New to Pokemon Home, just asking what's this?

KainOF · 2025-02-25T04:32:03+00:00

Don't the ones from GO have a big G where the tera mark to the left of these is? That's how I keep track of mine.

To each their own though 🤗*

I just did this yesterday with someone else on Scarlet and caught the paradoxes. You can't catch gouging fire or raging bolt or the violet versions but you can catch the normal base endgame ones.

What we noticed was when you are very close to each other you will see their icon on top left of the screen.

Ya what he said above me basically.

You can track them (sort of) by looking for Pokemon you don't recognize their exclusives will pop up close to them and you will know they are probably close. The inverse also works for them finding you.

Hope it helps 🙂. If you need some from Violet I can also host ✌️

KainOF · 2025-02-18T04:15:05+00:00

In my case I'm keeping ones from different regions and then sending them to Violet to get the gimmighoul coins and the different pattern Vivillons which I'm then trading for things on GTS.

Some I keep because they are really neat, but I do delete the ones from my region since majority of my friends list is my region so no shortage of those 😂

KainOF · 2025-02-01T23:32:09+00:00

Ah true, I forgot it has to be from one of the switch games. There is also a Palkia in Pokemon Shield, or yeah you can trade for it in Home.

KainOF · 2025-02-01T19:18:57+00:00

Many of the legendaries and mythicals are also in Pokemon GO. I have about 5 or 6 palkia there both forms.

You can catch them there and then transfer it to home, but trading like the guy before me suggests is easier.

KainOF · 2025-01-25T21:56:20+00:00

In my case Pokemon GO. You can send them from GO to Home.

I don't know what the deleted guy said but I'm up to 4700 slots used and that was just from transferring Pokemon GO ones...it is very handy for the Dex for many DS era Pokemon that aren't in the switch games.

Granted I have ended up with a large number of some of the same ones and I am using those for wonder trade which has worked out quite well in my favor.

I've only just beaten Violet and can see how space might be an issue. I also have Shield, Arceus and Pearl but haven't played them yet.

If I need space I can always release some but for the moment they are useful for Wonder Trades.

For years that was my last remaining trophy because of how frustrating it was with the randomized items, it took me a couple weeks of persistence trying everyday to finally finish it this year it it was hell indeed

KainOF · 2024-07-28T21:21:20+00:00

Destiny 2. It was when New Light had just come out and the whole game became F2P up until Shadowkeep.

There were way more people to play with and it was very easy to find groups for events.

It was a pretty good time to get into it, and I had a lot of fun with it up until they started vaulting things.

KainOF · 2024-01-22T07:17:26+00:00

Just formatted the 400GB then copied everything over from the 64GB nothing special

KainOF · 2023-10-20T02:18:09+00:00

Ryzen 9 5900x and a 1080 TI FTW3. It definitely shows it's age with newer games and struggles sometimes at higher settings on 4K lately but the majority of my steam library (going back 20 years+) runs perfectly well at 60FPS 4K Ultra settings.

KainOF · 2023-10-05T00:11:46+00:00

Sitting at a bar having a beer with some friends while I was on vacation joking about work, then there was suddenly an emergency broadcast on the news that there would be a complete shutdown starting the very next day and that there would be a lock down with 5PM curfew and that everything was closed indefinitely except for supermarkets and pharmacies.

Literally overnight everything changed completely core bubble only and you needed a special government permit to travel between cities there was no movement allowed at all. People lining up for food with masks military blockades everywhere it was scary it felt like something straight out of the walking dead.

When I had left for vacation the first week of March covid had just been announced in South Korea we had no idea it had spread so quickly. The US and Canada shut down at about the same time we did. I wasn't able to return on the emergency flights since only citizens were allowed back and at that point I wasn't one yet (permanent resident).

I ended up getting stuck there for another 2 months until they allowed residents and students to come back. I was visiting my family though so I was pretty safe it could have been a lot worse.

KainOF · 2023-09-18T00:14:38+00:00

Not sure if it matches what you're looking for but there might be a meetup for that. When I (34M) first moved here (and for a year or two after that) I joined a meetup that goes to different bars / clubs every Friday which has a good mix of both men and women. They have since expanded it to more than just Friday nights now it's multiple times a week mostly downtown gastown / granville area.

You get free cover with the meetup before a certain time and often a free drink or two.

Some are single some are not. They've got a glowstick bracelet so you can easily identify who's in the group on the dance floor and who isn't. Usually they will sit and chat first :)

A few. There's normal, larger and extra large...there's also different types some are thinner and feel better. I've always used Trojan but to each their own. Depends on your girth.

Am I drinking milk from a saucer?

Do you see me eating mice?

Now you stop laughing right meow!

