Pokemon Fans Share Their Favorite Dumb Roadblocks

Pokemon has always been a series that has largely allowed you to explore each region however you like, especially nowadays as the Games transition to an open world format. However, there have been instances where a Pokemon Game doesn't want you to venture forth until you've obtained a particular item or talked to a plot important character, setting up a creative roadblock to stop you from progressing.

Most of these tend to come in the form of a Pokemon blocking your way (like Snorlax or Sudowoodo) or you needing a certain HM, but there have been many cases in which these roadblocks don't make that much sense. Pokemon fans have been sharing their favorite "dumb roadblocks" on the series' subreddit, showcasing just how silly they can get.

A popular choice for many on the subreddit is the irritated old man from Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. Annoyed that he hasn't been able to get his morning fix of caffeine, the old man lays down in the middle of the road while his poor family try to move him. Thankfully, he gets up and teaches you how to catch Pokemon once he's finished his coffee, although I'm sure we can all relate to that man's plight.

Another popular, and also very meta, choice comes from u/hjyboy1218, who brings up the absurd group of dancing men in Pokemon Black and White 2. These men will dance in a line to prevent you from going any further in your journey, knowing full well they're a roadblock for the player as they sing "We dance for no reason. We'll disappear for no reason" while blocking your path. Very funny, Game Freak.

Other popular choices include the Luminose City worker from Pokemon X and Y who stops you from exploring the city due to a blackout - despite there being a block of brightly lit buildings behind him - and the pack of sleeping Wooloo in Pokemon Sword and Shield that you have to walk around so you don't wake them up. There hasn't been a roadblock more effective than that in my eyes. Let those precious Wooloo rest.

Russell Westbrook signs with Clippers: Former MVP lands back in L.A. after Lakers trade, per report

Former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers once he finalizes a buyout with the Utah Jazz, his agent told Adrian Wojnarowski. Westbrook was trade d from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Jazz as part of a three-team deal ahead of the trade deadline earlier this month. In 52 games for the Lakers this season, the majority of them off the bench, Westbrook averaged 15.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. But while his counting stats were still solid, his defense, inefficient shooting (41.7 percent from the field, 29.6 percent from 3-point land) and poor fit next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis were once again a problem for the Lakers. There was also the fact that James was publicly lobbying for the team to trade him, which did not help the vibes in the locker room.  But despite some of Westbrook's issues with the Lakers, and his declining play in recent years, the Clipp...

Bruno Fernandes names Portugal teammate he wants Man Utd to sign

Image
Bruno Fernandes has encouraged Manchester United to act on their interest in Benfica midfielder Joao Neves. United have regularly scouted the 19-year-old and were in attendance as he shone in Benfica's recent 2-1 win over Sporting CP, watching the teenager alongside scouts from both Arsenal and Liverpool. Neves' excellent form this season has seen him rewarded with two caps for the Portugal national team. The youngster came off the bench for the final five minutes of October's 5-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina and saw another three minutes against Liechtenstein on Thursday. Asked about United's interest in Neves, Fernandes admitted he'd be keen to see the teenager join him at Old Trafford but only if manager Erik ten Hag sees a future for him. "It has to be the Manchester United coach who says whether he has a place in the team or not," Fernandes told a press conference. "He's a great player, I don't know if he would have a place or not. I...
