Good catch. The hammer doesn't make sense either, looks like it falls off the ottoman, disappears, then falls again to the ground in dramatic fashion

Locking the walk boost behind level 20 is diabolical. Can't even make use of one of the main event perks for several days unless you spend money. I'm not one to go out of my way and complain but this is such a scummy thing to do imo

elsteeler

She's incredible and I def yelled WTF when the hand reveal came 😅

elsteeler

Hard to say, of course. But something to consider is that Pokemon is the highest grossing franchise of all time. It won't stay that way forever but I and many, many other people are going to be lifelong fans. I think many cards are inflated right now but I don't think we will ever go back to the pre-pandemic market, generally speaking. The millenials that grew up with the first games are becoming the wealthiest demographic as time goes on.

Have to agree, as a streamer, it is way more interesting for me and the viewers to gamble channel points on encounter predictions when I'm desperately trying to dodge a third Starly. Guaranteeing stuff like Heracross etc is not as interesting to me, and the vanilla games are easy enough that dupes clause is overkill imo

elsteeler

I knew it was a thing but didn't know how to trigger exactly, thanks for explaining!

elsteeler

Same notification as you. I read the Nintendo announcement as there being an initial eligibility message followed by instructions later, and that's exactly how it happened. Hence my initial post, I wanted to make sure Nintendo saw I was eligible.

elsteeler

Separate from the initial eligibility notification, just got it.

Separate from the initial eligibility notification, just got it.

elsteeler

Anyone get a notification? I should qualify but nothing yet.

Update: I have the notification now.

elsteeler

Not anymore! I try to save on storage and transfer stuff immediately unless I'm in the middle of an event.

elsteeler

I won't have to obsessively check every capture for 4* so that's huge for me lol

elsteeler

Plat also gives Return when you leave Sandgem lol

elsteeler

It's fine but it's still a diet version of Mario Party. Hard to justify playing it over most others.

Squirtle is my fave Pokemon and I made a moveset for him in the Melee days... I always thought Hydro Pump anime style would have been a great recovery move. Essentially Bowser Whirling Fortress but water comes out the shell holes. Would also patch up his air-to-air weakness.

elsteeler

If you're not going to trade it away (and I assume not) then it does not matter. Bank/HOME won't verify if you got the ribbons legit, or if it came from a save backup.

Gen 3 ribbons on it would be visibly illegitimate but Bank/HOME still likely won't care

elsteeler

You can't fool me, Matrix overlord

elsteeler

6 is so overrated, item system is better than 4 or 5 but it's still bad and overly luck-based 😭

elsteeler

Yes, it is legal because it is possible legitimately. I don't believe HOME or Bank care either

elsteeler

If you have a large group of co-op gamer friends, I highly recommend Pico Park 2! I've played with several groups and it's hilarious every time!

elsteeler

The comment was referring to timed research, not the beanie

elsteeler

Yep happened like that to me as well, once you are that close then it's just a matter of consistency and perseverance. Congrats.

elsteeler

Trainers can get event-themed Timed Research throughout the event by going to one of the participating retail locations and opening Pokémon GO!

I don't think you need to make a purchase.

elsteeler

imo Windmillville sucks harder because of Bowser Time and the game of chicken that happens with the 3 star path. But I agree Tycoon Town is super overrated. Warped Orbit is the only 8 board I dislike more.

elsteeler

FRLG is tough due to multiple frame perfect inputs. I always held A until the continue screen was fully rendered. Took me like 5 hours but I got my target. My advice is to be consistent about your inputs. With calibration, it shouldn't matter how "off" you are as long as you are consistent about how you input relative to the timer. As long as you can do that, you'll hit your target.
