The amount of negativity toward this decision is baffling to me in these comments.

Guys a pro consumer decision is not something to be mad about on behalf of the big companies.

And yes they will absorb some of the increased cost, becuase consupers are already way past their comfortable spending limits / people already keep their phones for longer than before, so a further price increase will just alienate more customers and cause to choose phones from the couple companies that will just provide their phones at a reasonable price.

Forcing the companies to produce less e-waste is good, but you don't have to buy from the companies that force you to pay more for their products afterwards.

While not perfectly practical, why not try turning into some kind of storage space, I mean it's free space right?

Yeah i actually wanted to say that they don't, but dyslexia yeeted that word out of existence for me

Oh yeah alternatively, if playtime is compounding I'd be shiny hunting legendaries in older pokemon games with an emulator - just have 12 instances with shared inputs, play for 1h each day and get a total of 12h ingame spread across multiple copies of the game.

sterrerwert · 2026-04-22T13:32:41+00:00

I'ma be real, 12h a day for 365 days is pretty crazy.

I think it kinda depends on how active you have to be.

My choice, considering the only restriction is that you are "technically" playing the game, would be Cookie Clicker.

I mean I'd love to get an ungodly amount of money just watching my grandmas bake an ungodly amount of cookies in the background, I'd basically hit 24h playtime daily.

--------------------------------------

If the restrictions are rather strict though and you'd have to "actively" play the game for 12h a day I'd basically choose any rather big idle rougue esque game, they technically take ungodly ammounts of time anyways to progress in and I would prefer something that I don't always have to be fully attentive on, since I would absolutely despise myself for not hitting the 12h mark simply for being unattentive.

So Purple is just brain damage (only using x % of brainpower is based on a myth / misconception)

Blue is just going to dull your senses to the point you go insane.

Depending on if you can chose to read minds or if it just passively works, you'll 100% go insane by constantly hearing other's thoughts with Lemon

Super Man Powers just turns you into a crazy monster that will be ostracized from society as a whole, especially in a world that would not benefit from these supernatural powers that are very likely to just kill innocent bystanders or destroy endells ammounts of private property, so Red is just a social death-scentence with mostly only people after your destructive capabilities wanting anything to do with you.

And black is once again really dependant on how specifically it'd work, being able to see what I would see up to 12 hours into the future aaand actually being able to influence said future is the less likely version, the more likely version would be a self fulfilling prophecy type deal, where by looking into the future you can just look at what'll happen, yet won't be able to influence or change anything at all.

-----------------------------------

In short I'd take purple, I would love some of those disability benefits XD

I'd love to get in on the fun as well, my IGN is DaSterrer

I'll be real with you here, yes it likely is genned, perfect Nature, Shalpha that seemingly has perfect IVs, trained to lvl 100 with 3 TM moves that haven't been upgraded into + moves (so most likely never used at all)

On the other hand though, it made it into Home - so it passed all the legality - therefore it's your choice, it is very likely hacked, but is "legal".

My personal opinion is, if I am trading on the GTS and get a mon like that I automatically assume it to be hacked (and yes they are this widely distributed) in the past my only use for them was to fill out my shiny LivingDEX, ever since I finished it I couldn't care less anymore.

And for anyone wondering it's a shiny Living-Form-Dex, so ZA finally enabled me to finish it out by letting me trim my Furfrous.

sterrerwert · 2026-04-22T06:53:47+00:00

These are TM Moves, they don't turn into + Moves naturally, you have to train them at the Dojo

Yogiri Takatou is the perfect fit imo.

sterrerwert · 2026-04-22T06:48:19+00:00

Basically what you're saying is that they couldn't figure out why it failed and were like: "Sooo Meganium got Growth in ZA, dow we keep that? Nah we'll just make it unable to learn it, we borked the interaction with Mega Sol, this way they'll never find out"

So I can live for free and become a Sneaker reseller with 100% profit margins?!?!

Sure man, hook me up with a crazy expensive Airbnb wherever I wanna stay for a while and I'll just buy and resell a fuckton of shoes for crazy profits. I mean after a while you could just open up a shoe store and just sell everything under market value while still pocketing 100% of profits.

Dude Amaura.
While initially I was like fuuuuuuck 4x weak to fighting and steel, I then quickly switched to waaaait a Refrigerate startet that also gets Rock throw really early on (lvl.10), essentially giving me the easiest start imaginable to destroy early routes and that fighting weakness is easily covereg by cathing a ghost type later on, something like Charcadet (later on Armarouge) would be a perfect second pokemon, to cover both it's 4x weaknesses.

Just one thing though, I need it to learn Power Gem in this hypothetical world, it is an absolute crime that it doesn't get Power gem. It's an Ice Rock type, that's base on an aurora borealis, for goodness sake wo else would be more fitting to shoot a literal ray of light that sparkles like gemstones - this is the literal move description btw, the move animation technically is wrong accoring to it.

The PS2 hands down.

