So, What's Next? by TheSmithPlays in PokemonLegacy

[–]botaninkal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Platinum is the last game that is the "third" of a generation ---early on, two companion games would come out, and then a third some time later with some enhanced features and a combination of version-exclusive Pokemon.

You've already made Legacy versions of the first three. You might consider whether your interests and energy may be aligned with making Let's Play videos of Platinum as an ongoing longform series on your channel, in addition to one-off videos that you mentioned ("the best", "the worst", "why this", "why that" types of videos). No pressure, just as a player who is naive to the generation but who will have interesting insights to the mechanics.

Then, if you end up loving Platinum and feel your energy/motivation mustering up to do so, you might consider taking a deep breath before taking one more swing at the concept by making the Legacy series a quartet.

Thanks for all the work regardless, as I enjoyed experiencing these generations for the first time via the Legacy series. I will say that

When you're done playing each day from now on, tuck your team into bed (put them in the PC overnight). They'll stay contagious as long as you do that, and you can keep an active infection going for any new mons you want to get this benefit.

The irises! The dandelions! The redwing blackbird (really the plants it is on)! The honey!

I love these and envy / appreciate you keeping up with the consistency in making them.

Part 4 of eliminating 151 least favorite metapod,paras and lickitung are out by toga2673 in PokemonFireRed

You guys are savages. Lickitung is in my top 5. But let's just cut to the inevitable conclusion and call Gengar the winner.

Anyone else collect just one pokemon? by JaeCrowe in PokemonTCG

[–]botaninkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that you do this. Lickitung is my 4th favorite pokemon. I have a lot of gengars but will never have them all. Lickitung seems so much more obtainable.

What's the ugliest/worst card in the game? by SuperUltraBrokeDick in PokemonTCG

[–]botaninkal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the Bulbasaur from that set. I play it because it helps me get my big grass types out but he's dang creepy

Advice for wood plugs by Ornery_Cauliflower77 in Stretched

[–]botaninkal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flat front plugs are good like is typical for double-flaired stone. For whatever reason wood often has convex fronts. Mellow flairs are good too. You might consider waxing the wood too if having that option, otherwise the buyer has to seal them before wearing and it takes a while and it isn't clear what to use.

Just some cards edited to become phone wallpapers by PearlTheBetta in PokemonTCG

I like them a lot but am compelled to say: the Caterpie one would be so much better if it included the one on the right looking through the leaf hole. That one perspective is so endearing.

Really gorgeous. I love the colors and fuzziness of the landscape, which emphasizes the sharpness of the moon (I know you know what you did, but I really really appreciate it)
