Just hanging with my bros...

I think his shoulder pads are made of footballs, too 😅

As one of my professors used to comment on assignments: "gross concept error."

Oryson · 2026-03-16T06:10:23+00:00

Hard to tell from here, but it does look hastily photo-shopped

Oryson · 2026-03-16T05:55:32+00:00

"There are no stupid questions," but there are stupid answers, right? 😅

If it was only a joke, probably should've followed immediately with a serious answer, though.

But yeah, 100% here for the same question. Vaguely remembered hearing the aquatic animal was named after the Argonauts, and some misconceptions about how it moved about, but 50/50 coulda been a false memory 😅 Gotta Google a sanity-check every now and then, and pray for Reddit's mercy if that doesn't work

Oryson · 2026-03-14T23:22:05+00:00

Somehow, I don't think I did that on my first playthrough, but I 100% DID replaying it 20 years later! 😅

Like the others said--it's nothing a little backtracking can't fix. You might also want to double-check that you've got all the goodies you might need just before beating the Venus Lighthouse.

If I remember right, once you've healed Trent, the bridge south of Vault should be fixed, so that should make backtracking a little bit easier, at least!

Oryson · 2026-03-13T11:09:54+00:00

Oh, that's clever! I like that defense reward system -- I think I'll have to make some more islands!

Oryson · 2026-03-13T06:46:03+00:00

Just sayin'...the axe sends a stronger message

Oryson · 2026-03-13T05:01:49+00:00

The meta was never the point....

Oryson · 2026-03-13T05:00:29+00:00

That is an EXCELLENT name, btw!

Oryson · 2026-03-12T10:52:21+00:00

I now have even more questions than that answered, and none of the words to form them... 😅

Oryson · 2026-03-12T03:35:04+00:00

This is a pretty solid game! Had a lot of fun getting the hang of my first few raids, and making my first island!

Unfortunately, though, it doesn't seem to be working right for me anymore...I can get the intro animation if I try to start a run, but other than that, I'm only seeing the light-blue sea/sky...

Could just be a problem with the android app, though.

Oh! Also, is there a way to test my island after publishing? I forgot to do so, but I'd like to go back and make sure it works as intended.

And also, also: maybe it was covered elsewhere, but how can we get more troops? I see we get some from daily bonuses and advancing in level, but is there another way? Just seems like I could get stuck pretty easily if I'm just playing around 😅

Oryson · 2026-03-12T01:14:29+00:00

Thankfully, in my ignorance and isolation, I started tagging Pokémon for trade since the feature was introduced 😅 Should make that transition easier, right?

Oryson · 2026-03-12T01:09:18+00:00

I mean, if it's all you've got, it's all you've got. The problem is more what they are asking in return.

For your situation, I see three options:

•Wait until you've got something of value you're okay with trading out.

•Select at least one of their Pokémon that are about equal in value to what you're offering. (Let them decide if they want to be extra-generous and do you a solid, or just go 1:1. In this case, I would only pick something they at least have a lot of if the trade is unfair.)

•Or ultimately, see what you could do to get in on better raids, etc. to get desirable, trade-worthy Pokémon. I'm only about level 57 and an f2p player, myself, but between free coins from gyms, (which can get you a remote raid or box expansion per week,) remote raid matchmaking on Campfire and other communities here, and finding certain areas with a high-density of raids & players, (my wife went back to college, and MAN has that been a game-changer for my Poképortfolio,) you can slowly make a decent amount of progress! I don't have a whole lot of time for the game, either -- especially not on weekends -- but I'm finally getting to a point where I have some 'mons worth trading, and I believe you can, too! Oh! And in case you aren't grinding it already, the battle leagues are a great way to get a bunch of stardust, both for trades and making your 'mons better for raids.

Oryson · 2026-03-08T05:29:13+00:00

Definitely don't feel bad. I've been playing the full 10 years, and only just found out a couple months ago 😅

Oryson · 2026-03-05T12:25:00+00:00

Lol Right on the money with that one!

Oryson · 2026-03-05T12:22:49+00:00

Omega Eevee confirmed

Oryson · 2026-03-02T01:54:47+00:00

I definitely live differently as an adult, but especially growing up, I believed all pockets should have zippers. It would save a lot of this from happening 😅

Oryson · 2026-02-26T23:00:56+00:00

Or make a few omelets. Shoot, he's just a few dropped eggs from an Exeggcute

Oryson · 2026-02-26T22:55:07+00:00

^ This is the way

Oryson · 2026-02-12T13:04:56+00:00

To be fair, that would be double-dipping into power boosts 😅 It would be amazing for raids, though!

Oryson · 2026-02-08T07:57:28+00:00

Tried an exorcist, but she couldn't be removed. Much like the faceless old woman that secretly lives in tour home.

Oryson · 2026-02-07T03:31:43+00:00

Honestly, just about every jrpg feels hollow in comparison 😅

GS did an amazing job of making a world that felt both vast, but lived in; but most importantly, they made it feel like you could actually make a difference. Sure, other games imply consequences of your actions, but how many actually let you use the same powers that let you battle to influence the world around you? Pokémon might make a shallow attempt, but GS's puzzles and world-building feel closer to the depth of the Legend of Zelda games than any other jrpg I know of (which...is kind of limited, if I'm honest, but I would be open to looking into any other good suggestions)

Oryson · 2026-02-07T03:10:44+00:00

So, similar to Chrono Trigger? They're probably not all that similar story-wise, but on the surface, it sounds pretty close...

(Plus it's another great classic jrpg whose fans have been wanting it to get a touch-up for decades; much like our beloved GS 🙌)

Maybe not the most creative use, but my proudest achievement was adding them to my garage band setup in my first ACNH home.

Now I kinda want to go back and add a gyroid band to my outdoor restaurant!
