  • My favourite thing is we have discovered it is possible to get a mew in red/blue/probably green directly after finishing nugget bridge.

    Its not even that difficult, though catching Abra can be time consuming if you aren’t abusing save states.

    I can’t remember which trainer triggers the mew fight, but the basic steps are as follows:

    1. After beating the last trainer on nugget bridge, go immediately to the left and down, and hunt for an Abra in the patch of grass (avoid the trainer there as they can be used for an advanced version of this glitch later. Make sure you do not delete teleport when you get the Abra.
    2. Go to the right of nugget bridge. Try and keep the trainers 1 space off screen, and line yourself up with where they will appear.
    3. Step into their line of sight, and press start before the encounter script triggers.
    4. Go to pokemon, select Abra, and use teleport.
    5. Walk back up towards nugget bridge. Once you cross over to another area (eg enter a route from town) a battle will trigger!
    6. This pokemon will always be level 7, with set stats. Each trainer will always force the spawn of the same pokemon, and when you are able to encounter dittos, you can actually forcefully spawn any pokemon you want based on your Pokemon’s special stat.



  • And I don’t drive a large crossover, I drive an escape phev, carpool with 2 other people, and use it for more than just ‘30 pounds of groceries’.

    I have filled it to the brim and gone camping multiple times this year, use it to transport my recycling to the transfer station every couple months, and at least twice a year do a large grocery shop at the Costco 4 hours away, stuffing it as full as I can manage.

    I regularly use it to transport things that wouldn’t fit in a vehicle smaller than this one. Hell, I managed to stuff my stove in the thing, though only just barely.

    For my daily commute, since I charge it both at home and at work, I only burn 3-4L of gas, which I would say is quite good for nearly 150km.

    The only way for my daily/weekly/monthly/yearly routine to be more eco friendly is if I could afford to trade it in for a full electric vehicle - and with the trips I do on a regular basis (including camping, day trips to the ‘nearby’ lakes, occasional work driving), I would need something with a range above 600km, preferably 700km to be safe in the winter. Otherwise I would have to maintain 2 vehicles - one an electric with a range of at least 200km and the other a small truck or mid sized SUV, and that kind of defeats the entire purpose.


  • That works in the city but i live in a remote area, and have an hour and a half round trip to work every day because its not economically viable for me to move closer.

    Since I doubt Canada/BC will spend the money putting in viable public transit/high speed rail, I just want them to do the bare minimum to allow me to afford to stop burning gas to afford my next meal.

    While striving for turning every small town into a walkable city sounds great and amazing on paper, the reality is it won’t happen, so we should push for baby steps in the right direction instead only focusing on the absolute ideal.
