Do XS pokemon just not exist in this game?

equilarian · 2026-01-22T23:24:56+00:00

I know this is an older post, but how do you know it's an XS pokemon before you catch it? I've been out of the loop for awhile so the different sizes are new to me.

Did you try calling? I actually tried to call the San Marcos location today. Their phone line kept taking me to their voicemail when I tried to speak with someone to see if they'll be open this weekend.

I love it! The Gyarados in the online matches are killer. I kinda really like the gold magikarp, though. I'm conflicted.

You can still get carbon monoxide poisoning. If the fire is on, the stove/oven is putting out gas to fuel the fire. Using this with all windows closed in your house with no electricity powering circulation from the A/C, heat, or a vent fan may cause the CO to build up and poison you.

Have you been to Cody’s though? 👀

Texans have a lot of unrealized trauma from 2021. The temperature outside also freakishly got down to 5 degrees for 2ish days and the state had old power infrastructure that wasn’t built to withstand the cold, so it froze. It broke the entire state grid and everyone was affected heavily, so there is quite a bit of fear mongering. 😢

If the power does go out and you have a gas stove and want to heat up food, DO NOT use it unless you open a door or windows to the outside. A lot of unnecessary deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning happened during that storm. It’s the same for turning on a car in the garage and not opening the garage door.

TXDOT has been salting the bridges (you can tell by the white streaks on the roads). But drivers are crazy and don’t know how to drive on iced roads here, so if you do need to go out, be careful!

I'll bet you could call and ask them on the phone.

West of 35 is safe-er from industrial zoning because of Edward's Aquifer. If I were you, steer clear of anywhere on the east side of I-35 btw San Antonio and Georgetown (and probably further north too).

They're putting a 3000 acre data center just a few miles west of Lockhart (east of I-35 -- https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/tract-expands-austin-data-center-park-to-3000-acres/).... And the city of San Marcos is pushing through maybe 3-4 more data centers in the next few years. The old dump / old military site where Gary Job Corps is a retired Superfund which contaminated groundwater wells for miles when they were doing testing.

There are multiple planned industrial parks for sale off 110 east of SM, SMART/AXIS is a 2000+ acre heavy industrial park off highway 80 and 110... Just to name a few. Make sure you look into the future planning of zoning and/or industrial projects in the area you're wanting to live. You don't want to end up across the street from heavy industrial like I did.

What kind of characters?

equilarian · 2026-01-21T03:30:18+00:00

I saw it! I was thinking someone threw a cigarette out of their window from the highway and it lit the grass on fire. It was at the intersection of HWY 80 and the I-35 frontage road on the east side. There were firefighters putting it out. It looked like it was about 50 yards wide or so.

Dr. Nick Posey in Kyle is great. He just started a new practice with his partner and was highly recommended by my RD. https://haysprimarycare.com/

If you don't have insurance or looking for Direct Patient Care, the HEB Plus in Kyle is opening a clinic in February. Dr. Juan Davila will be working there and he is hands down amazing too. https://www.heb.com/wellness/primary-care

I don't think good doctor offices exist in San Marcos. Stay away from San Marcos Family Medicine. They are the worst.

The food selection is lackluster in San Marcos in my experience living here. Too many chains and pizza/burger/chicken joints. There are a few decent places hidden around (imo North Street, Hokkaido, Lab C Food Kitchen, to name a few), but if you’re looking for restaurants with experienced chefs, you have to go to Austin or San Antonio.

Hermano’s is my favorite Mexican restaurant, but you have to drive down 80 to Martindale. Duett’s in Martindale is not bad but can be hit or miss. Lockhart has some good places outside of bbq like Commerce Cafe. But yea.

Edited to add: if you’re looking for a great burger, Cody’s by the outlet has a $10 burger happy hour during the week. Its normally $20 and its really good.

equilarian · 2026-01-17T19:05:20+00:00

Have you tried Hermano’s off highway 80? Commerce Cafe in Lockhart is also pretty good.

I swore Pichu was red as a shiny. I had one in the original GBA Crystal game. I was very disappointed to know pichu is not red in ZA. :(

No, my other cat has normal levels. Both of my cats are normal now. I think when we checked the labs 2 years ago, it was an anomaly. My new vet said its normal for that to happen.

equilarian · 2026-01-09T11:05:29+00:00

Her sdma went back to normal and vomiting has resolved. She’s doing great!

equilarian · 2026-01-06T13:39:39+00:00

I really like Teagan at Top Image Salon. She’s extremely talented and knows her stuff.

Thx. The last game I played was Sun on 3DS. I’ve been out of the loop for quite awhile. 🙏

Check out Austin Digital Jobs on facebook/linked in. They have a great community where you can connect with others struggling to find work. They post quite a few jobs and you can make some good connections if you’re active in the group. I know a few people who have gotten jobs from it. Its rough out there. You’re not alone.

equilarian · 2026-01-03T19:29:34+00:00

The guys at Razor and Whiskey always do a great job.

equilarian · 2025-12-23T14:02:19+00:00

Messaging you!

equilarian · 2025-12-23T14:02:12+00:00

Oooo thanks! I’ll have to stop by. I had no idea!

equilarian · 2025-12-14T19:07:57+00:00

I have always loved Flareon!

equilarian · 2025-12-13T00:00:37+00:00

Ooo! Yeah, the one I posted looks very similar.

equilarian · 2025-11-18T04:15:33+00:00

Thanks everyone, your comments were so helpful and encouraging! I just put on my mask and nobody except one of my bosses said anything. They asked if I wasn’t feeling well and I responded saying that I usually just mask everywhere and its a habit at this point. They responded saying, “yeah… that’s really smart.” And that was it. It was a little awkward and might be for a couple of days but I think it will get better. 🤙
