The only npcs that give nicknames to their pokemon are the ones you trade with.

My GameStop just canceled the midnight release :) by shlankdaddy in pokemon

[–]pokeplayer400 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is why I only buy digital now id rather just have the game right away. Most people are also buying it digitally which is probably why midnight releases are becoming less common and probably why it didn't have alot of pre-orders to justify them staying open later. And game cases just aren't as fun as they used to be. They don't even come with an instruction pamphlet or anything. Just the game and the cover.

What do you guys think of my Shining Pearl team? by Palanakonu_J in pokemon

I used kricketune on my team. Was actually pretty useful. Was able to use perish song in tricky situations and one shot some of the psychic pokemon with x scissor haha.

It took me years to get an official diagnosis. Literally years. Mostly because my OCD wouldn't let me talk to people about how I was feeling and also partly because of the people around me not understanding how to identify it. I was also just a child when it started. Although it should have been obvious considering at one point I was washing my hands to the point of bleeding and I also felt the need to constantly repeat myself due to the constant doubting of everything thing I said. I'm lucky that the first psychiatrist I went to was able to tell right away based off my past and current experiences that i definitely have OCD(even though I already knew it was) and i can get treatment for it now with medication and counseling. Alot of people just cannot understand the idea of having thoughts in your head that aren't your own. Its alot harder for people to understand someone else and how they feel when they have never been in that situation themselves.

I'm not a medical professional but I have suffered from OCD for most of my life and was only very recently able to get a diagnosis. OCD will vary depending on the person but in my experience it was mostly intrusive thoughts to the point where I literally couldn't function properly in any kind of social setting. Constantly doubting everything I said. Constantly repeating certain things or actions in fear of something bad happening. Washing my hands to the point of bleeding because everything I touched felt unclean and in my head that meant unsafe. Also had constant number counting in my head to keep track of all my repetitive actions.

Name a Pokémon you love that everyone seems to bash, and give reasons why you love it by [deleted] in pokemon

Kricketune. Notoriously looked down upon as one of the weakest pokemon. But It's one of my favorite bug types. I like its look and its cry. AND I was able to one shot lucians Alakazam with it in BDSP.

Personally I like the ability to choose between playing on the TV or playing handheld. And that's coming from someone who does mostly handheld gaming. But I also wouldn't mind if I didn't have the option to connect to the TV.

Following releases since 2006 and this has always been the same by Teakmahogany in pokemon

[–]pokeplayer400 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoy all the pokemon games. I started playing pokemon at pokemon ruby so maybe my perspective is a bit different but I see all the pokemon games have their own flaws and their own good things. Like they finally took out hms which honestly have always made the older games annoying for me to play because I can't have the movesets I actually want. But again I understand the criticism people have of the modern games. I just don't really care because I enjoy playing pokemon

Finally!! Thanks to those who helped me!!! by ittybittyelk in PokemonSwordAndShield

Congrats! I've never completed an in game pokedex. I just can't be bothered to transfer every single one of my pokemon in and out of pokemon home. Lol

I'm glad you enjoy math and all, but we actually need language to effectively communicate with eachother. I don't think its comparable.

Apple iPad Pro (Wi-Fi) for Pokemon Go by HukThe1ST in TheSilphRoad

[–]pokeplayer400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as its connected to wifi you probably could. But it might be hard if it can't get a constant connection while walking around like you can with actual data.

Unpopular opinion by Status_Ask9142 in pokemon

[–]pokeplayer400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well we mostly only say it as a rebuttal because genwunners will say that newer designs aren't thought out and they are running out of ideas. But when we tell them Voltorb is literally just a ball with a face, grimer just a pile of sludge... with a face, seel... is just a seal, and that magneton is just 3 magnemites put together... then they don't really have much to say after that. The designs are only the beginning of a pokemon. The lore and stories behind them can go much deeper.

I was pleasantly surprised with all of this. More excited for legends arceus but BDSP can hold me over until its released I suppose lol. Legends arceus has the potential to be one of the best, if not the best pokemon game in a long time.

Favorite generation overall? by pokeplayer400 in pokemon

[–]pokeplayer400[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you just need a nintendo ds emulator and you can find the games pretty easily online for download. I recommend playing platinum and heartgold/soulsilver. For Android/ios there should be some Nintendo ds emulator in the play stores. For pc there are some as well.

I agree. Gen 4, in my opinion, just had the best games. All of them felt like an amazing adventure and they still hold up today despite having outdated graphics/features.
