Pokémon

They better fuck not. It better be some side project… far far far side.

Clickbait. It's basically asking they be up to date with new/upcoming tech. Whether we like it or not NFT falls into that category.

My Nintendo Online subscription is about to run out and I'm not sure if it's worth resubbing right now (at least until Stadium and TCG are released) so I thought I'd finally get around to beating the original Snap and, well, it only took me four hours to beat the game and snap all Pokémon. It's kind of funny how short games used to be. The game's still enjoyable though, even if it obviously pales in comparison to the new one.

Also, this shot sent me

So I just finished the Decidueye Tera raid and what a fucking mess it was. Once it puts up its shield, it immediately starts spamming you with 2-3 attacks after every turn.

GameFreak really said it’s not buggy, those are features.

Giving Renegade Platinum a rest and starting another run of Unbound, which is one of the best hacks and maybe one of the best Pokemon games full stop. Trying to use team members I either never use or rarely use so running with:
Gabite, Vikavolt, Ludicolo, Elgyem, Toucannon and Salazzle.

So this just happened.

That's wild, I had no idea it was possible for two shinies to spawn at the same time like that.

On a hunt to kill some Bruxish and I randomly bump into a shiny Mareanie!

I lent out my copy of Pokemon Violet to the kids of my colleague to play... No need to ask it back soon. Maybe I'll get into it later.

I'm about halfway through the elite 4 in Pokémon Unbound (difficult level) and I have a few comments to share with the group:
Clefairy is scary good, how have I never used one before now?
Toucannon is slow AF but hits like a truck and it makes me love toucans more than I already did.
Vikavolt might be super strong but the fact it will never outspeed anything makes that redundant. Rotom (freezer mode) might not hit as hard but it is bulkier and faster.
This game is just the right side of challenging and I wish main games were like this. Not quite "you need to IV/EV train to win" hard but enough to make you have to strategize.

I wonder how many consecutive attacks this one will be able to deal.

nn the way I never even booted up my copy of Violet during the Decidueye raids ok bye girl

 

[AllSixSugababes]

I love Pokemon but i wish they would find more entertaining ways to extend games life other than annoying raids...

The raids are janky but fun

They'd be fun if the game wasn't a buggy mess. The amount of times I've been frozen into a raid, basically being forced to restart the game, thus losing game progress, is higher than zero. It should not be higher than zero.

Is it just me who never bothers with any of these fanmade Pokémon games? I love Pokémon, obviously, but I don't get the appeal of playing fanmade games at all.

I've played triple digits worth now and have never had this.

Count yourself lucky. It's happened to me 3 times now, and each time I can't be bothered to play the game again for a few days.

Me neither, and besides, doesn't the game autosave before each raid anyway? The only way you'd lose any progress because of a raid freezing is if you have that turned off.
