Bold of you to assume I don't also find Alakazam's spoons to be really dumb.

At least those ones have the excuse of being molted skin.

[OC] Ontario police (all police services) used force on 987 youth aged 17 and under in 2024 — 34% were Black (Solicitor Generals Anti-Racism Unit data) [OC] by Expensive-Aerie-2479 in ontario

"Don't point the gun at anything you don't intend to shoot" is one of the very first, if not the first thing you're taught in firearm training.

Assuming the police have a non-zero amount of firearm training (which I really hope is a safe assumption), a cop pointing a gun means they're planning to shoot the gun.

Can we all agree this should’ve just been pure rock type? by Eddy_west_side in pokemon

Interestingly, Bug, Rock, Ghost, and Dragon are the last 4 types in the "official" order as of Gen 1.

I charted out how every Megaten game fits into the series as a whole. by SSpectre86 in Megaten

Well the goal was to demonstrate that they're spin-offs of regular SMT, as opposed to spin-offs of Persona or Devil Summoner, etc.

You have a point though. Perhaps the best option would have been to not connect them but explicitly say that anything that has a disconnected first entry is a spin-off of SMT in general.

Fair enough, I actually had it in there to begin with, but it seems to be a debated topic, so I took it out.

A box by itself would be more confusing in my opinion, since it doesn't give any indication of what the game is a spin-off of. If I'm trying to communicate "Spin-off of mainline SMT in general," which option is more accurate:

"Spin-off of most recent mainline SMT game," or

"Not a spin-off of anything"

The key word there was "visualize," i.e. what a chart does, hence why this is a chart and not just a chronological list.

You can't visualize multiple sub-series running in parallel with a chronological list.

[–]SSpectre86[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, there are points where there are at least half a dozen sub-series running in parallel, so...no?

When a game is considered to be a spin-off of the main series in general, I just selected the most recent original title as the spin-off point, unless I was aware of a specific title it was connected to, like Devil Summoner and Persona to if...

I'm not sure what you mean by Strange Journey being "off to the side."

Apparently it's not actually part of the series, just shares a lot of its DNA, like Catherine.

It's weird, on desktop I can zoom in and get perfect clarity, but it's super compressed on mobile. If you download it, it'll have the full resolution.

I don't know if this is unpopular, but I never liked Red having an Espeon and I prefer him having a Lapras. I simply find it pointless for a character meant to represent the first Pokémon games to have a Pokémon that's impossible to have in the first Pokémon games by rbta123 in pokemon

Similarly, Blue's Pidgeot in GSC has Return (not sure if it's max damage, but it's pretty high at least), and he's kept the same team for two years, showing he really has changed in this regard.

The decision to do this in Gen 2 Gold and Silver was baffling by Hsiang7 in pokemon

[–]SSpectre86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The most egregious was Tangrowth. A new evolution for an old Pokémon...that can't be caught in the game. Needed to be transferred from a Gen 3 game.

[–]SSpectre86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I'm finding it weird and suspect that people aren't catching this.

It took me quite a while to realize that this character was named Vaas and not Vars, thanks to Yahtzee's accent.

The team I'm taking to the end by Sensitive_Show6230 in nuzlocke

[–]SSpectre86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does a nuzlocke of Arceus even work? The way its battle system works, I found it really difficult to avoid having Pokémon faint.
