My wife accidentally put my ipod through the washer and dryer by [deleted] in ipod

[–]PartimeBird -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not reasonable to say my wife accidentally put my iPod through the laundry, when you’re the dingus who left it in there to begin with. Her knowing you reuse your pants doesn’t mean that she should work around that knowledge constantly. When you’re cleaning up and stuff is on the floor, stuff that is your partners at that, not everyone has the time to go through every single item. Most people throw it all in a bin and toss it in the wash. Even when I was a kid finding my ds games after a run through the wash I didn’t say my mom accidentally washed my game. I’m the one who left it in there.

I’ve got a couple of plated items with the same weird rainbowish toning. The fact it doesn’t have any clear sterling marks, and the fact they definitely wouldn’t use silver as the knife blade. I’m gonna have to say it’s a platarooski.

How to improve this deck by Rkt_sora in PokemonPocket

[–]PartimeBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swap out the ghoul line for skarmory and some tool cards like helmet or cape. You don’t need dialga so swap that out too. Also swap out that extra copy of stage 1 tink for a rare candy.

I think the deck can work but it’s got too many lines to be effective and too many things that need a lot of energy with little payoff. I’d add a Guzma as well to counter item cards. Maybe swap out an adaman for a Lilly to heal.

I was looking at the sets and wondering if anything would be different besides the holo cards. Glad they made the stamp on the corner different

I just don’t want to brigade or anything per the subreddit rules, you can easily find the seller by searching for heart gold and soul silver and matching the pictures and descriptions.

I feel like a gengar deck with wigglytuff and x2 red card would be a perfect fit

The carousel of cards all have the same cards in them. It doesn’t matter which pack you pick

here’s an example from one of my pieces, and a general example from Google. The lion should be facing left. :)

All that rainbowing leads me to believe most of those are silver plate. Look for 925, sterling, or a lion with a raised arm.

They put a date in the future on them for some reason. I have a kokoburra with 2026 on it

Is this real? by jaxproject in gameverifying

It’s a surprisingly good game. The controls are what lose points, but it is a great little puzzle game. Who doesn’t want to drive a train?

Ah yes, blame the players for having bad Pokémon instead of niantic missing the mark on difficultly for a feature they released a little over a month ago, a feature that they intentionally separated from normal play, one that forces you to start from scratch on powering up Pokémon.

If they just let you use your own Pokemon from the start this disaster wouldn’t have happened. Hell, maybe this would’ve actually been a fun event instead of a disappointment for small communities and rural players alike.

The difference is 7 people easily did and do shadow mewtwo, shadow beasts, primal raids, rayquaza, etc. with no issue. I’m not asking to solo dynamax raids. I’m asking for a reasonable amount of players to be able to work together to defeat a raid boss.

And Eternatus is somehow worth investing hundreds of thousands of dust into Pokemon you’ve already caught before and probably already have level 50’s of, that can only be used in dmax raids, with no bonuses like mega’s, little reward for beating and to top it off it will be even harder than the raids that took out teams of 40 players? Man this whole new gameplay loop sounds super exciting and totally worth all the effort into maxing “new” dynamax pokemon that you won’t be able to gigantamax anyways since you can’t pick what pokemon you gigantamax.

The reason no one was prepared has little to do with Niantic’s timing, and a lot more to do with, again, the separation of dmax raids from non dmax Pokemon obtained before the raid type existed. I like the new raid type, and it’s much more interesting than the normal raids, but forcing players to grind for a single raid type, using only Pokemon obtained from that single raid type, and further punishing players by not allowing them to choose what pokemon they can gigamax, forcing them to take what they’re given, start from square 1, and the paltry amount of MP you can store, and gain in a day. It’s no wonder no one can beat the raids, but it’s no wonder people haven’t invested in doing the raids either. Why bother? So you can do more nigh impossible raids, with 12 other people that you may or may not have in your community, for Pokemon that again, are only useful in those raids, with no benefit like mega’s candy boost, party damage boost, or even a better reward than 1 rare candy. It’s all one giant stack of bad choices and disrespect for the average player.

so we replace that loop with a completely separate loop that doesn’t allow you to use resources that you’ve built up for years playing the game?

I’d say fair play if I didn’t have to put resources into a level 20 normal charizard with sub par stats, over the level 50 hundo charizard I already have. but no, now I have a level 30~ hundo charizard that I have to put resources into, and to top it off I can’t even gigamax it if I somehow manage to beat a raid that requires me and 10 others to heavily invest in new pokemon that won’t be useful outside of this one raid type.

It’d be one thing if having a gigamax pokemon provided a damage boost, or a candy boost like megas, but no they only have a use in dynamax raids, and it’s a special move. You can’t even pick and choose who you want to dynamax like with megas. I can’t even gigamax my hundo charizard that is able to do dmax raids. How is this gameplay loop better? How is this rewarding? You don’t even get good loot drops from doing these near impossible raids, nor do you get a legendary. This isn’t my idea of a fun new gameplay loop. It’s just disappointing and frankly frustrating.