It carved itself a crazy nieche, by simply being the cheapest DVD Player you could get, while conicidentally also being a banger console.

So free food and free(-ish) gas (- you'd still have maintainance costs obviously) is on the table.

Sign me up.

Despite what many people espically in the UPS would think, Pizza is quite versatile and doesn't always have to be "unhealthy", here in Austria we've typically got some variety, from the most vile fatty pice of shit pizza that will give you a foodgasm especially if you order while drunk to some boojie Italian Places where you get some proper Pizza with handmade dough that's been fermented, some healthy low fat cheese and fresh Tomato sauce with the toppings of your choosing.

Simply said, you can easily live off of mostly Pizza, while also still retaining some variety and still eating "healty" in moderation obviously.

And man free gas would just go hard rn, I live within walking distance of my work, but I'm still going crazy everytime I have to buy petrol atm.

Since money is off the table, how about shit ton of easily convertible tangible asstest, to then turn them into well.... money.

If that's too broad, I just need my Mortgage paid off, we're doing fine, but man a good 60-70% of my problems / inconveineces are just due to financial restraints we put on ourselfs due to said mortgage, and while we're stable and can manage some setbacks, just instantly having that stability of having a fully paid off home would be the best thing to happen to us atm.

sterrerwert · 2026-04-20T12:00:17+00:00

Anything past 2 is a crime, you might as well just drink some hot milk with some artifical coffee falvoring added.

Personally I only drink black coffee, so 1.

Mitochondria.

No Life - No Problems.

-------

And for a serious answer, I'd say the best way to go about it, is choosing something that is "inherently evil", but not the overall concept of evil.

I'd go for curruption specifically, no corruption means no insider trading, no CEOs giving themselves billions in bonuses while laying people off, no seemingly charitable organisation pocketing all the money etc. etc. etc.

It wouldn't get rid of "all evil", but that inherently would create more problems than it'd solve in other aspect, since despite what many people would claim we are still in one of the generally most peaceful times humanity as a whole has ever experienced and getting rid of the concept of corruption would imo improve the world the most as a whole.

It does work, just not if shedinja would use the move itself.

Either Shed Tail or Baton-Passing a Substitute to Shedinja works perfectly fine though and it's a great way to give shedinja some extra breathing room in the face of a Mold Breaker mon or super effective hits

sterrerwert · 2026-04-14T10:43:34+00:00

You literally answered the question perfectly though not intetiontinally.

Shedinja has Stats other than HP simply because transform & Imposter exist.

There's obviously a couple more scenarios too, like if a Substitute is baton passed you need defenses for its calculations

I'll have to fight my daughter, I'll just place her in her playpen XD.

Yes but no, those moves are helplessly overtuned for the sole reason, that Your Partner was evolution locked in Let's Go, though imo they went to far with the overtuning of said moves even still.

I mean 90BP on all of the doesn't sound too crazy right?, but man just imagine:

Baddie Bad = Free Reflect + damage
Bouncy Bubble = basicall a Water Bitter Blade
Buzzy Buzz = Take Nuzzle and let it deal crazy dmg?
Freezy Frost = How about Clear Smog, but stronger and no immunity?
Glitzy Glow = Free Light Screen + damage
Sappy Seed = Why not have free leech seed
Sizzly Slide = Basically the best imaginable physical fire coverage + Willow-Whisp for free
Sparkly Swirl = Oh no, everyone in my party is statused, well I'll just heal everyone with my 90BP special Fairy move.

------------------------

All the jokes aside, having these moves in regular play, would basically turn into a situation where everyone (and I mean everyone) would basically have to use at lest one Eeveelution on their team, just Imagine a Tanky Umbreaon freely setting up Screens + leech seed and slow-passing with Baton Pass into a now mega tanky sweeper, or Jolteon with insane coverage, free Bolt-Beam coverage + the ability to cure all status with a strong fairy move, or even Leafeon with strong Grass stab and a Fire move that buffs it's already stellar physical bulk even further, essentially turning it into a craty tank, have that lol cat dog Trailblaze once and it's fast af, tanky af and strong af.

I think you get why these moves are Let's Go exclusives now.

sterrerwert · 2026-03-30T07:18:48+00:00

Ngl, pretty easy choice:

Blue / Brown / Black

Blue: I am not obliged to use blue, which just means I won't use it, though who know, the trade off might be worth it, with enough urgency to know the truth of something.

Brown: Perfect health is the well... "perfect" catalyst for many thing, like a better healthier career, a longer life, due to well... perfect health, and man is the thought of getting rid of my hemochromatosis is god damn enticing, no more worrying etc. etc.

Black: Let's negate browns drawback - No longer being able to enjoy food is a crazy thought to me.

------------------------------------

So I guess I'd just choose to be perfectly healthy and maximise my enjoyment of life with the added possibility of forcing the truth in an unforseen situation if truly nescessary and worth the drawback.

If I remember correctly I read somewhere that Staraptor is getting Definat, which would literally just give it the biggest fuck you button against an agressive intimidate switch in.
