    Pokemon Red and Blue come so close to having perfect synchronization

    For those who never played, the main gimmick of having two releases is because not all 150 pokemon are present in a single game. For example in a field in Red you might get an Ekans, but in Blue the same field would yield Vulpix

    So in that way it encourages you to trade with someone of the other colour in order to fill out your Pokedex.

    And there are a couple of choices which underline this! You can choose Hitmonlee and your friend choses Hitmonchan and then you swap together! You choose Kabuto and your friend Praises Helix, and you swap to fill out! Great!

    Except for the three-way choices that exist, namely the choice of starter and which evolution to apply to Eevee. Because these are tenary and not binary choices, a Red and Blue collaborating together can only expect to have 148 Pokemon in their Pokedex, unless one chooses to start from the beginning again.

    Feels like a hairline fracture in the logic of trading between the games.
    Also, I thought you could only catch one of the Legendaries per playthrough.

    Last night the gf noticed a stain on her shirt and said "this is the second time in as many days! I'm having a lot of trouble with grease."

    And i replied "You better shape up, hoo hoo hooooo" (in key)

    @simonwolf look at this border gore.

    FKuNQqu.jpg

    Middle Francia has renamed itself Austrasia because it is controlled by a Capet, and it mostly holds southwestern territory.

    West Francia is all mixed up with Austrasia, but mostly holds the northern coast.

    East Francia is a fairly solid block of eastern land, at least.

    Burgundy used to be a big player, but it's still hanging in there with a few counties.

    My brother accidentally saved over my pretty advanced game. And I was surprisingly chill about it. Because it allowed me to send him a Bulbasaur and a Charmander which I would then reclaim with my new Squirtle run.

    In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Edmund is tempted by the White Witch with promises of his favorite candy, Turkish Delight.

    Imagine my disappointment when I found out it was basically just those nasty-ass gelatin cubes covered in powdered sugar. Fucking Applets and Cotlets.

    I don't believe in a heaven and hell, world in opposites kind of reality.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    that was another thing, you had to trade back and forth to get every evolution of the first three in your pokedex

    At 7’1”, 400 pounds, lineman Brave Williams is a big dude.

    The senior at Lake Shore High School in Angola, New York, is taller and heavier than any player currently on an NFL roster, according to MaxPreps’ Lynden Ostrander.

    "I've been bigger than everybody my entire life," Williams told Ostrander. "In kindergarten, I was already 5’3” and towered over everyone."

    Williams reportedly picked up football just three years ago, and he started three games at nose tackle last season. He also played on the varsity basketball team (presumably at center).

    Still raw, Williams is clearly a physical monster. He told Ostrander “his workouts include squats of 1,000 pounds three times and bench presses of 200 pounds 20 times.”

    Williams has not received a scholarship offer yet, but he hopes to earn one this season.
