Give him some candy or he'll eat your dreams tonight!

Hi everyone, I've been trying the new app for the TCG and so far it's been quite a nice experience. Obviously the predatory mechanisms that were obvious to be present are quite hard to ignore, and the slight dumbing down of an (already way too) easy battle system surely makes challenges a bit more frustrating in that they get quite simple to read. However, the UX Is slick as hell and the way packets are opened really makes you feel all of that sweet dopamine hit you get from the real thing. Have you had any way to try It as well? What do you think about It?

5-star Tera Raid Battles: Blissey (Friday, September 27, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, September 29, 2024, at 23:59 UTC)

Pokemon fans have been left perplexed after being commanded by the official Pokemon Twitch channel to 'Discover Oddish' for over 19 hours, with a soundless stream showing nothing but the company's logo for the best part of a day.

The Pokemon Company's Twitch channel is a pretty active one, so to see it streaming something isn't out of the ordinary. With that being said, 'Discover Oddish' certainly managed to turn heads, and you can see why. As the hours passed, fans on Twitter began to question what was going on. Why was there a mostly-blank stream on the channel? Why are we discovering Oddish? What did Oddish do? And perhaps most importantly, when will it end?

The bottom part of a Elite Trainer Box is covered in some sort of fake leather. Is it just plastic?

5-star Tera Raid Battles: Blissey (Friday, September 13, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, September 15, 2024, at 23:59 UTC)

First of all I'm sorry I'm posting here so much. Hope I'm at least providing some filler for this place.

I'd like to edit some stuff into my save because I'm lazy and don't wanna grind. I also want to hack in an old sea map. Are there any save editors with Linux support?

Each soft reset takes one minute and three seconds if playing optimally which I most certainly wasn't frequently, although starting at 16384 resets (twice the odds) I started dual hunting on a copy of Black 2 as well, so you can effectively cut every SR's time in half after that. I don't remember when I started, but I always would watch TV shows whenever I would hunt, so here's all the shows I went through:

Gurren Lagann

SpyxFamily (season 3 hype!)

The Sopranos

Parasyte: The Maxim

Kaguya-Sama: Love is War

Last Week Tonight seasons 1-3

Assassination Classroom

King of the Hill seasons 1-7

And finally, the little bugger showed up during the second-to-last episode of Horimiya!

Prior to this, my longest hunt was somewhere in the 16000s.

Like most people (I assume) I hate the event mons. Wtf do you mean I have to live in likeonee country to get some mythical, just treat it like a story legendary.

There is no reason a pokemon shouldn't be obtainable by gameplay

Personally I fond the 2d ones nicer, idk why bit pokemon look better in pixel art. That and modern pokemon has so many loading zones.

Tried to play sword abotehr day and damn so many loading zones,

That said I will admit things like signature moves look a lot better in 3d, its just loading times for crossing a bridge is uhhhhh

What I'm tryna say is I prefer the looks of pixel art Pokémon.

Just got a machop and a machamp would be a good lategame thing for my team, problem is I use mgba and machamp is a trade evolution. What solutions are there?

As for my team I have other major issues I'm working to fix. I have like 2 steel types and 3 water types.

Its lombre, wingull, gardevoir, the first evolution of mudkip, magneton and Aron.

I'm considering a slugma or torkoal, and am contemplating building the machop. What would your recommendations be? I just beat gym 5 (barely, I need a team that isn't held together by my ace)
