frank, in Does Voltorb have a weakness?

In the games, it usually has static or soundproof, not levitate.

Eelektross has levitate as a pure electric type and yup has no weaknesses (without fuckery, like gravity)

all-knight-party, in Why can rotom inhabit phones and the pokedex?
@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

If the Pokedex can vibrate or something, and phones obviously vibrate, then don't they technically have motors?

can, in A proper way to collect open booster packs?

I think I need a visual. How do they look in the binder now?

SSUPII,

I have no idea why my device is taking pictures this bad today

can,

That looks good to me (blur aside). Did you check if there’s any finger smudges on the lense?

SSUPII,

Yeah, it wasn’t that clean.

My main problem with the packs is their thickness. I have not cut the packs. They are whole, without cards, just folded.

pikasaurX4, in Is there a "guide to the Pokémon Anime"?

I remember seeing this list that reddit user u/MarcoR_ made a while back: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/…/htmlview

Not sure how up to date it is but it looks like it has the latest series too. I haven’t used it myself, but a friend of mine used it to blow through the Indigo League so maybe it will help you

Oh that’s pretty much what I wanted.

Plus, the up-to-dateness doesn’t really matter to me, I just want to finish Ash’s journey(s) for nostalgia’s sake, now that I know that he finally actually won a pokémon league tournament some years back.

pikasaurX4,

A lot of the anime is pretty bad, and I say that as a diehard fan. But starting with XY they really put it in gear and started making a real anime that’s worth watching instead of an awkwardly paced cartoon. If you are looking to save time, I’d just start there, but when you watch Journeys, it’s really more enjoyable the more you’ve watched the older series (guest appearances and whatnot)

It’s extremely ironic that the anime started to pick up when the games started to fall off.

VinesNFluff,
@VinesNFluff@pawb.social avatar

No no, that sounds about right.

As a big fan of Digimon, the competitor that never was? The best seasons of the Anime happened when Bandai realised that Digimon as a games franchise was not a fetch that was going to happen and just let the writers do whatever. Whenever Digimon got a bit of attention on its game/toy related properties, the executives would come back to fuck with the stories and the anime would get worse.

PaddleMaster, in A proper way to collect open booster packs?

If it’s possible, maybe get them laminated? Even if you cut them so it’s just the art, lamination is probably a good idea.

Raids in SwSh are a joke so it's definitely a lot easier to get candies to level Pokémon there. 4 and 5 star raids in SV are challenging to where you're not guaranteed to beat it, meanwhile.

Of course, not every Pokémon is in SwSh, there are notable holes, so there's still merit to grinding SV raids. The problem is you are expected to have trained your Pokémon in terms of EVs... and the multiplayer has a lot of technical and design problems on top of that.

nocturne213,

The problem is not that I am not beating the higher raids, it is that I was never seeing them.

@flit@guild.pmdcollab.org avatar

Yeah that's also annoying. SwSh has the same problem at times but it feels like they're a bit rarer in SV...?

nocturne213, in Pokemon 151 tins: How many cards can they hold?

I just stuffed 85 unsleeved Basic Lands (Magic The Gathering) in one of my tins. It closed, but a couple less cards would probably be better.

SSUPII,

MGT cards, if I remember correctly, are the exact same size as PTCG’s ones. Thank you!

nocturne213,

They are the same sleeve size, but unsure about thickness.

optissima,

What year are the cards from? If I remember correctly, older cards are slightly thicker?

nocturne213,

The newest land station, i think it was released with Brothers’ War (end of last year)

SSUPII,

If we talk about commons, they are the exact same tickness (0.012’’ or 0.305mm)

Foil cards can vary

BeatByte, in Leveling in Violet (and I am guessing by extension Scarlett) is super tedious

Interesting, I found it to be the opposite for me. It’s incredibly tedious for me in Shield, but in Violet since I can send my pokemon out with R and just keep attacking wild pokemon without entering battle, it made grinding a lot easier for me. As a bonus, you get to farm pokemon materials for TMs.

I will say that raiding in Violet got worse after the DLC came out. There was definitely too many people hosting 1-3 star raids when they’re easy to do solo, but I admit I was definitely one of those people too when I first started playing.

StardustWhip, in What Pokemon game should I play next?
@StardustWhip@pawb.social avatar

I never finished Ultra, but the consensus I’ve heard is that normal SuMo has the better story, Ultra has the better postgame content and is at least somewhat more challenging. Which one is better really depends on what you’re looking for in a Pokémon game.

M500,

I’m really liking ultra so far. There have been some challenging fight. But it is nothing that can’t be overcome.

I did die to my first wild encounter though.

Judge216, in Leveling in Violet (and I am guessing by extension Scarlett) is super tedious

ya raids are busted. Before the dlc came out I was having no problems getting in but with the influx of players because of the dlc it has become nearly impossible to get in.

nocturne213,

Is there pre-endgame content in the DLC? I am going to get it eventually, but if I can get some exp from it now to help me get ready for the Elite 4 I may grab it sooner rather than later.
