I was super bummed at this Let's Go game but once they confirmed that this is just a stopgap to a real Gen 8 next year, I suddenly warmed up to it significantly. My decision between Pikachu and Eevee will be based on whether you can evolve that Pikachu into Raichu.

Some more info dropped and you can't evolve your Pikachu or Eevee, but you can find ones you can evolve.

It always bummed me out that I missed out on most of the classic 90's poo poo. I caught the tail end of Doom at least but the sprites and sound effects scared the poo poo out of 5 year old me so I would always just watch my dad play it instead.

Oh, I do remember playing one of the old Space Quest games for a bit but I never got very far. I can't even remember what it was called but it had something to do with being trapped in a giant space junkyard.

I mean a bunch of the best pokemon are from the later generations so getting stuck with just the old ones is pretty lame.

Plus if this game was connected to the others you could import all your pokemon from the bank so its not like you have to catch all 700+ of them everytime. Haven't had to do that since the GBA games.

idk its not that weird to me, its like when a fighting game comes out and its missing your favorite character, like you main guile and then SFV comes out without guile and its kind of a bummer. you make your team of 6 guys in each game and get attached to them

and its not really like there's any technical reason to cut guys, they made a point when they went 3D to model everyone at an absurdly high polygon count so its not like they have to remodel anyone. long time fans see it as a kinda crass appeal to nostalgia at their expense

I feel like not having played a pokemon game you might be missing a lot of context!

It's not that 151 isn't enough in terms of sheer content--it is. It's that there's a poo poo ton of cool monsters from the last twenty five years that fans are used to seeing now, and are saddened by the absence of.

The three best pokemon are from gens 3, 4, and 7, in order. One of the originals probably cracks the top ten but I haven't done the math.

It being limited to the original 151 means you can't even use the best eeveelutions.

Played some more Horizon Zero Dawn last night. Gotta say, I severely underestimated how difficult some of the boss battles could be. Wrapped up some of the Hunters Lodge stuff that culminates in the battle with Redmaw. I got my rear end beat several times cuz I just shrugged and pushed on without filling up on healing or ammo materials.

It took me 6 or 7 tries to clear it. It was an intense but pretty fun fight

Spending a little copay now could prevent lots of copays in the future. Making sure a child is healthy is one of the best ways for a parent to spend their money.

Nintendo just comes out of nowhere and goes "We got two spin-off Pokemon games on the Switch this year and another full-blown core RPG in 2019 while you wait" I don't know why other companies even try

To echo what others have said, you want to get something checked out sooner rather than later, what might be a few hundred now could become thousands in a short time if left untreated.


That said, it'd depend on what type of practitioner you went to, but going to a GP, ER or walk-in clinic is 100% free, no private insurance required, in the vast majority of the world. At least the finding-out-what-the-gently caress part is free, you would know from there if there would be costs involved and wouldn't be on-the-hook immediately for that amount.
