Chiaotzu, use Explosion! It wasn't very effective.

The little guy hops all over the place. He's in a bunch of places in Brazil, and he's also nearby Nintendo HQ in Kyoto.

Target sells a knock-off frozen appetizer that's pretty close to Chili's version. I'm a big fan of the appetizer, and so I'll give anything that even looks close a try, and I was pleasantly surprised by the one at Target.

Yeah, the sheet here:

Look at Google HQ in CA. I probably found about ten just around there.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate as "greatest of all time?"

Beam weapons, or, as I like to call them, "extra shield energy."

"The Bacta War" and its preceding stories (i.e. "Mary Sue escapes awesome prison") were great stories, and a lot more interesting from a high-concept pitch than Allston's were. That said, Allston wrote better characters, and I'd sooner eat any of those books than deny that "Starfighters of Adumar" is the most fun of…

I read it exactly the same way. I was like, "Isn't co-op mode easier?"

I think the Precision Pro is actually serial by default, but it comes with a USB adapter. I (obviously) haven't used it with anything but the adapter for years, though.

I've still got a Sidewinder Precision Pro (a nearly identical model) sitting next to one of my PCs. I use it regularly for work; It's a great controller.

The chart only takes into account offensive typings, which is why Bulbasaur looks okay in the psychic gym and why Lorelei doesn't show Charmander as getting wrecked.

It looks like he used Gen 1 types, but it's a shallow look at the game anyway - he only accounted for the main type for each Pokemon (so Squirtle doesn't get the advantage of having its almost-inevitable Ice Beam), and he only looked at attacking types (for example, every starter is rated as equal in the Electric gym).

I've never pickled anything or preserved anything, and when learning about what can go wrong, I decided I never wanted to. For someone living alone, being paralyzed from canned fruit terrifies me. This is a genuine fear that for some reason is absolutely bonkers to type "out loud."

I agree that the plot was far more grounded in RBY, but the dialog has always been dumb. The stories have all been... acceptable. The XY plot itself was fine - better than RBY, for sure, because it at least was one coherent story (the originals just had a series of bad guys doing unrelated bad things, and so did Gold…

Maybe they do, but this is the introduction, and it basically leads with: "Hey, back in 2001, Nintendo did this totally new thing that they'd never done before and made this fighting game based around mascots and simple button inputs."

Boy, they just play it off like Super Smash Bros. never existed, didn't they?

If you look at them in Pokemon-Amie (where you can see them blink and make facial expressions), Goomy's eyes are the little black dots, Sliggoo's eyes are the green spots, and then Goodra has regular eyes. They're not consistent between evolutions.

I did the same as you, and boy, for the first time in a long time, Bulbasaur felt really good. His insta-crit Razor Leaf (and some typing bugs, like him being resistant to poison) in R/B made him good there, but once he got fixed, he had a ton of weaknesses. Now he's got a grass attack that's even better than Razor…

I feel like there is zero way to not overlevel everything if you're stuck in "I've played Pokemon before" mode. I did the standard "fight every trainer I see" and ended up 10 levels above the Elite Four when I cruised through the first time. I probably changed out three or four Pokemon along the way, too. Exp share is…
