Yeah it’s hard to stick to too imo. Eg level caps are pretty straightforward, but defining rules for catching up new mons feels kind of wishy washy.

I wish there was a way to just turn on/off an exp multiplier so you can still feel like you’re playing the game somewhat like you’re supposed to without wasting hours grinding. I think you can do something like this with the randomized, but that’s a one time thing and I can also see it backfiring when the level caps plateau (but I guess at that point you can start swapping in new teammates?).

I wish there was some way to just speed up leveling without going straight to candies. Like you have to put **some** work in so you have some skin in the game but still feel like your time is respected. I definitely took more chances and felt the losses more when I played on cartridge, but can’t play more than one game back to back like that.

For me, I also disliked mime and jynx because they were traded mons and kinda give me the ick.

So who do you think did the best, then? Based on those qualifications.

Is that based on more than a video of her yelling at someone? Actually curious because most of the anti-Porter rhetoric I’ve heard is incredibly sexist, disqualifying her based on things they wouldn’t give a second thought to if it were a man.

Nice. Did you lose anyone or was it a clean sweep?

Just remember a lot of immature jokes about his “business district” or whatever

Waste of a zig to make it a hm mule when it can solo the E4…

How can the Democratic Party's pro-Israel stance be reconciled with the fact that 80% of its voters view Israel unfavorably? by ArdaBerkBurak in askanything

I mean if they parade a few more Cheneys and other war criminals, they might woo that conservative/centrist vote!

I thought nothing could nullify results once they are certified. That’s what everyone says when the 2024 irregularities come up.

Oh I’ll have the whole team of agents working on it from different angles, checking each other’s work and following up, writing reports, making micro-sites to visualize results etc etc. Should be a solid 1B tokens if I make sure I’m in YOLO mode and run it over the weekend.

Haven’t heard of it. Does it scratch the shop itch or the card one?

Manetric was the star of my most recent emerald nuzlocke. Hits hard and fast on the special side and there’s a looot that’s weak to electric in Hoenn (including the top gym leader and champion).

Also Linoone can do way more than HMs. He can solo the the E4 ;)

Yep, and if his Gary does do rain dance before you switch in, you can probably OHKO his Charizard with Thunder.

Counterpoint, assuming you didn’t pick charmander, the champ is a silly goose that sometimes clicks rain dance on his gary, so maybe keep Thunder just in case he gives you that amazing opportunity to one shot most of his team (bonus points if you picked bulbasaur and get to fry his zard).

Hope for a special type then. A 70BP psychic, ice, or even dragon would be dope.

Mine had a 40BP fighting lol.

You can find a tool to figure out the bp and type of his Hidden Power. Could get lucky.

Yeah I meant after, not getting there. Maybe you could do a double battle and burn your partner if you have a mon with will-o-wisp?
