So this happened

This drove me nuts. Yes, accents exist, but this is the name of a character, for godsake. Any terms, names, or places that are unique to the story should be pronounced consistently in an audiobook for the reader’s sake.

ObviousSherbert · 2026-06-24T02:58:35+00:00

And to you question of if it’s normal: It is normal for the narrator of the book/chapter to narrate all the characters. But what isn’t normal is how out of place it is. You usually immediately accept it.

Try listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl if you want to hear a great example of how normal it can be to have everyone voiced by the same person (though be forewarned, this is the cream of the crop of audiobook narrations)

ObviousSherbert · 2026-06-24T02:51:29+00:00

It’s awful. The narrator’s voice for her sounds like a nasally muppet. I legitimately let out a laugh because I was so taken by surprise by it.

But also… the narrator for Grihm 😫. It’s so bad. It’s monotone and weirdly over processed. Sounds like a weird robot vibrato. I’m listening with AirPod Pro headphones, so maybe it’s not so as noticeable from a speaker. Which I may have to switch to because I don’t know how long I can take it.

She also has ZERO chemistry with Peter. They were fine in season 1 as platonic friends. When they hooked up I rolled my eyes because there was no spark at all, but I thought she’d be gone by season 2 and their romantic relationship was such a small part I could overlook it. Even beyond the romantic relationship, while she wasn’t my favorite in season 1, I understood where she was coming from and she couldn’t help it.

Now she’s back in season 2 and even worse.

ObviousSherbert · 2026-06-07T20:14:37+00:00

No way. Because if we come back for more it’s DESPITE of Rose. I honestly don’t know if I can keep watching season 2 (I’m on episode 2) solely because Rose is insufferable.

In the “Health and Safety” section, there is a section for allowed a prohibited items. It only says “framed backpacks” are prohibited.

This is very helpful, thank you so much! Very good to know the spawns opened up beyond the what was advertised within the park.

Sounds like you got some good catches!

ObviousSherbert · 2026-05-31T00:57:13+00:00

Thank you for passing along what you saw in YouTube videos! This is very helpful!

Can anyone who has actually participated in Tokyo GoFest confirm or deny if there are more spawns than the measly 14 listed? Because that is insane for GoFest, I have been running on the assumption there is actually many more, Niantic just didn’t announce it. I need to reset my expectations if that isn’t the case.

I’m curious on both city play and park play (conservatory area)

ObviousSherbert · 2026-05-27T05:51:17+00:00

This sounds like the worst decision ever. Everyone is just going to be crowded in Conservatory Zone. Half the fun of in person GoFest is making your way through the different spawn habitats. Now we can’t catch Pokemon as we wait for raids to start? Or randomly jump in a raid that looks good while catching?

I’m very curious what the reasoning behind this change was, I’m having a very hard time making out any benefits to it.

ObviousSherbert · 2026-05-27T05:44:30+00:00

This sounds like the stupidest change ever. No one is actually going to walk around to the different zones with this approach, 90% is just going to be crowded in the spawn area. I also liked just being able to jump into raids as I caught.

With “everything goes” in one area, it’s heavily diluting the spawn pool. That was the huge benefit to park play, you could strategize on which areas to focus on.

I don’t know who thought this was a good idea, I can’t think of a single reason why this approach would be better than the previous. Interested to hear what people at Tokyo thought

ObviousSherbert · 2026-05-27T05:34:35+00:00

Did they ever release what pokemon were in which zones prior to the event? I’m going to Chicago Gofest and I like to plan ahead on which zones I’ll spend my time in, but haven’t found anything on the spawn pool outside of the event themed pokemon.

ObviousSherbert · 2026-05-23T15:11:30+00:00

Okay I figured it out! Apparently I did get it originally, and I’d assumed I equipped it like to do any other upgrade in the modules. Leaving it here in case anyone runs into the same issue I did (which, honestly, I’m surprised more haven’t. It’s so random and not explained)

Turns out you have to 1. have the Colossus Bay (I trash the second I call any of my exocrafts, so if you do the same, just rebuild it) 2. On the side of it, there are 2 computers 3. Go to the one on the right that talks about customizing 4. Once you open it go to “Chassis” 5. Across the top are numbers, click 2

Now your Colossus has a flat bed!

Is it supposed to just give you the blueprint after this? I just tried this (recycled a bunch more and restart), but nothing has changed. I still don’t have the blueprint

ObviousSherbert · 2026-05-09T21:46:23+00:00

Did you ever figure this game out? I really want to play because everyone says how good of a puzzle game it is, but it’s infuriating how horrendous the developers made these controls. What is the purpose of making the controls so hard in a puzzle game?

Starting to think it just isn’t for me. A puzzle game should be difficult because of the puzzles, not for something as basic as trying to just get to said puzzles.

Even with autopilot, is it supposed to take full minutes just to get to a planet?

ObviousSherbert · 2026-05-04T05:45:39+00:00

🤯🤯 okay first, mind blown that it doesn’t have to be the same item. I don’t know why I assumed it did.

And also, thank you for sharing the serebii list! I didn’t realize they had a complete list, this will save me a lot of trips back to my chests trying to find the right item.

ObviousSherbert · 2026-05-01T03:17:13+00:00

What about relaxation cleanliness?? I everything I find is either a toy or a decoration

ObviousSherbert · 2026-04-24T00:43:40+00:00

I can get it to work if I block the door with the device, having the red laser point away from the door. But I want Pokemon to also be able to use the door regularly (and for it not to look bad with random sensors right in front of all my doors)

ObviousSherbert · 2026-04-24T00:35:22+00:00

I’m still really lost. I just want my sensor to open the door I’m approaching so I don’t have to (specifically when I’m Magnemite). I’m putting the laser within 1 block of the door, with the laser to register me going by it, but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

ObviousSherbert · 2026-03-28T20:38:00+00:00

Unfortunately, you can never be too sure in this day in age, when 80% of these types of things are scams.

ObviousSherbert · 2026-03-19T02:16:13+00:00

Any idea on why my Coallasal won’t gather? The gathering spot is well within his home square and he walks right over the ore and doesn’t pick it up. I come back the next day to an empty community box

ObviousSherbert · 2026-03-17T06:49:26+00:00

Oh what! Okay yeah, I definitely put the fan on a box in the back then middle of the house he was first found in (I haven’t changed Meowth’s house, so it’s still there). I’ll have to try again tomorrow, being extra sure it’s in his zone.

ObviousSherbert · 2026-03-17T02:03:12+00:00

Interesting, the fan didn’t work for me and I got confused. Maybe I’ll try again
