    Got the BestBuy deal and it will be here next Friday which will give us time to pay bills and get paid so we can get Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu.

    So for anyone looking to level Pokémon up from teens to the 40s you have to go to Diglett Cave. Start a combo streak and rinse and repeat. I am up to 125 now and have racked up 30-36x multipliers with excellent throws. In the course of this I’ve received 60 some Diglett candy, 2000+ quick candy, 950 L quick candy and 500 XL quick candy. I am riding on the Arcanine you trade 5 meowths for in Vermillion Cit which makes scrolling through the cave faster.

    And for all those Chansey lovers the place is crawling with them. I dodge them to get more of my precious Digletts.

    Got Articuno and Zapdos. Hit up the fortune teller in Celadon and set natures to Timid (+Spe/-Att) beforehand so both are timid.

    I bought the switch bundle with Mario kart 8 for Santa to give to my 6 year old. Got delivered yesterday. Countdown is on for how many days I let it sit before I start 'getting it set up and ready'.

    This reminds me of when a young Wu got a Sega genesis for Christmas. Papa Wu has me open it first then open the rest of the gifts while he sets it up.

    Turns out he fired it up and started playing, coincidentally locking the bedroom door so I couldn’t get in. Crying and pounding on the door while he’s cackling and collecting rings was traumatizing.

    This is hilarious. I can hear you crying while he cackles of the "bling bling" sounds of Sonic collecting rings.

    I've never been good, or really into much, at fighting games. Should I get smash?

    Yes. It’ll still present you the opportunity to win matches.

    Obviously the main thing that’s different is the health meters being percentages that just give you an indication of how susceptible you are to being launched off the stage. I don’t like fighting games either because the health meters usually stress me out.

    It's a very different sort of fighting game, as you'd expect from N.

    There's a learning curve but only because it doesn't control the way a traditional fighting game does, so that might be good for you. Once you figure it out, you'll be having fun in no time. From there, you can dig into it more, because it has a tremendous amount of depth.

    Just got a switch on black friday but only have Kart and Stardew Valley (wife is obsessed). Is Skyrim worth getting on switch? Obvi have it for PC but might be nice for trips but wondering about the controls.

    Want to get tennis but $60 is steep for something I'll only play when people are over...
