  • Basically…

    Pokemon from Gens 3~7 (2000s to early 2019) can only be brought forward using a system that will no longer be officially supported at some point.

    Pokemon in Gens 8 and 9 (the Switch games) are mostly considered “current”, and can be swapped around between any current game and Pokemon Home.

    Pokemon Home costs money to store Pokemon.

    Generally, moving Pokemon between generations involves transferring them using some special tool. The final destination (unless you want to pay money) is usually a game, because that’s where you can actually use them. The games also have plenty of storage that’s “free” (at least, not subscription-based).

    Pokemon in the games had been stored inside cartridges from Gen 1 to Gen 7 (90s to early 2019). It was only with the Switch that game saves (and thus Pokemon) stopped being saved to the cartridges, and instead were saved to the console’s internal storage (not even an SD card).

    Until 2019, getting a new console for your Pokemon games meant nothing – you’d be able to use your old Pokemon and saves on the new console by plugging in your old game.

    This is the first time you had to do anything special to get your saves onto your new console.

    For added context, Nintendo offers a cloud saves for players to back up their Switch game saves.

    Pokemon is the one of the only Nintendo franchises to not support cloud saves.


  • If it wasn’t for the AI nonsense, this could’ve actually been a great idea.

    Businesses might want to use Reddit comments as ads.

    Reddit says “Hey, let us find those glowing reviews that we have as Reddit comments, and you can link directly to the original source!”

    Then the original comment writer could edit their comments to call political figures pedos, and businesses learn their lesson that this kind of stuff is not suited for using Reddit as a primary source, lol





  • Do you live somewhere that you can get around without relying on a car (or someone with a car)?

    If not, can you reasonably move to and live in a place like that?

    If those are options, do those.

    If not, learn how to drive properly and safely. DO NOT drive unless you feel in control of the car on public roads.

    “Not being good at multitasking” isn’t an excuse to put people’s lives in danger.

    Some people need more time to learn and practice and that’s fine. You need to take responsibility and take that time to learn and practice.

    It may need more than lessons. It might require therapy. But if you need to drive, then you need to drive safely. And relying on other people to drive for you is not the answer either.
