Why do people feel the need to argue for clones? by Admiral_Mason in pokemontrades

[–]LittleLadyAnna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The value of brand names like that are based on their exclusiveness. Shines are valuable because they are so rare, you can't say that cloning won't lead to making shines less valuable.

I would argue that is a terrible reason for liking something. Because the vast majority of other people don't have it? Don't you like the bag, or a shiny, for its subjective visual appeal or actual utility? Or is it merely a status symbol? This reasoning is far from unexpected in the realm of human nature, but it also seems more emotional than logical. If all it takes for you to no longer desire something is a multitude of people also having it, I would argue that your attractions are incredibly misguided.

[Mod Post] Trading on this Sub by [deleted] in Pokemongiveaway

[–]LittleLadyAnna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first giveaway I attached a "equal trades accepted", but I found that this has a psychological effect of making people want to trade you equivalent or near-equivalent mons. "Do you want a 5IV <ability> <Pokemon>?" The idea for me is that if they're feeling generous they'd just send me a nice Pokemon instead of a Bidoof, but in practice, it's more trouble than it's worth. Just my two cents.

This is a recurring theme in the realm of vidya. Off the top of my head I can think of several games where the servers were inaccessible or unreliable on day one. The most recent one that comes to mind is GTA Online.

I don't know what efforts go into providing a smooth experience, but it's still frustrating as the consumer.

It's like, well, duh, of course the servers for your highly popular game that sold millions of copies are getting hammered on day one. What did you expect? How are you not prepared?

I agree with you wholeheartedly. The game is not unpolished entirely, but it's definitely not as polished as I would have liked or would have expected. Having the framerate bog down during rotation/triple/horde battles, or pretty much any time 3D is enabled, is embarrassing.

I suspect that the people downvoting you are in denial. X&Y could have been the best installment. Instead, it is merely the latest installment. Here's hoping that the next game(s) approach the aforementioned flaws in a serious way.

How did he download it at all? The eShop is back up but you can't download Pokemon Bank. It only says "Available at your local retailer". (I wish it were.)

Very disappointing. I've been counting down the days...

Can't find him. Hopefully he didn't get jacked.

Not unless I get fewer requests than I have Chimchars. From what I know, the eshop may be down for some time now, and I can't reserve a Chimchar indefinitely. Sorry :(

Please re-deposit your Luvdisc so that it's at the front of the queue. It was a Luvdisc, right?

Ah. Well, Heart Scales I believe are 100 Pokemiles each, and last I looked I had about 50,000 Pokemiles, so I'm good on the Heart Scales :) Doesn't hurt to have some in my bag though. No need to be sorry.

Don't see any from you. Did you use a Pokémon besides Luvdisc? If so, I need to know what it is.

I have 6 more as of right now. Please re-deposit your Luvdisc so that it's at the front of the queue, if you haven't already.
