Clefairy and Dratini should be good thanks to the gift encounters in the game corner, but I think you might have to hunt Raichu down in Gen 2.

Heads up that Pokemon found in gen 1's tall grass and cave tiles can't be shiny: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shiny_P...

This isn't an us vs them problem. Scalpers have been screwing Pokemon fans for years and they've got enough infrastructure to screw other franchises too. It sucks. I hate these guys for pricing today's kids out of a fun hobby I got to enjoy.

Be patient and wait for another run of those cards!

You're a bit misinformed about the severity of the damage scalpers have done to Pokemon's TCG. They inflate the prices on all Pokemon products - packs, decks, and limited booster boxes alike. Booster boxes and popular rare cards easily get inflated to triple digits in their hands.

You can start complaining when brawls start breaking out in the Target parking lot over Hazbin cards. Until then, a little patience is in order. A folder on your hard drive to admire the art might be useful too.

That makes sense in hindsight that Hell is basically just the setting and not much else. Wow. There's like infinite material we could've had in the show as commentary about the absolute state of modern Christianity in the US. That's so disappointing

Especially since common criticisms I see from people who've left evangelical/baptist/other cults using the name of Jesus as an excuse to sow fear, discord, and hatred in others aren't addressed. Why am I five episodes in and haven't seen someone damned for being a bigot + hating their neighbors yet?

Sure, and I believe I already established there were plenty of other ways he could've made a jab at Lucifer, that also made sense with the course of events in the show leading up to that point. I also admit I've been wrestling with trying to figure out how modern Christianity plays into the show

My issue with that line from Alastor is he never does anything like provide fatherly advice in the show. Not even close. Maybe he knows more about Charlie, or is more competent at running the hotel, or better at presenting a respectable image than Lucifer...but being a father figure? LOL. No way

also I guess I'm doubly confused since I'm jewish and this show is completely divorced from my religious background. My main question for the fans: what does hazbin hotel do in its narrative or framing that makes it appeal to you more than other shows?
