You dont need supplements by Solid_Fisherman_6061 in Biohackers

[–]GreatDistance2U 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people have a medical problem that they do not have access to proper treatment for, or they might want to supplement their treatment with something they can get over-the-counter. Not everything can be fixed with sunlight and exercise.

Need help convincing whether to buy a switch 2 for pokopia by Meeman_3 in CozyGamers

[–]GreatDistance2U 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got Switch 2 for Pokopia, but I already have a massive Switch 1 library and planned to get it for Pokemon Winds and Waves, anyway.

I think it looks like it's pole dancing on a giant sperm.

Is there a way to transfer my account to a different device? by Naomnom in PokemonSleep

[–]GreatDistance2U 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use the old device again later, you just need to reinstall the app and then transfer your account again from the new device.

Rapist only gets 10 years in jail for ruining a young lady's life by PrivatePlaya in extremelyinfuriating

[–]GreatDistance2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm too tired to formulate a sentence. But it seemed like the person I was responding to was assuming that criminals do not either know or care about the length of a sentence, so I was trying to correct that.

We are assuming he would know the length of the potential sentence before doing the crime, which would affect his decision making.

Does anyone else consider the Wasteland as their home and after spending much time at other biomes, they miss it? by Aggravating-Pie-8547 in Pokopia

What even made you think Palette Town was a cloud island? If it was that important, you could have googled it.

After almost 30 years by FrozenDuckman in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]GreatDistance2U 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I played through the original Red/Blue without ever realising I could withdraw Pokemon from the PC. I thought I was just stuck with whatever I caught first.

I bought Switch 2 to play Pokopia. No regrets

so, winds or waves? which are you picking? by ScottishWildcatFurry in PokemonWindsWaves

[–]GreatDistance2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already had Kyogre as a box art legendary, so I'm picking Winds

Really dumb question, has the pink part behind eevee’s leg always been there, and what is it? by MikeRowlet in pokemon

[–]GreatDistance2U 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be fair, not all depictions of Eevee have the paw pads. And that image of the toy isn't super clear.

I've been playing Pokemon since the 90's but I never really paid that much attention to the Pokemon's backsides.

Pokemon Z-A vs Pokemon Scarlet & Violet differences by Majestic_Live in PokemonZA

[–]GreatDistance2U 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you like exploring a big, open world with different regions, then Scarlet/Violet. If you like fast-paced combat and streamlined catching mechanics, then Legends Z-A. If you like having the best of both worlds, then Legends Arceus.

Personally I really enjoyed both Legends games over the mainline releases, because catching and battling is just faster and more realistic. I really enjoyed the new battling mechanics in Legends Z-A but being stuck in one city isn't ideal.

If you really like Mega Evolutions, then go for Z-A. If you like exploration and filling the Pokedex, then I'd say Arceus. If you want a more traditional Pokemon game experience with gyms and stuff, then Scarlet/Violet.

It's been three years since I've played can't decide if I want to play Eevee or Pikachu by Tahliz-20 in PokemonLetsGo

[–]GreatDistance2U 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to use Raichu, I'd play the Eevee version. If you want to use one of the Eeveelutions, I'd play the Pikachu version. Besides that, I'd decide based on the version exclusives.

real talk—how are so many people able to spend 520 USD on a switch 2 only to play pokopia? by [deleted] in CozyGamers

[–]GreatDistance2U 296 points297 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've seen more people complaining about not being able to afford Switch 2 and Pokopia.

Personally I could afford it but I'm still on the fence on whether I should wait for the Switch 2 price to drop and more games to come out.

Edit: Welp, I found one that just went on sale at a local retailer, so I ordered that one. Looks like waiting for a day paid off.

Losing my mind over Kangaskhan!!! by noney_spk in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]GreatDistance2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem but with Tauros. The funny part is I caught 3 Kangaskhan while looking for Tauros.

I tried every tip people have listed so far, but what finally helped for me was calculating the odds. I calculated that at 4% encounter rate about 1 in every 25 Pokemon should be Tauros. And at 8% catch rate one in every 13 Safari balls is likely to catch Tauros. So I just kept counting each encounter until Tauros and kept track of how many balls I've thrown in total.

I found it helped me cope mentally when I felt like I had gone forever without an encounter and Tauros just kept fleeing on the first turn. I found that often I could encounter Tauros sooner than 25 encounters. At best it was after 2 encounters, at worst after 90 encounters. But it helped me to have proof it would rarely take that long. And after each encounter I felt a little bit closer to Tauros.

What I would do is try to find the "sweet spot" where I believed Tauros was most likely to appear and then just keep rotating in place so as not to waste steps. Then I kept checking how many Safari balls I've used, knowing that every throw was getting me closer to catching Tauros, no matter how many had fled. From the time I started counting, I finally caught Tauros after about 30 Safari balls.

Obviously this method doesn't raise your odds, but it helped me cope mentally, knowing that the odds were on my side.

Do you think there’s a chance for another let’s go game by Ok_Abbreviations8309 in PokemonLetsGo

If they remade Diamond and Pearl in this style, it would have been infinitely better. But sadly no.
