I feel like shutting down every nuclear power plant during the same week, and moving all uranium rods out of the region, would’ve had an effect on the electricity. Like the poke centers would start having to use fire Pokémon to replace keeping the lights on or something

[@halo129830]

Your right take a look at the perizian nuclear power plant in Ukraine they have it dormant now meaning the third largest active power plant in Europe is offline. To compensate gas and other forms of electricity have had to pick up the slack. So removing fuel rods and shutting down plants isn’t the simple solution.

There are 4 ways that I can think of. Wind, Water, Manual, and Electric type pokemon.

You can also use a manual version of a wind turbine for humans or strong Pokemon to use.

I gotta say the twist at the end with Lucile was something i predicted from the start.

It's poorly maintained and outdated equipment that causes issues, and those issues are incredibly rare. Out of nearly 500 active plants in the world, there have been exactly 3 major nuclear disasters, and ALL of them could have been avoided if people had just taken care of the plants like they were supposed to. Nuclear power has killed fewer people than ALL other forms of energy production and is _absolutely_ necessary if we want to have ANY hope of halting and/or reversing climate change.

@@RabblesTheBinx when a *single* Hydro dam collapsing (the Bacqiao Dam) killed more people than ALL nuclear power plant incidents, you have a point.

Furthermore the game has some witty and funny details, that just make it impossible not to love it, like how you evolve Cararalm by giving him a Coconut Healing Item or the cute references to Marie Curie, Oppenheimer and others. The post game and side quests were also pretty nice, although I was a bit sad that some of the post game was not yet finished, but I also think I never really finished all of the post game. Maybe I should try finishing the pokedex on my old file someday... Lastly I loved my final team, especially Pajay, Luxelong and Frosthra. Those were absolute carries!!
