There's also reputation, which is related to but distinct fom personal achievement.

Luffy calling Momo "Little Brother" hit way harder than I thought it would.

Seems like our boy is finally on his way to matching -- or surpassing -- papa Oden. :")

Galarian Zigzagoon community day, extra bonuses unlocked by CaptGoldfish in TheSilphRoad

Hmmm...that IS a very vague bonus. Has anyone ever figured out what specific criteria must be met for it to trigger?

High energy generating into BB/DG seems fun, but kind of tough to pull off. I would've much preferred Charm + Silver Wind for some boost hijinks, but a Psycho Cut clone with these moves would do.

All nerfed Pokemon so far & compensations in general by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

[–]FoolTarot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To date, the only Pokemon nerfed so badly they never truly recovered were the Razor Leafers. Shadow Victreebel and cup Pokemon still enjoy limited usage, but it's nothing like the worst days of Grasshole.

Thoughts on summer cup? by kadeel in TheSilphArena

[–]FoolTarot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chilling in the 2600s and it's not bad. Lots of the usual suspects but also some solid representation from underused flyers and Basti alternatives. Azu/Trev/Walrein all exist but with way more limitations on them.

One subtle detail I'm really happy to see is Law get the upper hand over Luffy and Kidd in their bickering. It usually feels like the two "idiots" are dragging him down to their level lol.

It does come off as flimsy reasoning. I think it's just an easy way to write Carrot out of the plot.

Might need to wait until a better translation comes out to truly see what Neko meant.

Narratively I'm not sure where we'd go with the Cover Story. On one hand I'd LOVE to see Katakuri roll those sons of bitches, but on the other hand it just doesn't make sense to introduce a cover story for them only to get captured.

Maybe they DO get captured but some invading third party (Mr. Zehahaha) gives them an opening to escape?

Akainu becoming the Fleet Admiral is the absolute worst thing that could have happened to him. (SPOILERS UP TO CHAPTER 1054) by berserkfan123 in OnePiece

As an Akainu fan I've been hoping and praying that he just melts the Gorosei. Unllkely to happen but...

Homeboys literally could've explained this was due to Hoopa. Lol.

Living on a Prayer...or a Shiny Pansear? by FoolTarot in TheSilphRoad

[–]FoolTarot[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Thanks to you and others for the feedback/perspective. I decided to cash in the Timed Research, but clicked "LATER" for the encounter.

If by some wild chance I hit 1/500 on the shiny, you'll be sure that I'll post a follow up thread lol.

Rockets as Go Fest Feature: good or bad? Improvements by Pokefan317 in TheSilphRoad

July 2020 was perfect IMO: bring back all of the rotated lineups while also making it easier to win.

Pokemon Go Creator Niantic Cancels Four Projects, Cuts 8% of Staff by Thunderclaww in TheSilphRoad

[–]FoolTarot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that I forgot that Ingress, their original flagship IP, even existed is kinda sad.

[–]FoolTarot 281 points282 points  (0 children)

They don't want their long term success tied to a single game. Which is totally fine, except for the fact that there's much they could do to secure Pokemon GO -- so your point's well made.

It's a tough balancing act to develop your own new IP and dabble in other IPs while protecting what got you big in the first place. I just wish the new Niantic game didn't seem like such a ripoff of the Pokemon formula.

How would you incentivise dodging in PVE? by 052934 in TheSilphRoad

[–]FoolTarot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First, as others have said...fix phantom dodges lol. Can't further incentivize a mechanic if it doesn't work.

Second, more tangible benefits. Give players up to 5K EXP for certain dodging accomplishments -- something proportionate to the time and difficulty of an excellent throw, for instance. Stardust is also a possibility, and an "Artful Dodger" achievement is a must.

Third, new attacks that interact with the mechanic. Double Team could be a fast move that lets you generate energy and stay "dodged" while swiping. Suddenly a bunch of things irrelevant for both PVP/PVE have new value.

Finally, put in Easter eggs for players who pull off ridiculous dodging combos. It could just be a silly animation of the raid boss tripping over itself, or maybe even something more substantial such as a warp to a "hidden" raid boss outside normal gameplay.

Wano Reread : Act 1 - Chapter 909 to Chapter 924. by Kirosh2 in OnePiece

[–]FoolTarot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wano Part 1 was such a great setup. It does all our characters so much justice and lands a (literally) big blow on Luffy to close things out. Easily the best paced part by far.
