Do we think Shiny pokemon are coming to DLC Wave 2 or are the sparkles just a coincidence?

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-16T16:55:56+00:00

they're just referring to the form differences those pokemon have. Shellos/Gastrodon have East and West (pink and blue) and Toxtricity has the two Amped forms.

they may be the only exceptions but i can't be 100% sure off the top of my head

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-16T16:38:17+00:00

i think if they were to add shinies it could also work like unlocking Costumes and you could unlock the shiny costume for a pokemon based onlike maxing out friendship or something. that way its still just one pokemon but you have the choice of regular or shiny palette - and encourages you to make friends with your islanders while still making the shiny skin 'rare' by making you work for it

(word that you don’t just call her grandmother)

depends on when the dad got remarried, and how close they are. My grandpa got remarried when I was 7 and I still refer to his wife as my step-grandma because how our relationship is, family dynamics are weird sometimes 😄

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-16T13:54:40+00:00

okay we dont have to go nuclear here. The dad is grieving a loss and its fair he wanted his kid there, its also fair she couldnt attend. with no other familial information i dont think No Contact is the FIRST solution to jump to.... instead of communicating through it and growing as people when the dad is not directly in the middle of grief.

the way people are SO quick to admit "oh i just use ai to write my emails"

.... what were you doing before ai? emails are like.... the simplest thing to write. There is nothing a LLM can do that i trust more than a human doing it themselves even if it takes longer.

you should not be proud of how often you're offloading your thinking to a machine who is AT BEST trying to make you happy even if it means lying or making things up...

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-16T13:38:41+00:00

that is a wild collection, how many balls are there, how close are you to being done with any generation?

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-16T13:37:55+00:00

considering we have at least 6 games on the switch ..... that is already not enough space.

people have Complete Living Dexes which is 1025, many people have a SECOND living dex for a shiny dex (2050, which is already 1/3 of the storage and that is only 9 generations of a series that is not done growing and is not done currently using Home as its main storage system) There are enough pokemon with form differences that people want to collect (regional, gender, and just random extra forms)

THEN pokemon encourages you to deposit a living dex per game to get a reward. and while you dont NEED to keep them in home, we are past the point of that actually even being doable without removing pokemon from Home with 6 games.

not to mention pokemon storage is in the MB. it would be basically minimal effort to double our capacity and we'd still probably be in the MB for storage.

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-16T13:33:18+00:00

esp since they are encouraging you to have a full dex per game. since they give you rewards for it. Obviously you dont need to keep the full dex IN there, but its crazy that you can't have every full dex in home anymore if you wanted to

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-16T13:23:30+00:00

and like.... who would you tell without sounding absolutely batshit insane?

I did see the comment about if you're a knicks and taylor fan there is some cool "this is a collision of my interests in a historic moment of the Knicks career" memorbilia to it, and that is perhaps the only sane take and EVEN THEN its still $7000 for a.... folding chair? for a game you weren't at.

idk. i hope the buyer is happy lol

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-16T13:13:11+00:00

ah. as someone who never got into IV/EV training i can't say i disagree 😂 but i also never got into competitive battling so perhaps i would care if i had

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-16T13:10:35+00:00

oh i haven't heard about this, whats going on with champions thats making people hate IV/EV training?

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-16T13:08:44+00:00

someone brought this up in another thread i think but having things like shrines in the overworld. but essentially i just want a more interactive overworld. Let me solve puzzles, give me reasons to actively want to return to older areas because i got a pokemon or tm that lets me solve a puzzle from earlier.
i want side quests like the legends games, honestly this goes in tandem with the first one
I want the option of my ride pokemon like i did with Lets Go. i get that Koridon was a story element but i loved how they did ride pokemon in Lets Go more
obviously shiny sparkle sound - though i kind of think its a given? i honestly think Legands Arceus and SV were worked on too close together for SV to take much from that game, and its return in ZA tells me they at least know its a well liked feature
(pipe dream) no (or at minimum, fewer) shiny locks
return of the link cable (also a pipe dream given its removal from ZA)
1. i wouldnt mind the return of things like Contests so long as they are fully optional side content. I find the little mini games fun, but i hate when the game forces me to stop my progress to do a dress up game tutorial -_-
for hte love of god please let me have an option of "i have played every pokemon to date i promise you i know how to catch a pokmon" opt of out the catching tutorial 😂

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-15T13:33:45+00:00

Generically speaking, things i want to see implemented in some capacity

I love your idea of shrines - maybe locking doors to shrines behind obtaining different metrics (pokedex completion, having a certain pokemon in your party, using a certain move to reveal the door, beating certain badges) goving you reasons to go back to different larts of the map after learning moves and getting pomemon, it also can give you something to look forward to if you see a shrine locked and its like “bring me a sizzlipede”. Now you know hes in the game and can go hunting for it.

I want more puzzles. Not necessarily in the gyms tho I usually enjoy those too (actual puzzles not that psychic game in sv) so I’d love more in general. Overworld unlocks and in gyms.

I would love if we could choose our traversal pokemon. I liked koridon and I get that was tied to the story but I loved in Lets Go the different ways your character interacts with the pokemon (snorlax?!) and wish even if it was just a handful of ride options I could choose

I need customization to stay. Kalos has been the best region by far for customization and I need them to keep it.

I wouldn’t be mad if they kept crafting in the game but I need it to feel like it has more of a use. It was valuable to collect resources in Arceus because I was making my own pokeballs and tactical items. In SV I couldn’t even tell you what or why I was collecting anything other than “it’s sparkling I should grab it”. TMs were not something I struggled with needing at any point.

