Finished talking and introducing each other with a person from the organization for people with autism which I am part of, she's gonna help me with organization for my studies and future projects and it went extremely well.

My parents and I introduced her to how I am, my tastes, which are my difficulties and other general stuff. We also found a spot in the house where we could do the work for my studies and such.

She also even offered me help in finding a place to study japanese (as she is a big anime fan) in Gran Canaria so I could play certain games which are japanese-only such as Mother 3 or the Fire Emblem game with Roy if all went well. That was awesome and the highlight for me.

So yeah, really cool and promising vibes overall. Will be great to improve on my studying skills and hopefully get to learn japanese.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Can someone explain to me the difference between a baby Pokémon and a 1st stage evolution?

 

[Dukefire]

The thing with isekai is that it's a power fantasy, Japan does the whole 'everyone in society is a cog in a machine' so that's why their protags are typically OP as ****. Owning women is a power fantasy for incels who don't shower, don't do anything to make themselves look nice and don't want a relationship where they have to do anything for their partners. They all want slaves, specifically slaves they can have sex with. A lot of isekai trash panders towards incels. It's like, a cycle

There are many manga that utilize the concept and usually considered decent or trash due to fanservice or poor writing. However, every now and then you will come across something that is great. One of the many Isekai manga I can recommend is Solo Farming in the Tower. Pretty good if you don't mind the farming concept.

 

[Jocario Zero]

I don't see much of a reason to doubt them, Oda is still involved and the studio that made Avatar is different from the one that made One Piece. I do hope season 2 is good tho, I hope they do Alabasta justice

Gotta love Oda for that. I hope we make it to Alabasta in Season 2. I have to see Crocodile with his sand powers in live action.

 

[PK-remling Fire]

I hope we see Pell die in live action. He had it too good for too long...

I'm just saying, if Merry couldn't survive being stabbed by a coughing baby, I doubt Pell is gonna fair well against a hydrogen bomb

How is my dad suprised i have gray hairs at age 29 when the world is the way it is rn

All thanks to COVID. It unleashed stupidity that many people never thought was even possible. Oh how everyone was wrong.

It's also why it had made me more cynical of people and being more the dog person then ever.

Tell him it's part of your Yu Narukami cosplay.

It just takes a while to fully develop.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

You know I completely forgot there was a 2nd Avatar Movie.

I mean the blue people. Not the greatest movie of all time The Last Airbender.

for some reason I thought you meant the upcoming animated Avatar movies

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Netflix adaptations in general seem to be a hit or miss.

 

[Aurane]

I finally found a Gengar squishmallow to go with my Snorlax squishmallow. They're both extremely adorable.

Can someone explain to me the difference between a baby Pokémon and a 1st stage evolution?

Not much besides I think babies might be weaker than the usual 1st stage (I’m not certain, probably wrong) and they usually require a higher friendship value before they can evolve instead of just a straight level up.

also, at least in FRLG, you required your Pokémon to hold a certain incense item in order to get the baby ‘mon from them in the Daycare. So, for example, usually Pikachu would just give you another Pikachu, but if it was holding a certain incense (I forgot which) you would get Pichu. Nowadays, I think it’s straightforward and you just get Pichu. This may have only been for babies from Gen 1 Pokémon, too; I believe Togepi was always straightforward, not sure about others.

Baby Pokemon evolve via friendship and they also can't have eggs

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

Never watched or read One Piece but my brother got into it recently and I've been laughing my ass off at his descriptions of the characters and situations.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Wait… so your telling me that like… Squirtle… can lay eggs? That feels… wrong.

I legit thought only fully evolved pokemon could lay eggs.

Only specifically designated Pokemon are incapable of breeding. A newly hatched Wooloo can immediately get to work in the daycare.

It’s one of those times where game mechanics end up having some weird connotations…

The Leguizamo Incident

 

[Shroob]

Liking New Horizons soo far, but man, this tutorial section is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.

The fact that a lot of Bugs/Fish are also locked behind catching 100 Bugs/Fish sucks.

You are going to be stuck in the tutorial for a literal week.

I'm not joking.

Wow.

Just goes to show you the huge gap between game mechanics and lore in this franchise.

Hear me out Noipoi :

Ted is USA's Banjo-Kazooie:
-Both are bears who have connections with magic (Banjo with Gruntilda and Ted with the wish which brought him to life)
-Both live in their friend's house (Banjo with Kazooie, Ted with Mark Walbergh).
-Both are known for being comedic characters (Banjo with british humour, Ted with Seth McFarlane)
-Both had two mainline media stuff and a side thing (Banjo with a car-making spin-off, Ted with the Skyshowtime/Peacock show)
-Both have canonically played the banjo:

This theory seems accurate, BUT, I just have one important question about it:

Is that Freddy Fazbear?

Yes.

Just wait until you see what comes out of a Maushold egg.

You'll be wishing the game's hints that Maushold's babies may not be biologically related to the adults are true.

Honestly I never treated the game's breeding system as "canon" just like the turn based battles aren't "canon". They're just the way the game designers have chosen to represent more active fights between trained animals to the player (as they are in all turn based RPGs, it's symbolic, not literal). And I always thought of the breeding system in the same way. Not every pokemon literally hatches from an egg and more pokemon that can breed in the games probably wouldn't be able to if they were "real". It's just the easiest way to represent the mechanic to the player.

 

[Shroob]

If nothing else, Baby Pokemon, as in Pokemon like Pichu, etc can't breed.



But if you wanna go full on Sweet Home Alabama otherwise, feel free, in fact, it's encouraged for competitive.

 

[TheMightyP]

One day GF is gonna go "screw it" and explain where eggs actually came from.

At the same time, Pokemon based on animals that don't lay eggs are shown to...have external eggs in the anime. And some of the issues with breeding are still present there, like Vulpix being born with its tails fully developed.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

When a male Pokemon and a female Pokemon love each other very much...

 

[Noipoi]

One day GF is gonna go "screw it" and explain where eggs actually came from.

Almost every Pokémon has some form of cloaca.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Shroob you don't have to be stuck in the tutorial in New Horizons for literal week what you can do is

save game
On the "saved game!" Screen, exit and go to the clock in the switch menu
go back to the game and press A to continue

Tada, new day

What is the deal with Ditto? like biologically

Leftover test subjects from the attempts to clone Mew, don’t worry about it.

 

[TheMightyP]

So the implication was that they were failed Mewtwo experiments. So they're just blobs.

How they can transform into anything, and somehow Mewtwo can't?

Don't worry about it.

The more people tell me to not to worry about it the more I will worry about it

How do Ditto get egg?

It's cause Mewtwo is perfect the way he is
