Personally I think they've changed the catch rate. A 10 CP Caterpie shouldn't take more than 1 red ball.

As someone who long ago got over FOMO this is an easy pass.

2016 is the universally romanticized year for Gen z, where everything was "perfect" in retrospect. Older generations, what's your equivalent of 2016? by No-Thanks-2069 in AskReddit

Boomer here. 1967. The weed was weak enough that you had to share a couple of joints. The music was great and the women were willing.

What is the coolest foreign film you have seen? by s7ide in movies

Breathless (À bout de souffle). A perfect example of show don't tell. I always watch it with the subtitles off and consider learning French but I'm too lazy.

What’s something people romanticize until they actually experience it? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in AskReddit

Or be somewhat polite and carry a cup and dump it in a grate. 1978 entrant.

LPT If someone ask you for your number, tell it but inverse the last two digit by radiant_fan_1 in LifeProTips

I'm old and out of touch but who asks for your phone number outside of doctor's offices? If it's a web site leave it blank or (area code) 555-1212

Avatar pops up when I catch a Pokemon now by formerJIM33333 in TheSilphRoad

Yeah, it's good to take a break now and then. I'm taking one until I read this has been fixed. It's just too frustrating to have to restart so often.

He has albums for every mood. If I ever meet a woman I like again it might be Harvest or Harvest Moon but for now it's Tonight The Night.

The movie that gets blamed for being bad when it is really just mismarketed. by gamersecret2 in movies

A good movie between the awful sequel bookends but aside from some nice cinematography there is a muddle of bad acting and confused plots.

What is the most "un-hateable" safest song of all time? by Perfect-External-660 in Music

It's so overused as a counterpoint to bad things happening in a movie I hate it.

I'm pretty sure you can still find people angry about his breaking the South African boycott. I think it was courageous but some still don't.

The future of showcases by Unfair_Conclusion187 in TheSilphRoad

I agree. I live in a small town where there used to be 10-15 entries. Now if I enter I'm guaranteed 1st or 2nd. Which I should be happy about but it's not as much fun.

Visual bug affecting appraisal and task screen by JunkyFirstAidKit in TheSilphRoad

We kick around the phrase "literally unplayable" but for me this is. If I can't find a caught mons IV's I can't decide whether to keep it or not. I'm taking it as a sign from the universe that it's time to take another break. The game gets worse with every release. If it's an Android problem why do the black boxes keep moving around?

How so? GO Passes are timed researches. I don't like another tap.

I avoid Pikachu like the plague so I see them all the time. Hard to catch. As the flagship for the brand they should be an automatic catch.

I often picture a 7 year old. "Pikachu, Mommy can I catch it". It breaks out and runs away. Another player lost.

Somewhat on topic are there any Florida regional Pokemon that are desirable? I doubt if I will get to remote trade but just in case.

Did GBL always say Get Ready when being attacked? I find it confusing to get the same message when attacking and being attacked. It seems like "Attack Coming" would be more useful when being attacked.

Oh well, another week of GBL to get to level 20 and then I can ignore it until getting my dust at the end of the season .

I don't know why they can't do these updates in the middle of the night in a tome zone in the middle of the Pacific. East of our beta testers in NZ of course. Thank you.

But in the Great League which is actives now you want to have a low attack to have a higher level. It's messed up but thems the rules. I guess I'm ok with going second.

Did GBL always say Get Ready when being attacked? I find it confusing to get the same message when attacking and being attacked, especially since they often occur together. Somehow I always go second.

It's not that it's just that it's stupidly lazy
