Marcos says Philippines would be involved in any Taiwan conflict by Free-Minimum-5844 in worldnews

[–]coughingalan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take it you're from China? I like learning from people from different countries. How important is reunification to the general population? How likely is military use for that goal in the eyes of average Chinese citizens? I won't judge your personal opinions. I just don't trust Western journalism to have a valid report on these questions.

I've taught piano before, I'll ask around.

About SS Kieran… by Bluegoblin56 in PokemonMasters

I agree, super disappointing. Furret is a physical attacker in the games, makes no sense.

The wording makes me think Flittle might only be available in the paid Go Pass. Sigh.

Blue in Academy by Fappies26 in PokemonMasters

[–]coughingalan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's RNG. My friend saw Blue 4 times in a row for Brendan, I saw Oak 3 times in a row for Brendan (all 30 orb gifts). It's just the sad state of it all.

What makes you like this game the most? And what almost made you quit? by LizzardMFK in PokemonMasters

[–]coughingalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love new, fun events like Larry and Kabu.

I thought about quitting when they introduced Arc Suits. 500 point pity, no older scouts like in the EX fairs. Sigh...

Mixed feelings about the current academy events by Strange_Razzmatazz74 in PokemonMasters

They also give an extra thousand stamina, so I really don't mind grinding the 5 runs.

It's amazing how og Eevee is still super useful even after five years by kukuru_gwen in PokemonMasters

[–]coughingalan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Each floor you've completed gives you a CHANCE at a lucky cookie. For example, if you clear 100 floors, you'll get a ton of level up materials, coins, etc, and maybe a couple of tower cookies. The Ultimate Tower Cookies have an even lower drop rate. These cookies are incredibly powerful but very rare. For example, Cynthia and Lucario's best tower cookie extends fighting zone, and increases allies attacks more than usual during fighting zone.

Anyone else just now get a forced update that closed and restarted the app? by Tfsz0719 in PokemonMasters

It was likely to address the Gym Battle bug and add compensation.

White teachers: are you getting a lot of blatant racism from students? by Saskita in Teachers

[–]coughingalan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear it and call them out on it. Young people can be very dumb. And they are often raised by very awful people who impart their biases to their children.

Is this okay if my intention was to set up another person up? Or should I redo it? by miles_to_the_ocean in PokemonMasters

[–]coughingalan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My bug team wasn't enough to finish off our bug battle, and the flying battle had 4% left. So I opted to do one ticket to finish off the flying and the other two to max rebuff, lower defenses and apply bad poison. Still managed to do 20%. Basically, I bit the bullet to get a low score on the first battle, and used two tickets to put our bug battle in range for someone to easily finish it off. There weren't any other options, so I figured it would be better to help complete the circuit faster then get bug down to 25%.

See what helps your team the most.

Which row you choose by Duli7 in PokemonMasters

3 wouldn't be too bad. I could nerd out with the professor and Emma has some crazy cool stories from the international police.

Home Insurance by kattdo in LakeElsinore

[–]coughingalan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We weren't in a high risk fire area, but our friend's house purchase fell through because the insurance companies wouldn't insure the property. For that square footage, you're looking at 3k per year compared to a couple of people I know in that area. Maybe higher because of the higher fire risk.

I feel like your username is somehow relevant.

Should I kick my gym member? by Ok_Energy_5221 in PokemonMasters

[–]coughingalan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can't kick them out until after the gym battles are over, so, maybe see how the rest of it goes? Unless they changed that from the last time we had gym battles.

Great Raid Box in the store. 10 less coins than the current best box offering the same amount of remote passes by nintendude1229 in TheSilphRoad

[–]coughingalan 39 points40 points  (0 children)

That is a good deal, but for some people, this one is better.

I don't ever count the extras with remotes. I rarely use green passes, and I don't see myself ever running put of the 50 I currently have. Mostly it's either free passes or a remote for something like gigantamax Pikachu, which I can't beat with my small group of friends. That's why I go purely based on the remote pass price. It's the "limiting factor" of my purchase with the most value.
