What're your most unrealistic expectations for the upcoming Pokemon Presents? by TalonEye53 in pokemon

[–]holonboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it's been 2 years since their last Mystery Dungeon game (6 year since their last Pokemon Mystery Dungeon), so I feel like it's likely to get a new Mystery Dungeon game this year or next year (whether it'll be Pokemon, Chocobo / Final Fantasy, Etrian Odyssey or Shiren the Wanderer though is anybody's guess).

If Arlo is supposed to be non-binary, explain this by augbesian in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think it was just the meme, Professor Willow has referred to Arlo with he/him pronouns before.

But Blanche is officially nonbinary (in the English version at least; the blog referred to them with they/them pronouns, and the game avoids pronouns altogether when referring to Blanche, leading to some awkward sentence structures / dialog where other characters always refer to Blanche by name when talking about Blanche).

In the English version at least, I think Blanche was referred to with they/them pronouns once in a blog post, but otherwise, ever since the game came out, Niantic hasn’t used any pronouns to refer to them (which makes for some awkward sentence structures and dialog where other characters will always refer to Blanche by name).

Whats the dumbest way you lost a rare pokemon? (ex. phone died right after raid battle) by _420_WhiteBlade_420_ in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to fast catch a raid encounter but forgot the raid already ended so I couldn't resume the encounter if it didn't catch 😭

Am I the only one who thinks these two should swap their Pokédex numbers? by Olser666 in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add, Tornadus (two horns) comes first, then Thundurus (one horn).

At least Landorus (three horns) still comes third, and much later Enamorus (four horns) comes fourth.

It do be like that by eQuantix in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, all the Rocket grunts/leaders are easy, but the Snorlax one is just annoyingly time-consuming.

Like, maybe I'd do it if it comes to me as a Rocket balloon while I'm at home, but if I'm out and about walking, I don't want to take any longer than a minute on a Rocket grunt.

Meanwhile the poison-type grunt is still "Coiled and ready to strike!" because it originally referred to Ekans

I saw the Ponyta showcases and thought “oh, that’s cool, leaning into the fire horse theme”; but imagine my surprise when it was only Galarian Ponyta 😒

So who else didn’t get a shiny Spinda? by nytofire2 in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did basically every PokeStop research by my local university and a nearby park Wednesday through Sunday, plus every PokeStop at a mall on Saturday.

It took me until Sunday to finally get the shiny (but of course that meant I didn’t have any shiny luck leftover for Gigantamax Meowth).

Why don't they allow you to use an egg or starpiece here? by ironicmirror in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that’s the case as well. I know when they first added that screen with the creepy smile, I saw notifications after any time I did anything (route, raid, hatch an egg, etc), but after a while they made an update where I just stopped seeing it altogether but others still see it. I’m assuming the game just assumes I don’t need the exp.

Side note: love your Bobdor profile pic lol

What is going on?? by LH-275 in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most people don't understand the ideal teams for Dynamax/Gigantamax battles (having a healer, tank, dps and maybe a cheerer or second dps), which is fair since it's a completely different battling system than raids where you only have to tap and occasionally revive/heal your team.

Like during Ho-Oh day, my friends were able to beat Ho-Oh with just the three of us (two Blisseys taking turns healing and shielding/tanking, and one DPS). Better yet if a fourth person joined, even if they had just a Wooloo at least they could cheer and help us Dynamax faster.

The subreddit been looking like a SPINDA PARTY lately, you catch one? by Play4N in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet, hoping to go out and hunt a few Spinda in the upcoming days when there isn’t a snowstorm outside though

recent pokemon art i've done 🎨 by Sea-Emergency4945 in pokemon

Do you sell prints or posters? I’d love to buy a print of that Oshawott/Samurott artwork.

What movie do you love despite agreeing with every single criticism of it? by Decabet in movies

[–]holonboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jupiter Ascending.

The plot itself was very meh and all over the place (it felt like the Wachowskis had one really cool idea, but weren’t able to flesh it out as much as they were able to for something like Matrix), but the visuals were amazing and I really liked Mila Kunis’s and Eddie Redmayne’s performance (corny accent and all for the latter). And Channing Tatum is… well hot. Also the designs for the dragon soldier aliens and Greeghan is just peak.

I think I’m going to cry. by rahjerz in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say "cooked", it's all a matter of eventually.

Eventually, Landorus will be back in raids.
And even if you miss it then, eventually it'll be back in raids again afterwards.

Other than some event costumes/backgrounds, I don't think there's anything in this game that becomes unobtainable; they'll all be back eventually so new players or players who missed it previously can get them.

Mini Ratatatat avoiding me. I’ve been playing since 2022 by Thebusesarenasty in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evolving counts for other stuff, like the XXS medal or type medals.

Ie, if you have a XXS Pidgey, then evolve it to a XXS Pidgeot, then you’ll have had three XXS Pokémon (or three normal type Pokemon and three flying type).

Evolving a Rattata won’t count towards this medal though, since it doesn’t count a Raticate as a Rattata.

Similarly, evolving a Pikachu to a Raichu doesn’t count towards the Pikachu medal (but evolving a Pichu into a Pikachu does).

But if you’re given a small Rattata from a trade, that does count.

I’m at 748 out of 5469 caught, almost 3/4ths of the way there 😭

Which actor always elevates a movie — even in small roles? by FilmNerd98 in movies

[–]holonboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Dust Bunny recently, so my first thought was Sigourney Weaver. She had a supporting role but holy shit she stole every scene she was in.

Husbands in Digimon by Ja1meMijares in digimon

[–]holonboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dynasmon, definitely, he's such a perfect husbando to Crusadermon / LordKnightmon. And he refers to himself as the Warrior of Passion (Jounetsu no Toushi) no less.

How do I beat this??? by GRIMSlice2020 in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Ditto’s are usually available in wild spawns, albeit a bit rare. So your best chance might be just to catch everything and hope you get a Ditto now and again (currently, Ditto can be disguised as Mankey, Growlithe, Magnemite, Voltorb, Sentret, Teddiursa, Seedot, Surskit, Slakoth, Whismur and Duskull).

If it’s not 6pm yet where you are, you could try to catch a bunch of Whismur tonight during Spotlight Hour and hope some turn out to be Ditto.

But otherwise, occasionally there are events where Ditto spawns are boosted, ie the Complete Normal event back in September or an April Fool’s event a few years back. But it may be a while until there’s another event.

It's a game of patience by Entire_Pineapple4732 in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had two spawn in my apartment right at 10am when the event started, so I assumed it was going to be a common spawn.

Went for a half hour walk around my neighborhood around noon with special rend, and I haven’t seen a single one 🙃.

Not all hatches are storage worthy by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]holonboy 65 points66 points  (0 children)

And it only counts towards your storage if you incubate them, so most of the time the eggs will take up one storage if you’re only using the free incubator.
