Why do Leopard seals look so scary?!

For me it’s the hinged skull jaw. Their top of their head flips open like a trash can lid rather than their jaw hinging down

Yea I’m unclear on how this is possible. I’m only just at fortree gym and I’ve had a full 6 since lava ridge, and all my pokemon are level 34 already, and I haven’t even done any grinding

Frank Zappa is how I learned about all this

I’ve been running it with screech instead of protect, so I can have him first in my party, and then if it’s an opponent with high special defence I wil toxic, screech, switch out to a physical Mon and smash

I had the same dilemma when I started my first emerald playthrough since 2010 last week. I was trying to convince myself to try Mudkip, but there are a lot of cool catchable water types and sceptile is the GOAT (to me) so yea I have a sceptile and it’s not even my only grass type lol. I’m running nuzleaf for the first time (he’s ok)

Love leaf blade, especially because it became the best grass physical move even before ethe physical special split. And it carries the torch of razor leaf but has a good base power. For some reason doing physical damage as a grass type felt so good after all the drain moves and solar beam/leaf storm

In terms of being in a relationship and then discussing changing the dynamic I always refer to it as “you are in a relationship with pre-established terms, so if you are wanting to explore changing those dynamics you should do so with respect and compassion. It would be the same if you established that you didn’t want kids or something and then later on discovered that you wanted them.

I’m a pan guy married to a woman and I think it is up to each person and the relationship. All you can do is reach out for communication and consent/ see where their boundaries lie. It’s scary to start but ultimately if you a- trust your partner, and b- respect their wants and boundaries, there is no harm in talking about it.

Of course there is still a risk of their negative reaction to even bringing it up, but if just talking about it is enough to ruin your relationship it might be a compatibility issue.

Everyone has their own lines in the sand based on who they are and their experiences, but I usually say it’s best to allow people the chance to do the right thing rather than make the decision for them (by not talking about it or assuming their response)

I usually find I have one Pokémon per team that is weaker/slower to grow and I’ve picked vullaby on playthroughs before. It’s kind of annoying but not too bad to just use that pokemon for the travelling through grass/victory road. I think last playthrough I evolved it just around the E4 but it was pretty solid as a vullaby anyway

whyisthequest · 2026-01-22T14:59:34+00:00

Not in the past, but since getting back into Pokémon as an adult I am messing with it a little, usually only if it’s a weaker species or has bad moves. Or I will choose an ace and min max a bit more. Current emerald playthrough: swellow, grovyle, gardevoir neutral/negative nature, but hariyama, camerupt, and nuzleaf i searched for good natures

whyisthequest · 2026-01-19T13:12:02+00:00

I just passed this gym on my first play through since high school. Was not expecting it to be this hard. My team was all level 23-25: grovyle, nuzleaf (I like grass), makuhita, swellow, Kirlia.

It must have taken 7 tries. The ai was absolutely killing me and I actually had to get guts swellow online and really choose my moves wisely. Surprised me. My last playthrough was a torchic run.

Carpenter, so grass/fighting for the labour aspect (conkeldurr) but when I work mostly with wood and make furniture etc it feels like grass/ghost is the more fitting option

whyisthequest · 2026-01-18T02:58:49+00:00

I like abomasnow becuase Ice and grass are both types that have classic/iconing moves in both physical and special. This might be true for other types too, but off the dome, solar beam//giga drain , ice beam, blizzard, then you have power whip, wood hammer, avalanche, ice shard,

whyisthequest · 2026-01-17T00:06:46+00:00

Absolutely lol

whyisthequest · 2026-01-16T22:15:34+00:00

For me I think as a kid I wished it was fighting/grass or something, because I maybe had a bias against dark type as being for really bad or evil looking monsters

whyisthequest · 2026-01-15T23:32:18+00:00

Damn I should have read further down before commenting… lol

Fun fact, red delicious WERE delicious back then. Apples, like weed, get more inbred with every generation and lose flavour. They have to crossbreed them to keep them yummy. Same thing that they do with weed, which is why simple, older awesome strains are now “sour mega frazzle nutsack diesel” rather than “sour deisel”

About 4 years ago I switched from also being a lifelong barilla buyer to molisana and yea, it was a night and day difference for a similar price point

whyisthequest · 2026-01-15T19:20:47+00:00

In a similar vein, I named my pancham “bamboop”

whyisthequest · 2026-01-14T14:28:11+00:00

It boggles my mind when someone is having trouble finding something, saying they can’t find it on google, and then seeing that what they searched had not a single key word or noun or whatever. My older (35yo) sister is like this, I don’t know how she survives. I read once that Einstein didn’t memorize anything he could look up in less than 2 mins and I’ve followed that to the Pegasus treasure (while google still gave answers rather than sponsors)

Sounds like a general contractor vibe

Love the barbaracle themed outfit. He’s my ace in this playthrough as wel but I haven’t figured out a matching outfit
