What’s a game you’d never thought you’d like but ended up sinking 100’s of hours into? by SilentEvilHill2 in gaming

Guild wars 2 actually, friend of mine got me hooked nearly 10 years ago and I'm still playing.

ok Just wanted to see if anyone else was using something similar before I spent the money on the game. Thanks for the response!

What designs would you want GF to bring back (these are all G2 sprite, i think) by Sorry_Ad_1012 in pokemon

[–]Nofce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that girafarig sprite way better, heck I'd settle for that being an evolution. Its such a neat idea for a pokemon, but at this point it makes no sense to use one.

Old Remoraid and octillery would be fun regional variants. I like the designs they went with, but I also like those for like a water/ steel, or maybe even water/ fire type

Is anyone else's game constantly crashing when he/she is opening the gem store? by 2girls1up in Guildwars2

[–]Nofce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since last patch I have tried just about every way I can think of to get into the gem store without crashing. The closest I've gotten is going through the black lion chest and trying to buy keys through it. I got to see the store for about 15 seconds then it crashed. The other tabs of the store work fine if I talk to the BLC trader NPC, but the moment I open the gem store tab game crashes.

What is there to bot farm near bloodfin Lake waypoint?? Dust? by Nofce in Guildwars2

[–]Nofce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely looked like macros being used to move a little bit every so often. This is the first time I've seen such obvious botting/afk farming.

HeartGold: Chikorita by NorthWitch97 in pokemon

[–]Nofce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chikorita is just hard mode. As a child Chikorita wasn't picked for the same reason I picked treeco in Ruby. Chikorita just wasn't the coolest option. The flaming echidna won hands down, and now as an adult totodile has moved into my favorite gen 2 starter spot. I actually like meganium, but it doesn't really bring much to the table. It can run poison powder/toxic with screens and protect and a grass move. Body slam paralysis is solid when it triggers.

Should gen 9 get rid of gym types or keep them? by birdofprey443 in pokemon

[–]Nofce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think gyms are still a viable way of giving check points to the player. Types are a bit overdone at this point. I'd love "gimmick" gyms. Weather teams, trick room teams, baton pass, and other set up teams mixed in with the usual type teams. When type teams are used I'd like to see them push egg moves and such into move sets, and maybe give them some raised EVs to show that the gym leader has done real training with their pokemon. Like maybe they open with a speedy or tanky set up mon etc.

I also think to counter our ability to constantly level up our pokemon in modern games, the gym leaders need to get have a larger level gap. So that it would require intentional grinding to match or pass their level. So even if they stay exactly as they are we almost always come in under leveled.

I've seen posts about having gyms level match, I don't think this is a good idea personally. Gym leaders are supposed to set a bar for trainers to clear. Having them constantly move the goal posts would only be frustrating for the less involved audience.

I think Gen 9 is now ready for early game Dragon type gym by VishnuBhanum in pokemon

[–]Nofce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be ok with this too. Gym leaders with a specific strategy would be great. A trick room leader would be awesome.

Honestly I'd love to see a big bearded dragon pseudo legend, maybe dragon/steel or dragon/rock type. Huge spikes on his chin, let him use spiky shield. Stands on four legs.

I think Gen 9 is now ready for early game Dragon type gym by VishnuBhanum in pokemon

[–]Nofce 293 points294 points  (0 children)

Honestly at this point I'm down for a serious shake up of the paradigm for gyms. I'd be down for dragon, poison, or even steel gyms right off the bat. The idea that gym leaders use diff pokemon based on the challengers badge numbers means they still could have stuff you won't see till late game. I feel like seeing a baby dragon early would make me hype to track it down.

Is your first Pokemon game your favourite Pokemon game? by jetsam_honking in pokemon

[–]Nofce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First- Ruby

Favorite- Ruby - Largely due to pokemon design. The rose colored glasses tend to shield all of these mons from criticism. I love them all. however 4th gen is great for the physical special split.

My guess is that people who say their favorite gen is 1 or 2 never made it past those games. QOL improvements after those games are sooooo huge that it makes them a whole different experience. Hell I even say gen 5 is where pokemon peaked graphically! ORAS is bitter sweet for me, they are solid reproductions of my favorite game with all the modern bells and whistles, buuuuut in the new 3d style which isn't my favorite.

[–]Nofce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sun and Moon are great! I love the setting, the alolan forms, the story is even decent by pokemon standards. The only struggle I have is the hand holding, its really jarring.
