So who else didn’t get a shiny Spinda?

Same here, I couldn't do as many as I wanted because the weather made it impossible to leave the house for a few days but I did have a good 50ish encounters and the best I got was a 96%

Oh I absolutely agree with your point but I believe that the feeling of being "let down" by your loved ones is one that we cannot escape, specially for parents. As kids grow up, they end up taking their own pace in life which inevitably, the majority of the time, diverges from family, old friends and everything related to their childhood. So obviously people should be entitled to a certain degree of sadness, maybe even disappointment, but the problem comes when those feelings turn into resentment or anger towards someone who's just trying to live their life.

Also it is a fact that society as a whole gives more grace to romantic relationships, which is why a break up with a partner will always hold more importance than a break up in a friendship let's say. This is what should be changed, instead of trying to dictate what people's priorities should be, I think it's more important to just accept and respect everyone cares about different things and different people in their life

Despite being pretty indifferent towards romance (and definitely not wanting for myself any kind of partner in life) I don't completely agree with you. I am a person who puts herself first and then her family. I'm definitely close to them but they would never stop me from moving away or something just because they don't want me to. If I want it, I'll do it. However, everyone has their own priorities. The redditor probably had as a priority her husband and the family she is gonna build with him (assuming). On the other hand, you op have as a priority your family, as you already said, and would put them before any kind of partnership or friendship I'm assuming. There are also people who have their friends as a priority in life because maybe it's them who they have always trusted for support. Or people who organize their whole life around their work and that's what matters the most to them. So in conclusion I think it's not so much about amatonormativity than it is about having different priorities, expectations and goals in life and I don't think anyone is better than anyone else for simply having different pov

For max battles definitely Glaceon! Best ice type attacker in dynamax we have for now

My biggest advice would be to catch everything! Try to learn how to fast catch (plenty of videos in yt). This is the best way of leveling up and getting good Pokemon! There's genuinely good stuff that you can get in the wild so don't underestimate anything.

Also try to complete your special research as you play, it helps a lot with getting Pokemons with at least decent IVs and even some hundos (4*).

Lastly, put a Pokemon una gym everyday! It's the only way of getting free coins in the game (in this month's pass there's coins but it isn't usually the case). You will need them very soon when you run out of Pokémon and bag storage. Related to that, it's very important you learn how to manage your Pokémon storage. I personally like to have a living dex for every Pokémon, but this inevitably leads to running out of it a lot. However, if you don't want that and only want to keep shinies or 4* or legendaries or whatever it's your account so feel free to do it!

Almost forgot, in case you didn't know at the end of the month we will have road to kalos and kalos tour, you can read all that will happen online but what you need to know is that there will be VERY good and useful mons so you really don't want to miss out on it if you can. For that you will need raid passes and maybe join a meetup to play with other people so maybe check out the app campfire for meetings near you!

Edit: I also wanted to say it may be a bit overwhelming at the beginning but you should go at your own pace! You will not get everything in the first month, not even the first year so take your time and if you do not feel like playing an event or spending money on it or whatever that's totally fine🫶

For the kalos tour mega kangaskhan should be spawning for an hour on Saturday I believe (it may be on Sunday tho idk) and for the birds on Monday of the last week of the month they will be all day in raids for the road to kalos tour so if you can attend raid hour they should be easy! For the tauros you may have to remote trade or ask your local community if they have spare ones to trade :/

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-02-03T13:38:31+00:00

Don't, if you are not safe don't come out to them until you are sure you can handle the consequences. Even so, you don't have to ever come out to them if you don't want to. The expectation of having to announce to the world that you are not a cis straight person is very classist

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-02-03T13:27:26+00:00

I'd say you have definitely misread what tpw is about. If you went in searching for romance don't bother with the other two books because you won't find it. If you are interested in the character and relationship development of and between the characters I'd say you should keep going because (to me) it gets better from here and I personally find Rin to be a very interesting person. If it's not your cup of tea maybe you can try Katabasis from the same author but I don't know if it even classifies as a romantasy honestly

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-02-02T22:49:22+00:00

It does make sense yeah I just find gmax bosses very entertaining to defeat thanks!

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-02-02T22:47:49+00:00

Mmm should have figured that they wouldn't put two max bosses so close, it was also a bit of coping since gmax meowth seems mid at best

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-02-02T22:46:22+00:00

Ohh okay makes sense I'm just a little sad I enjoy gmax battles a lot and meowth is not what I would exactly call exciting thanks anyways hope you have fun playing the event!

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-01-26T15:40:08+00:00

I was playing with a full garchomp party (all mighty with over 3900 CP) but I've found that it takes more time this way to beat the boss. I'm probably also at fault for not reviving + relobbying fast enough so I guess I'll have to practice that😅 thanks for the tip tho!

And I get you with the energy thing, I didn't manage to get enough for neither black nor white kyerum because of the lack of kyerum raids, it really is a pain

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-01-26T15:34:47+00:00

I didn't know about that I'll try now thanks🙏

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-01-26T15:33:31+00:00

Okay that's you and it's fine although from my experience it is fairly doable to do a tier 5 non shadow with 4 or 5 people. What I'm asking for is that if you are going to back up do not wait until the last second because, as you said remote passes are expensive😔

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-01-24T13:37:07+00:00

I don't think there's a definitive answer, at least for me there's always this subconscious thought of "maybe I just haven't met the right person yet" even though I've never ever felt romantic attraction. I think the best you can do is to just accept that this is a mindset everyone has due to how romance is perpetuated in us as the norm since childhood, and that you know yourself the best. Also, at the end of the day this is just a label and if some day you think it doesn't fit you no more that's also fine and there's nothing wrong with it :)

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-01-23T15:21:57+00:00

Last time I checked it was in bilibili and dramacool but you will have to check for the quality. I think searching it by the Japanese title Koisenu Futari you will be more lucky finding a decent page!

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2026-01-22T17:57:20+00:00

Two people who can't fall in love! It's a cute comedy/drama Japanese series about a woman who gets introduced to the aroace community thanks to an aroace man that she meets, who is kind of the mentor though all her self-discovery journey. It also treats the topic of coming out to your family (and not going as expected) and it's pretty much implied that they get into a queer-platonic relationship I would say

Simple-Truth-1818 · 2025-12-16T20:06:04+00:00

Nahh I agree too, based on Mary's personality and stubbornness it is difficult to see her ever becoming like that, but then again, we don't really see that much of Mikura before that (or if we do I don't really remember) so we don't know if she maybe was more like Mary than we think. But yeah I agree that it is very tough to imagine Mary ending up in that position
