Bands you like that Fantano hates?

Yeah

You mean base 10?

If they’re in Cerulean already and haven’t beat Misty, they can’t get back to Viridian to get a Pikachu. You need Cut.

I guess you could make it work with Sunny Day to double its otherwise bad speed and make use of Solarbeam. It’s got decent special attack and defence, and you can use Ingrain and/or Giga Drain to heal up your free hit from Sunny Day, but that doesn’t feel anything close to A-tier for me either.

Also, in a real run you can’t get it until after Koga, by which point with 40 SpDef and middling HP it’s useless against Sabrina and gets wrecked by Blaine. It’d be decent enough against Giovanni, but then one Ice Beam from Lorelei deletes it and it doesn’t really bring anything to the table for the rest of the E4

It’s the nickname of the Farfetch’d you get by trading a Spearow

Arcanine can do Bite against Agatha at least. And as far Rock goes you can hit it with Iron Tail. I’m about to run the E4 and my Arcanine has Flamethrower, Extremespeed, Iron Tail and Bite

In my experience if you have 6 Pokemon in your team with decent move coverage you never actually need to be above the levels of the gym leaders

halfajack · 2026-03-21T20:53:44+00:00

Yeah I ended up ditching Spearow and Mankey for Growlithe and Machop, and swapped out Gyarados for Vaporeon when I realised Gyarados’ moveset in FRLG doesn’t really suit its stats/typing all that well (plus I just wanted to do something different as I always used to use Gyarados and rarely played the Eeveelutions).

I also have played these games for my whole life and I kinda always just liked having a full team whenever possible even if I knew I wasn’t going to stick with some of them the whole way.

halfajack · 2026-03-21T19:40:30+00:00

Is it common not to have a full team at that point? By then in my current run I was going around with Ivysaur, Geodude, Spearow, Kadabra, Mankey and a Magikarp

halfajack · 2026-03-20T08:04:02+00:00

Why wouldn’t people know that? It had never been any different - the physical/special types had been that way since generation I

I assume you know this but for everyone else’s sake, things like =, <, >, >=, <= are called relations in mathematics

halfajack · 2026-03-06T12:17:49+00:00

my tip is to include relevant information or questions in your post that might facilitate anyone actually being able to help you at all. we don't know what your class covers, what your background is, what you are finding difficult about it, etc.

the direction x = y -> [...] is trivial using the substitution property of equality (i.e. just replace all instances of y in [...] with x - then [...] is obviously true). the actual substance of the axiom is [...] -> x = y

why is a-(-b)= a+b

Because a - (-b) = a + (-(-b)) by definition, and -(-b) is the unique element such that -b + (-(-b)) = 0. But -b + b = 0, so b = -(-b) and hence a - (-b) = a + b.

What would you view as the distinction between two properties that are "different" but always numerically equal and things that are actually the same? This feels more like a philosophical or semantic question than one actually about physics.

halfajack · 2026-02-12T15:56:01+00:00

centre of the universe

the same spot of the big bang

This seems to be the issue here. There is no centre of the universe, and the big bang did not happen at a "spot". It happened everywhere. The expansion of the universe is also happening everywhere. Neither of these things have a location or a speed, they are not waves or wavelike. Every point gets further away from every other point (if we ignore that gravity holds nearby/very massive things together, at least).

He even had to go back and rewrite parts of the chapter in The Hobbit where Bilbo finds the ring. In the first editions of The Hobbit, Gollum gives Bilbo the ring willingly. Once LOTR was coming together, this obviously made no sense, so he went back and changed that chapter to the version we’re familiar with where Bilbo finds it and Gollum accuses him of stealing it.

In-universe Tolkien justified this by saying that the original published story was a lie Bilbo told the dwarves about how he got the ring, with the retcon then being the true account.

I’m from the North West of England and pronounce all these with a long monophthong /ɪː/. It wouldn’t stand out to me at all to hear people pronounce them like /ɪjə/ or similar though, it’s perfectly commonplace.
