God allowed forces like predation that werent needed for free will. Hes either negligent or cruel. At best, he loses my worship. At worst, he gains my hatred.

Do you even hear yourself? Are you just judging the pokemon on physical appearance? Is that how shallow this comment is?

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@PokeDailyPost Yep, whatever ball is most likely to catch them on that turn. My pokemon are almost all in Ultra Balls, Quick Balls or Timer Balls. You'll know the catch method was rigged to 100% if my pokemon is in a normal Poke Ball.

@l0n3ly5tar @Peko_girlboss Black and White in general has a level scaling problem. Noone evolves at a reasonable level in Unova, so hearing that the movesets are scuffed there too makes complete sense.

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@IsJesseMartinez @UniteVids Walling with Shedinja is incredibly smart, damn. If only Pikachu had learned Knock Off.

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@UniteVids Knowing how the scaling works in the anime, Id wait for Ash to move to a new region, and ambush his Pikachu while its in the "weak" phase. Any strong Ground type will do.

@FrostyX37 @ronakronny711 @Sarthak4Alpha I use PKHeX and such a lot. Apps that need to interact with other apps or even with games that Im emulating. I cant do all that with WINE. At least not easily.

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@Gabremon @KMO_X9 @Gladark_ALT Im the opposite, I live on that postgame grind to make as many Pokemon "good" as possible. I play to grind Gmax Meowth or Item Printer and max max EV behemoths that I can transfer around and toy with.
I guess playstyle can influence how you interpret the QOL a lot too.

@Gabremon @KMO_X9 @Gladark_ALT toggle for XP Share. Box Access is still removed from you during important events like Gym Challenges and Elite Four runs. Healing using friendship mechanics doesnt restore your Tera Orb, and is again blocked during important events.
XP Candy is a good catch up mechanic imo.

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@Gabremon @KMO_X9 @Gladark_ALT Ironically, these are all changes that happened earlier in the series, not in Gen 9 specifically.
XP Share was in Gen 6, Xp Candy, healing from friendship mechanics and permanent PC access was added in Gen 8.
I dont think these changes are all that bad, aside from removing the-

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@AnotherBionicle The new pokemon are all either so bad or so late-game that the devs didnt even feel comfortable making the Gen 2 mons aces for the gym leaders, aside from Miltalk.
The starters are also just extremely poorly fleshed out. More so than any starter trio since.

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@piyush784066 Depends what you plan to do with it. Surface level gaming like Steam and emulation is very easy now. But dont you dare try to look deeper into things that dont have a Linux compatibility layer or official Linux ports.
There are some apps I use that I know will NEVER work on Linux

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@ronakronny711 @Sarthak4Alpha Its somewhere in the middle, honestly. Far easier than the vocal "difficult" ones would have you believe. But that doesnt mean you wont encounter issues that require the terminal, even on an easier OS like Mint.
Also, if an app is only available in an EXE, you are fucked.

@Master0fHyrule Heroes and Castles 2.

@CanariFeetLover My first game in S tier, lets fucking gooo

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@tetobrine How do yall encounter these issues? Ive never had this happen to me. Am I just one of the lucky ones who Microslop has so benelovently spared from their torture?

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@Mega_Mii51 Meh, seems sturdy enough.

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@AnarchyGirlPT1 Both types of games exist for a reason. I dont think one community should invade the other though. Both have their audiences, and its better if those audiences are mostly kept separate. For reasons you are already seeing.

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@Gabremon @KMO_X9 @Gladark_ALT What about the QOL changes removed the adventure?

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@Floripa2006 @gloopbastard Not the kind that ruins the environment, makes everyone's lives worse and forces people to move locations just so big tech can build more data centers.
Open-source, local AI has it's positives. But all the AI people are talking about right now can go fuck itself.

[Dogma8 @dogmaa8]

@Animari8754 @Kaibaplayer35 You act like the generation someone starts in is a huge gotcha, like I cant just play emulators and such.
The early gens lack some serious QOL. To the point that its hard to play them without speedup and such in modern day.
Nostalgia-blind.
