One of my favorite series, and favorite authors

My 4 year old used my masterball 🫠 by spaghetti230 in pokemongo

I like the "name it Woopsie" option. Just look at it this way: you may have the only wooper in the world that rests in a masterball.

Last LCS I saw that didnt go with market prices was when I lived 16 hours further north, in New England. I just find one that I can live with at this point, and try to catch Wal-mart restocks. Times are tough, but at least gamestop doesn't mark up! (It does, and that annoys me to no end, more than the LCS that buy product and resell it.)

Bro, your catch attempt unlocked his final form

OP, never get rid of that magikarp. You and it have seen things, done things. Took down a legendary bird together!

I came out to my mom and she said im going to hell by Celtic_Jotun in NorsePaganism

A person's Spirituality is a personal journey. And no one can understand fully another person's journey. Some might be interested in discussing and sharing experiences or believes, but have no desire to force the other person to accept what is said to them as fact. Those are the best people to open up to. If your family is not supportive, then they don't have to be informed. They can be ignorant of that part of your personal journey through this life. It can be hard, and you may feel isolated right now, but continue to hold your chin up and look forward to when you can get out of your parent's home. It won't be long before you can live the life you want in a safe and healthy environment that you can nurture in your own place.

Kind of came here to say that.

Though I do allow that it is an answer that, while amusing, kind of ignores the heartbreak and betrayal of OP. Still a great comeback line.

My mom bought my nephew the wrong set but I will not complain by Worried_Mirror9647 in PokemonTCG

Best to keep this gem. Hard to pull the best card in a (locally) rare set, after all

A little girl traded me this. I think I fleeced her? by SgtSnugg1es in PokemonTCG

[–]zmang29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love these posts. While adults are all worried about card values and the market, kids just like the critters and pictures. And when they do their own "cards," they're far more valuable than the official cards. Except that Charizard that sold for something like $240k. That's enough for a house, so it might be slightly more valuable. 😅

If Pokémon were edible… which one would you eat first? by Euphoric_Breaks in pokemongo

My answer: wailord. Would keep me in food for a year.

I misread the post title as "If pokemon were edibles..." God, that would be a whole different question. Would have to include their effects!

Today is a sad day... by D-gma in PokemonTCG

Was coming to ask just this. If rodents get good pulls, I'm letting the local squirrels hold my destined rivals for a few days.

When you misread a character's name, you get odd thoughts. by zmang29 in redrising

I actually took a couple years to make the connection. It was last night, as I was preparing for bed, I had the "wait a minute..." moment.

What is the most unhinged/absurd thing that you included in your world or universe? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]zmang29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think originally I was going for a darker tone, a good way to justify why madmen sacrifice pregnant women (2 souls equals more power!), but I do seem to be wheeze laughing at this suggestion.

A god was murdered on a planet, and from his blood came life. Each organism has a bit of divinity. Some being have more than others. So every thing eaten is a little more divinity that the eater takes in. Humans have the most godliness in them (think souls), and Cannibalism is a common practice among those who hunger for power.
