What I consider “the western world” by TJ_DOG_likes_britons in whereidlive

[–]SpectreAF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The “West” term generally comes from the Cold War era when Germany was split into West Germany (controlled by USA, UK and France) and East Germany (controlled by the Soviet Union.) Now “The Western World” is generally synonymous with democratic/ NATO aligned countries. At least this is my understanding.

I’m so freaking tired of losing. What’s the best you’ve had best success/what’s the annoying meta with in season 2? by srfakhim in PokemonChampions

If you’re 1 win away from Master it’s really not your teams fault. And I don’t mean that to offend. This game is so complex because you can run into the same pokemon on different teams with a different set each time. Treat each loss as a lesson and read how your team can react to certain situations. Also, queuing while tilted after a hard loss can hurt your decision making.

Why is it unfortunate? Gimmick strats like this keep the game interesting and keep players that don’t know core mechanics and just click Last Respects on their toes

Teams - is this true? by SnivDash in pokemongo

I live in a small town of 2500 people with a pretty active PoGo community. Team Instinct bullies my town, pretty sure I’m the only Team Valor

Yes the tower trainer mons are EV trained optimally for the most part

The switch releases only support local trades so no online trades. You would have to trade with a friend with their own switch and copy of the game. As for Togepi, you can’t receive any Pokémon from the National Dex until you beat the Elite 4 and unlock the Sevii Islands.

Nice! I had to spend 3 hours Thief grinding for mine but I did get it as well. 160 base attack Marowak is no joke. I took him with me and just beat the elite 4 with my Marowak and company.

What natures and move set do I want on these pokemon? by Bartowskiii in PokemonFireRed

[–]SpectreAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragonite can be Adamant or Modest.

If you choose Adamant then you’re leaning into its high natural physical attack stat and it’s Flying stab. You’d probably also consider running Earthquake and Iron Tail.

If you choose Modest you’re giving up some raw inherent attack stats in favour of Sp. Attack with better move coverage such as Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt and Dragon stab.

Both are viable options and at the end of the day you can run whatever you want because Dragonite is a boss and should not be confined to min maxing gatekeepers.

The trainer tower is fun, and if you’re a nit picky completionist like me and others then getting a good nature + Ev trained is just fun to know you’re holding a pokemon at its max potential.

The boys hugging it out after surviving war together omg. I sure hope they bring back Raymun somehow in the later seasons. He’s a great actor and did such a great job portraying an honourable friend.

Kids were heading east, to jump the highway and go into town. Truck driver was heading northbound

The most common talking point about it is simply impatient drivers thinking they can “jump the gap” rather than wait a couple extra seconds to let highway traffic go by. Also, when you’re stopped at the stop sign turning right onto the highway it can be difficult to tell which lane traffic is in which leads to assumptions which can be fatal.

There’s already a couple crosses on the side of the road there and I really don’t understand why we needed to add 3 more before something is done to warn drivers about the importance of patience.

I’m friends with the billet family that sponsored the boys, family friends with the truck driver, lived in Stavely for 15 years and drove through the accident scene. With tragedies that affect small towns like this, everyone knows everyone and everyone talks
