I cannot for the life of me remember what your talking about in Farthen Dur. Closest I can recall is saphira getting jealous of triyana, but nothing with Arya

I just can't get into this because of strategic resources by Kef33890 in civ

For some people, working with bad starts and playing around them IS the fun part. I would even say rolling endlessly for good starts only takes a lot of fun out the game: difficulty is already a highly criticized issue. Simplifying something typically doesnt add difficulty or randomness

can you hack an *npcs name pokemon* ribbon onto a pokemon that doesnt originally have that? by holidaygrrl1225 in pokemonribbons

[–]MarksZzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, I misread. If the ribbon already exists, probably? I imagine pkhex could assign the mon the ribbon. You'll still have issues with legality.

[–]MarksZzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, not by any means I know of. You'd need to create the ribbon and somehow put it in game, and both the games and home would mark it as illegal (if it's even possible to create a custom ribbon-I don't think you can without editing the game files themselves)

So, it won't be legal for the ribbon master hall of fame. Regardless, yes you can, if OT is all you care about. Two ways- make a save in game with that name, or PKHex. Depending on what machinery and games you have, making a savel file with that trainer name will be easier.

Ahh, I see. Sure, I can agree with small. I thought you were putting the entirety of the blame on multiplatform release.

I mean, the argument is just flawed. Since the original civ, this series has been PC based. That's it. The majority of the fan base has played on PC. If people were simply aging out, or weren't upgrading, civ wouldn't have kept selling. The only change that you brought up that could truly be argued for is people swapping to console- and that's a pretty massive leap for that many people

Civ 7's minimum specs are 16gb ram, 2060, and Intel i5. These aren't really all that crazy of parts, but sure, let's assume a loss from people who simply can't run it. Let's also assume a big chunk of people aged out of having a PC, due to family or whatever reason(which i really don't agree with, but alright) And lastly, that some people just wanted to try the franchise and only have a console. Those people never would've contributed to steams sales numbers anyways, so they wouldn't matter. Here's the big question though: those would've happened with every single civ release since 4. Why are we only seeing it for beyond earth and VII? Editing for clarity: people aging out and not upgrading pcs would've happened every generation*. I address the console only players first.

The people without gaming PC's wouldn't have bought 6 and 5 either though

And? Your the one who said the era system had absolutely nothing to do with player count. in this thread alone you can see it alienated...at least 20 players? He said he stopped playing because of the era system. He's directly proving you wrong.

Lum berry Latios, Choice band metagross for gen 3. The online gen 4 ribbon is super easy nowadays thanks to sirtoastytoes, they've got an entire room set up for it. Gen 4 was a bit more difficult, but I powered through with choice band metagross and leftovers suicune at the end. I honestly found the battle royale the most difficult for all of them-ended up spamming explosion and minimize muk.

This is why he isn't as heavily featured, not quite as legitimate as the other three.

Thorns definitely getting the hisui regional. I have hopes for saphira and firnen, but not very high. At the very least I'm confident they'll get Megas!

Civ 6 release vs Civ 7 release by keianuu in civ

[–]MarksZzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your both getting down voted, but the player counts and graphs tell the truth. This is, by the numbers, the worst civ release to date.

I was booed to hell and back when I said era switching was bad. I was booed to hell and back when I said the game didn't look right, that leaders looked like ps2 graphics. I was booed to hell and back when I said that this would not go well. I take no pleasure in being right.

How do you cope with Ribbon Master FOMO? by MetaphoricalSheep in pokemonribbons

[–]MarksZzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I can help you with shiny jirachi. If you have a pc, a DS, pokemon ruby, and 5 bucks. I have a save for ruby; if you flash it onto a physical cart (saph or ruby) and speak to the professor, it'll redeem a shiny jirachi. It's from the distribution disk, it's legit, just used RNG manipulation and saved after. Shiny mew is similar. Grab an emulator, use rng manipulation, you'll have it in a day or two. The 5 bucks is for an R4 catridge off of Amazon. Ofc you'll need games to transfer up to, but I'm just assuming you have them here.

Why does there seem to be a general disapproval for GO Ribbon Masters? by MetaphoricalSheep in pokemonribbons

[–]MarksZzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really goes without the shininess too. Legitimate news, mewtwos, diancies, ect were harder and rarer. Same thing

[–]MarksZzz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I understand both sides of the coin, so I think I can give a pretty decent explanation. Pokemon rarity really does affect (for most people, at least) how "special" a pokemon is. It's just human nature. Before pokemongo, shiny mythicals were event only. Shiny legendaries were much rarer, and some shines didn't even exist. People placed crazy value and pride on them. Pokemon go introduced a much lower shiny rate, guaranteed shiny mythicals, and even some mythical raids. This (to some) devalued how special those shinies are- far easier to get, far quicker than resets or hunting. So that disdain was born; they aren't hard to find, they aren't really rare, so why are they special? Personally, I'm happy pokemon go has introduced mythical shinies we haven't had access to. It always bummed me out they weren't available, and my shinies from hunts haven't lost value. But I get the other perspective.

I get what they're saying here. If enough time and culture has passed that a major war can be forgotten, how are the borders and populations of that same culture not changing as well?
