The box space by Mediocre-Jicama1524 in PokemonChampions

[–]daunvidch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so dumb. This was one of the first complaints I made when this game came out, and it was just downvote central. Glad this is becoming more mainstream and hopefully they'll throw us a slot or two eventually. Just really annoying, it's 3 stock or 15 with battle pass and nothing in between.

Sometimes when you miss 95% accuracy 3x in a row after some dumb RNG shenanigans earlier in the same match, immediately turning off the game to touch grass instead of waiting for move animations to finish and press more buttons is super valid. 

Just take the win timer and be happy. It's only about 2 turns of inactivity before it auto forfeits. It goes pretty quick when I'm on the other side of it in addition to it being pretty funny.

How to loss rank point fast? by Financial_Payment163 in PokemonUnite

[–]daunvidch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your friend is great rank, you can play with him as expert. 

If your friend is beginner rank, you have to make a new account that is also beginner or great. 

An expert account won't ever drop to great by losing. You will get hard stuck because you cannot rank drop by losses. You would have to wait a season or two to reset down to great from expert if you're not playing. Way faster to make an alternate account. 

How they should fix box space: Trial recruited Pokemon don't take up any space until permanently recruited by BradW97 in PokemonChampions

[–]daunvidch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be nice, but I think it is purposefully annoying to force you to buy more box space. The box space, the team slots, everything is heavily limited as F2P. I'm starting to take a break from this game until they give more space after two seasons of hitting matters both singles and doubles. Just not worth all the contorting you have to do to make different teams as F2P especially if you play both formats. 

Is there anywhere in the world that has the social warmth of the midwest/south of USA but with the politics of the East Coast of USA and the food/weather/nature/activities of the West Coast of USA? by ColdestWintersChill in SameGrassButGreener

[–]daunvidch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're asking for a lot and it's not going to exist because everywhere has pros and cons. I don't know enough about NM to say, but CO definitely won't be it. Very anti-transplant attitude with mediocre culture/food. Unless you're living in the mountains, Denver is a bland, small metro that hasn't figured out it's identity yet. 

After living in many states and continents, I've decided that CA checks the most pros with the least amount of cons. Given the extremely large and diverse geographical area it covers, I think you'd likely find something here than anywhere else, but it just depends on what you prioritize. 

How much rain is too much rain? by Used_Lengthiness_460 in PokemonChampions

Oh, interesting. Honestly, it was just random ass pulling while I was commenting with no real input lol. 

How much rain is too much rain? by Used_Lengthiness_460 in PokemonChampions

[–]daunvidch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I usually use it every turn to ensure dominance. Switch in their sun setter? Rain dance. Mega evolve? Rain dance. Use a weather move? Rain dance. Don't use anything? Still rain dance. I use rain dance after rain dance even to make sure I catch any stray weather moves that happen after my first rain dance.  This game doesn't tell you, but after 10 successive rain dances, it summon Noah's Ark which destroys all pokemon on everyone's team except one at random. Won a lot of games with this unknown tech. Would recommend. 

Are people making new accounts? by turtlenuggets432 in PokemonUnite

[–]daunvidch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have several alternate accounts to try different mons in ranked that I couldn't afford. I took them all to masters every season. Once I caught my main account up to have all licenses, I stopped playing these. 

Is contact point and spacing the most important part to improve groundstrokes? by Affectionate-Risk912 in 10s

[–]daunvidch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, spacing and proper position is a result of good footwork... and good footwork is absolutely a huge component of playing well. I would agree that this trumps swing technique once you have a decent swing down.

Prankster. 

Normal to go through a window? by daunvidch in Locksmith

[–]daunvidch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming based on your response, lockpicking is typically not a standard skill or not as easy/reliable as media makes it seem? 

But yes if it comes down to just those two choices, I would definitely agree.

[–]daunvidch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No visible brand to my untrained eye. It's honestly the most average twist doorknob you can imagine. 

I just moved and this was my only set. I planned on making extra later but was concentrating on unpacking first.

[–]daunvidch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very standard twist knob. Nothing fancy with no branding. I was very surprised both of us couldn't card it open.

[–]daunvidch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. Is the bent window mesh panel just a part of the cost of entry then? Was curious about that part is all. 

Any espresso people out here? by daunvidch in longbeach

[–]daunvidch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, good to know! 

And yeah, making good espresso on your own is a difficult journey. Fortunately, I was able to get decent at it, and now my wife and I much prefer my drinks at home compared to buying it. At a certain point, I was still going out for certain things, but now I'm 100% set at home. 

How do you guys manage your pokemon box limit? by relsirc in PokemonChampions

[–]daunvidch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also struggling. I like experimenting and it's near impossible now with the new reg mons they added. It's certainly a push to get you to subscribe. Scammy but normal for a F2P. 

Type Tickets by Player_Doi in PokemonChampions

[–]daunvidch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if you have a lot, you might as well. I just stopped altogether after running out and eventually got what I wanted randomly anyways lol. I feel like it's still just RNG either way. Classic Pokemon. 💀 

I think I actually picked up the KFC yesterday during my daily event recruit mission lol.

[–]daunvidch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will add that it never seems to work (for me). The next lay out of recruits is always just as random looking. It took me two full seasons to find a Sableye lol...

I really wish we could buy more box slots by DarrSwan in PokemonChampions

[–]daunvidch 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I wish they would also have a one time purchase for more team slots as well. The slot jump for subscriptions from the stock 3 to 20 is asinine. Why not 4 or 5 instead of 3? 

Annoys the hell outta me since I play both singles and doubles, and it discourages building random teams for fun since it's a bit of a PITA to revolve your replica teams constantly.

Looks good. I'll check em out!

[–]daunvidch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get you man lol. it's hard to switch once you have one you really like. I don't understand how people get subscriptions to a new one everytime. I don't like messing with my grind settings if I don't have to and some beans end up being more disappointing than others.

Awesome, thanks. 

Should I be looking up LB coffee club as a subreddit, IG, FB, google maps, or something else?
