they can’t check for that though, can they? they CAN check for hacked pokemon and ban people who use them though. your argument is disingenuous.

except that PMC with the recent bans has proven that, in their eyes, it is equally about “gardening” AND “baking” as you put it. 

If the competition was about catching, raising, and breeding, then that would be part of the competition

This comment section is full of uninformed, poorly coping cheat apologists.

It has never been easier to create a full team of competition ready pokemon. In these days of ability patches/capsules, mints, bottle caps, tera shards, vitamins, and candies, you can create the perfect Pokemon in less time than ever.

Your…

it seems like a prequel of sorts though, with Ichiban actually appearing in this Gaiden story, and then Hawaii being mentioned. Seems like this might lead directly into Infinite Wealth.

You can perfect your pokemon’s EV’s in 2 minutes or less. It takes roughly $500,000 in game currency, which can easily be grinded for.

You can get Pokemon Hidden Abilities with Ability Patches, which can are given pretty regularly for 6 and 7 star raids.

You can change your Pokemon’s nature with Mints, which are easily…

I have less than no sympathy for these hackers.

These days with bottle caps, mints, ability patches/capsules, etc., you can make a tournament ready team in a fraction of the time you used to be able to. Hell, even Egg Moves are easy now. If you want to seriously compete for actual money and fame, this is the work that…

For being the most profitable IP in the world, they have a shockingly small dev team. They need to expand, and definitely need new blood and new ideas at the helm.

and especially fuck people who claim to be allies but bought and played this game anyway,

a few streamer communities kept taking over cool spaces and defacing art pieces. From what i saw in the discourse, it was a lot of spanish streamers for whatever reason.

There were a few spots that were avoided and respected though. The Technoblade memorial, Free Iran. Oooh, and Bad Apple. Look that up.

up until very recently, it was annoying to me, but largely ignorable. then I saw what happened during r/place this year and... it broke me. I hate influencer culture.

I know, it’s a weird line to draw, but to be fair, it was really just the proverbial Straw that broke the camel’s back.

oh damn, that’s what I get for trusting my stupid memory haha.

Sandaconda was introduced in Sword and Shield (Gen 8).
Blissey was introduced in Gold and Silver (Gen 2).
Kirlia was introduced in X and Y (Gen 6).

I downloaded it and enjoyed what was there, but then I saw the monetization and my jaw literally dropped.

I’m glad we have the founder’s words directly from his mouth, because up until now, we’ve only been able to assume that he’s wildly out of touch and shoved up his own ass. Now we have proof!

Mr. Hankey, follow me down this logic trail for a minute... The most profitable period your company had was during COVID when…

i recently got back into CoD after a friend bought it for me, and while I’m having fun, the community is the worst I’ve come across since I quit playing CoD before.

I was in a shipment match the other day where a guy just literally spent the whole time saying “heil hitler” over and over again. it was fucking weird. 

I can’t watch Jurassic Bark.. I love it, but I tend to skip it on my latest watchthroughs. 

Two notes:

1. Some Sage’s Wills are behind Gleeok fights. This is the most tangible reason to engage in these battles.

2. King Gleeoks are legitimately harder than the endgame boss. Prepare to use a lot of resources to complete these fights.

the first one should have been a pack-in game.
