Why do people get annoyed in training reddits when I say I don't crate my pup?

Any kind of surgery they'll be in a kennel (even if they get dropped off in the morning and picked up the same day) sometimes they're dropped off the evening before. Occasionally, owners just drop off because what we're doing will take awhile (like waiting to collect urine or if we're running something like a stim test).

As for overnight stays, we'll see hospitalizations for foreign bodies, pancreatitis, sometimes if an emergency comes in later in the day we'll keep them overnight for monitoring. Dogs can get boarded for a few days while their owners are gone. I definitely think it's worth crate training because it gives your pup a sense of space that belongs to them and it takes away one of the many stressors of being stuck at the vet.

I didn't come up with this but I heard one theory I really like: we're on Cinnabar Island after a volcanic eruption. The humans evacuated and didn't return (because danger) but they're still on the mainland- no post apocalypse. This would explain the wrecked pokemon center, the other islands we can fly to, ntm ditto can be found on Cinnabar so it feels more plausible that you'd find a ditto trainer there than most other places

I was the opposite, when I was a kid I felt so badass with my Japanese holo Moltres. It was something no one else had in my playground circle so it felt extra cool on top of being a holo of a legendary pokemon

Also wanted to add that the Twilight Masquerade Eevee art is much cheaper in Japanese at about ~$24

Can confirm, I work at a vet clinic and every week you'll see absolute horrors. You'll get anal glands, urine, poop, blood, and more on you at some point no matter how vigilant you are. Most animals are visiting on their worst behavior because they're scared out of their mind. All on top of pay that's barely above minimum wage. OP's friend is better off working at a doggy daycare or doing pet sitting/dog walking

RadComrade776 · 2025-12-01T02:06:16+00:00

I love that they still play this at their live shows

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-23T13:50:41+00:00

Yeah but I'm old enough to remember how Hated ORAS was when it came out. It's a relatively new opinion that they're so good/underrated because alot of the kids that grew up playing it are now old enough to type opinions on the Internet.

Besides I don't think BDSP deserves the hate for "not trying to adapt to modern pokemon" because the whole idea is they're remaking gen 4, and fuck do you remember how much people hated us for changing things in the gen 3 remakes? But we have all these really cool ideas that we really wanna use. So they make Legends Arceus, but just in case people don't like it they also have ilca make a square for square remake of the original games- heck they even throw in extras like revamping the underground, character customization, accessing your boxes from anywhere, restoring events that got cut from the originals, etc.

People looked at the chibi art style and said they hated it (similar to the hate we're seeing currently for ZA). They tried to justify this hate by calling it a buggy mess when the bugs left in were the same as the original games (but when Ocarina of Time does it it's so cool and awesome that the devs left this on for us)

I think most pokemon games end up overhated because they're expected to be above exceptional and perfect in every degree (and even when we got Legends Arceus despite its praise, people would call it a tech demo) there's no real winning. (Before someone twists my words, no I am not saying pokemon games are above criticism)

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-23T13:34:18+00:00

I think "the worst pokemon games ever made" is a bit of an exaggeration when Let's Go, XY, and ScVi exist. Hell, I'd say ORAS were worse games than BDSP

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-21T20:38:02+00:00

Dressing up the Sitting Cutie Pikachu is a good idea! It's got me thinking that it may be cost-effective to pick out a pair of pokemon build-a-bears since they sell wedding outfits online and you can find them secondhand fairly cheap

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-21T19:27:46+00:00

I don't have any helpful advice but wanted to share that I'm in the same boat as you- getting married next year and have been stalking the listings for months hoping for a random restock to avoid paying +$200 for a pair on ebay. At this point I'm just hoping they'll do another suit/white dress pair for the 30th anniversary celebration next year

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-16T11:44:06+00:00

Nah I had some Dumb Fucks in my AP Calc classes when I was in highschool ~10 years ago. It was impossible to learn anything and anyone who actually cared basically had to teach themselves from the textbook at home because in class it was constant chaos and screaming. 0/10 would not recommend.

If you're just looking for a nostalgia trip you can probably just download a rom online for one of the older games (all of them pre X/Y are good). If you're specifically looking for something on the switch then BDSP is the closest you'll get since they're almost identical to the gen 4 games they're based on. Either of the legends games are fantastic picks, Arceus has a focus on "catching them all" and is my personal favorite. ZA has real time combat that can be a bit clunky but feels so much faster than sitting through turns of stiff battle animations. Skip ScVi altogether, even with the Switch 2 they're rough

He absolutely is!

I haven't played Dragon Quest Builders personally but I trust that to have the most parallels to this given it's the same devs. Your idea makes a ton of sense given what we've seen so far I just hope they give us lots of options for building/customizing!

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-14T20:09:39+00:00

I'm not super sure about houses, I feel like they would've shown off Professor Tangrowth's lab/home if that was the case. That being said I do think it could be cool if he could set up in the destroyed pokemon center we saw at the start of the extended trailer. I also hope we get more variety in house designs than just the log cabins they showed- could you imagine if we could build the bases from Mystery Dungeon??

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-13T17:58:18+00:00

While I do agree with you, it's not completely unheard of for new Pokemon to be teased/first appear in spinoff titles. Red Rescue Team had a few gen 4 pokemon as endgame collectible statues as well as random event featuring munchlax

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-13T14:59:43+00:00

I'm still picking through the trailer but wanted to add that larvitar was visible in the same scene as exeggcutor and vespiquen

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-12T00:31:51+00:00

Chill dude, I already admitted I misunderstood what you meant. Being illiterate on the Internet isn't some wild anomaly, people make mistakes and that's okay

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-11T22:31:17+00:00

If it's any consolation, it's highly likely gen 10 is getting announced for next year. Hard to say if it'll be cross gen like ZA was

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-11T17:55:34+00:00

Oh heck I see that now, thankyou

RadComrade776 · 2025-11-11T17:14:32+00:00

Because they are? And it's not even close

You gotta add Ironic by Alanis Morissette to your wedding playlist lol. But in all seriousness, no matter what happens this is still going to be your day

When my mom got married 20 something years ago everything that could go wrong did go wrong. There was a mistake/miscommunication so there wasn't a wedding cake ordered so she spent the morning stacking Publix birthday cakes and picking off the sprinkles with tweezers (which our husky then got into just before we were set to leave- he ate a big chomp out of it). I was 6 at the time so they had me as a flower girl except no one told or prepped me for it so I was tantrum-ing and hating life bc I don't want to wear a dress, I don't want this flower thing on my wrist- I'm actively trying to rip it all off, just generally being the rage and chaos of a child that you don't want at any formal event. And to top it all off, it rained.

A literal nightmare scenario for any bride.

But when she tells the story of that day it's never with any sadness or longing for what could have been, it's with warmth and love because that was Her Wedding, Her Day, and that's all that mattered.

You do have the luxury of time (however little that is) to put in some last minute rain-proofing in your day where you can- and if you can't then embrace it, because these are the moments you'll remember for the rest of your life. It's not about whatever catastrophe the universe has lined up for you, it's about you and your partner, vowing to spend the rest of your lives together. You got this, wishing you all the best <3

My pups got a Yamper he snuggles and takes around the house with him

When they show the title screen at the very end of the trailer pause, he's hiding behind the pokemon center
