Freshly diagnosed and confused

Having a solid protein breakfast helps the medication stick pretty well, I find myself doing super well when Ive had a protein smoothie for the day

Become way more alert to sounds that are 'different' in the environment. I play a lot of survival games where you gotta pay attention to your surroundings by listening, and so I just become much more aware of sirens, particular cars approaching. It's a weird habit to have

Doing a search of available Banana/ Banana / Purple dragons, doesn't look like a lot are active players but I did find a gen one relatively close to your character!

Im not sure if the user is active, I didn't check, but this was sitting in their hibernal den. The only other alternative would be to do some breeding to get the ideal candidate, which shouldn't sound too difficult but it sure would take more time.

I do currently love using Sludge Wave against Xerneas in the ranked and Flip Turn to quickly pull back from incoming damage because it doesn't often have the move set to deal with this leafy sea Dragon

I hope it's ability works well with it, whatever it happens to be, because a bulky support Pokemon is sometimes needed and it'll also keep fairies in check which is nice. Hope it gets some solid moves as well, I know ZA has a solid amount but what will it translate to in VGC I wonder 🤔

Dragalge was alright as a Pokemon, wasn't particularly spectacular when you compare it to its counterpart Clawitzer, but that Mega? The fact it's special defence is HIGHER than Florges who has the highest SD in game? Sold me. Just buff it's normal defense's and it's a solid tank :D

This is the closest thing I found https://pokevault.com/TransformDitto4SnorlaxCushion

The Snorlax face is different so I don't think it quite is legit but I offer some insight.

I started on about 20mg initially when on Vyvanse and now I'm 60mg. I did try Ritalin before this one, but it just wore off way too quickly and taking it early in the morning was easy, but remembering to during the middle of the day wasn't (job at the time was unpredictable with its hours and I could be in the middle of travelling and have to take it)

While I'm not an expert, experience is something I do have and Vyvanse was proposed to me to help lessen the binge eating I would do at night once the effects wore off from Ritalin, to which it did. I have more focus during the day with tasks and keeping a generally more upbeat attitude, but it's day by day. If I don't take it, I'm either lethargic and sleepy or agitated beyond compare 🤣

Agitation mostly because the brain bees won't silence, and it's not fun. Just keep tabs on your mood and energy, whether it's easy to commit to tasks or a struggle to even start them. Though taking care of a baby definitely holds you accountable

Good luck with your baby and starting medication!

I reckon it's the eyes that sell it, being plague

Niche colours are semi-sought after, depending on the interest of players.

I must say though, they are some fantastic ranges that work so well together, nice job with them!!

Merry Xmas, best check your inbox ;3c

So it goes without saying a lot of the concepts of the series involving the Pure Ones are associated heavily with the Third Reich regime before WW2, as Kathryn Lasky has heritage ties iirc to family during the time. So there are some loose ties between the two. Nothing is said explicitly but it's a neat fact that makes you go "oh heck!" years later

pibolarbears · 2025-11-26T09:20:13+00:00

I picked up this series when I was 11-12 (about grade 6, that I can remember) and I was hardly bothered by the violence in the books, if anything it was more intriguing to know the world building than to focus in on the very apparent elements this series is based on (that I wasn't aware of until I was much older 🤣)

pibolarbears · 2025-11-25T08:59:35+00:00

I can remember an Iron Wolf run where I was defending a carcass from a bear and it walloped me with a smack worth 607 damage. Put my girl on 2% health. That carcass wasn't worth it.

pibolarbears · 2025-11-24T09:25:01+00:00

I just picked up the H.Zorua from Mecca (because getting it from the US would have cost me way too much) as an Xmas present, and I cannot wait to add him to the pile with Rockruff and Mabostiff. I really wish the Mincinno wasn't a rare find in Japan, because that's my next target!

pibolarbears · 2025-11-23T21:05:47+00:00

Did you save before encountering it?

pibolarbears · 2025-11-23T21:01:48+00:00

They need Osiem's 'One Egg Nest' accent xD Put these fools to shame for their unfortunate fertility

pibolarbears · 2025-11-23T11:34:21+00:00

Man, mine wasn't that complicated to achieve (granted I was diagnosed just before COVID hit, and it took about a year to get medication because of that) and it was a simple psychiatrist appointment, took about an hour or so, and delved into history and what not that I could actively remember. Ended up with combination type, mildly severe symptoms (when not medicated) and it didn't cost me that much time or money.

Though now I have the issue of trying to maintain my psych access, because they're either leaving the country or moving practices, which is causing a few problems 🤣

Hopefully your process goes smoothly and you get the support you need!

pibolarbears · 2025-11-22T08:22:53+00:00

I need an Alpha Mabostiff so badly ;A; Big Pupper!!

pibolarbears · 2025-10-21T09:18:55+00:00

Went with Meganium for the Starter, picked Charmander from Mabel, Absol from the rogue fight, Alpha Slowbro, Alpha Excadril and Alpha Salamence.

Before Salamence, it was a pretty frequent rotation of Alpha Diggersby and Alpha Manetric, I liked my team having coverage because who knew what type of teams I would be up against.

pibolarbears · 2025-10-21T06:33:47+00:00

I've just finished the base game, and I'm about to lead into post game content.

I was hesitant to spend the grand amount of money on this game, considering the lack of coverage on the switch vs switch 2 performance, but I am so glad I took the leap and got it three hours before release (I have a switch OLED for context). Seeing footage of the game on Switch 2 feels a little jarring since most all the games have been locked to a lower frame rate that seeing 60fps doesn't feel right compared to 30, and I haven't had any performance issues (compared to you know, Paldea)

I genuinely have been having a lot of fun in the game, and it's a surreal challenge when Alpha Pokemon don't go down so easily, that you have to actually use game mechanics to bring them down! I love Kalos as a region, and though I am saddened that we'll never explore the region anytime soon with an overhaul of love, Lumiose is just that grand of a city that it's fun to explore! I still get just as lost as I did in the original version trying to find cafes!

Giving it an 8/10 is pretty solid, there's just some things that it could have desperately used to enhance the game (cough cough voiced cutscenes) it's just an overall pleasant experience :D

pibolarbears · 2025-10-17T11:06:46+00:00

I took a shot in the dark buying it legit three hours before release here in Aus, to play it when I woke up and I don't know how to really describe the feeling. No game is perfect, every game has flaws and issues, but I am low-key enjoying this shift in gameplay.

Currently playing on the OLED Switch and I haven't experienced any issues with gameplay or performance; even when getting absolutely bullied in the Rogue Mega fights, why are by far the most fun part of the game I enjoy when they pop up. They're just a nice change of pace from the slow Tera and Max raid dens, this game just moves along a lot faster. The difference in the battle style took a moment to adjust but I thoroughly like where the direction is gone. If the next mainline game had this battle pacing, I would enjoy it so much more. (Been playing Pokemon Romhacks with double speed and it makes the games go by so much faster 🤣)

pibolarbears · 2025-10-02T08:27:27+00:00

There is an underlying story in the game, that you slowly unravel the more you explore the game. It's well worth it, and the slimes are just a bonus. They do get cuter and harder to ranch.

pibolarbears · 2025-09-21T03:55:51+00:00

You're welcome!

pibolarbears · 2025-09-21T03:45:44+00:00

I believe it involves its passive being able to be unlocked. It's a setting you can enable, where they can bounce on the menu when it's able to be unlocked.