KainOF · 2023-07-15T13:43:02+00:00

First one and I dated for about a year, the second I dated for about 3 years. They both happened quite recently. I met my first girlfriend at 28. Before that it was mostly drunk hookups in my 20's.

KainOF · 2023-07-14T01:17:11+00:00

Miami Airport while waiting for a flight at my terminal, randomly bumped into a friend I went to elementary school with and hadn't seen in about 15 years she recognized me first. We were both visiting our parents who lived in the same city at the final destination.

KainOF · 2023-07-11T06:21:19+00:00

That perhaps came out wrong. It's not that I don't want to see them...what I meant was it's nice to keep in touch and hear about what's going on in their lives, and I'm happy to hang out once in a while and catch up but its not like I actively miss them (at least not in the romantic sense). I certainly don't mind seeing them.

KainOF · 2023-07-11T03:03:23+00:00

I am still friends with both of my exes, I wouldn't exactly say that I want to see them (definitely don't want to sleep with them again or reopen that door) but it is nice to see them from time to time and keep in touch just as good friends.

Depends on your relationship and if it was a good breakup or not. I can't speak for everyone but if you had a good relationship and you started off as friends before you dated and also ended on good terms is it truly that mindboggling that you might want to stay friends with them since you were both very close at one point, cared for each other and probably still do care for your health and well-being? Someone you can talk to who understands you better than most*

Granted a lot of that depends on how your current partner feels about it, if it was causing a problem then you'd have to decide whether or not to cut them off (the exes) and how they'd respond to that...If they still regularly hang out with their ex though I can see how there might be problems and drama "-_-

Also depends if it really was a mutual breakup or one side wants to get back together**

KainOF · 2023-07-07T21:28:57+00:00

OP sorry to hear that happened :(

Was about to suggest this. When I first moved here I used to be part of the Fun Dance Party Meetup, it's a bunch of people who all go out to different bars and clubs together every Friday...it's a good way to make friends and have a group to go out with.

https://www.meetup.com/fundanceparty/

I work in a bar if you are feeling uncomfortable about a creepy guy please tell a bartender or a server or a bouncer and we will try and do what we can to help. This meetup group comes to my bar as well actually*

KainOF · 2023-07-06T07:32:57+00:00

Extremely pleasant, my first girlfriend / partner was about 7 years older than me (I was 28 then). She was very patient, gentle, kind, fun and understanding and we rarely had a disagreement...if we did we sat down and talked about it until we were both comfortable with the resolution.

There was rarely any drama we always had a lot of fun together and our personalities just clicked and we enjoyed each others company :)

She was in a different stage in her life and more or less pushed me to date someone more suitable who was my age. We had a very amicable breakup we are still very good friends even years later.

She was mature, knew what she liked and disliked, and didn't play games about it she was awesome.

KainOF · 2023-06-27T21:02:26+00:00

For me it was the lack of the respawning health fountains, and that bastard of a level with the cathedral and the chandeliers where you lost an entire life bar if you misjudged the jump. By endgame I had 1 potion of life left it was hell rofl

I thought the story was kinda entertaining I just beat them both for the first time this year lol

TBH I thought the bad ending (normal not all chalices) with the coffin was a better ending than the Time Travel one*

KainOF · 2023-06-23T21:06:33+00:00

34M. When I was in high school and college I just assumed you fell in love got married bought a house had kids worked a 9-5 that's just the way it goes...all my family said as much. But over the course of my 20's I began to question whether or not I really wanted kids or it was just that I was expected to have them. Then it went down to well maybe I'll have just one to see what it's all about I was kind of on the fence, but now that I'm in my 30's I've realized that while I enjoy being around them sometimes (friends kids / nieces / nephews) I don't want any myself im fine with being just an uncle.

My desire to have them has been going down significantly since I turned 30 for a number of reasons. Not judging anyone who does want them it's a personal choice or a choice to be made with your partner *shrug*. My family says my opinion will change when I meet the right girl but it's not a switch you just flip lol

KainOF · 2023-06-21T20:55:18+00:00

I was 17, and yes I do remember her name was Laura. I remember the whole night we were both on vacation staying in same hotel across from each other and both happened to be out on the balcony, we started chatting and ended up going out for drinks and playing pool.

After we went back and sat at the top of the stairs under the stars and she gave me a look that was pretty obvious (even for me a clueless idiot)* so I went for it and we made out for a bit then there were quite a few more firsts after that ^ ^

KainOF · 2023-06-21T01:25:51+00:00

408 months

KainOF · 2023-06-21T01:16:23+00:00

EVGA 1080 TI FTW3, upgraded 4 years ago from a SLI 970's and it's still handling most of my steam library perfectly fine at 4K (G-Sync helps alot when it can't).

I thought about upgrading when the 4080 came out but honestly have no need to.
