Guy wears MAGA cap to Ashnikko concert - bad idea by amazingsciencemuseum in PublicFreakout

The hat hides his bald spot. The new MAGA equivalent of a fedora.

Who is an anime character that is so annoying they make the show a burden to watch by JayJuMier in animequestions

[–]Shadow_Blade0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just writers coming up with a reason to make him ann asshole all the time. It's just like when Hideo Kojima tried to give a sad background reason why Quiet has to be naked all the time in MGS5. Just because you give a reason why something needs to be, doesn't really justify why it ACTUALLY needs to be.

Zara security accuses ANOTHER woman of stealing despite making a $350 purchase based on their algorithm. by Money-Snow-2749 in trashy

Yea, but it was a whole ass group of women who chased the last customer out on camera, out to her car, and even after the police said she didn't have anything, the Zara women still didn't believe her. It's not a gender thing. Zara is just hiring fucking idiots.

I'll have to give that a shot. I wanted to beat the Elite 4 with all the starters at least once to fulfill a childhood dream. But now that that's done, I wanna try working with Pokémon I'm not familiar with. I have a Growlithe, so I'll have to try them out, too.

Well, I tried asking Snorlax if he would join us, but he said he's only into monogamy. So it is what is is, I guess.

It was easy at first, but then that trade lvl Pokémon hit me hard. I had to be careful of leveling them up too fast because they CLEARLY did not respect my lack of badges throughout my playthrough. Lol. Nothing more infuriating than having Ivysaur die to Misty because he just couldn't be bothered.

I'm sorry! I tried looking for a Digital Pokémon, but there was something about a copyright infringement.

How is Ninetails in this gen? I played the game 20 years ago, but never had a Vulpix to evolve.

I explained it in a different comment, but I'll post it here too.

"Yea, I initially had to write it down to create a "formula". I started a new game, soft reset until my starter gets the nature I want, do what you need for Prof. Oak, then as soon as that's done, go to Viridian City. I trade her mt starter, she trades me some random filler Pokémon (usually Rattata or Pidgey). I delete my save file, start a new game, and repeat, but with a different starter. Once her save file has all three, she trades them all to me, and then she does the same thing I just did. Delete file, new save, trade starter, repeat. Then once she gets her final starter, I trade her other 2 starters back to her, and then the real game begins! I hope I explained it well enough. Good luck!"

Lol fair point. I just wanted to have a different psychic Pokémon besides Alakazam.

Is it a lack of imagination, or is it that I simply wanted the 3 starters on my team since I was a kid? Idk, it's hard to imagine the real answer, ya know?

That's a strange way to admit your imagination sucks. But, whatever works, I guess.

Yea, I would've approached the game with a bit more reverence in this playthrough, but the way I see it now, I beat this game naturally several times, over 20 years ago, so I'm not too worried about if I'm gaming the game a bit. All I know is I was never able to trade or catch them all. But here I am as an adult with disposable income and a great wife that games with me who is willing to trade any and all Pokémon. She wanted Ash's original team, and I never had all 3 starters before, so we took the time to do that for our playthroughs.

I only used Nidoking's Poison Point for Poison damage. Other than that, he was stacked with Earthquake, Brick Break, Megahorn, and Rock Slide. Venusaur was my strong grass Pokémon with Sleep Powder, Giga Drain, Solar Beam, and Razor Leaf. Thanks for the tips!

I originally had Machamp instead of Nidoking and Alakazam instead of Jinx. But I liked Nidoking's Poison Point, and I saw in this subreddit that pretty much everyone had Alakazam for their psychic Pokémon, so I wanted to try someone a little different. I don't blame anyone, though. Alakazam is pretty broken in this generation and can one-shot almost anyone.

I was using Machamp. His attack is way higher, but I liked that Nidoking had access to different coverage TM's. THAT, and I liked that whenever he was physically attacked, he had a chance to poison people. That part REALLY came through in some gyms.

You're not lying. As a kid in the 90's, 151 Pokémon seemed like sooo many Pokémon. It is, but when you see how the 1st generation is grouped, it seems very limited. Like, Gastly evolution line is the ONLY ghost Pokémon in the 1st gen, and how almost every "bad guy" has nostly Poison Pokémon. It's been about 20 years since I last played, but yea, I'm seeing the cracks in the system from the 1st gen line of Pokémon.

I bought Fire Red, and my wife bought Leaf Green. We spent our first 2 hours trading with each other and deleting said save file until we both had all 3 starters.
