I have a suspicion that most people who don't like a certain food (particular things like vegetables) stems from terrible cooking by their parents.


This x1000

I grew up in an Italian household, and we generally make broccoli real , all sauteed with garlic and olive oil. Yet it was always a running gag in television and cartoons that broccoli sucked, but even as a 6 year old I was like "lol what?".

Later on in life I realized everyone hates broccoli because most people just fucking steam it and call it a day. No wonder they don't like it, nothing tastes good without seasoning lol.


Even with that, most people don't seem to know what the inside of a stem of brocolli tastes like, even raw. People just throw it away.

To anyone reading that hasn't tried this, honestly. Go buy a whole brocolli. Cut the stem off. Now shave off the outside of the stem in chunks until you get to the centre stem of the broccoli. it will basically be something like a white tube about half an inch in circumference.

It's the sweetest, tastiest raw thing you'll ever eat.


Interesting, never knew that. My wife and I take the stems, grate then into thin pieces, and make cole slaw with them.

Vegetables are hit or miss. Their texture and blandness is their downfall.

That said, I still do eat a lot of them cuz they're good for you. I legitimately love potatoes, broccoli, corn, carrots, yams, burdock, pumpkin/squash, and cauliflower. Garlic and onions are GOAT as well, but you rarely just eat them on their own.

The rest, ehhh, they need to be in something or cooked a certain way for me to dig it.

See, my worry is that Pokemon Home is basically just going to be Pokemon Ami/Refresh/Etc, whatever touch screen game they want to call it, rather than actually being able to use my Pokemon in battle and see them in their glory.

So what they should do is get a studio like Genius Sonority to create a companion game, where the focus is to have all the Pokemon in one place. Focus just on the battles and teams the same way that Stadium (and to a lesser degree Coliseum) did. Then there's no excuse that they can't balance all the work, since thats literally the only thing they're worrying about.

Like honestly, people have been asking for a new Pokemon Stadium for like 20 years now. I think this is a great excuse to bring it back.

I was gonna say, yeah, ironically Pokemon Go is a legitimately good Pokemon game now. One that I don't mind paying microtransactions for once in a while, to reward the devs for actually improving it. (And I fucking HATE microtransactions)

It's bizarre. Niantic got a lot of heat for how much they fumbled the release of Pokemon Go, but 3 years later, they fixed a lot of the problems and added in lots of new features that fans requested. Compare to Gamefreak who removes features from games on a regular basis and never listens to fans lol.

Have you ever replayed them?

How many times?


I replayed both Red and Yellow on the 3DS virtual console years ago to recreate my original teams from my original versions of those games. (Which ironically I cannot transfer into SwSh now lol)

Before that, I replayed then once or twice on emulators over the years.

Meanwhile, I didn't like Gold/Silver back in the day but replaying them on the 3DS, I really enjoyed them and understood why people are always giving such high praise.

I'm fine with Red/Blue getting a 10/10, because ultimately those games are what started the series.

Have an elbow injury with major bruising but no fracture fortunately so I can just wear a wrap to support it rather than fully immobilize it.

Cops had me try to pick him out of a photo array, but apparently I picked the wrong photo since none of them looked like him/l since they didn't seem like recent photos.

They took my statement and are gonna do the same with my wife tomorrow. But they said if no one can properly identify him from the photo array it "makes things difficult".

Not sure why they can't arrest the guy if they have camera footage and his license plate, so I can identify him, you know, the way he looks now, instead of how he looked God knows how many years ago.

Tbh I've read a million different things on the definition of assault. Like, I was under the impression that assault was merely the act of intimidating someone, and once you laid your hands on them it was battery.

Sounds like it's for the best to go check it out then. I honestly probably would have but the cop talked me out of it since he seemed really skeptical of me until he saw the security footage.

I used to be an EMT for like a decade and know all about how you can refuse medical aid, etc... So I told him I'd at least like to have them look at me and take my vitals before I decide but he said to not bother if that's all I wanted.

Some dude was speeding through the parking lot when me and me wife were crossing the street and he didn't look like he was gonna stop, so we had to step back out of the way. When he got near us he rolled down the window and started yelling at us, and I put my arms out saying "I'm a pedestrian!"

He got outta the car, stormed over to me while I was standing there, and instantly grabbed me by the throat and started choking me in front of his wife and kid in the car lol. He then picked me up and slammed me on the ground, though luckily I kept my head up and didn't hit it.

There were several witnesses, and the entire thing was caught on security camera, people ran over to help, etc so the guy sped away, but they got photos of his license plate.

Cops said they'll go arrest him, etc, but that it doesn't count as assault since I didn't have any major injuries though I suspect my elbow might be fractured.

This was hours ago and thank God I'm fine, but I'm really shaken by it. I'm torn on whether to go to the hospital to have my elbow checked out, or not. Mostly cuz I've had fractures before and theres not much they'll do about it, but my wife is saying if we wanted to pursue litigation over it, I should go get the elbow checked for that.

Anyone have advice? I've never been attacked before, lol.

Food for thought, Pokemon Go currently has more Pokemon catchable in it than Sword Shield ever will, if GF stubbornly sticks to their word.

They could've said "We'll look into adding more Pokemon in at a later date" and people would've probably been pretty forgiving. But to double down multiple times saying "No. This is a difficult decision to make but we made up our minds." is just asking for fucking trouble.

Genius Sonority isn't that great, either.

They haven't made any console games since Battle Revolution, and basically just worked on Battle Trozei and Shuffle since. Shuffle saw some success, especially the mobile version, but it looks like updates on that have since stopped. And they have also gone on record stating a while back that they no longer have the budget for HD console games.


That's a shame. TPC wasted their talent. I thought Coliseum and XD were solid.

What a shitty situation. Gamefreak repeatedly shows that they're like a C-Tier dev studio who (no pun intended) can't evolve. They're the original creators and own a third of the franchise, and aren't gonna stop making Pokemon games anytime soon, but it's really clear that they shouldn't be trusted with the series anymore.

Yep, I feel the same.

If the game is just basically the handheld game but on TV, then there's no reason for them to cut so many Pokemon.


Supposedly the story is on par with the 3DS games, if not shorter, and has even less postgame content than ORAS.

Tbh if not having all of the returning Pokemon is a deal breaker and nothing in this game interests you maybe it's time to take a break from the franchise and hope that a future game will meet your standards? It's not like the series is going anywhere.

Honestly I'm not sure how anyone could continue to play every one of these games for over a decade and not feel burnt out. Especially if they're still using the same Pokemon.


Not sure if directed at me, but I said I transfer my old guys up after beating the games and training a new team. I don't beat the story with the same 6 Pokemon over and over again lol.

I don't think I can really explain it any better though. It's a game about collecting. Why wouldn't it be nice to be able to keep your collection that you've worked on for years?
