what about Black 2?

Don't have it.

thronedfire2 posted...

no just skip that gen and play B/W

Already played and beat Black.

I can't find a reasonably priced copy of Pokemon Platinum. Would Diamond be OK?

I looked it up, and it said that the Hotel in Traverse Town is the best grinding spot.

Beaten Wonderland and Deep Jungle.

I should note that I don't really play RPGs.

Wii and Xbox 360 are considered retro now.

I feel old.

Have you done the cup at the Colosseum?

Tried.

I'm playing Kingdom Hearts 1 (the PS2 original), and I'm at Agrabah. I was having trouble, so I looked up the recommended levels for each world. It turns out I should be at Level 24, and I'm only at Level 18.

Where do I go to level grind?

A. When September Ends
B. Inside
C. Before You Go-Go

I beat Pokemon X the other day. Here was my team:

Greninja
Gogoat
Pangoro
Sylveon
Aegislash
Talonflame

I've been reading old Nintendo fansites, and I've noticed a lot of them portray Mario as a glory hog who steals the spotlight from Luigi.

Why do people do this? Mario's the mascot of Nintendo, of course he's gonna get most of the spotlight.

Would a Digimon game that's a Pokemon clone be successful?

For Hoenn, Unova and Kalos, I got advice from people on the Serebii Discord on what Pokemon from each region are worth getting.
Is that bad? Arent you supposed to figure out what Pokemon to get on your own?

That's one reason the state hasn't flipped. Another is that the DNC inexplicably acts like Texas is as red as Oklahoma.

Texas, allegedly on the verge of going blue since 2008. /s

Republican margins have been shrinking in Texas for a long time now. Abbott won by 11 points in 2022, which was down from 13.3 points in 2018, which in turn was down from 20.4 points in 2014. Cornyn went from winning by 27.2 points in 2014 to only winning by 9.6 points in 2020. Cruz went from winning by 16 points in 2012 to only winning by 2.6 points in 2018. Abbott's margins SHRANK in 2022, which was an R+3 cycle, from 2018, which was a D+9 cycle. Every other incumbent Republican governor INCREASED their margins, including supposedly turning purple Georgia. Tarrant County, the state's third largest county, went blue in 2018 for the first time since 1964. If that's not a sign that the political tide in Texas is turning, I don't know what is.
Abbott's margins in the suburbs have consistently shrunk by 3% every cycle since 2014. Here are some exit polls:
2014: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/2014/tx/governor/exitpoll/
Suburbs went 62% for Abbott.
2018: https://www.cnn.com/election/2018/exit-polls/texas
Suburbs went 59% for Abbott.
2022: https://www.cnn.com/election/2022/exit-polls/texas/governor/0
Suburbs went 56% for Abbott. Also worth noting that Abbott only won the rural areas by 66%, down from 73% in 2018.
Trump himself only won the state by 5.5 points, or 600k votes. That's the narrowest margin for a Republican presidential candidate since 1996.

6 days? You might want to see a doctor.

After I beat X, should I play Sun/Moon? I've heard they're kind of divisive because of how different they are from the other games.

What's wrong with Children of Bodom?

My Honedge evolved into Duablade today. What would be the best level to evolve it into Aegislash?

Gen Xers had Speed Racer and Gatchaman.

Millennials had Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon.

What would you say is Gen Z's first anime?

Would the Pokemon games be better or worse if Nintendo developed them in-house instead of Gamefreak?

Do you play Pokemon X/Y with EXP. Share on or off?

I turned it off. It got annoying when my Pokemon leveled up after almost every battle. I'd rather level them up the old-fashioned way.

I don't get it.

Would it be worth getting a Switch just for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Scarlet?

This is one of the teams I've planned for Red/Fire Red:

Blastoise
Vileplume
Magneton
Dugtrio
Dodrio
Arcanine

Bump.

That's weird

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.

Does anyone else want to only catch one gender of Pokemon, or am I weird?

This is my Black team. I used Reshiram for the last 2 battles, but this was my team for most of the game.

I beat Pokemon Black today. I used Reshiram for the last 2 battles but here was my team for most of the game:

Darmanitan
Krookodile

I just did BW1's postgame for the first time ever on Monday!

There's not a whole lot to it, especially with wifi gone. If you wanna complete the national dex, a bunch of older gen pokemon are in eastern Unova.

A couple new legendaries to catch, higher leveled E4 with an actual Alder battle, new superboss, finding the remaining six sages for Looker and diving into an ancient castle underwater for Arceus' plates and some treasures.

Can all be done in a few hours, but the levels for trainers jump to the mid 60s immediately so you might need to grind.

I'm not missing much if I don't do it?

I just beat the Unova Elite Four. After I beat N and Ghetsis, should I play the postgame? I didn't do the Battle Tower in Ruby.

What does it mean if I unironically like boomer music like doo-wop and 80s rock?

Reminder that Texas is winnable. Abbott's margins shrank from 20.4 points in 2014, to 13.3 points in 2018, to 11 points in 2022. If Dems can increase their margins in the Austin and Houston suburbs, and make gains in the DFW area, Texas can be a swing state.

Telling people in red states to "just move" is not helpful, and does nothing to actually address the problem of rising fascism in America as a whole.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

What were your Pokemon teams for each gen?

Why isn't the DOJ stepping in?

Garland needs to grow some balls and indict this fascist.

Tell me more about how we just need to "vote harder", as if fascists care about election results.

Breaking Bad wouldn't exist without The Sopranos.

Don't you think you've had enough?

No, really, what's the appeal? Why does everyone act like the show is as good as The Sopranos or Breaking Bad? I watched a few episodes, including Sleepytime, and it's just OK. I'm tired of people pretending the show is some masterpiece, and not just an above-average preschool cartoon.
