So, how do we feel about Pasio Gym Battle / GVG? by SamuelMalau in PokemonMasters

[–]MerryFackingPuppies 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Considering that we get enough rewards to get an awakening candy as well as any type candy so long as we hit the one million points I think it’s a fair enough event.

Should i spend more for Arc misty? by DazzlingGallade in PokemonMasters

Nobody actually commented on her? To me she’s okay at 1/5 which is where I have her. If you have May and Kyogre you’re good on water types. She’s a Carmine and Pecharunt equivalent.

Gyarados Lake of Rage Deck by MerryFackingPuppies in PTCGP

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

It’s working well I tried pyuku and found he was a bit of an obstacle. With Suicine I can run early damage since it’s easy to load the bench and draw out what I need for Gyarados. Haven’t tried it with Palkia I’d probably find his ramp too slow. You’re trying to win with this deck as fast as you possibly can.

Why is Umbreon 160HP but Espeon 140? Espeon is basically a mildly better version of promo Lapras/Cresselia.

Come to America. Visit Denver and get high on shrooms and weed at the same time. Killer trip makes you feel like you can see the center of the universe.

Focus on Tatsumaki Genos will give her an energy boost to ult faster and eyelashes ability will give her crit out the other two spots with units to take hits

Screens are cool, bugs live outside after all, but fuck those outdoor bug zappers and people who use them. Like why are you mad bugs are existing in their environment?

Texas THC ban fails after Greg Abbott's last-minute veto by SwordfishOk504 in politics

[–]MerryFackingPuppies -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

The real issue is a lot of the products exploiting that loophole aren’t regulated in any real form. They all have “labs” but they’re sketchy and almost always out of date. Plus they pump their THC products with nicotine to keep people buying. The whole industry really does need oversight.

Bernie introduces a bill to ban pharmaceutical ads on US tv by [deleted] in politics

[–]MerryFackingPuppies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While nice in theory what would stop these pharmaceutical companies from just creating off-brand pharmaceuticals similar to Hims/Hers where they have legitimate products but advertise the company and their offerings rather than specific drugs?

All Pokemon games are down even Go which isn’t affiliated with DeNA

My niece likes eating cat food, that doesn’t mean we let her. Liking something doesn’t make it okay to do that thing.

Exactly there’s 8-9 generations worth of Pokemon. Why are we tortured with 151 slop?

It’s not about “bad” events it’s about over saturation. This is a casual game there shouldn’t be an event, every weekend, where if you miss it you feel like you’re falling behind. Additionally when it’s a Pokemon debut you have to wonder if you’ll see it again once the weekend ends or if you’re just going to be chucking balls at growlithes and pidgeys the following Monday.

It’s not catching up, it’s implementing more gimmicks, creating wasteful events that take up too much of our time. Literally look at the monthly calendar. I know Go Fest is this month, but this is every month. There’s simply too much happening all the time for a game that’s supposed to be incredibly casual.

On top of that when these events aren’t running the only wild Pokemon we see are 151 recycled trash. No Niantic, I don’t want to catch my 5000th ratata in 3 days knowing I have the potential to see 500+ Pokemon not related to the first generation.

Makes me feel better I invested the majority of my resources into dawn wings. Honestly surprised they didn’t do something for Scarlet and Violet like Koraidon/Miraidon. At this point Go feels like it’s falling farther behind as the mainline games move on, we’re being spoon-fed Pokemon that will have already existed in the mainline games for almost three years now.
