Okay, anyone who is playing the new Pokémon games, I’m kind of at a loss for words… I’m just a casual more or less, I didn’t play any of these old games when I was younger. I did play X/Y and Sun/Moon some, but never beat either one. So here I am now, addicted immediately.
I named my adorable little critter bff Rey and was lucky that it was indeed a girl! I looked it up and apparently the chances of getting a female (let alone on first try) are obnoxiously low.
OH MY GOD HOW CUTE IS THIS. So I use her all the time. Everywhere. She’s like… one hitting everything and barely getting hurt from enemy attacks. I’m like… is this normal? She is so strong and brave and sturdy! She’s level 25 and I have the ability to “judge” Pokémon now. I’m curious how this little girl fares…
WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?!?!?! Does everyone’s starter Pokémon have stats like this? Am I in some weird dream land?!?! I feel like this game is super easy because of this beast, if I had the other game would Pikachu have stats like this? This is unreal. I wish my Chespin in Y had these stats, I struggled a lot with that damn thing.
OP got a perfect IV female eevee on their first try, reblog for luck
Just to put this into perspective for non-hardcore Pokémon players, when the game generates a Pokémon, it also generates a random number between 0 and 31 for each of its six stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed), called “Individual Values” or IVs. The higher the number, the better the stat will be. An IV of 0 means you get 0 extra points in that stat by Level 100, while an IV of 31 means you get 31 extra points. This can make a huge difference, especially in competitive play, where every single point counts. (A Pokémon with 30 IVs in Speed will always be slower than an identical Pokémon with 31 IVs in Speed, for example.)
Unless it’s been adjusted in Let’s Go for the starters, the probability of getting a Pokémon with all six IVs of 31 is 1 in 1,073,741,824.
The chance of getting a female Eevee (which is important for breeding) is 1 in 8, bringing the chances of a perfect IV female Eevee to 1 in 8,589,934,592.
ACTUALLY
Let’s go has every starter like this. Like I assume this is for the same reason I initially went to sit there and check stats on my starter manually with an online iv checker in the first place, unevolved pokemon are fragile. Both pikachu and eevee have base defense of like 50. I didn’t want the thing being taken out in one hit.
But tbh they should probably do this every game because like, raise your hand if you have really loved the first and/or second stage of a starter line then the last one shifts design so drastically your are disappointed. One of my friends Never Evolves Her Starter, and usually a few others on her team and will be like “im bad at pokemon”. Another did a run with just a piplup. Beat the game like that. Make the starters good enough that people who ARE actually bad at pokemon (cough children) can do that shit too.
So, update on the asshole who got himself killed by deliberately trespassing on Sentinel Island… He was not a missionary, but a travel blogger masquerading as a missionary to gain access and treat the Sentinelese as a zoo exhibit (whilst exposing them to germs, and encouraging other intruders).
Again: It is illegal for outside people to barge onto Sentinel Island (borders: they kinda work that way. And a lot of white Americans seem real excited about ‘protecting the border’ with deadly force. Just saying.)
The last outsiders to arrive kidnapped a bunch of Sentinelese people and also introduced deadly diseases, so they have more than enough reasons to use force to fend off invasion.
This asshole was warned multiple time not to go there.
He was going for some extreme travel adventure blog, which is the epitome of colonizer nonsense: disrespecting indigenous sovereignty, endangering indigenous lives, and treating indigenous people like a zoo exhibit, all so he could make a quick buck.
PS. Thanks for getting the right-wing Christian crowd all riled up against indigenous people with your missionary stunt, bro!
Wow, and it got worse.
The article does say he was a travel blogger, but nothing about him pretending to be a missionary. How do you know he wasn’t genuinely both?
Those things really don’t seem mutually exclusive. Sweet setup, coming from a certain mindset 😱
Can we address the fact that people with good parents get super offended when you explain how awful yours were? Saying things like “your parents would do anything for you”, or “you’re lucky they gave you a roof. Be grateful”. Nope. No you are not going to guilt me into thinking abuse was okay just because they met the basic requirements for the care of a child.
It’s wonderful that your parents are great and would do anything for you. But that statistic does not apply to every parent, and it’s so invalidating and dangerous to imply that, so stop. Think, really deeply think about what I’m saying and why.
Totally agree that victim-shaming is disgusting and never okay!!!!
But just an important heads-up: people who get defensive, i.e. uncomfortable, in any way when you tell them about your abusive parents, are abused themselves without knowing it.
Someone who REALLY had good parents would have absolutely no reason to get angry at you for venting about your abuse. Why should they?
The only explanation for people saying things like this is that it makes them extremely uncomfortable, because it forces them to look at their own parents. Another person’s abuse always triggers an emotional flashback to your own abuse. For example, if someone complains how their parents got angry at them for crying, it would immediately make them think/feel of how they feel when they cry, i.e. what their parents taught them about crying through their reaction to them crying.
I know it’s a really unknown fact that most people suffer from emotional abuse, but it really is part of our culture. How people react to your trauma is a good way of telling how much they know about their own trauma (not saying that people who react compassionately to you aren’t traumatised – they either have experience in this (which might stem from their own abuse too!) and/or they already know about their own trauma. Only asking them directly will of course give you the truth.).
But yeah – people with good parents don’t say such things. It sounds like they are just repeating what their own abusive parents would say.
I think it kind of depends. As someone who is disabled I hit a lot of people that deny my BODY is harming me bacause they simply cannot deal with the idea that something like that could actually be out of their control and therefore is a threat to their moral system.
Victim blaming is a thing usually because people cannot accept that if they were in the same situation they would also be powerless. It’s outsourcing your emotional problems to the other person so you can just continue with the same beliefs.
It is absolutely good to keep in mind that it might be denial of trauma but sometimes people are legtimately being abusive dicks about it who are just prioritizing not having to question their world views over not hurting people.
What will you see with this two-minute video: Description from the Center for Biological Diversity:
Laiken Jordahl, the Center’s borderlands campaigner, recently visited the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge in South Texas. Environmental laws that normally protect this land have been waived to rush construction of Trump’s border wall. Watch this video from Laiken’s visit to learn what the wall will do to the refuge — some of the region’s last habitat left.
