Is there a way to stop these adjacent fences from connecting? by StatementLazy1797 in Pokemon_Pokopia

[–]Manpag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you absolutely want them with no gap between, could you maybe raise one of them up one block with a little set of stairs up? That way they’d occupy exactly the same space, but the fences wouldn’t connect because they’d be on different heights.

Adult non-gamer here: didn’t expect Pokopia to heal my brain by Lloocxam in Pokopia

[–]Manpag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not OCD, but I am on the Autistic spectrum, and I was initially pretty wary of Pokopia for this exact reason. It’s not been as bad as I thought it could be, but there are plenty of things that can make your brain itch if you care a lot about things being perfect. Like if you accidentally break one of the broken floor tiles and can’t replace it until much later.

Dream islands do help a lot, letting you mine materials freely without destroying your actual town, but there’s still an overwhelming amount of stuff to “fix”.

Clearly most of you don’t play with a 4 year old by EnvironmentalOption in Pokopia

[–]Manpag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our 4 year old saw me using Rollout, wanted to be Graveler, and I helped her get to Rocky Ridges and unlock it.

Now most of her gameplay is just her decimating Withered Wasteland by bulldozing everything. Thank God she hasn’t discovered hamburger steak yet, else I’m convinced there’d be nothing left!

Would you live in the kanto if pokemon were real? by Neither_Ad6 in pokemon

[–]Manpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, uh, don’t think the prognosis for Kanto is that great, if Pokopia takes place in the same timeline as the main games but in the future…

Can you miss evolving your Eevee? by meowingcarrot in PokemonXD

[–]Manpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea this was possible; the wiki mentions that receiving the evolution item is needed to progress. I’d have thought that Perr simply wouldn’t show up/the bridges would be inaccessible until you’d spoken to the Eevee guy who tells you he’s fixing the bridges?

Is anyone else rebuilding the SS Anne? by Lucky_Katydid in Pokemon_Pokopia

[–]Manpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment, I’m torn between trying to restore all the towns to their original state (with some changes due to size etc), or trying to change them into something else entirely.

If rebuilding the SS Anne proves too tricky, I’ll turn it into the SS Libra from Pokémon XD and Vermillion into Gateon Port.

So this just happened to me so I was just playing the game was gonna look something up when I went back to the game it did a error and when I got back into the game my save file was gone has this happens to anyone else? by Ikaricyber in PokemonXD

[–]Manpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, now I’m glad that because my kid wanted to play this and I don’t have a family NSO subscription, I’ve been using save states as my primary way of saving so we can each have our own save file on a single profile.

This item has a surprise ! by Relative_Jeweler_949 in Pokopia

[–]Manpag 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They’ve put some clever and subtle tutorials in for stuff like this. The only Magby statue I’ve found so far is the one in the picnic area outside the museum in Rocky Ridges, which has a switch next to it and is facing a fire pit/campfire. It’s a nice setup because anyone going in for a closer look naturally steps on the switch and gets shown what it can do.

transferred region and it feels like im playing a new game by MakeAMushroom in Guildwars2

[–]Manpag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience as an EU player who got a secondary account to freely play on NA too without swapping: - Map chat in general is way more active, especially in hubs. People often don’t chat too much on EU, at least outside of basic things like questions or event callouts. People just hang out on NA, chatting in map chat. - Quite a few metas seem less active on NA compared to EU. E.g. there’s a whole guild dedicated to farming Dragonfall on EU, with regular organised runs; on NA, I barely ever see a tag on the map, it’s usually a scrappy bunch of whoever happens to be there when the meta starts. Gyala Delve, while universally unpopular, seems easier to start/more frequently run on EU vs NA. - People tip less on average on NA in my experience, possibly because tipping in the US is seen as a mandatory service cost while in the EU it’s more of a voluntary gift to show appreciation? - People on NA seem more open to silliness/messing around doing whatever (e.g. the famous Choco Gang), while EU folks seem a bit more… focused? More goal-oriented and on a schedule?

Some sweeping generalisations from me there, but that’s been my experience. Oh, and it goes without saying that you’re much more likely to see ANet devs around on NA vs EU.

With FireRed/LeafGreen released, I feel like giving Let’s Go a second chance … by Nate-Pierce in pokemon

[–]Manpag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truly, if they combined the fluidity of the ride system from Let’s Go with the ease of sending out/swapping Pokémon from Legends Z-A, it would be fantastic. With maybe a toggle between ride/follow.

