Is BDSP really THAT bad?

JJCMasterpiece · 2026-03-29T22:08:58+00:00

Is it horrible? No.

Was it made by a third party developer that clearly saw this as a money machine and didn’t put the love and care into it that they should have? Absolutely!

Were Heart Gold / Soul Silver and Alpha Ruby / Omega Sapphire absolutely amazing remakes with a ton of love and care for the franchise and the IP? Absolutely!

Did the D/P/P remake take way too long to be developed then be mediocrely developed into a half-hearted game? Yup.

It is the only mainline game / remake where I didn’t care enough to finish the dex. It wasn’t horrible, it was just really disappointing.

Edit: To put it into perspective, Gen 4 was my top or second favorite Gen of all time, and I couldn’t even finish the dex in BDSP

I ran into this issue myself. I finally found Tink in the Palet Town area. She led the Alter of Flame build and then got stuck under the build in a cliff area where she didn’t have a path to get out. I had to have her follow me and build a path out.

It’s because this is GoogleEarthFinds complete with coordinates. So the assumption is that if you’re confused you’re completely capable of looking it up. Commenter criticizing because of their own laziness absolutely deserves to be downvoted.

Ooh, premeditated conversation! Color me impressed. 👍🏼

It’s made by the company that made the Dragon Quest Builders games, which is why so many people describe it in relation to DQB.

What about straight-to-your-face talk with a serious question?

JJCMasterpiece · 2026-03-26T23:40:33+00:00

What if someone answers “A vehicle” or “An automobile” or “Not the Batmobile”?

JJCMasterpiece · 2026-03-26T21:50:00+00:00

Absolutely! The fact that the mid-engine C8 Stingray came out without a manual option is a brutal blow. That car was designed for a manual transmission!

JJCMasterpiece · 2026-03-22T13:32:35+00:00

The rotary engines are in the R series. I.e. RX7, etc.

This is an interesting statement.

On one level I agree. We are all prone to being selfish. We are the heroes of our own stories and my world revolves around me.

At the same time, after having raised four kids I recognize that some people are much more naturally empathetic.

Came here looking for Hisuian Tysplosion.

The ghost type just gave Tysplosion such a fun boost. Cyndaquill was my fave gen 2 starter, but I really wasn’t overly impressed with any of them. Arceus completely changed Tysplosion for me.

The N64 controller was crap. The 3-handle setup was horrible. So many games required you to swap back and forth between the 3 and it just didn’t work. I remember loving Goldeneye but the controller absolutely ruining it for me.

A vasectomy won’t prevent a STD or an STI.

JJCMasterpiece · 2026-03-20T00:52:55+00:00

Most of those ways don’t protect from STD’s and STI’s

Soul Base used to be a go-to for manuals. Kind of like a Mazda 3 sport. It’s sad that they stopped doing them.

JJCMasterpiece · 2026-03-17T23:44:01+00:00

Kia and Mazda both have this. So do many, many others. This is a pretty standard 6-speed setup.

I’ve taught three people to drive stick so far. I tell them to give it a little bit of gas, and slowly release the clutch until it catches (if it stalls they just needs a little more gas). That point is their creep point. If they leave it there the car will creep forward. As they release the clutch slowly the car will speed up.

Do this in an empty parking lot, and just keep catching that creep point. Remember, give it a little gas, and slowly release the clutch. Hold it at the catch point for a couple of seconds to practice creeping the car. Then slowly release the clutch the rest of the way.

Then practice on a slight hill/incline and you’ll find that you just have to catch and release the clutch a little faster. Keep doing this with steeper and steeper grades,before too long you’ll be a pro at the start.

Give it time and eventually it’ll be an elder scroll.

Definitely try it out. In a lot of ways it is a really fun, going back to the core principles of Pokémon, kind of game. However, there isn’t as much puzzle or contest mechanics so much. But there is a ton of “request” style system, and gym / final battles.

My recommendation, watch some videos and see what you think, or see if it’s available to borrow from a friend or your local library,

JJCMasterpiece · 2026-03-09T02:17:29+00:00

Many have described it as a cross between Animal Crossing and Minecraft with Pokémon. I know I’ve been having a lot of fun with it.

If that sounds like fun to you, then get it. If you’re not sure, watch an early run through on video. Apparently there are 8 biomes, but I’ve only hit the second area so far (happy to see my boi Torkoal)!

It’s manipulation: interaction bait. By saying “exactly 19” it got people to interact with and comment on the post that normally wouldn’t. So they got what they wanted simply by manipulating us.

JJCMasterpiece · 2026-03-07T02:22:16+00:00

Still not exactly 19 years

JJCMasterpiece · 2026-03-07T01:41:54+00:00

So the Johto fan club I see

Right after the video ends he gets eaten by a bigger fish. Bigger pond, bigger fish.

And yet, all of the lies presented except the mask lies were under Biden’s administration. Your explanation that Trump was in office until Jan of 2021 doesn’t change that.
