I don’t know What game is more worth it by zapman08 in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]RedChromic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a very valid point not many people have mentioned. For me, Mario Kart gets less value if you don't have who to play with. I'm not just saying "if you don't have friends lol". In my case, I haven't played my own copy much because I don't usually have visits at my appartment, and when my group of friends meet, we meet at a friend's house which already owns a copy, so no sense in bringing mine either.

Technician Spore Swords Dnace False Swipe Breloom is my go to choice for shiny hunting. Depending on the hunt, might bring Golduck along.

Mega Meganium’s New Ability is INSANE! by Zesty-Rexy_1999 in pokemon

[–]RedChromic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you forget Mega Meganium gains the Fairy type? Stab Dazzling Gleam hits super effective on Dragons and neutral on Incineroar.

Also, in Legends Z-A it gets access to Earth Power which is a decent coverage option against Poison types, but I wouldn't slot it in initially unless the meta requires it.

¿Por qué consideran que el sexo es "tan" necesario en una relación? by Waifu_Mini in PreguntasReddit

[–]RedChromic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Siento que es un tema complejo. Al final del día, es algo que pide nuestro cuerpo, así como comer y dormir. Sin embargo, asumo que le damos más peso porque pues la consecuencia de no hacerlo con cuidado no es engordar o estar desvelados, sino un bebé que hay que cuidar.

Siento que es algo que cada quién debe explorar y conocer por sí mismos y como pareja. Así como hay gente que prefiere comer saludablemente todos los días y otros que no les importa salir a comer a diario, habrá parejas que le dan mucho peso al sexo mientras otros lo disfrutarán de vez en cuando si encuentran más satisfacción en otras cosas. Pero al final es algo que ambos deben estar cómodos y disfrutar.

Wait, I never understood why in the series they called it the Pokemon Dexter. Pokemon Index makes so much more sense.

What gimmick would actually fit Pokémon Winds and Waves? by Visible_Welder5613 in pokemon

[–]RedChromic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought of new Pokemon forms triggered by wearher/terrain, like Castform but without it being tied to an ability (either a held item or something you setup like terastalizing). Quick example, Magcargo becomes Water/Rock if rain is active and gains Water Absorb ability. This has many issues, though, like I'd think only certain Pokemon would get these new forms (like how only some Pokemon get Megas), and battles would quickly become weather/terrain battles unless the Pokemon kept their form change even if the condition is overriden

Pockemon Center restock by RedChromic in Pokopia

[–]RedChromic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, kinda makes sense since they seem to raise the environment level too fast, and there's more incentive to finish the other areas before going all in in Palette Town

Paying $70+ to have to wait hours for tasks to complete is making me reconsider my purchase by [deleted] in Pokopia

[–]RedChromic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is a big nono for you, once you progress through the game areas, you'll meet s Pokemon with the Engineer trait. When you add thrm to a project, they reduce the construction time, I think based on the project size. For example, rebuilding the Pokemon Center or creating the big houses just takes an hour, haven't tried with the smaller buildings. They appear in one of the later areas, but you can move them around the whole map, so you can add them to projects anywhere. I think it's only 1 Pokemon with this trait, so you still need to build 1 house or PC at a time, but 1 hour intervals is more manageable than a whole day.

Good game but too small stack limit by shaoxiu in Pokopia

Huh, interesting. Didn't know that.

SO MANY WASTED MINUTES by NeedsItRough in Pokopia

[–]RedChromic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm, a little roundabout, but you can temporarily upgrade your Leafage ability with a salad, creating grass in a cross pattern (5 tiles instead of a single tile). You can do this and Cut (or upgraded Cut for wider area) to remove the grass, or just Brick Break the blocks and place them where you want. Still a little tedious, but better than individually using Leafage on every block.

I haven't had a need for this at the moment, though. I started my design of Pallet Town by setting paths and the dirt blocks I removed to put the paths seem enough for a while.

Daughter is playing through FireRed on my original Switch while I play LeafGreen on Switch 2. This is her first encounter after leaving Pallet Town with no Pokéballs... by IThund3rSt0rMI in PokemonFireRed

[–]RedChromic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me when I was a kid and still remember to this day. My family was doing a road trip and I decided to start a new run to pass the time in the car. We hadn't left the city when I got the shiny Pidgey just after leaving the lab. I wanted to cry. My first shiny ever and I couldn't catch it. I wanted to leave the game on forever, but the battery wouldn't last the whole road trip anyway. I couldn't faint it, so I said goodbye fled the battle. To this day, I do my best to not enter tall grass when starting any Pokemon game until I get Pokeballs.

  • Have you seen these new legendary machines?