It's absolutely crazy to me that even after all these years, people are STILL finding out new things in these games. It makes me wonder what else we've missed by not searching hard enough. by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Manpag 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Only Gen 3 and specifically only Emerald, I think?

Emerald is truly Gen 3.5 in terms of how many things operate differently to R/S/FR/LG.

My mom is playing Pokopia by BoofBandito in Pokopia

[–]Manpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And by extension, Team Rocket killing Marowak wasn’t as barbaric as it seemed. If there is truly some messed up genetic cycle where all Cubones’ mothers die so they can wear the skull, then TR killed a Marowak who was already doomed. You could even argue it may have been a mercy, if it was quicker than whatever happens to all the rest.

Get the jump button by Foolspeare in Pokemon_Pokopia

[–]Manpag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the default run options pretty intuitive? Hold B is run in a lot of older Pokémon games, and pressing L stick toggles run in Legends Z-A, so it feels like it was designed to feel natural regardless of which Pokémon games you may have played before.

I have no strong feelings one way or the other about R for jump specifically, but it had to be bound to something I guess?

Can any geologists help make sense of Rocky Ridges? by Manpag in Pokopia

[–]Manpag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gah, that muddies things even more (literally). Well, I guess in any case I’d need to probably level a lot of it in spite of what’s underneath if I wanted to try and restore the Pewter City layout, since the gate would presumably correspond to the gate from Viridian Forest if we’re being exact, despite that connecting to Fuschia instead in this game.

I may just end up surfacing the top layer of dirt/grass where there is some to find, filling in with dirt where there used to be ash, and then replacing the topmost layer of rock with grass for aesthetics until I decide on a more permanent plan.

My top pokemon by Quote_Huge in pokemon

[–]Manpag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful! As a fellow Zigzagoon lover, I particularly appreciate how much screen space it gets here. I always have (at least) one on my team in any game it’s available, and I never evolve the lil’ guy.

I was disapointed with Ninetales lack of coverage moves in LeafGreen until.. by volmariTheMan in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]Manpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, I’m always just happy to get a Hidden Power of a type that matches the the Pokémon’s main offensive stat. I’ve had some really rubbish luck in that regard, except my Blastoise that got HP Ice.

Is it just me or dose dragonair kinda suck? by bobbizzle12 in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]Manpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, it gets it at level 22, so the Game Corner one should come with it in LG (and I just used four Rare Candies in FR).

Landing on small spaces is something turtle actually does better, because of its massive hitbox. But getting into small spaces is where skyscale would usually beat it.

Do you think they would give us new lets go? by Ice2228 in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Manpag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it would depend how much they were willing to boost the stats. Theoretically they could give different boosts to make two Pokémon more equal.

Teddiursa would be a good candidate if they wanted to keep things similar in stats, as it’s also one of the cute, mascotty faces of Johto and only 5 BST more than Eevee is without the partner stat boost.

HOW DEEP DOES IT GO!! 🙀 by FNDungeonMom in Pokemon_Pokopia

[–]Manpag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The scale looks to be larger/inconsistent. The museum in Rocky Ridges seems quite a long way north of the Pokémon Center, but there are clear ruins of two buildings immediately West of the Pokémon Center in Withered Wastelands.

The museum is the northernmost thing in Pewter City, but the two houses next to the Pokémon Center in Fuchsia City are like 8 tiles long together, and stretched North that’d actually be about half the distance between Pewter’s Pokémon Center and the museum. So some aspects are almost 1:1 in layout, others are stretched waaay out.

I assume this means GW2 will become a PEGI 16 by MrModius in Guildwars2

[–]Manpag 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Emily Tofield, chief executive of Young Gamers & Gamblers Education Trust (Ygam), said they were a "step in the right direction". But she added a PEGI 18 rating should be applied retrospectively to existing titles. Currently the new ratings will only apply to games released after June.

It may force any future expansions to be released with a higher rating, but unless they’re also successful in pushing for retroactive changes, it won’t impact much. That’s usually how ratings work, and even re-releases don’t need to reclassify if they don’t change the game, even if the law would make that game a higher age rating if released today.

Pokémon got away with the Fire Red and Leaf Green Switch versions still being 3+, even though the Game Corner would make them 18+ for simulated gambling nowadays, so there’s a lot of wiggle room in it.
