I've only just become aware that they put Korrina into Z-A, and I just have to ask, what the hell did she do to deserve that new design?

For those who didn’t touch ZA here’s some FYI

• The first sight of her or rather her antics is in the museum. There is a photo of your XY character entering her tower right prior to your first mega stone. They kept the chibi too
• She gave AZ a Lucario to help him going. Right before killing himself he placed that same Lucario to you as a parting gift. You can see her ID
• Now enter the DLC, she will show up at the request of Rust syndicate but she’s wearing massive coat like Fatman from MGS2 so you will ask yourself what’s her deal
• Tadaaa instead of revealing bombs underneath ISIS style, it’s just all Mega stones because…. reasons since she only uses Lucario Z
• Lots of talks with the Demon child, one reveals she’s the daughter of Kalos champion. Now if you don’t remember who she is I don’t blame you because she sucked. Here’s a hint: massive eyebrows wearing a wedding dress
• Oh great!! A remix of Zinnia’s OST out of nowhere that’s lovely
• What the fuck do you mean they are releasing a Lego set featuring her? I am going to kill myself
• She tags her ass with you to fight the bosses. Which is useless because the only factor that does matter here is the right offering to the Demon Child. Otherwise you will never win
• Once you’re done with Fug, she got one last side quest for you: 1 v 1 with only a Lucario.. sounds familiar? Yes it does
• If you were a dickhead in the past and did beat her without a Mega you will get a unique dialogue addressing this btw you can absolutely do it again here
• Hell it’s the recommended move imo, you must Focus Sash on yours because hers will one shot your ass

That’s all about her. You’re welcome

GO is just really boring now; it was cute for the first year, but it has you constantly looking at your phone. It is really hypocritical for a game to make you more "active" yet have you glued to your mobile constantly.

I bought one of those third party auto spinners to make my Go adventures more focused on walking and less focused on my phone to catch mons. It's insane to me that NIANTIC and PC didn't consider an official auto spinner within the second year of Go's life. It would have made them so much money.

What turned me off was the competitive aspect. I hate the fact that they decided to add hidden stats (ivs). Something as simple as GO shouldn't have main game bullshit in it.

That, plus they kinda limit you to how much fun you can have if you're not spending actual money on it (e.g PokeStops give you little to no rewards if you continuously hibernate next to it). The fact that they keep removing stops was also dumb. I get property owners don't want people (especially kids) loitering around their area, but the whole point of GO is to get people outside, it's expected that they are going to make something a hang-out.

The fact that you can't take a raid on your own made it less fun for me to play, when I lived in a tiny town far from the big cities. I could never keep a gym because a single other person would dominate everything, and I could never find other people to do raids with. Little flaws like that really killed my desire to play, and when I returned during the height of Corona lockdown #2 in 2021, they had only made it more annoying to try and catch up to everyone else.

I assume they've further killed the game since then.

Yea but I found a Alpha shiny Riolu without hunting for it so it was all worth it for the Lucario Z stone... na that design has not grown on me at all.

HAHAHAAHAHAHA fucking kill me.
Ebgames Australia has copied America gamestop with charging double on 30th sets.
EB normally charged like a $1.5 markup per pack from every other retail but because it required a $50 a year membership it was the best place to get stuff without dealing with scalpers... not anymore I guess.

JBhifi the second best place to preorder online because they have a good captcha and stable website normally site crashed.
I just want a ETB for my shelf.

We’re hitting that point where they’re pricing out everyone but the most desperate gambling addict retards with fomo.

I got sick of the way modern has become, but it’s even more annoying seeing the annoying women and crypto cucks try to pump up older cards now by telling people they’re slept on. No nigger, they’re not slept on, you just discover their existence and went to buy up as many as you could and hope others do so. I miss when nobody gave a fuck about the cards from after gym heroes to HGSS base set.

Unrelated to Pokemon but it applies here:
There was a time when people were sane enough to leave TCG to nerds like me.
Back in 2015 i was fascinated by a deck called PSY-Frame and I figured about old forgotten cards from a 2011 set that came in handy. I easily managed to find a sealed box of Extreme Victory for 40$


The moment 2020 happened
The moment grifting for money became the norm here, this scenario became an impossibility
Missed on a set for 6 months? Too bad you’re priced out
