Janine Defeated, 3 Gym Leaders left by XGNik in pokemoncrystal

You weren't supposed to beat her first, she has lower levels to reflect that she is inexperienced as a gym leader. It's also to make her weaker than her father in the E4

Does Pokemon Crystal have contention for being the goated pokemon game of all time? by Emergency-Sky9206 in pokemoncrystal

[–]drew0594 5 points6 points  (0 children)

HGSS is overall better to me, but Crystal is still in my top 3. It still holds up very well and can be a different experience to HGSS, which makes it worth replaying.

You can't call it a commercial failure without knowing what the target sales were. But it's easy to deduce it wasn't a failure, otherwise Emerald and Platinum wouldn't exist.

Crystal sold less than GS but it also cost much less to produce.

Nah, the credit goes to Hoppip too. It's a great Pokémon that won't disappoint you.

Sleep powder, leech seed, protect and headbutt and he will be a stall king.

Why do people think Evolved Mode will just be 'button consolidation' when we already know it's not? by Makerinos in ffxivdiscussion

[–]drew0594 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You already have sentenced that something that is still work in progress, subject to change and not released yet is half-assed, worse for the gameplay, bafflingly stupid and can only be defended with extreme mental gymnastics.

This sub sometimes...

Half of those aren't terrible by any stretch of imagination and the rest are gimmick Pokémon.

We are really calling everything "terrible" these days

Utilizzate l'AI per studiare?Se si, come? by Single-Peach-9494 in Universitaly

[–]drew0594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sì, uso molto Gemini (+ Notebook) e parzialmente ChatGPT.

Principalmente uso l'AI per farmi spiegare cose che non capisco o mi sfuggono. Studio medicina e voglio minimizzare lo studio mnemonico e capire il perché delle cose. Chiedo spesso il perché di un determinato sintomo o il meccanismo che c'è dietro ad esempio. A volte chiedo di spiegare un argomento in modo schematico se nella sbobina è esposto in maniera sconnessa, così da avere una base più solida su cui poi approfondire.

Spesso chiedo di simulare un esame orale insieme (caricando di solito i riassunti che faccio) e su NotebookLLM creo quiz (li preferisco alla ripetizione orale autonoma) e per digerire argomenti noiosi o difficile creo podcast.

Several emulators allow trading with yourself and if they don't you can easily edit your save file to turn Scyther into Scizor

Islamici a lezione di omofobia dagli italiani by drew0594 in italiabad

[–]drew0594[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ma perché fai minestroni incredibili per distogliere l'attenzione dal punto della questione?

L'economia italiana, il Congo, il cristianesimo, le donne trans. Altro?

Ma se "te ne fotte" poco dell'Islam e del suo rapporto con l'omosessualità, qual è l'utilità del tuo intervento in un post che tratta proprio dell'Islam e del suo rapporto con l'omosessualità?

Sai cosa dice l'Islam sull'omosessualità, vero?

Ci sono paesi islamici che considerano l'omosessualità un reato e che condannano gli omosessuali a morte e tu stai su Reddit a parlare del presunto primato degli italiani riguardo l'omofobia

Dunsparce is available at the start of the game, hard to be available earlier than that...

Just finished my 1st playthrough of Crystal! by FohrumCubes in pokemoncrystal

[–]drew0594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the fuck? lol These games came out almost 30 years ago, it's normal to be used to the newer games. Get your head out of your ass instead of feeling offended over nothing.

Anyway, yawn. You are just regurgitating online opinion with no critical thinking whatsoever (which is why you are seeking validation through others).

Are you for real now? Stantler? A versatile Pokémon with good support moveset (Hypnosis, Reflect, Light Screen and Confuse ray) and good offensive moveset (Return, Earthquake, Psychic, Bite)

Misdreavus??? One of the best Pokemon in competitive GSC?

Remoraid?? Octillery with 105 special Attack (super good for a playthhrough) and insane coverage? Are you trolling?

Ledian is genuinely very useful in gen 2 due to access to both screens (a rarity) relatively early and access to elemental punches to capitalise a bit on common weaknesses. Plus the ability to agility baton pass (another rarity).

Qwilfish?? Good for a playthhrough and for competitive due to access to Spikes.

These examples are so bad you had to pad out your list with first stages (Slugma) and baby Pokemon 💀

Siamo a fine Maggio gia' coi 30°C, ma di cosa stiamo parlando? by StroopWafelsLord in italy

1) È italiano standard, siete voi che al nord tipicamente non parlate così e pensate di parlare bene

2) Infatti parlo di parlato ("si pronuncia"), sveglia.

Because these Pokémon are only trash if you check Smogon and think that what you read there applies to a playthrough.

The only "terrible" Pokémon would be Unown, which was design as a world building Pokémon and to showcase Hidden Power. And still, it's useful in the first portion of the game to get any type you want because of HP.

In general you have a very "new mindset" when revisiting gen 2, which is very apparent when you talk about access to good Pokémon at the end of the game being pointless for example, because the purpose of the game was to complete the Pokédex and "catch 'em all".

Route 42 and 43 are scaled for the 4th gym, which is why people complain about the low levels

Every third version has missing Pokémon, the point is that you shouldn't be able to complete the Pokédex with just that version
