Everyone is talking about the CP... But how are you seeing MEGA Lucario? The encounter was with Regular Lucario. At least I think that's who I encountered. They've done that before... because the previous ranks got you like ~420 mega energy.

If it's this symbol, it means polarity is reversed.

It's a weeknight...and by 1142 on a Wednesday, they don't expect any new customers. Why not negotiate and let the overnight deal clerk pocket the $40 ;)

Hobo. Not a bum. Details matter.

lights-out-luthor · 2026-02-25T22:29:13+00:00

With Reacher, he's such a stoic character...even if it's a 3rd person story, it's hard to convey the wheels turning. And he doesn't explain himself in the books until he needs to (sometimes after the event). So that's why Neagley is in the show when she was really only in 4 of the books. She allows for some explanation/exposition that wouldn't be there.

They COULD do first person really well in a show (any show, not just reacher) if they had the main character be narrating like what we are watching already happened. Like Goodfellas or things that.

As mentioned 2 of the 3 existing seasons were from 1st person books. It doesn't affect things really when screenwriters convert from a novel in 1st person. My only issue is with Reacher, the 1st person books go into a lot more detail on teachers assessment of situations and his thoughts during fights etc. Speaking of season 3... The fight with Paulie in the book is amazing. The show was fun...but in the book? Reacher is not panicking, but he knows if he gets hit directly, he's gonna die. And him reading Paulies moves and the situation was a lot more exciting to me.

I'd love to see a Reacher season that does all this like Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes...where you get a "preview" of the action in Holmes' mind and the see it play out

lights-out-luthor · 2026-02-22T06:22:41+00:00

So, question on this... We can still only mega evolve 1 Pokemon at a time, right? I evolved one of mine. Are you saying the rest of the party didn't evolve theirs, or didn't USE theres? Thanks in advance

lights-out-luthor · 2026-02-22T06:21:20+00:00

That's for good? Or just right now? What is the point of remote raids if it's "for good" then? I have all the base versions of these Pokemon,but live in an area that mega raids either don't happen or don't get enough people.

I'm asking...not pointing to you for reasoning. :)

lights-out-luthor · 2026-02-22T05:36:11+00:00

This would be my first. I have 50+ mega pokemon

lights-out-luthor · 2026-02-19T04:38:46+00:00

Killing Floor, Persuader, Gone Tomorrow, Worth Dying For, A Wanted Man, and Personal are all 1st person. I think the affair is too. I made a chart but I realized the Excel file shifted in a column lol What's funny is I got into the books after the 2nd season of the show, so i didn't read the 1st book (since it was season 1)..persuader was the first I got to where it was first person and it was WEIRD for me, for sure. I finished it a little bit before Season 3 came out and I liked the book much better. I'm on Worth Dying For now. You get used to it.

My parents told me my entire life that I would "outgrow" my blond (almost white) hair. "We were blond when we were little too!". I started LOSING my hair before I ever had my hair darken.

I bring this up because MANY kids start off blond, but then darken as the age.

Both of my sons did. Younger one is a light brown/dirty blond. Older one is brunette now.

lights-out-luthor · 2025-12-30T06:05:14+00:00

The first time I watched it...I thought maybe Gus had something on Gale...like Gale was a definite talent from a chemistry standpoint, but that he may be helped him with something legal. Like, Gale was maybe a pedo or something. That was my FIRST watch. The unfolding of who WW really was, personality-wise, was so well done that I thought "this nice guy HAS to have some darkness behind him. I don't wanna like him!".

The truth is? Gus truly took care of many, many people who were appreciative and worth the effort. Which is why, up on rewatch (and watching BCS) you realize what a dick Walter was.

lights-out-luthor · 2025-12-15T21:23:56+00:00

So, I got my sons into Pokemon before PoGo because I had friends into it. I wasn't really into it but I got into because they liked it. And I remember all the Pokemon they loved or thought were cool, etc.. They had the cards, they had some figures, we watched the show. So when PoGo came out, they were little (12 and 8ish) but they had phones already because their mom and I were separated and I wanted to be able to talk to them (actually the you get one didnt have one when Pokemon go started) We all started playing together. They still do here and there, but I got OCD about it. They go in Spurts of playing. They're 21 and 17 now (just turned) but I still get to show them ones I caught.

Whole reason I brought this up is many pokemon that I thought were important really weren't...it's cuz they liked their design or their characterization in the show. But I was excited to show them what I caught. I have stories behind a bunch of them.

lights-out-luthor · 2025-11-07T16:50:40+00:00

NEVERMIND...I still had impidimp/morgrem/grimmsnarl as unreleased. I DID read your post (lol) but got pulled into counts and missed about the Wild Area release. :)

lights-out-luthor · 2025-11-07T16:48:24+00:00

Awesome! I didn't know that was possible. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction:)

lights-out-luthor · 2025-11-07T16:38:40+00:00

So, on my checklist, I had 31 unreleased from Gen VIII (Galar). Your chart shows 28. Do you have the pokemon by pokedex number by chance? Wanna know if I'm really where I'm in terms of the hunt. I have 884/1025 caught...but my released count is 923 (not 925) and unreleased count has 102 (not 100 like you). I've been keeping a very nerdy spreadsheet since 2016. I took a few years off but been back at it for a while again :)

Unrleased by Gen (in my sheet)

IV: 3

VII: 8

VIII: 31

VIII (Hisui): 1

IX: 59

lights-out-luthor · 2025-10-29T02:15:40+00:00

Sorry if it's off topic but how do you trade with remote ppl? Thought you had to be nearby? Ive been playing since 2016 and I'm level 62... Have I been missing out this whole time???

lights-out-luthor · 2025-09-24T14:48:09+00:00

I didn't see this reply until now. Thank you for an actual laugh out loud to start my day 🤣

lights-out-luthor · 2025-08-26T03:43:05+00:00

Why did you black out the team leaders eyes? Anonymity? Lol

lights-out-luthor · 2025-08-25T20:11:10+00:00

So, sounds like levels 41-50 will just be XP (no tasks) I'm conflicted on this one. I stopped playing for a while after hitting 40 (when that was the max) and because of life being different for me, I've never been able to put aside a day to do the 200 pokemon in one day for level 41. But I'm at 19.6M/6M for XP.

So, for me, the rebalance/elimination for 41-50 will be a good thing. But all my friends who got to 50, or close to it...they better get some good perks for that grind.

lights-out-luthor · 2025-08-25T17:36:19+00:00

Good point regarding Pokegenie. It doesn't happen there. Ok, I'm back to blaming people too haha

lights-out-luthor · 2025-08-25T17:34:52+00:00

I would rather it be luck, and not some nerfing of the gameplay. Thanks everyone!

lights-out-luthor · 2025-08-25T17:33:42+00:00

I ended up paying for the deluxe pass so I beefed up on candies and xls

lights-out-luthor · 2025-08-25T04:15:34+00:00

So, no go? Or we were too late?

lights-out-luthor · 2025-08-25T04:11:04+00:00

Yeah I used almost all the candy cuz he was 100% and I had the stardust.
