No point with no breeding.

Effort Levels are 10000x better

Dude

Speaking as someone who loves what they've done to Pokémon Breeding...

Just make breeding about Egg Moves and Natures

Get rid of IVs

Make EVs work like how they do in PLA

and then comp Pokémon is, for the first time, actually good.

IVs are the reason why I don't like breeding. Way too grindy and game of luck.

IVs made me see every single Pokémon I've ever raised as imperfect which made me feel bad because I loved them anyway. I definitely didn't miss them in PLA.

If they bring back effort levels I might actually consider getting into VGC, since it would be a snap to raise them.

And with that, Good Night My Gamers

I really hated that. Made all my mons feel inadequate by comparison. In PLA anything can become OP with Effort Levels

I dunno, maybe it's because I imposed myself a mission to make all of my units viable by grinding but both games left a bad taste in my mouth

Also I like Birthright's aesthetics better

Also also if a game is sold as three games but only one of them is worth it then it's a failure of marketing and a waste of resources
Click to expand...
I literally like no one besides takumi and Subaki in birthrights game but I loved everyone and the look of everything on The Conquest side. Plus Conquest has Niles so that alone makes it better. I also didn't try and make all my units usable and only focus on the ones I liked. Yeah, I spoiled Niles and Jakob

Oh yeah

PLA doesn't have IVs, huh?

...

Oh who am I kidding, they ain't keeping that in mainline lol.
Click to expand...
I mean legends is mainline, so anything is possible imo.

Also side note:

For anyone hunting shiny alphas via mass outbreaks, there’s a tip youneed to know.

If a normal alpha spawns before the shiny, kill it or the shiny won’t have a chance to spawn alpha in that outbreak. There can only be one at a time in an outbreak.

For some reason I've been in the mood to breed for competitive Pokemon again, even though I'll never actually touch comp. Got like half a box of Charmander now (with and without HA) while going for a shiny.

Sure, Charizard is overrated as hell, but sometimes you just wanna give in to your inner child and go "edgy black/red fire-spewing dragon = cool". Although I do miss its Gen 2 bootleg Ridley colors.

Hey, coming here before sleep just to say that, for some reason, the new update for HL2 & it's episodes cause the joystick for my controller to not work at all. I had to go back to a previous update to make it work again. So if someone here got a problem with their controller like me, let me & Valves/other player know.

Also off-topic, but Lanz from Xenoblade 3 is bestest for me so far & I'm so looking forward to know more about him.

All the games I could potentially get with my current money on the 3DS are kind of crap

I do have like 15 bucks in Amazon money leftover that I could use, but the max that'd get me is a VC Pokemon game (Getting a Gen 1 game is tempting, but I dunno if it's worth it)
Click to expand...
Crystal should be the biggest priority when it comes to the VC games if you don't already have it due to the Celebi event. There's also benefits such as Odd Egg shinies.

Yellow might also be worth a look as it gives easy access to the unique Surfing Pikachu game. Gen 1 is still fun IMO, but I know that's a minority opinion among those in this thread.

Having done the obligatory three battles to get shiny Articuno, I ain't gonna touch comp again until next month for Zapdos. Who at GF thought that Zacian and Regieleki were a good idea?

Day two after applying to this **** job. They haven't gotten back to me. Ghosted again. And my dad wonders why i gave up looking for work
Click to expand...
Reach back out. Tell them you're genuinely interested and want to move forward with the process. Worst case scenario is they say they moved forward with other candidates. But, that's better than hearing nothing.

Best case scenario you get the job because they like your go-getter attitude.

Go get it.

dude I'm not sure I know a single person irl who owns one of these really fancy plastic character figurines. And I'm friends with plenty of weebs! They're just so expensive and it feels like there's 10 made at a time.
Click to expand...
Long, long loooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, I had a couple figurines.



Then my mom got mad randomly one day and decided that I needed to 'man up' and tossed them all out.




Gotta love parents who believe men and women have to act certain ways.
