Accidentally Pulled Up My Pokemon Fanfiction In Front Of A Remote Proctor While Taking My Final Exam.

okay but if the professors succeeded, what would the odds of zygarde scaling that wall between paldea and kalos be

i dunno how to use this site please don't kill me if i do it wrong ^^;

I do agree with the vast majority of this, but I think there’s an argument to be made that sometimes it’s nice to do it for fun in cases where there’s no harm in it. Mostly I’m talking about the games that no longer have internet connectivity, so everything from the 3DS to before. I don’t necessarily hold the belief that “shinies only have value because they’re rare”. If somebody wants a shiny starter just for the hell of it while doing a nostalgia playthrough or because it looks nice, I mean why not. Sometimes the only reason is because a black charizard looks sick as fuck and that’s ok.

Pokémon Discussion:

What do you guys think about hacked Pokémon? Because I have a couple of opinions on it.

First, I don’t like hacked shinies. The thing about shinies is that it’s only an aesthetic change and nothing changes gameplay-wise. There’s no reason to hack one, unlike, say, a perfect IV competitive Pokémon. The thing about shinies is that they only have value because they’re rare. That’s it. Meaning, hacking a shiny takes away its value.

Where my opinion differs is on hacking shinies for competitive purposes, that being because it actually affects gameplay, and there’s actually another reason. As mentioned above, shinies only have value due to their rarity, and thus hacking them completely defeats the purpose of a shiny. On the other hand, you can pretty easily get a max IV or EV Pokémon in scarlet and violet. I’ve seen some people claiming that maxing out a team takes them 3 hours, but with a decent amount of money it takes me, like, an hour at most. At the end of the day, it’s not that much time or effort to max out a team and thus hacking doesn’t really matter. If you honestly care that much about hacking competitive Pokémon, then I honestly think you’re overreacting.

Those are my thoughts, anyway. See ya!

The goopiest guy to ever gunk

As someone who grew up southern Baptist, Bobby Dawn triggers my fight or flight in a way that I can’t possibly explain.

illusion of choice

i should have made the box darker but whatever its the guy

3 hours??? Lore dump??? “THAT moment”???????

If I wind up missing in 2 days don’t look for me

It’s absolutely killing me that THIS is the font that Fabian’s neck tattoo was in before Bill went at it, like what in the default Microsoft word is this

I felt so hesitant putting my fhsona up on artfight because for some reason I thought that it was gonna be too niche. I’ve now had two separate people include them in multi-character attacks and I feel like I could cry of happiness

Semi-hot take: I think that a lot of people who thought Scarlet and Violet were boring just. Didn’t read it.

I’m obsessed with watching people’s play-throughs to see what their reactions to certain story beats are and legit half of them would button-mash through the dialogue and miss important stuff. This then translates to people who watch the videos that can’t afford/ don’t want to buy the game not getting the opportunity to read it too so… yeah.

To me MandJTV did the best job of really getting into and reading the words out loud to get people immersed. Granted he has a lot of experience with the rest of the role-play type Pokemon videos that he does.

Maybe it’s just the English student in me but I genuinely think that these are my favorite Pokemon games to date purely due to the story. The performance issues suck (especially while I’m still using a day-one release switch), but I think this genuinely makes up for it.