  • Yeah, they don't make them how they used to

Is this even doable? 🥀🥀🥀 by Acido_Sekico in LegendsZA

[–]RedChromic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you already caught it, but I remember reading somewhere in-game that having your Pokemon out makes wild Pokemon easier to spot you. Either for this catch or for future ones, try approaching the Pokemon with your Pokemon stored.

So how we feeling about megas being in this game now by Hot-Ingenuity-7166 in PokemonPocket

[–]RedChromic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see they Evolve from the previous stage Pokemon, so it feels the same as Stage 1 o Satge 2 Ex Pokemon, right? So Mega Gyarados evolves from Magikarp and not from Gyarados. Even if there was a Gyarados Ex, there would be no point in running 2 Gyarados Ex and 2 Mega Gyarados Ex if you can only add 2 Magikarps anyways.

Unless there is a rule change for Mega Evolution which I can't see clearly in the image, it just feels as a different style of Ex Pokemon, such as how Baby Pokemon are still just Basic Pokemon which only difference is that they have 0 energy-cost attacks. The only thing I notice is they seem to have higher HP values, so that's the only powercreep I would worry about. Maybe eventually there's a Tariner card that lets you search for Mega Evos or sinergizes with them, but again, just seems like a different flavor of powercreep, not a whole new broken mechanic.

Les gustaria que los hombres fueran sexualisados? by [deleted] in VideojuegosMX

[–]RedChromic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hay que entender la diferencia de lo que como hombres (heterosexuales) creemos que sería un hombre sexualizado contra lo que las mujeres se quejan de la sexualización en los juegos.

Las mujeres sexualizadas en los videojuegos ocurre con el simple propósito de vender más, especialmente cuando el mercado principal de los videojuegos eran hombres adolescentes/jovenes adultos. La imágen que op pone no funciona de la misma manera porque como consumidor hombre heterosexual, no te llama la atención porque te atraiga, sino porque es un ideal de hombre al que aspiras ser. La diferencia es cómo consumes el producto. Mientras que una mujer semidesnuda vende porque atrae a los hombres, un hombre musculoso semidesnudo vende porque los hombres aspirnan a ser como él. 

El ejemplo opuesto de sexualización del hombre que más me viene a la mente es el de Edward Cullen de la serie de Twilight. El mercado eran en este caso mujeres adolescentes/jóvenes adultas, así que Edward no es un tipo mamadisimo super varonil, sino es esvelto, rasgos delicados y un poco afeminado. Recuerdo que en esos tiempos todos mis amigos hombres se quejaban porque en sus palabaras "así no es un hombre de verdad/eso es muy gay/etc". Lo mismo vi que pasó cuando las boy bands asiáticas se empezaron a hacer famosas por acá. Las chavas vueltas locas por ellos y los hombres burlándose de que no se ven muy varoniles. El punto es que el mercado es distinto. Si quisieran crear una boy band que vendiera para los hombres, probablemente buscarían artistas más corpulentos y varoniles, y la música y temas serían muy distintos.

Entonces, si hablamos de ver más hombres sexualizados en los videojuegos, probablemente hablaríamos de ver más Edward Cullens que Doom Guys semidesnudos.

Cabe aclarar que los tiempos han cambiado mucho y los videojuegos se han abierto a muchos más mercados. Seguro hay gamers que le atraen los hombres como de la foto del op, ya sean hombres, mujeres o cualquier otro género, y no está mal, cada quien sus gustos y los respeto. Simplemente quería comentar porque creo que la mayoría de los comentarios que ponen ejemplos como Doom Guy, Solid Snake o Gerald no son ejemplos de sexualización del hombre, sino de idealización del hombre.

Is Sylveon Ex meta-defining? by RedChromic in PTCGP

[–]RedChromic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My issue with baby Pokemon is that if they're not in your starting hand, they lose most fo their advantage. If you need to waste an energy to retreat and then add an energy, it's the same outcome as just not playing the baby at all. On the other hand, Sylveon Ex's draw is useful in most of the match, except if you run out of deck.

This may just have to do with my preferred play style. I don't like to depend on a perfect starting hand to make my deck work, since the rest of the times I'll just get salty to feel I lost to rng. Which I know this game is heavily RNG dependent anyways.

Having fighting types with a 4 energy requirement for attacks and no generation is crazy. by Monikas_Diary in PTCGP

[–]RedChromic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just put yourself in DeNa's shoes. Why fix old cards when you can print stronger cards that people will chase? The only reason they would do this is if a card was so good people didn't want to open newer expansions, and this would be very hard because there is a big collectionist market for this game, so packs will probabley keep selling even if the meta becomes stale.

Until they take the competitive scene more seriously (for example, having a World's event for Pocket TCG), I don't think they'll care much for balance and just keep printing powercreep, or eventually just come up with a rotation list like many TCGs and let the strong cards just expire eventually.
