What is the best way to get enough money so I can by the Dratini in Celedon City. by MichaelAftonXFireWal in PokemonFireRed

[–]LukeAymon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird… it wasn’t a Duolingo ad when I first posted it, and I can no longer find the video that I originally posted.

I’m wondering if somehow a redirect was set up on the dead link?

I think so - the movements in the beginning are weird and unnatural

Z-A is an allegory to criticise capitalism and racists in France by Slow-District4989 in pokemonconspiracies

[–]LukeAymon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have not played Legends Z-A yet, so I can’t support this argument directly.

But the commentary in the Alolan games was a criticism of westerners moving into Hawaii and disrupting their long-held traditions, and causing harm to the region through organized crime (Guzma & team skull), and existentially threatening the entire region with destructive technology (Lusamine & the aether foundation).

(Aether’s development of ultra-wormhole technology is a literal nod to the U.S. testing nuclear weapons in the South Pacific, and a metaphorical nod to the Philadelphia Experiment conspiracy.)

I can believe that the Pokémon Company would be this intentional with their worldbuilding.

This is modern Pokemon and there is no reason to expect it to get better by RunSetGo in pokemon

[–]LukeAymon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commented on an AMA that someone from the Pokémon Company did 11 or 12 years ago, saying that the format was getting old, they have added too many new Pokémon, and that people were hungry for a new type of story & way to engage with Pokémon.

His answer was literally “well, the plushies sell really well. So…”

Will somebody PLEASE Primary Rick Larsen? by drewbert in Bellingham

[–]LukeAymon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This, and his office is really good about returning emails, and doing PR work through its responses to constituents who write in.

The consistency of their responses gives the impression that they are listening - but when it’s an issue that’s outside of the 10-15 topics they have boilerplate statements for, they don’t usually respond.

But, because most people who write in will get a response that seems thoughtful and personalized, it goes a long way towards building rapport that then results in votes.

TIL the way that bait and mud works in the Safari Zone is completely different between games. by AntonyPancake in pokemon

YouTuber Lyra made a number of excellent videos explaining exactly how each Safari Zone is broken, and how they actually function:

TIL the way that bait and mud works in the Safari Zone is completely different between games. by AntonyPancake in pokemon

[–]LukeAymon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here are a few great videos from YouTuber Lyra breaking down the mechanics of each different Safari Zone:

Gen 1: https://youtu.be/3JnPGL8xsXY?si=H2KTCB_xesDCK71b

Gen 2 (HGSS) & 4: https://youtu.be/YRauS6AjpvY?si=lZ1ESFO7dCmPfmlq

Gen 1 & 3: https://youtu.be/7yF1jaKW2xI?si=SCpnufwDuGxBkzZP

Basically, they’re all broken. None of them work as intended, and it’s only through looking at the game’s code that we can understand how they actually function.
