[QUOTE="Jumpman16, post: 3870441, member: 283668"] aragornbird is my hero... Trip report at his request, and really, it's the least I can do after being directed to this fantastic rom. Right now, I'm in the Dreamyard, even though I have four badges, because I want to have a Modest Synchronize Munna/Abra to synch the Eevee we find in Cold Storage so I can have a Modest Vaporeon. It almost sounds like I'm defeating what I felt would be the most liberating things about playing a rom "hack", something I've never had any interest in doing before (even if I've only had my CycloDS for about 16 months), but the very ample opportunities to really get what you want in and from this game are so abundant and well-laid out that I would be doing myself a disservice. Anyway, that specific NON-digression was relayed to highlight a specific area of the game aragornbird has worked on in such great detail that I feel some of it may go unnoticed. Synchronize, of course, allows you to manipulate the nature of wild encounter pokemon, which is a very welcome ability.

Just ordered two new 4k Blu-rays. Bram Stokers Dracula 30th Anniversary 4k Steelbook and Basket Case Limited Edition 4k.

discs are soooooo much better quality than 4k streaming netflix, amazon, etc. and heavily compressed hvec, x264/5, etc rips.

Sure, if you really want/"need" the highest quality there is you can grab remuxes. But will be pretty big file sizes, so disks can be better in that regard.
But piracy is free so...
