Went canvassing for the 1st time yesterday since 2018. Context: Before I entered the public sector, I was in community/grassroots spaces.

It feels very different now talking to people. Feels much more isolating. I think the pandemic really affected people, not just physically but socially.

Each has their trade off. What I do is buy mostly digital.

If I see a game I own digitally on discount, I buy the physical to add to a time box.

Now that you mention that, the shape of his feet do look like turbines too…

We’ve never had a final grass/flying so you’re probably onto something

My guess for final evolutions are:

Grass/Electric
Fire/Fairy
Water/Poison

Most unsure about is Browt.

IGN Review: Pokemon Winds and Waves

6.8 - Too much air and too much water

November 2027 is the likely release date for the new Pokemon games. Definitely enough time to replay older titles.

Goal: Replay Gen 1 - 9 with the water starter of each region before Gen 10 releases.

Oh! Good idea. I should get her to play PokΓ©mon X/Y.

I would get it. Shiny hunting in the game is crazy.

I think Brilliant Diamond & Shiny Pearl is a great game for beginners but not a good game for experienced players.

My girlfriend, who has never played PokΓ©mon whatsoever, has enjoyed playing Let’s Go & Brilliant Diamond much more than PokΓ©mon Sword & Violet.

What consoles do you have? (I assume the Switch of course)

Yeah, it felt like an adventure to find clues as opposed to simply looking up a guide that tells you exactly what to do.

Trial and error & the finally getting it right was so satisfying. The feeling of seeing Cynthia in Gen 5 without knowing was terrifying.

The fact that I could take my Gameboy or DS, fit in my pocket, go to school & be excited to trade with friends made me feel like that was the whole purpose of Pokemon having multiple versions.

Now, I can just ask a stranger, trade & that’s it. No connection. No conversation. Just a transaction.

My favorite time in Pokemon will always be Gen 3 - 5. There is definitely a nostalgia bias there but I think a lot of my enjoyment comes from how I interacted with other people who enjoyed Pokemon at the time.

Online expansion has made, not just Pokemon, gaming feel somewhat isolating.

You can still redownload games you purchased!

Does anybody have a macro guide for Wild Zone 19 for Pokemon ZA?

Preferably the fly reset method.

I’m ok with there being no direct this month or any time soon. I at least feel that time and money is very limited for a lot of people right now.

No point in buying games that just collect dust &/or become part of your backlog.

Small updates to existing games is fine + old ports (FRLG) are fine.
