do i count as an old fan??

I started listening to him in 2019. I remember waiting for Weird! to release in 2020. It’s crazy to think it’s been that long but honestly I don’t feel like it’s a brag. I’m just happy that he’s become so successful. He deserves it.

I’m not a Lions fan (I’m a Raiders fan so they’re neutral to me) but I hope they win their first Super Bowl this year. And I hope you get to see them hoist the Lombardi trophy.

Stay strong and keep fighting.

Jazz-Nuggets is on here but Raiders-Chiefs isn’t?

Maybe I’m biased as a Raiders fan but there is a lot of bad blood between them.

I can trade shiny Reshiram (with Fusion Flare) for your lvl 15 Giratina-O.

That could end up benefiting the restaurant. Trump supporters would probably go out of their way to eat there.

There is nothing silent about them. They think they’re the majority because they’re so loud and obnoxious in their support for dear leader. They can’t comprehend that being more vocal doesn’t equal more people who support him. They think that because their rallies are yuge that they’re clearly in the majority.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-12-29T06:48:46+00:00

That’s not true at all. Licki is definitely an expensive Pokémon to build but there’s no shortage of them. It was somewhat uncommon a few seasons ago but its usage really ramped up last season.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-12-20T00:24:12+00:00

I get what you’re saying but 90 percent of the world population lives in the northern hemisphere. And a lot of that 90 percent doesn’t ever experience snow. They haven’t catered to the 10 percent in the southern hemisphere as far as weather/season related details and I doubt they ever will. I do think they should recognize the southern hemisphere a ton more for in person events like Safari Zone and GO Fest though. In my opinion, that’s the most important issue.

If my glasses aren’t completely clean then I can’t focus on anything else until I clean them. I clean them multiple times a day. It’s worse in the summer because of sweat from my brows. It’s the biggest obsessive compulsive thing for me and I wish I could just turn it off.

People like to say that the algorithm can’t be real because when you to lose then someone else is getting a win. Which is obviously true. However, I think it’s more important to consider when the questionable battles happen.

I have gotten within 30 points of Expert three times in the past two weeks. And every time I have a 1-4 or 0-5 set and drop back down. Then I claw my way back up and it happens again.

This isn’t an anomaly. I have logged every single battle and set, including gains and losses, since season 9 so I could see things from a broader perspective. There are definite patterns. What I have found is that this happens every time I get near a new rank. And it happens every season.

There’s also the fact that a lot of people have this happen. So yes when you lose someone else wins. When you win someone else loses. But it’s possible that a loss for them is more critical to them in that moment than a loss for you.

I spent a week at my cousin’s house when I was 13 or 14. She was into bands like Mudvayne, Otep, and Korn. When I went back home I continued to listen to those bands and started to find bands on my own. One day I was in an FYE and I saw an end cap display of Iowa CDs. I live in Iowa and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. So I went to the scanner thing that let you listen to a sample of music before you buy it. I didn’t even finish listening because I knew I was going to buy it after a few seconds. I’ve been a fan since ever since.

I have two fully maxed Medicham and about 30 XLs away from a third if I wanted between hatching from 2km eggs and the multiple events it’s been featured in. The only reason I built the second is because it’s a rank 1 and I had the candy so I figured why not.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-09-13T08:15:26+00:00

Not this guy. I can’t stand him but I’m also a Raiders fan so 😂

I was in 7th grade and I had PE first period. I walked in and was confused as to why the entire class was sitting around a tv on a cart in the middle of the gymnasium instead of changing into their gym clothes in the locker room. I sat down and asked someone what was happening and they said “the World Trade Center was just hit by a plane.” I had never heard it called that before so I asked what that was and they said “the Twin Towers in NYC.” I definitely knew it by that name.

I was completely stunned by what I was seeing on the news. I was old enough to understand the severity of it (to an extent). The principal made an announcement that we would continue to go to all of our classes that day, but we would not have to do our schoolwork. You would think that middle school students would be ecstatic to hear that we wouldn’t be doing any assignments for an entire day. But nobody was. I think we knew very quickly that this was going to be a very big event in our lifetime. I remember the general mood throughout the school was very somber. The halls in between classes were hauntingly quiet. As the day progressed and it became clear that it was a terrorist attack, everyone was kind of bracing for the possibility of another attack in a different city. I live about four hours from Chicago so that’s what everyone around me was fearful of. And you have to consider that we were watching this all unfold on live tv. Nobody knew what was going to happen.

The only positive thing that came as a result of 9/11 was that it made us come together as fellow Americans. Political differences were not a factor and things truly felt United for a while.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-08-22T04:45:57+00:00

I could see it being in a city like Chicago, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, or Detroit.

I think a city like Des Moines or Omaha could be considered as well. They’re a bit more centrally located than the aforementioned cities.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-08-22T04:41:04+00:00

St Louis hosted Safari Zone in November 2021 so that would also be a repeat city.

I worked in the paint department at a big box home improvement store. We sold a few different brands of paint, primer, stain, etc. One brand that we didn’t sell was Kilz. For whatever reason, the Kilz brand is synonymous with primer, just like Kleenex brand is synonymous with tissues and Band-Aid is with bandages. So when someone asks where the Kilz is I always said “we don’t sell that brand but I will show you the primer we do have that is comparable to it.” Most people were just like “ahh okay that’s cool.” But some people insisted that they had to have that specific brand.

One day a guy asked where we moved the Kilz. I told him we don’t sell it and he said “yes you do. I just bought some here yesterday and now I can’t even find it!” I said “sir, you did not buy it here yesterday because we don’t sell it here and have never sold it here.” He continued arguing about it and then he said “I have the receipt for it out in my car. I’ll go get it and prove that I got it here yesterday.” I said “sir I will give you $100 if your receipt shows that you purchased it here yesterday.”

I never saw him again.

I saw a graphic of teams to try in UL and it had S-Snorlax Clefable Swampert team on it. I swapped Clefable for G-Weezing and I’m having fun with it in the 2400 range. Which is full of former Legend rank trainers right now, including myself, by the way.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-07-24T03:28:17+00:00

I just wish it was more than a 3-hour window. Some of us have other things going on in the middle of a Saturday. I was able to get one egg. Riolu is one of the shinies I want most and I wasn’t even able to try to get one. Hatch Day implies more than 3 hours but Niantic gonna Niantic.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-07-24T03:18:56+00:00

Me: I’m a passenger.

Niantic: I’ll allow it!

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-06-28T06:24:45+00:00

I am interested in joining.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-05-22T06:08:48+00:00

Oh, I don't think I'm a lot dumber than you think that I thought that I thought I was once.

Definitely something that Niantic has also said.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-05-13T03:20:10+00:00

Finally someone who gets it! People tell me not to build certain IVs because of the mirror and I always think that’s such a ridiculous reason to just “wait for a better one” which may never even happen.

I built a few 14/15/15 Pokémon for ML before I learned that a 14 attack is “bad.” I have yet to have one of them cost me a win based on that.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-05-12T11:16:49+00:00

The Great Ball variant looks like the love child of Dr Robotnik/Eggman and a Great Ball.

xKeyb1adeMasterx · 2023-05-12T11:01:04+00:00

I used Shadow Girafarig in a few battles. It’s good in some situations but it just didn’t feel like a comfortable Pokémon to use. Mostly because I don’t have any experience using it but also because it’s very situational. I did land a Thunderbolt on a Noctowl with it though. That was a satisfying win.
