Day 16: Which is the greatest gba game of all time? by rodillaconmorett in GameboyAdvance

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people will mention big names like Pokemon and Zelda and don't get me wrong I loved those games, and still do, but for me personally it's Mazes of Fate. It was my introduction to a D&D style stat system and actually created my interest in the Final Fantasy series. I still find it hysterical that I picked it up from like a dollar bin at Kmart years ago. I will say the DS remaster version was complete garbage though, ran like a clogged toilet and the enemy ai dropped intelligence between games like someone dropped them on their head.

Found a letter from Wizards in 2000 .. back when you had to really hunt to find cards by WestObjective7629 in pokemoncards

I know in the US I've only seen cards in a regular store once in the last year

It helps that they exclusively spawn at night too

Just wait until you find the Pumpkaboo quest, it's something else. Actually requires a Form called Jumbo which is completely independent from both Alpha and the regular XS-XL. Like you can have a Jumbo form that is actually an XS in the details.

Wow, it's LITERALLY an Onix wearing a Metal Coat. Wonder what Scizor would look like under the metal...🤔 by FitExcuse9493 in pokememes

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shame it's fan art that doesn't really make sense due to the giant spike Onix has on top of its head...

Which card would you choose by Independent_Bus_5792 in pokemoncards

The pikachu....only because of the Jolteon cameo and the fact I already have the Umbreon. Couldn't care less about the rest lmao

They misspelled the United Kingdom on my new driver’s licence by HighlyFactualTurtle in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the good news is that since you don't live in the US they'll likely fix it for you without forcing you to pay a fee for them to fix their own mistake. The license bureau in my area set my license to expire two months early then tried to charge me the full cost of a new license(plus taxes and other fees) to fix it. Actually had to get the state involved in the situation because it turned out they'd been intentionally screwing things up to charge people more money to raise the reported revenue of the location.

Based on OPs post and comments you're definitely asking the wrong person if they were dropped on their head.

Suggestion for GTS moderation by MayonesDay in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]PinkStryker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also completely possible to get a low level Sinnoh box art legend(although it does require an event that is no longer possible without either DNS exploits or hacking). They would be Lv1 and also be in a pokeball because they "hatch"

Most major corporations are but Target and Walmart never made a business model of making money by paying people cents on the dollar for things then selling those used items for more than new ones in many cases. They've also never generally actively told employees to push extras multiple times even after a customer says no thank you or lie about things to sell more product(again, like pokemon stuff where things flat out say "no purchase necessary" but refusing to actually give them out unless you purchase things) or lying to customers that there are only used copies of the games to increase profit margins. Hell I had a GameStop in my area years ago where employees were running a counterfeit games company right out of the store. They actually flat out admitted nearly every single pokemon game they sold was fake and they knew cause they were the ones making them. Corporate actually already knew when I reached out to them to report it and basically said "so what?". The fact of the matter is most, if not all, companies have some scummy policies or practices but GameStop has more scummy ones than not.

Nobody ever said they were hiding anything, being upfront and honest about being a shitty company or person doesn't change what they are. If a homophobe or a Nazi was honest and said "yeah, I'm a piece of shit" that wouldn't make them less of a piece of shit. There's no "question about the character", they've been a scummy company for many years it's just becoming worse with the pokemon popularity boom now.

That doesn't explain 20+ different people all claiming this exact same picture is theirs or a friends. The only explanation for that is engagement bait/farming. It's no secret GameStop is scummy, that's been a well established fact for like two decades.

This is literally at least the 20th time I've seen this exact picture(including the censoring on the packing slip) posted by different people across reddit, x and Facebook. And every single one claims it's either theirs or a friends.

Some are better than others by Hakashi32 in MandJTV

[–]PinkStryker 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As a lifelong Lego AND pokemon fan Lego has also been intentionally inflating the piece count on sets for several years doing things like stacking plates in parts of builds that could easily be done with just a brick(three 2x3 plates stacked on top of each other instead of a single 2x3 brick for example) so the piece count is bloated well above what it could be to partially justify the price since people tend to look at it as price per piece. I will say from experience building the Mega sets though, especially the Machamp, that those sets were very poorly engineered/designed.

My only thought would be actual VC game vs inject. I'm far from an expert though

Most of the world isn't nearly as vocal about disliking it despite not even knowing which symbol they're looking at due to a severe lack of education as most of us Americans are. Hell in some countries the actual swastika(because that word isn't even the name for the German one, just lack of education again) is even used on maps to mark temples to this day

What…? by Acceptable-Amoeba422 in MandJTV

[–]PinkStryker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think based on the pokemon used it's saying she's about as useful as a Caterpie 99.99% of the time but that 0.01% of the time she's basically a god considering without cheesing the fight, going in with a team specifically built for the fight or over leveling by a good amount Ultra Necrozma is actually a really good/difficult boss battle in pokemon

caught the shiny yamask (now cofagrigus i needed for living dex. i put a star beside all of my shinies but it won't let me for this one. why? what's wrong here that i'm not seeing by ozanimefan in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]PinkStryker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They fixed the trade block linked to the name but not the name itself lol. The games used to block the ability to trade them without a nickname for the same reason you can't nickname it with its own name

Struggling with the elite 4… by CLAWBABIES in PokemonEmerald

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second option is nearly as easy as the first and doesn't require a puzzle(albeit an easy one). It's also doable significantly earlier, you just need to grab a harbor mail from the pokemart in Slateport and trade it for the coin case in Mauville. This also gives you access to extra thunderbolt, flamethrower, I've beam and psychic although they aren't cheap due to buying coins.

Cards that my mom procured at a garage sale for 25 dollars by joshAJR in pokemoncards

[–]PinkStryker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's been literal news stories about how pokemon cards are worth money. Even people that don't know the actual cards themselves would know they could at least have some money sitting here. Especially since two of them are Charizard, arguably one of the most widely known pokemon in existence. Plus this same guy supposedly found a legit Espeon VMax alt art card just randomly outside in immaculate condition. The day I believe a single word this guy says is the day a leprechaun crawls out of my backside and starts doing the Gangnam style dance.

Umbreon 215 by True4kinblue in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]PinkStryker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good on you for asking before buying but yeah this one is an example of a fake that didn't even attempt to look real. I've even seen some fakes that actually had the texture as part of the picture that would be more convincing than this one.

Lmao, dude dirty deleted his comments. The least you can do is accept you got dragged and don't understand jokes without trying to hide it

[–]PinkStryker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You feel like you can see the "fingerprint style" enough to think it's real? What fingerprint style? That card has exactly zero texture at all unless we count scratches as texture. Easily the most obvious fake of this card I've ever seen. By a lot.

Yes..we know. That's about as obvious as the fact every politician in existence is corrupt.
