@bimmy-lee I am not surprised to be honest. I admit that I report comment from time to time but I always write why I report the post. It should be against the rules. That is always the case.

I am sure that Anti reported left and right posts that he simply did not like not that they are against the rules.

That might be another hard lesson for him.

Kind of long, I get it, but I'm so shocked at this I have to share it!

I am sitting here watching anime and breeding a Pokemon to give out on surprise trade because I kinda like doing that every now and then. I've played this series a long time and have some pretty obscure stuff. For example, I have Pokemon in obsolete Poke-balls that are no longer in the game, like the safari ball, because there hasn't been a safari zone since gen 4. I happen to have Larvitar in a safari ball - and Tyranitar is one of the top tier competitive Pokemon in all formats so I thought it would be cool to share this. The only way to have it in SW/SH is to transfer one from gen 4/HGSS through gen 5 and then into gen 6 to get it onto the 3DS, move it into Pokemon Bank and then from there into Pokemon Home. Then you can breed Larvitar with Ditto and it will be in the same Pokeball as the non-ditto parent.

I bred a whole box of them and trade the first one away... and the Pokemon I get in return? A Larvitar in a safari ball! From a Japanese player, or at least a Japanese account. The odds of that are astronomical! Surprise trade is totally random! There are hundreds of Pokemon in the game, and each one can be caught in any ball, but not the safari ball! That can only be obtained in the way I described, by bringing it forward 4 generations across 3 different game systems! From DS, to 3DS, to Switch!

Clearly someone else had the same thought I did but I'm still sitting here blow away by the odds of this. Even with someone else having the same idea, the chances that they would do it at the same time as me are crazy!

Ok I swear this seems really sketch so somebody shed some light on it- Why the actual hell are there triple a nintendo published (odyssey, link's awakening) Switch games on eBay for under $20 that are selling more than 40 copies, yet are still on the site? Like nowhere in the description does it say its just the box yet its clearly a scam and people are buying it. Why haven't they been taken down yet?

I don't like Monster Hunter.

@BruceCM treno for one group, and in the sand town that starts with a 'C' for the other group. So past burmecia I believe.

Must be Cleyra, @NintendoByNature .... Pretty good going for about 10 hours! Still, plenty of game left yet, though

@BruceCM yea I think I'm making good time, actually. And only struggled on 1 boss (grotto cavern). Took me about 8 tries to beat him.

While we're on the topic, one issue I do have is how under powered vivi and garnet are. Like garnet does at most 15 damage with the best weapon I have found for her. Other than that, it's been pretty fun. Love the bickering between Steiner and zidane lol.

The other thing I have found kind of unfortunate is that when you get split up, you cant bring a healer into your party relying on potions solely. That also reminds me, how do you get the ability to cure all with garnet?

Eh, Vivi is pretty good, @NintendoByNature .... You not worked out weaknesses to hit yet? Cure/ Cura, etc, can be used on the party, as well as individuals! L or R to swap, same for most black magic

@BruceCM hmm I guess i gotta try tapping some buttons during battles them. Some of the stuff seemed a little easier to grasp in 7, so im still getting used to it. Keep in mind, as you may recall, 7 was my first ff experience, so im still getting my feet wet.

NintendoByNature

BruceCM

Yeah, I remember that, @NintendoByNature .... Tag me in the thread for the games in the Switch forum, if you like! Most of the time, elemental weaknesses follow standard FF rules, though. So, maybe give me more idea just what you're finding particularly difficult

Just asked in that thread about it, @NintendoByNature.... Black magic is generally pretty powerful in FF games IF you hit enemies' weaknesses

Always aim for the glowing/shiny spot.

@ThanosReXXX - Yeah, I usually help him identify the objectionable behavior and craft a plan for avoiding it in the future, but it seems impulse control is as much a challenge for him as it is for many people. Being annoying with reporting people is a new problem as far as I know. Usually his bans come from behavior after he’s allowed a troll to whip him into a frenzy. I know the powers that be are good to him in allowing him chances to learn from his behavior, so hopefully he’ll be back around eventually. I’m sure he has stuff for me to report to this thread, so I’ll update everyone after I’ve gotten back in touch with him.

@Zuljaras - I mentioned to Thanos that the over reporting behavior was news to me, I don’t think it’s typically what gets him in trouble here, though I could be wrong. It would definitely be annoying if someone was firing off reports every time they’re offended. I do know he gets warnings first, so even though I like Anti and think he’s funny; he has to contribute within the rules like everyone else.

limby-bee was a jerk.

@Lucarianzx Those kind of scams are very normal on Ebay. In fact online sites in general are like that when it comes to some systems (most GBA and DS games sold online are fakes for example).

It's stuff like this along with Nintendo's poor management of NSO that makes you really appreciate the value of Virtual Console in the Wii and Wii U eras.

@grumblevolcano, but like why hasn't ebay removed it and why are people still buying it? It just simply doesn't add up.

I don't like Monster Hunter.

@Lucarianzx People buying it are uninformed, they think it's just legit cheap. I found out about the GBA/DS thing because someone on the Nintendo Life forums created a guide of how to find out if a cart is fake.

Does ebay have any guarantee on stuff there....? I stick to sites I know for games

@grumblevolcano That's really interesting with like gba/ds stuff. I prefer to go around to my local game store (NOT GAMESTOP) which our city's fortunate enough to have to go hunting around for older games that I know for a fact are legit and not a Chinese knock off.

I don't like Monster Hunter.

@roy130390 Everspace is definitely different than what I'm used to. It and Cadence of Hyrule are the only die-and-upgrade games I don't get too annoyed with.
