much better way of getting revenge on cheaters than physically harming cheaters tbh

No shit, Sherlock

But a huge number of pitchers have thrown at a huge number of batters over far less, therefore I am interested in how far it will go over this.

please baseball start so I can see how many pitchers get ejected for throwing at Houston batters

Dallas was here, fuck Houston

I have decent excitement and expectations for the Rangers this year.

There are certain Johto trainers that will occasionally call you and give you stones if you revisit them.

Yes. GBA to DS is one way.

Moltres was moved to the Sevii Islands, but other than that it's just lore/events with Team Rocket and some pokemon not available anywhere else in Gen 3. The events are necessary to open Cerulean Cave.

He meant all the Kanto badges though I think you understood that

I am the guy that brought up the 1% figure and I also did not know about that until he pointed it out

In my defense, I literally never use Rock Smash in not-required ways and have played the original gen 2 a lot more than I have HGSS

Flame Wheel is also physical but iirc Houndour doesn't learn it.

Can't think of any others offhand, but there are probably a couple.

I can't recall if this was already confirmed elsewhere, but the latest chapter of the manga confirms Kaguya-sama S2 will start in April.

Aw fuck whirlpool too

Teach Surf/Waterfall/Whirlpool to Gyarados and bring it in as needed?

.....does anybody in the game tell you this

There's a trainer who says "Every Friday, you can hear POKEMON roars from deep inside the cave.", yes.

Did they remove Roar from the dog movepools in HGSS?

There's an OVA for each season, yeah

Nope. Can't get them at all in HGSS besides trading for pokemon holding them.

I know you're not supposed to apply real life logic to the Pokemon world but I wonder how many trainers have been killed here because of the explosions

Go play older gens and read the pokedex entries though.

I've seriously never understood the safari zone

Throw a pokeball, they break out and run

throw bait, they run

throw a rock, they run

they just run

I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible because I would hate to run into a shiny here

but I wanted to complete the warden's side quest

The theory/mechanic is Rock = More likely to run, but increased catch rate if they don't. Bait = less likely to run, but reduced catch rate.

The actual practice is pretty much as Panthera described it though (With the end result basically being "just throw balls immediately and pray, don't bother with anything else")

As an HM user, yes.

Send a shiny Pokemon to RBY, teach it mimic, fight a Ditto, the Ditto will use transform, mimic transform, use transform, the wild Ditto will mimic transform, (can't remember if the transformed Ditto needs to use transform again). Catch the Ditto. When you send it to GSC it will be shiny.

Yep. It basically ties back to how shininess is determined by DVs in Gen 2.

It's basically the same thing that increases your odds of hatching a shiny to 1/64 when one of the parents is a shiny Ditto

I've legitimately found four shinies ever besides Red Gyarados - A Butterfree in ye olde Gold version, a Magnemite in Emerald, a Zubat in Fire Red, and Celibi in my VC Crystal playthrough

Using my old Red/Gold carts I did exploit a wild Ditto to force it to be shiny via trading back Red Gyarados then bred myself six shiny Eevees with it so that I could have the full team. The battery for that cart is dead though.

Hey, does anybody have a list of what manga chapters the Hinamatsuri anime skipped?

I really wouldn't call Kanto post-game in GSC/HGSS, personally.

It's still going to be rock climb, but the point is that there's not a huge amount of reason to give it to you until post-game.

This is your formal notice (or reminder) that Rock Climb literally didn't exist in gen 2

Walker made it and Jeter wasn't unanimous?

What a day.

Wonder if Vizquel will be able to work his way up to that threshold before he gets aged off the ballot.

You may have literally done the intended 7th gym before 5th/6th btw, which probably made those two feel lamer than they usually would (Steelix and Poliwrath are supposed to be very solid challenges for those points in the game, at least as far as an in-game pokemon gym goes)

Hey, guys, humor me.

Name a single player that got fucked over by this cheating harder than my favorite guy in baseball, Yu Darvish.

I'll wait.

Ok, in that case I'll catch up later and vote now for

A) A Wrench

Kimi no Sei is massively overrated and probably shouldn't be on the list tbh

Oh uhh I lost my tab for this then forgot to go back and keep up oops

Should I read through what I missed before voting y/n

Ahiru no Sora is 4 cour iirc

It's also solid. Not great, but decently entertaining.

As far as HMs go, I usually the Red Gyarados for water HMs in Johto games (though I tend to give Surf to anything that'll learn it and has decent special attack) and Strength, and I tend to just distribute the rest around my team without much concern.

Though my two most recent Pokemon playthroughs I did have dedicated HM users (Tropius and Swampert in Emerald, who can learn all 8 of gen 3's HMs between them and Gyarados with Furret for Cut/Strength/Surf in VC Crystal. I don't use Flash lmao)

What the hellis a wep code

Wifi password

Note that whatever router you connect to has to be set to WEP security instead of WPA, which is honestly probably the single worst thing about the DS.

Does Pun even have anything to trade with to evolve his Onix?

meanwhile Devil Survivor 2 loses out hard on characters/plot compared to 1, but at least has a few pretty quality songs

I thought the remakes gave sufficient direction on that one, but I guess I'm misremembering?

Honestly, my Abra catching strat was usually "throw a great ball turn 1 and pray", though I rarely carry electric types/stun spore super early and usually had worse luck with sleep skills

if there's still another FF game on your list that hasn't shown up yet, it's objectively wrong sorry

Either Growlithe or Vulpix was route 36 in Gold and Silver. They put Growlithe on route 35 in Crystal, but if you can get to route 35, then you can get to route 36.

Crystal added a patch of grass to the segment of route 36 that's reachable from Violet.

A patch of grass that appears to have been removed from HG/SS in addition to not actually being present in Gold/Silver

Should they have given Faulkner a Delibird instead? :P

Honestly, Flying is just sort of a shitty type for a first gym because of how many potential pokemon aren't considerations for mega early game. If they moved it later, he could've had stuff like Skarmory, Gligar, even Togetic or Aerodactyl in addition to the Delibird you mentioned. As-is, the best options for replacing one of his pokemon would probably be a Zubat or Farfetch'd, honestly.

(And the only reason I mention Farfetch'd is because it's a gen 1 pokemon. If it were a gen 2 like the others I mentioned, there's no way it'd be included on a first gym leader's team I don't think)

Pidgeotto actually has higher everything except Defense compare to Onix.

Sure, but Onix is also a pokemon that you won't even have a chance to own for at least a few hours if you're playing at a casual pace. There are a couple other trainers in between, but the first place you can find Wild Onix in R/B/Y or FR/LG is Rock Tunnel. That gives it at least a bit of a cool/intrigue factor.

Meanwhile, you can literally have both Pidgey and Spearow before even really learning what a gym is in any Gen 1/2 game or remake. Granted, Pidgeotto not so much unless you grind excessively or are playing Yellow, but it's still 'available'

Does anyone else imagine that they are meant to be read in one of those old time news bulletin radio voices?

I totally get the concept, but the accompanying song makes it hard to actually imagine

Speaking of don't do this

Chan Gailey still exists?

Do you have any non-contact moves? Using those won't trigger Static.

Otherwise just know that encounter rates vary with time of day and use it to get ahead on grinding \_()_/

I have no comment on the thing's usability. You're playing the main in-game story of a pokemon game, so pretty much everything works with a bit of grinding and/or brainpower.

Angie is literally a full sixty spots too low on that list lmfao

Punnyz posted...

wait really?

1% encounter rate, baby

And no swarm mechanic either iirc?

Of all the stories from the last year, this is the one where the cop is out of a job?

As far as I can tell, the cop resigned. Wasn't even fired.
