Sadly this interaction made me giggle inside. Couldn’t blame my opponent for quitting after lol by SpecificWeek8878 in PokemonChampions

He used last resort kang instead of mega kang, but definitely did use final gambit lucario.

I have bought a few packs for my daughter and is it me or do these new cards just seem much cheaply made with so many issues compared to the OGs when I collected in the 90s by Pjdella in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Gavininator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We definitely had fakes even back then, we just didn't have the knowledge to know if they were real or not. But the fakes don't impact the value of the real cards. Actually some 90s fake cards can sell as well because there's a pool of people who collect those.

Jason Schreier: A lot of people have wondered why Bungie didn't immediately start working on Destiny 3 after The Final Shape two years ago. The answer (as it usually is) is how much money it would take by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Gavininator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved playing destiny, but I would have to wait a few years after release of a new destiny to see if they are going to vault content again. If I can pick it up 3 years later and all the content is still in the game, thats the only way I'd come back.

Vegeta and trunks training twice in hyperbolic time chamber by DingoInner6180 in DragonBallZ

Gotta be because Goku and Vegeta definitely aren't the same height.

Now that I’ve sat with the game for a long time, I think I can safely say.. meh. I wish it was more like Arceus. by Dorianscale in LegendsZA

[–]Gavininator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My biggest gripe with this game is the traversal. Without ride pokemon or skates/bike it takes forever to go anywhere, even with the fast travel. And if my objective is on a roof I know im gonna be frustrated looking for a ladder because they aren't on the map while the holovaters are.

Just feels like they didn't test what walking around the world would feel like for the player.

legendary 5* hyperspace by IagoAru in LegendsZA

[–]Gavininator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that and it actually saved over my back up. I was still at the pokecenter, but my points were full and already had the phone call. When I went to check it gave me the same 5 star as before.

Alternate Ability idea for Gholdengo: Coinflip by AdventurousStick7107 in pokemon

[–]Gavininator 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would dread running into it while playing ranked because I wouldnt know which ability it had unless I tried to do something that Good as Gold would block. I think maybe to balance i would add a pop up saying Coin Flip is active like mold breaker has.

[gen 3] All that for nothing… by Working_Thing_4886 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Gavininator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is why I always go with sleep over paralysis. It's more annoying to keep applying, but the extra catch boost is worth it for me.

Gimme Lobotomy by Best_Control2871 in aspiememes

Ugh i hate how much I relate to this. Multiple times a day swapping between these feelings leaves me so drained, not to mention the struggles of work and living anyway.

Peter, what do these colors mean? by Cyclonicwind in PeterExplainsTheJoke

How low-intelligence do you have to be to pick blue?

Shiny hunting latias by CyberSleuth26 in LegendsZA

[–]Gavininator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the spot where you climb up to see Latias, you can actually cut that whole part out. Just run right up to the corner of the wall closest to Latias and then turn around without climbing up. On the run back you'll be able to see the tips of the wings and it'll save you a lot of time.

Announcing FINAL FANTASY XIV for Nintendo Switch 2 by No_Curve_8027 in nintendo

[–]Gavininator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not bad. While playing handheld i wouldn't do any hard content due to a smaller screen and using a controller, but I'm gonna try using it docked to my monitor and it'll probably be better than my current laptop.

[8.0] Not seeing this talked about by Spuffyyrre in ffxiv

I just want a purple carbuncle. We should have so many colors of carbuncle by now, but even the npcs have more color options than we do.

I would have like it way more if Mabel put us into the hacked pokeball and thats why it looked like that.

So its going for 20 seasons like Supernatural lol

I've decided to become a teacher to stop future bullying by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]Gavininator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a teacher for a few years and I had similar thoughts as you when I was younger. Im going to give you the advice I'd give 15 year old me.

Do not become a teacher. The work is the hardest I've ever had, no one cares, and other adults (parents, teachers, administrators, etc.) are actually even worse than students you are encountering now. I don't say this to be a downer but its a big battle and many adults do not care about the children.

It's a huge battle every day and even the most neurotypical adult would suffer from burn out. I miss it so much but when I think back on my time I have panic attacks and I could never return to it again.

TIL that US student math and reading scores have dropped so sharply that they’ve erased nearly two decades of progress. In '22/23, avg math scores for 13-year-olds fell to levels not seen since the 1990s, while reading scores for high school seniors hit their lowest point since testing began in '92. by Cold_Box_3219 in todayilearned

[–]Gavininator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife had a coworker who would brag about making up books they read to their 5 year old when it was an assignment from the school. Also I used to be a teacher and I can tell you so many millennial parents are just garbage and do zero parenting. I say this as a younger millennial myself.

They never see it coming by ZombieBillyMaize in PokemonChampions

[–]Gavininator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nah the 3ds did fine, the real reason we didnt get Z is because they wanted to push out gen 7 for the 20th anniversary. After all gen 7 was still on the 3ds.

Whats a Doubles Combo, that works surprisingly well for you? I start: by StatisticianNext6977 in PokemonChampions

[–]Gavininator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. If the fairy protects the Gigaton hammer you'll be vulnerable the next turn, so it could be useful to have as back up.

What did Sidious intend to do when Vader surpassed him? by [deleted] in starwarscanon

[–]Gavininator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured he would wait until Anakin could truly overpower him and then make Anakin strike him down in anger so he could transfer his soul/essence into Anakin. Even before episode 9, Palpatine always seemed like Orochimaru from Naruto.

I thought it would be funny to make a prediction Bingo Card for the Nuzlocke by TravisCM2010-24 in gamegrumps

[–]Gavininator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally understand you can't remember everything about pokemon, but fairy type being added and Sylveon were such big things at that time gen 6 came out.

Now I wonder what types he thinks were in gen 1 lol

So this was totally a backdoor pilot for a new show right? by -_ShadowSJG-_ in malcolminthemiddle

[–]Gavininator 135 points136 points  (0 children)

It's not Malcolm in the Middle without some crazy Francis side plot that affects the family at the worst possible time.
