it's a crime to make a pokemon as perfect as snom and make its evo just terrible

60 base speed on an ice/bug is just asking for it

Mercifully Jessie is going to be ok. The wound in her stomach has finally closed and she's no longer vomiting/passing blood. Goddamn vet scared the hell out of me telling me she could go septic and I didn't sleep for two days trying to keep an eye on her so I didn't miss it if she started developing a fever/ the shakes. From what I read the nature of the daycare toxel is random, truth be told I just wanted to put my good boi in a quick ball to match their coloring but I got extremely lucky on my first go, like ridiculously so. I'm keeping this one forever btw all he needs is a little hyper training and he's perfect.

As a person who nearly lost a dog to this twice because it couldn't stop eating things that it really shouldn't, then lost it anyway to heart disease* while I was out picking up dinner, I'm glad your good girl is well and you're enjoying Pokemon.

*We guess. We took her to scheduled checkups and Vet never picked up on any cardiac problems and the death was incredibly sudden.

I'm still catching wild Pokémon at level 30-35 with regular pokéballs in one or two tries with red or yellow health and a status effect. I really do believe that your currently active Pokémon's level being higher makes all the difference.

I'm seriously sorry to hear that about your dog man :(. I made Jessie a soft bed near my desk so she can stay close to me and she's currently snuggled up in it. I'm happy to report her appetite has returned and she's started playing with the kitten again. It was touch and go for bit there. She did this to herself by eating my cat's hairballs by the way. I've started adding hairball lube to my kitty's food so she'll stop puking them on the floor. I can't deal with this again.

That sounds like an extremely dog move. Our Mini was some strange parking lot chihuahua/mini-pin that vibrated so much out of raw excitement that we thought one day she'd start phasing through walls to get to us. We knew something was wrong when he picked her up one morning and she wasn't buzzing.

But the worst was a story I heard from a patient. They tried to have the squirrels in their yard poisoned but their dog dug up and stashed the delicious blue coumadin wafers and would eat them, nearly die evacuating it's various fluids, get saved at the vet, and do it again a couple of weeks later, repeatedly. Dogs love to hurt themselves eating.

Anyway as for Pokemon, we just met Galarian Meowth and he's perfect.

Had a similar thought earlier today. Grookey and a handful of other pokemon get caught and their tree branches or whatever they're holding goes with them. Does that mean pokeballs can capture inorganic poo poo like Dragon Ball capsules? Could I steal the statue of liberty

Stop being such goons, you CLODS!

Played for a total of 8 hours or so so far. I only just got to Route 3. I'm planning on catching one of everything on each route, girls only if applicable and catching multiples for those that have multiple end forms. Wild Area is loving cool as hell. I love chilling out, looking for mons, and gathering treasures. I'm going to do my first Raid tomorrow. I finally have a team of 6 that I'm attached to and will take into the first gym.

Also regarding the story about the statue in the hotel where you first meet Team Yell, is this the first time where they talked about a Human battling a Pokemon using human weapons?

Make sure you start it up when you have the internet access turned on instead of local. Mine does a trade every 20-30 seconds or so

I haven't had a lot of time to really dig into the game but I remember someone saying someone that was streaming a leaked version of the game got through most of the game in like 6 hours and just... How? I'm 4 hours in and I haven't even started the first gym. What a waste, to rush through the game so fast.

I've just been loving taking my time to explore. I really like this game so far! I feel like if it keeps this quality up it may be one of the higher ranking gens for me.

Ive put in 14 hours and I have one gym badge. I imagine you could beat the game in 20 hours if you bum rushed the game, ignored all the camping, wild area, catching, leveling up and evolving different pokemon, doing optional stuff...you know half the game's content.

Early leak streamers will often rush through games incredibly quickly to show off as much as they can before actual release. In addition if it's the streamer I'm thinking of they were basically hate-playing the game and skipping everything they could.
