the Hearth @Felthry@awoo.space

lost our first gym battle at the ghost-type gym (the fourth one)

just how fast is gengar anyway? thought having dark type moves on fast pokemon would make this gym easy but that gengar one-shotted everything before they could act

Apparently they're working on our broken laptop right now, since we keep seeing steam notifications saying that it's available for streaming from

I didn't know that worked across networks though, thought it was a local-network-only thing

@LexYeen@snouts.online Fair enough. "It's Complicated™" is a valid answer.

honestly i think rookidee and its evolutions might just be my new favorite obligatory-ubiquitous-flying-type

talonflame is *pretty* excellent but. corviknight.

wow, i am not a fan of this chairman rose guy

i get the feeling he's actually a kind of incompetent businessman being manipulated and used as a figurehead, too

oh wow, there's a trainer who actually uses the low-level pokemon + focus sash + endeavour combo in this game

missing the quick attack finisher though, or at least didn't use it in this battle

okay this pokemon impidimp looks more like a digimon than a pokemon

if we're just talking about things that let you play portable games on your tv though i suppose the super game boy is the first in that respect

come to think of it

the switch actually isn't the first console that's also a portable

since sony made the PSTV which is just "a PS vita but not portable", so PS vita games are both portable and console games

a main series pokemon game being on console is weird (yes the switch is *also* portable but it's still weird)

did they change the capture mechanics because it should not take this many great balls to catch a sneasel that's at 5% hp

I appreciate that one of the poke-job offers comes from "pelipper couriers"

I like when they reference side games like that (pelipper has traditionally been The Mail Pokemon in the PMD series)

I really appreciate the callback to Slateport that you can hear in Motostoke's music

infineon is a major manufacturer of semiconductor devices, and all the eevee evolutions have names that end in -eon

if you give eevee a silicon stone, it evolves to infineon

sometimes i feel like we're the only ones who actually like how it gets dark earlier in the winter

my yamper evolved and the name Loaf no longer fits them at all

Either net

Here's a question for the fediverse: What is your favorite glitch in a video game?
