I'll admit that wasting time bothering with this is pointless when I know it won't go anywhere.

Well if you're just going to create bullshit examples and completely misinterpret what I say and get all emotional, yeah, it's a huge waste of time.

I'm glad that you have the magical ability to sense emotion through forum posts, Chally.

you've been using the internet for how long?

probably like 3rd or 4th grade

you should probably be able to sense emotion through text by now, then

it's not a magic, either

Please note that the game is a REPRODUCTION. Also note that the item come from CHINA. Shipping can take up to 30 DAYS. Thank you!

what does it mean by "reproduction"?

Copies created by a third party, ie. not manufactured or distributed by Nintendo.

Buying another game is probably just gonna result in more data failure. Gen II is near-unplayable at the moment.

Apart from doing the unthinkable, I would just cross my fingers and hope Nintendo VCs it.

Battery's dead. It happens when games are 15+ years old.

Better break out the soldering iron.

But, not forward to looking hype it.

What's the difference between alt-right and not alt right help me

the "alt-right" is a blanket term that describes various right-wing ideologies that are on the fringe of conservative politics, often taking alternative approaches to various established ideas

libertarianism is an example of an alt-right ideology--they're fiscally conservative, but what makes them "alt" is that they are socially liberal

they also tend to be batshit insane

So, for the first time since Gen V, I took the time to build a competitive team:


It's a rain team--or at least, as much of a rain team as I can make since the weather nerf. I don't care to make any other archetype--rain is my style, and I'm gonna stick with it through thick and thin.

Politoed is Politoed. It's a pretty shitty Pokémon (especially these days), but I absolutely need it for Drizzle. As such, it's pretty much the only reason I have him. In the past, when rain didn't suck, I could afford to give him things like HP + Specs, or even HP + Zoom Lens--but now that rain sucks, I have to give him some kind of half-assed defensive set with the goal of keeping him alive as long as possible. Toxic is for wearing down big walls that I wouldn't easily be able to take out otherwise, and Rest is just to ensure he lasts longer than he should. He's definitely the load of the team. I really wish I had more options.

Swampertite is my choice of Mega Evolution. Mega Swampert is a very powerful physical sweeper who is a speedy monster in the rain. Practically nothing can outspeed this thing when it's raining. All of his attacks can OHKO just about anything they need to, given the target has the right weaknesses. Power-Up Punch is awesome because it's a guaranteed method of getting progressively stronger, unlike Superpower, which only makes me progressively weaker. I've had a lot more success using Power-Up Punch than you might think. Also, Swampert's Ground typing offers the invaluable immunity to Electric moves.

Tornadus-T provides the final piece of the trinity I have going on between Politoed and Swampert. Whereas Swampert covers Politoed's vulnerability to Electric-types, Tornadus provides resistance to Grass-types, and can threaten them heavily with Hurricane, which is 100% accurate in the rain. I also gave him Rain Dance, because without permanent rain, I need all the support I can get. Unfortunately, having Rain Dance basically obliges me to have a Damp Rock--an otherwise shitty item that I would rather replace with something like a Life Orb, but oh well. 8-turn rain is very important.

Ferrothorn is obligatory. I would be remiss if I didn't include something so extraordinarily useful in my team. He's essentially a simple trap setter and defensive wall, and anything that touches him will receive a stinging 27% damage. It resists basically everything that matters, and even its main weakness--Fire--it curtailed somewhat by the rain. Thunder Wave is to ensure that no one can outspeed the other teammates.

Zapdos is there just because I like the benefit of 100% accurate Thunder in the rain. He has Rain Dance, too, and he's a Defogger in case my opponent sets up too many hazards. Heat Wave can surprise certain Grass or Bug-types when it's not raining anymore.

Kabutops is another physical sweeper. In retrospect, I should probably swap him out for Omastar or a special sweeper instead, because I already have Swampert. The original idea was to have Zapdos and Tornadus be my special attackers while Swampert and Kabutops were my physical attackers, but Kabutops finds himself vastly overshadowed by Swampert in every way. He has access to different moves like Stone Edge, and his access to Rapid Spin and Aqua Jet carves him a small niche, but when it comes time to sweep, I generally just opt for Swampert instead.

If anyone has any tips, feel free to share.

INTJ-A

80% of people who answer INTJ are lying 100% of the time.

why's that?

It's the "smart guy" meme personality

sounds like you guys are IMTJ

"I Am Too Jealous"

It's okay. A lot of crap, though--which is kinda to be expected, considering that it's basically pop's bastardization of hardcore punk.

i vacillate between INTJ, INTP, and ISTJ depending on the weather

How the fuck is defending somebody who's been insulted overly-protective


I'm pretty sure that's just called protective

Also how the fuck can you white knight for your spouse

Because there comes a point where it stops being protective and starts being sexism, the implication being that women need a man to defend them.

how is it sexist to protect your love ones you have to be kidding

If a man gets insulted, and a women stands up for him, the man is belittled and made fun of for needing "his woman" to protect him.

If a woman gets insulted, it's the man's duty to stand up for her, or else he's just a fucking coward.

When in reality, people should just handle their own problems.

people should defend their loved ones regardless of gender

People should defend themselves.

literally why though
