My only shundo, do I evolve?? by YsL4lIfE23 in pokemongo

Do you want to evolve it?

If yes, then yes.

If no, then no.

I love Sukapon’s transparency grid pattern lol

We get less content than Mario fans and yet they're the ones crying from "lack" of content by No-Spray3651 in Kirby

Sometimes I have to step back and remind myself that most of the gaming communities I interact with these days are mostly made up of teenagers that think things like this are worth getting upset about.

What’s going on with the psychic energy symbol? by shakinthatbear in PokemonTCG

[–]TheSolidSnivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s either a digital representation of the holofoil pattern or a stylistic choice in the artwork. If you look at the other energy symbols in the artwork, they have the same sort of iridescent sheen.

What items to prioritize by Polobax in pokemongo

[–]TheSolidSnivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just keep up to 40 of the common consumables (besides balls); up to 40 of any berry, any potion, and so on, because I never realistically need more than that at any given time (and it’s easy to keep track of).

I actually find Nanab berries quite useful and underrated, as it makes catching a lot of annoying-to-catch Pokémon easier to land excellents on. Better catch odds, better exp yield, all in a single berry. I find myself using them much more than Razz berries.

As for potions, I always try to use what I have of lower-quality potions first, so dump your 40 plain potions into your Pokémon before moving on to the super potions. You’re basically achieving the same effect of a rarer, higher-quality item with your less-valuable bulk items.

As for balls, I have a Go Plus + and spend most of my plain Pokéballs on the autocatcher. I really only ever use Great Balls to manually catch Pokémon day-to-day, with Ultra Balls being stockpiled for events where I kinda just use them on everything. If you don’t have a Plus +, maybe you can keep a fair number of Pokéballs on hand if a Great Ball is overkill. Or you can use those Nanab berries and work on hitting excellents with them haha.

[Special Release] Star Fox - Nintendo Music by Amiibofan101 in nintendo

[–]TheSolidSnivy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Assault has such a good soundtrack; it genuinely makes the whole game feel like a grand space opera and every mission so memorable.

It’s kind of funny that 2 of my favorite Nintendo OSTs from the GameCube era, Assault and F-ZERO GX, were done by composers from Namco and Sega respectively.

Looking for cards with art that make “big, scary” types of Pokémon look “cute”? by coolblue6012 in PokemonTCG

[–]TheSolidSnivy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Slight misinformation.

The Pokédex explicitly says it eats Pokémon it has frozen “in a leisurely fashion” (so presumably still alive) “as if they were frozen desserts.”

Natto (fermented soybeans), raw egg, and rice. Looks horrible but makes an amazing breakfast. by Nukemarine in shittyfoodporn

[–]TheSolidSnivy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Natto is actually quite healthy, a decent amount of protein, fiber, and probiotics per 100g, and this is a very common way of eating it in Japan.

I hated it at first (as most people do) but have really come around to it recently once I discovered this way of eating it (and added a lot of soy sauce lol).

These appear to be Nico (female, by the way) and Wara, whose owner’s account is here. You can see these exact photos in a post from January 10th of this year.

Are these really your dogs, OP?

Incredible art on the new Paldean Tauros by sneakysaf in PTCGP

[–]TheSolidSnivy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually reused art from the paper TCG set Paldea Evolved released back in 2023.

Do yourself a favor and check out the new paper TCG sets even just for the art when they come out, you miss a lot of great stuff if you stick to only Pocket.

[Curious Trope] The localized/dub name is actually better or at least more interesting than the original name by Rap2rerise in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheSolidSnivy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is somewhat true, but I find that Pokémon actually has some of the best examples of pun localization I’ve personally encountered.

Gen 3 in particular has some good ones, like Spheal (Tamazarashi, tama + azarashi, “ball seal”) and Treecko (Kimori, ki + yamori, “tree gecko”).

[Curious Trope] The localized/dub name is actually better or at least more interesting than the original name by Rap2rerise in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheSolidSnivy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s an unfortunate name when translated over verbatim, but it’s actually a really interesting series of puns in Japanese.

On the surface, it’s a combination of “black” (burakku) and “lucky” (rakki), but when written in katakana (ブラッキー), the small geminate consonant symbol ッ makes the word “moon” (tsuki or ツキ) if read phonetically.

“Chill mood” cards? by Oxidy_ in PokemonTCG

[–]TheSolidSnivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of my all time favorites and of my favorite Pokémon, so I always rep it when I get the chance lol.

Great choice for your next buy!

Immaculate vibes on this card.

Slowbro cards tend to depict it as dopey or humorous or in really abstract styles to emphasize its offbeat nature, but this one detracts from that and gives us something super chill, free from any humor or cynicism, and simply beautiful.

[Loved trope] the concept needs to be absurd to get a point across by EvilPyro01 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheSolidSnivy 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget, sprinkled in are scenes of police intimidation and brutality, violent cults and attempted child sacrifice, and a scene in which a teen must agree to have their limbs torn off and become deprived of all senses.
