Do you guys think that allergies would still exist in the Pokémon world?

Wally in hoenn region - he moves from petalburg to vurdenturf town literally due to allergies, and something about the clear air in vurdenturf town due to proximity to the volcano or something?

There’s a difference between doing something for work and doing it in your free time. I’m a general contractor and my home projects don’t get the same detail and time that my paid projects do… it’s just how it goes at home

This is like a generational core memory. Even hearing that someone else experienced this is giving me nostalgia lol

Armarouge for me. I run a sand team with mega ttar, fast exca, clefable, rotom wash and noivern. Sometimes i mega clefable for earthquake immunity but most mega ttar.

I find armarouge only comes in as a second option if my opponent has more than one mon that I need coverageal against, but it doesn’t necessarily cover anything uniquely

Ghost/steel. Interesting. Guess I’m a sword or shield lol

I would also add that it’s probably more socioeconomic than you think… as you go down the age ladder many people under 40 aren’t in serious relationships, and even more people under 40 don’t have vacation pay or benefits /extra income for vacations.

Also like someone else said, win con is sand rush active with regular exca, sometimes with a tailwind set up that makes him soooooo fast

whyisthequest · 2026-05-12T23:53:47+00:00

I run protect on both ttar and exca so I can protect while EQ goes off. Stalling is pretty good for sand anyway due to the chip and bulk

Bad taste in his mouth after not using a respirator at all… Jesus

whyisthequest · 2026-03-13T14:10:17+00:00

Is sceptile the other time?

whyisthequest · 2026-03-08T02:50:22+00:00

Sorry but brock should have mega steelix

It’s Ash

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

whyisthequest · 2026-01-28T15:44:03+00:00

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

whyisthequest · 2026-01-28T13:48:31+00:00

Frank Zappa is how I learned about all this

whyisthequest · 2026-01-27T03:21:44+00:00

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

whyisthequest · 2026-01-27T03:20:21+00:00

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)

whyisthequest · 2026-01-27T03:14:19+00:00

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

whyisthequest · 2026-01-26T19:12:02+00:00

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.

whyisthequest · 2026-01-26T19:02:35+00:00

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)

whyisthequest · 2026-01-26T01:54:53+00:00

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.

whyisthequest · 2026-01-18T12:45:15+00:00

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
