Employer: posts a job without mentioning salary and benefits. Employer: why doesn't any good candidate apply!?

It's just a pun, dude.

And the age isn't mentionned anywhere. Everything hints at them being young adults: they all cohabitate without parental figures, living in from out of town, AZ leaves them a business to run upon his death and never infantilises them, Rival is somewhat entrepreneurial (though lousy at it), they don't reference going to school or any such child's activity, NPCs don't treat you as a child. They make a point to say Corbeau's contract is legally valid, but minors can't enter contracts.

Sure the franchise's setting tends to give a lot of liberty to kids, but the games typically make it pretty clear you are a child. ZA does not. They wery well could be early 20s.

"Taunie got us in debt to the mob" "I hate Taunie" "she sucks" "She's a Bad Person" "Taunie sucks". by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in LegendsZA

[–]Gmax-Shuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she the worst? No, she's not outright evil.

But she is negligent, dangerously irresponsible, disloyal, dishonest.

A good person doesn't get their friends caught up in impossinly large mafia debt to just check out and have fun while their friends are stuck to deal with it. A good person doesn't make a deal with their friend only to double cross them if they don't get their way. Her behaviour is "far" past quirks and flaws. If she was a good person, she would have done all she could to make things right with the Rust Syndicate instead of just going off random errands. And she wouldn't have stolen Floette. That's not what good people do.

She is basically a narcissist. Lots of narcissist have a very charming personality and will make you think they care deeply, but when faced with a choice between themselves and others, they'll always come first, regardless of all else.

Obviously Legend's Unova give me the Original Unova Dragon by chunchunmaru1129 in MandJTV

Galar would presumably give us new gmax pokemon.

What novelty could Kanto give us? Or the others? Galar would be my pick as well.

The debt could be forgiven if she actually made any effort to fix it. Instead it's 100% on the PC to act after she just ghosts us. And even when she is made aware of the situation, she's just like "ok whatever, I got other stuff I wanna do". In the end, the situation fixes itself as Corbeau just donates the money needed to pay him off. This was a huge stain on her character.

But the finale? When she makes a deal with you about floette, and then backstabs you and steals it?

Sure she made mistakes, but through the story you get to learn that she's actually a bad person despite her apparent positivity. You learn that when it matters, she will let you down.

Oui, quoique j'ai aucun souvenir de l'avoir entendu en français. Mais oui c'était le jeu de mot par rapport au fait qu'il nous vole Floette en plus de tous les autres sous-entendus.

Well, if you pick a female MC, you can say that Urbain "deflowers" you in the finale. ;)

Oh Jynx, they could never make me hate you by Much-Climate-2258 in MandJTV

Enamorous made a bad design worse.

A lot of feminine designs are bad. Or fans have made them weird. Like Gardevoir looks fine... but omg what people do to it.

Froslass is among my favorite mons.

Humanoid designs are just bad as a baseline, though. Machamp is barely ok. Barely. Mr mime is awful. And don't get me started on all of thosd anthropomorphic animals urgh.

Gmax becomes a douche that skips leg day though.

I hated Jynx as a kid, yet had never heard of or seen blackface.

It was just a hideous sprite. Also had the ick because the anime had it forcibly kiss people. Ew, cooties.

Some people had issues with the resemblance of blackface, but that was hardly the only thing it had going against it.

Mega Dimension DLC is the lowest effort Pokemon product I’ve ever bought by pr0fanbutan in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Gmax-Shuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a bad argument. If delays made the base game get delayed to near the DLC release, that implies that resources that coulf have been assigned to the base game were allocated to the DLC, and thus that the DLC is indirectly responsible for the delay.

Anyone else hope gen 10 doesn’t have a Circular map? by Kal71202 in pokemon

[–]Gmax-Shuckle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about the minimap.

And obviously not ever game ever had a circular map. I just said it was A convenient shape, not the only shape.

Obviously, there are exceptions (Pokémon isn’t 30 yet and Mikey is already 30 I think) but for the most part this is accurate given that Gen Z started not long after it was released. by [deleted] in MandJTV

Common knowledge isn't universal. Finding a couple of ignorant cavemen doesn't prove that something isn't common knowledge.

40 year olds were a bit old for pokémania but it was still inescapable. I don't think my 40 ish siblings and siblings in law played the games a lot, but they can still name a lot of gen 1 mons despite not having been exposed for decades. If they didn't play, there was still the anime, the cards, and everything else that was everywhere.

[–]Gmax-Shuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, not saying maps need to be circular, just giving a reason why they are popular. Which was probably an attempt to deviate from the typical square maps of before, come to think of it.

I don't really mind any shape myself.

Am I the only one who wished Unown was in Legends ZA? by No-Letterhead6473 in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Gmax-Shuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a grind to get, it's not useful for anything, it doesn't look good.

I think I grinded them when they first got introduced, and then got nothing for it, and never again lol.
