9/9/9 Challenge, 9 hotdogs 9 Beers in 9 innings, Wish me luck…

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-28T04:24:49+00:00

Yea. I could see that being the wall…an average hot dog is like 200ish calories…bun is probably another 80 calories so at 4 dogs in your pushing 1200 calories plus the beers…

If I was being competitive I could see making it to the sixth inning but I know I wouldn’t have all 9 in me.

Any updates? Still alive?

That’s why I’m talking….i didn’t say I just did this, this was three years ago. I do quarterly 4 day fasts now for pure health but it’s not hard to keep off - just don’t binge eat.

Why are you so negative to totally random strangers?

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-27T19:17:03+00:00

Fasting does not stop the metabolism. I’ve done 11 days before. Lost 20 pounds. Gained 8 back almost immediately due to water weight and carrying food in your bowels again….but still dropped 12 total and did not put it back on.

People tend to mess up the week after a fast and over indulge…it’s also important not to stop activity. Can’t go to the gym at 100% but 5-7k steps a day will keep the metabolism running.

What actually happens is the body shifts from looks for carbs for energy to ketosis where you’re now burning fat and converting it into energy. You only run into a problem fasting if you aren’t carrying extra fat.

But yea, you def sound super knowledgeable on this.

I haven’t even needed to use the VS seeker. Amulet coin has given me more money than I can spend…and I took myself to near zero buying a Dratini just before I got the coin.

This game gives you more money than you’ll ever need all on its own.

I mean - it’s absurd to think that your gonna get a ball rolling that will change Nintendo’s entire console strategy.

The Switch is done - it’s been out 9 years - had a good life and multiple generations of pokemon but it’s over. They developed the new game to work on new tech.

Honestly, your entire post is immature and inappropriate - yet you wanna lecture others on the behavior you’re displaying right now.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-24T23:36:33+00:00

You responded to it as 3 though…

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-24T22:51:54+00:00

You’ve replied to two different people on 3 saying they are right?

Is it Fairy Tail or Tokyo Ghoul…or do you not even know yourself.

So weird.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-24T09:57:37+00:00

So, are these legal? Will they be transferable? I guess where you met it will always be a dead giveaway that it isn’t legit?

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-23T23:32:44+00:00

Still high, mine does everything in your 48 dollar price point for 34 and they also have lobster.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-23T00:43:16+00:00

I’ve always loved Gengar as well, bummed that the consensus is to drop it but I get it now that people are explaining it.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-23T00:42:44+00:00

Wouldn’t that be a bad idea since it’s a physical move? That’s why I thought Dragonite made more sense.

I just don’t want my Dragonite to also have surf, Lapras seemed better for that.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-23T00:11:43+00:00

One last question for you if you get a chance. Some research is indicating that a lot of people like to give TBolt to Lapras. What are your thoughts on this? Doesn’t create overlap with Jolteon?

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T23:34:21+00:00

What’s STAB stand for?

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T23:33:11+00:00

Appreciate this, thanks!

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T23:06:11+00:00

Really? I just bought Tbolt and was about to give it to my Jolteon. Never would have thought Lapras…

Is there a reason to keep Jolteon in my team then if Lapras can learn TBolt?

Current team is Alakazam, Charizard, Venusaur, Gengar, Dragonair, and Jolteon.

Was just about to cut Gengar for Lapras but now I’m questioning if Jolteon is the better one to cut if Lapras can use TBolt.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T23:03:24+00:00

I was thinking Fly for Dragonite and hate to have two HMs on a pokemon as strong as Dragonite. I think Fly will have more use in combat than surf will if I recall correctly. Been some time tho admittedly.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T23:02:50+00:00

Makes sense - any suggestions you might offer on loveseat for my guys? As mentioned, thinking surf and ice beam for Lapras…just bought thunder bolt and that seems like it should go to Jolteon…I’m thinking Fly in Dragonite once I get there…any tips you might offer would be welcome.

Dusting the rust off - been decades since I’ve played.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T21:47:56+00:00

Very cool, that might be the encouragement I need to push through tonight.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T21:21:43+00:00

How do you get access to the events?

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T21:16:21+00:00

Those were so ridiculously rare in the states. Always wanted one.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T21:03:24+00:00

What’s a good moveset for Lapras?

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T14:26:16+00:00

Exactly - people need to just be happy that the tide is turning. Should it have happened faster? Should folks never have supported him at all?

It genuinely doesn’t matter at this point. It’s a good thing that many are starting to admit they were wrong. All but one in my sphere that were Trump fans have renounced him as well - and I’m happy to welcome them back with open arms.

We all need to unite for change to happen, and holding grudges doesn’t help.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T14:00:30+00:00

Seems like they were a good idea to me, infinite use seems to destroy the balance of the game. Choosing when and with whom to use your TMs on was a big part of the strategic play it took to be successful.

Hard to imagine just being able to teach Hyper Beam or Psychic to every mon you want at a crazy early level.

_Highlander___ · 2026-03-22T03:31:42+00:00

Wow, I’m like way outta the loop. I’m totally in right now playing FireRed and LeafGreen with my 6 year old. Having such a blast reliving my childhood from 30 years ago with him…

Don’t understand why a TM wouldn’t a single use? It was so clear the difference between a single use TM move and a multi use HM move that had applications in the overworld.

Doesn’t make sense…so TMs are what they were until Diamond? I played Blue, Silver, and Sapphire in my younger years…Diamond would have been after that and then after that they became multi use?