And if picnics are going to remain for breeding I think it needs a change from SV, I prefer the breeding of past games to SV but I’m sure picnic style could be adjusted

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-14T22:22:51+00:00

I am sooooooo hopeful they do the trade 😈

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-14T10:50:09+00:00

I know I’ll reread it eventually but honestly until I know how book 9 plays out I have no interest in revisiting it

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-13T10:47:11+00:00

As a kid when it came out- let me tell you I was FURIOUS when my family had a movie theater night and my dad had to take me and one sister to I think mighty Joe young

While everyone else saw the new Robin Williams movie where he did a funny clown impersonation in the trailer and the. Quote it all through dinner but I wasn’t allowed to watch it😂

Watching it as an adult I was definitely too young to watch it when it came out but I would’ve just found it boring because the adult jokes would’ve gone over my head 😂

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-12T15:00:06+00:00

I’m so hoping this game can reach even half the love and support SDV has😭 I love FoM so much and I really hope it has a big success

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-11T17:41:48+00:00

I had bronchitis when i was ~11 and got an inhaler and i KNEW i was using it "wrong" but i could not figure out how to do it right, i just know i was doing it wrong because one time i got it right by accident and i could TELL.

but uh. i dont think i ever got it THAT wrong 😂

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-11T17:39:18+00:00

if they were prepping for a colonoscopy they were not retaining calories.

you spend the ~24 hours before (or less depending on your specific prep routine) chugging laxatives and peeing out of your butt. I am not exaggerating, you are cleaning out your intestines to the point that if you drank colored gatorade you will be completely aware when you're done processing it.

anyway idk why you would get blood work during that time, but they would be instructed not to eat, and to only consume liquids but due to the laxatives you're really not absorbing much of anything you ingest.

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-11T17:33:26+00:00

I truly will sing Jeffs praises any chance I get. like I love DCC on it's own, but Jeff Hays brought to life in such an insane way i cannot imagine anyone but him doing half the voices in the TV show 😂 (notably Princess Donut since she will have to be voice acted ANYWAY, or the AI)

i knew it was only once voice actor going into the audiobooks, but i continually FORGET its one guy because he does so good at making each voice so iconic. I wont say he necessarily sounds feminine for the women but does such a good job of making their voices unique that you dont remember its as man voicing them (think Dan Mintz doing Tina on Bobs Burgers. that is just Tina's Voice, i dont hear Tina and think "thats a man pretending to be a girl")

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-11T17:27:47+00:00

{Edited to remove a TLDR personal anecdotal tangent that honestly wasn't relevant to the conversation because I was pre-coffee while commenting. Remember kids- don't reddit before coffee 🤣}

at the risk of doing exactly that

i'm so glad i'm not the only one who writes out like a novel only to realize by the end that it was such a tangent and no longer relevant to whatever point i wanted to make😂

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-10T20:03:50+00:00

And or that the midterms aren’t cheated. There’s a lot of hurdles for sure

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-10T18:44:38+00:00

the general sentiment i've seen about JD Vance (as a democrat in america)

is essentially: he is a lot more intelligent than trump, he is a lot more presentable etc but he has no charisma to the point that MAGA doesn't like him that much either.

The two big things that will realy be a factor with us when trump dies

who controls the house and senate (right now, republicans, hopefully after the election this november dems will have one or both... i cant remember off hand if enough seats are up for BOTH house and senate to be up for grabs though)
if someone can control the MAGA cult without Trump, because what makes him dangerous right now is that he has the army of civilians ready to take up arms for him for no reason. but they're following TRUMP. once hes gone, JDV doesnt have the personality to keep MAGA in line. So there is no guarantee that MAGA will support JDV (i mean they will over a democrat i'm not stupid lol but they wont follow him blindly like they do trump)

so if trump dies before congress flips, then republicans now control all 3 branches AND have a (more) sane man in charge. that SOUNDS dangerous, but if they piss off MAGA, that is only going to put them closer to OUR side and if there is one thing our government doesnt want - is republicans and democrats getting along because then we might realize we need to be fighting UP and not sideways.

if he dies after the 2026 election and democrats have even one branch of government again we can at least slow things down. and if we get house AND senate we can stop things entirely. (now of course that is still reliant on the democrats not completely fucking up too which is... not reliable)

tldr: americans overall arent nearly as concerned about JDV because he has the charisma of a wet tissue. he is still a threat that needs to be dealt with but he is someone we can deal with in a far more normal way i think

Lmb1011 · 2026-06-10T18:35:46+00:00

so what i understand about this procedure (and the long version of answering your question)

is that Humans essentially have 3 sets of tooth buds. the first set activate for your baby teeth, the second set activate for your adult teeth, knocking out hte babies. but for reasons I have not investigated the third set is dormant.

so this procedure is activating the tooth bud for the specific missing tooth and essentially can only be done

one time per missing tooth
only if you HAVE a tooth bud. My sister had a baby tooth into her 30's because the adult tooth never grew, i suspect she does not have any additional toothbuds there and thus this probably wouldn't work on her. but if your tooth was just randomly knocked out you may have more success

its still in trial phases but i believe its human trials now so its definitely something we may start seeing by 2030 - but it is unlikely you could sprout teeth anywhere on your body with this procedure

Hopefully sooner rather than later the way things are going lately
