Is that a sandcastle?
Spoiler

Yeah, was confirmed awhile ago. They're called Sandygast and Palossand.



Pretty meh update. Passimian is the better of the two monkeys, but I probably wouldn't have caught either of them anyway.

Lycanroc's midday form confirmed better than midnight ::) I had a feeling this was gonna happen. I'll just pray that the midnight form has an awesome signature move, or maybe a good hidden ability.

Extreme Evoboost is the only exciting thing, because it basically confirms that not all Z-moves are going to be just "hurr durr MASSIVE DAMAGE" attacks. It's good to see a little bit of variety. That animation is obnoxiously long, though. It's almost a full minute.

Now you're just putting words in my mouth so I will fit your definition of a conservative. I never said improvement is an impossibility, but we need more time, and that's something we're quickly running out of.
No, we don't need time, we need resources--and we need worthless conservative faggots to stop hindering progress by claiming that we can't make progress. That humans are just too shitty to do anything remotely humanitarian.

When it's that specific mentality that's holding us back. Because you're emotional and illogical like that.

I fail to see how recognizing that we aren't perfect is a logical fallacy, if anything, it's logic.
Because it doesn't preclude us from trying to be as perfect as possible.

Pretending like we literally cannot improve is not logic. It's bullshit disguised as fear disguised as bullshit.

Very emotional and illogical. Like a conservative.

Yeah but you were never really invested in any of the Halo multiplayers to a significant extent. You were basically given the same experience as Destiny lite by only having experienced the Campaign and not Multiplayer in its peak.
Thus, it shouldn't be GotD, because it peaked--and now it's over.

A game of the decade should have an exemplary multiplayer AND single player experience long after its shelf life. Halo: CE had a very weak single player campaign, which should automatically bar it from discussion.

You might think that's an unreasonably high standard, but we're talking game of the decade here.

For 2000-2010. I think the Halo series has a shot of being up there.
you're kidding
As much as I hate it, I can't deny the impact Halo 1 had on consoles. I personally like Metal Gear more so. But I'm probably not thinking of some other games I loved.
If impact is the only factor in determining the game of the decade, then perhaps Halo isn't the worst choice--but I wouldn't necessarily say Pong is the best game of the 70s. I think there are other factors that should be examined as well, such as longevity (has it aged well) and the game's content itself.

You might love Halo: CE, but it aged like a fruit fly.

Metal Gear is a more solid choice, but personally, I'd give it to Wind Waker.

I have a few leftist ideas, actually. But full on leftists are always the same to me, they always resort to childish, emotional behavior and petty insults when I try to seriously argue about it. I've never been proven wrong.
There's literally nothing wrong with emotional behavior and petty insults. Get thicker skin and suck it up.

Emotional arguments are the problem--and conservatives almost exclusively make emotional appeals. Leftists never do.

Dark Souls multiplayer forsakes any possibility of it being game of the decade for me. It also has yet to outlast its meme status, which is necessary to mitigate bias or rose-tinted goggles when talking about the game.

I think it's too early to say right now. There are a lot of great games out. You gave me an idea for a different thread, though.

you don't trick unless you know it will fuck up the opponent. Otherwise you just use the specs yourself.

Like giving choice specs to a wall can completely fuck them up because they're reliant on using some combination of a status move/recovery move/protect

Or giving specs to something like azumarill/scizor who 100% won't be running a special set
Well yeah, that was the other thing. Since Flee's just now getting into this stuff, he's not gonna know when and when not to use moves like Trick, because he doesn't know what items are typically held by which Pokémon.

I have no idea what either of them do. And Adaptability seems great for Hyper Beam.
In thinking about it, yeah, Adaptability is better for the set you're going for.

Nasty Plot is like Swords Dance for special attacks--ie. it doubles your special attack stat. Scary shit.

Trick is a silly move that switches Porygon-Z's item with its opponent's, and since you're giving the defending Pokémon something like Choice Specs, it can severely cripple any Pokémon that need to use a different move every turn (Choice items lock you in to one move until you switch out). You might also get something nifty like Leftovers in return, which can be nice.

I don't like it because Porygon-Z isn't the fastest Pokémon in the world, which makes it difficult to use effectively against anything that outspeeds it. It could also totally backfire, and you might get something horrible in return, like Black Sludge or another Choice item. Not to mention, by giving our opponent Specs, you're sacrificing a lot of your own attack power (and potentially giving your opponent some attack power). It's just kinda dicey.

To be fair, Porygon Z is one of the few Pokemon that Hyper Beam is actually viable on. It's pretty badass as a revenge killer.
Time to breed a Porygon-Z I suppose. What would you suggest?
Porygon-Z @ Choice Specs
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest/Timid Nature
- Tri Attack/Hyper Beam
- Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt/Ice Beam
- Trick
I'd say Nasty Plot > Trick, and give it a Life Orb instead. People shit themselves when Porygon gets a boost off. I always thought Trick + Choice was kinda gimmicky.

I also prefer Download as an ability, but it's kinda tricky to use if you're just starting out.

yeah but then you have to use hyper beam...

I prefer tri attack because you can use it every turn so it's a net gain in damage over 2 turns plus the chance to burn/freeze/para
hyper beam is his favorite move

Smogon rules are well-regarded for being a much more "balanced" way to play the game which promotes team variety, especially because each of the metagame's core tiers (PU, NU, RU, UU, and OU) are based on how often a Pokémon is used, rather than how "good" a Pokémon is.

Also, Pokémon are banned only when they actually break the game, or when they promote decidedly un-competitive tactics--not just because they're a "Mythical Pokémon."

VGC is criticized for its arbitrary ban list and no team regulation whatsoever. You can put as many Pokémon to sleep as you want. Pokémon like Primal Groudon and Mega Kangaskhan run rampant on every single team, because they're that powerful. It's just a joke of a metagame when you don't have some regulation--but it's the official way to play.

A better question: is a single molecule of water wet?
I would say no.

Wetness implies the existence of at least two entities--one of them being water, the other being virtually anything.

In other news; Water: wet.
Water cannot be wet.
Doors can't shut. Fire isn't hot.
Wet as an adjective can only be applied to non-water entities.

That's not an argument
Neither is "wet as an adjective can only be applied to non-water entities." That's just a claim--says you. Why should I believe you?
