TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 1hAll those answers are in the games (and would take too long to type out lol) 100
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 1hORAS happened after XY’s first firing, and the DLC ones are a spoiler but that relates to my original prediction lol 110
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 4hThe lore reasons are what justifies “finding” the few subtle shaped megas (along with 90% of the others being obvious) it’s not just pointing and deciding what the shape is for no reason 2430
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 4hlockstin is keeping the x and y shaped mega pokemon theory alive and it’s super clear the comments don’t understand the reasons why mega pokemon are x and y shaped because they’re trying to relate them to all these random shapes or design elements 5874
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 14hI go in blind all the time. And spoiling it ahead of time isn’t experiencing the execution or intent at all, I’m not sure there’s any way around that. I’m sure you still have fun just like I can still enjoy Frankenstein, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t missed out on craftsmanship by the creators. 000
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 14hIf you felt that way I would assume you’d like experiencing the developers intent over out of context reveals, so I say give going in blind a shot! 100
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 14hAll of that’s great and true but you are inherently missing out on intent regardless, even with Frankenstein. And if given the opportunity, I would willingly have gone in not knowing those details just like I got to experience the original star wars trilogy without knowing the twists. 100
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 15hI don’t think anyone is making that argument, like at all lol But why skip a first experience? There’s a reason words like “reinterpretation” have “re” in them aka not happening your first time 100
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 15hLess game. The surprise works because of the context and pacing that sets it up. Trailers remove that context and pacing. 110
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 15hOf course there are people out there where this is absolutely true, but I also think user johnnynintendo24 who has bought every Zelda will most likely buy the next one anyways and could use a bit of self awareness lol 010
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 15hYou’re getting the same content, not more necessarily, it’s just how it psychologically affects you when you receive it . Games are entirely made of smoke and mirrors, how you receive new experiences is equally smoke and mirrors and part of the design as well. 100
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 16hhang in there, there’s always a cool video game around the corner to look forward to 💪 000
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 16hYup! My strong stance on this originates from experiencing all the early stages in sonic games blind for the first time None of those would be considered spoilers to most people, but seeing them blind in context for the first time blew my mind 010
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 16hIt’s called “older brother core” so it’s possible it’s the younger sibling lol but also this sorta era representation thing gets flattened all the time 120
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 16hIt really is easy, I think watching trailers is just an ingrained habit that people don’t realize the downsides of lol 000
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 16hI personally stack mine 😂 but I think authentic would be just drinking new cans in your regular life lol 120
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 16hThe decor style is called “big brother core” so I think they’re going for recreating what a big brother would have lying around his room (which is part of why the top one is crushed) 010
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 17hI would equally stay away— I was shocked how much they showed during the reveal lol 000
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 17hExactly! People say they still enjoy the games, and I believe them, but if you have no opposite experience of not watching the trailers to compare it to, then you have no idea if you’re missing out on that experience or not 210
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 17hYou can’t undo seeing something new, so it’s never worth the risk of finding out in the first place lol 000
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 19hGiven that Toby Fox has already accomplished this, there’s a bit of romanticizing you can do by taking a step back and seeing this as the old guard trying to pass the torch to new devs and pretty much all the spots are wide open very one piece “new generation” lol 0936
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 19hlooking back at sakurai and other devs implying the industry is losing creativity I think there’s more hope in recognizing that and doing something about it rather than dismissing it to keep things positive you can always be more creative, but keeping the status quo will lead to stagnation at best 522215
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 20hAh you’re right!!! I knew I was forgetting something! I think that’s obviously a notable part of Pokémon’s history but also you can kinda gauge how important it is by the span of time she gets compared to Dawn 010
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 14/10/2026This was good because it’s more like local established shops would make a special item that’s only slightly different than what they usually make rather than it being like a themed cafe that swaps menus constantly and specializes in nothing lol 010
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 13/10/2026OH NO lol did you end up getting a Japanese version or something ?? 040
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Yup 😭 it was nice while it lasted. The other thing I miss was online stores making pricing mistakes all the time, now you’re lucky to get one a year. 050
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 13/10/2026If/when Gen 3 gets rereleased I’ll see if I can find anything that helps you ! Even if the help is “I couldn’t find anything either” lol 030
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Language class. I can self teach myself whatever the lesson is today if I need to, but the concern is that you only have a certain amount of days you’re allowed to miss according to the visa rules 😭 150
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 13/10/2026hey it’s not my first day on the internet, I know how to read that formatting lol So I suggest it’s time to use your context clues haha 120
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 13/10/2026hey you joined this thread acting all smarty pants when it’s clear you aren’t on the same page, it’s not my fault if you don’t like people responding in kind lol 140
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I don’t know if that helps narrow your search at all since obviously emerald came after lol but yeah I wonder if it was still supposed to be intuited 140
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 13/10/2026While there are no specifics, FRLG has NPCs that imply the existence of IVs and EVs. So at least at that point it was still meant to feel “natural” to the world rather than to be figured out. 150
TAHK0 @tahk0.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I really don’t think playing the sympathetic card works in this scenario when the use of and participation with AI at the expense of those who’s work is stolen and used to replace them is the whole subject of the conversation 150
