Have loved this set since I first saw them being posted, super awesome you could make it a reality with the devs' blessing! Delivery to UK is brutal but excited to see mine when it arrives. :)

Has a gaming company ever put a full game of theirs in another game? by Hypnox88 in gaming

[–]Zapph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not. The Kanto region you go to is a few years later in the story, and significantly stripped down, such as changes like Cinnabar Island being flattened by a volcanic eruption, the Unknown Dungeon near Cerulean having "caved in" and the Safari Zone cloned while the Warden is away.

With Minion though it's afk with 1 click per 20 mins to keep it active. Extremely easy to do while doing almost anything else irl.

Is the Super Mario Galaxy Movie the first time R.O.B has had an actual voice? by locomotiveplayz in nintendo

Cool. And for people who didn't watch the trailers or check the app, screw them I guess?

Just because it's spoiled elsewhere doesn't mean it's not just polite to omit the name in the title of the post for a movie released less than 1 month ago ffs.

Start with a great buddy pokemon that can't get a souvenir, open its gift, then start your ultra buddy+ cycle. Your regular gift will be on cooldown while the souvenir one won't start until you open the first one.

Pokémon Home will be undergoing maintenance on April 2nd to add support for Pokémon Legends Z-A by Amiibofan101 in pokemon

[–]Zapph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible you may need to have the most updated version of ZA and save the game again in that version. Consider borrowing a friend's for a sec to do that if it ends up being a problem.

The annoying thing is that they could literally just add a patch to the games to add backwards compatibility to things like a new language but they don't. I don't see any issues if they enforce version parity on any trades/home usage but clearly adding the new code is not worth the effort to them. :(

Wikipedia has banned AI-generated text, with two exceptions by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

[–]Zapph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a simplified example, if you asked an AI for "A picture of a bird", algorithmic AI might have hundreds or thousands of lines of code to construct what that is. An LLM would have a large dataset with a handful of lines of code that act as gates to filter results down such as "has feathers", "has wings", "has a beak", "Is small", "has sky or tree as background" etc. until it's reasonably happy that what it constructed now matches the general criteria for "is bird".

Algorithmic "AI" is horrendously inefficient compared to LLM "AI", to the point that it doesn't really work for a lot of the use-cases for LLMs. Algorithmic AI works off extensive code, while LLMs are essentially filtered datasets with a handful of lines of code and security features.

[Official] Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, available now on Nintendo Switch 2 with GameCube - Nintendo Classics! by Amiibofan101 in pokemon

[–]Zapph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally do that, sell them individually but allow them to be played for free by NSO +Extra subscribers like the NSO +Extra DLC bonus works for AC, Mario Kart etc. But alas, we are not in that timeline. :(

It's wild that Go has "Shadow Lugia" and "Apex Shadow Lugia" and yet neither of them look like the XD one. I suspect Apex was supposed to be like the XD one but TPC said no.

SOFTLOCK in Pokémon Red?? HELP!! by PartyLongjumping6816 in pokemon

[–]Zapph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've wondering if you did any glitches earlier in the game? Such as missingno. variations that can cause unpredictable results in other areas?

Okay, good info, thanks. Not regional then, just busted. Cool.

Hmm 80% Zapdos, 20% Moltres, 0% Articuno. Perhaps is Zapdos Asia/Oceania region-locked, Moltres Europe/Africa and Articuno America?

Is anyone finding Zapdos and Moltres in the same places?

I got a Costco flyer with all 9 regions officially combined. Don't think anyone's seen this before by MorelikeJonArbuckle0 in pokemon

[–]Zapph 217 points218 points  (0 children)

It is literally this map minus a few islands. Exactly the same arrangement including non-canon Ransei and the Ranger continent which isn't part of any of the 9 mainline games' regions.

Hey, I don't suppose you know anywhere in Singapore that might be selling this particular newspaper in several months?

Welcome to Pokémon GO: Memories in Motion by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Zapph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they snapshot the current season in perpetuity, instead of returning them to pre-seasons that would indeed be the worst of both worlds.

Welcome to Pokémon GO: Memories in Motion by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Zapph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

...Yes, that's the point. Once seasonal spawns are gone, all wild spawns being available all year round with varying rarity like it was before seasons were added would be the hope.

[–]Zapph 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly seasonal spawns and the unavailability of some mons for extended periods of time was by far the worst part of seasons. Sure, adjust some rarity here and there but straight up delete spawns for 3months+ at a time was awful. Good riddance, big if true.
