PokéBase - Pokémon Q&A

Wall for SiIver (page 4)

I've always tried to post quality answers and I aim for the harder ones because they're more satisfying. I love Pokémon, I enjoy writing, and I enjoy helping people. So it's a very rewarding loop for me.

I could be wrong about this but I'm going to call out what I believe is the subtext of your question:
"You consistently come back to this site on a certain date, it's nice that you're contributing but it's a suspicious coincidence."

If you're suspicious of my activity over the last few years I can give you a timeline, as I've just looked and realized my activity on this site directly correlates to IRL events.

I stopped using the site regularly around 2017. Fell out of Pokémon for a couple years, became relatively inactive.

First, I came back June/July 2020 and remained active until May 2021. In May 2021, I got my first job. Yes, I came back primarily because I was writing the "psa" but I also was getting into Generation 8 competitive battles and I really liked talking to the new batch of users (SYL, Y, Glazio) who popped up so I stuck around.

I guess I didn't really come on much between 2022 and 2023. I definitely check in and see what's happening but I don't think I posted for two or three years.
Even though I played PLA and S/V, I had gotten into a romantic relationship, had a job, and was working on personal/artistic projects. This site wasn't exactly at the forefront of my mind, y'know?

Then in 2024 I lost my job and had to deal with a BS court case. That case ended in June! Then I had nothing to do so I came back here and answered a few questions. Actually, I have a year-old unfinished draft from a question I'm still trying to answer.
I put it on hold and stopped posting to focus on my game project. But my momentum waned when more of life's woes hit me and for the last eight months I have been painfully stuck.

Then they announced the Pokémon Presents a week or two ago and it reminded me that this site exists.

Yes I'm aware that I always come back around the anniversary of when I posted the "psa". I have an obsession with dates and rarely forget a birthday (look at my oldest wall posts). So naturally I remember this website when I see the calendar but this time it genuinely coincided with the Presents & Amethyst passing Mew. Pretty decent time to come back and answer a few questions.

Not sure how to respond to being called a bully :/

oh yeah I forgot about that! so if a user were to hit 2000 points in meta (which is the requirement in that section to edit other people's posts- retagging being 1000) but had 1500 points in main and less than 1000 points in RMT, they would be promoted to expert in all sections! Cool, considering as I have no downvotes and a decent amount of points in meta.

Oh. Funny, I never noticed (I deleted your post on my wall) anyway, I have a stupid question. A mod usually gives expert to the people the achieve 6,000 points, because they already have the abilities xoert would have, right? What I’m wondering is, if a user were to theoretically hit 6,000 in meta or RMT (which has probably never happened) would they be granted expert in all sections, even if they didn’t have expert or 6,000 points in the other two?

I thought about editing someone's answer for formatting but I decided against it

Yeah, I believe I already put my username on the meta post.
