All right. Since I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to train three Magikarp simultaneously, I decided I would just pick the strongest out of the three. I'll put the other two in the Daycare when I make it there.

Based on my calculations (by simply averaging the six stats together), the stats are as follows:
Ol'Greg: 13.6 (repeating)
GyaraCUNT: 14.3 (repeating)
Azathoth: 13

However, Azathoth is one level weaker than the other two--so if I level her up, she still may very well be stronger, but we'll see.

Next up is Granite Cave. I don't really want to catch another Zubat (even though I like Zubat, I've used them far too often in the past, and they're a bitch to train), so I'll probably use a Repel or something and run down into the lower floor where there's more unique stuff available (particularly Mawile). I still might end up catching a Zubat, though.

I went with that strategy, but unfortunately, I forgot to make it so Grovyle was my lead. So even though I used a Repel, I encountered something that was about the same level as the member that WAS at the front of my party: Azathoth. Whoops <_<

Anyways, I encountered this thing:

It's a Makuhita. Fighting sumo wrestler type. Male.

This'll be the final catch for the night, I think.

What

It never occurred to me that you probably don't know what a nuzlocke is...

basically it's a set of self-imposed rules to make the single player games more challenging
1. you can only catch the first thing you see in each area and nothing else (if you mess up, too bad)
2. everything that faints is considered dead, and must be released (or put into a box labelled "RIP" or "Cemetery" in the PC)

there are lots of rules you can add to make it even harder, but i like to keep things vanilla
sometimes i'll do a "natural-locke", which is basically an extra rule that prevents you from using TMs

the name "nuzlocke" itself is derived from the webcomic that started the fad (it's quite funny; i recommend it)

they're pretty fun, but because i wanted to try something new, i thought i'd let sep7agon participate in the naming of all my teammates--but only if you roll a 7 at the end of all your posts here

No, what you gotta do is euthanize them. That way, you can eat them, and it's completely ethical. Because there's no pain!

GyaraCUNT

congrats

At the bottom left corner of a post there's a time signature. On PC, I just hover over that and it shows the post number.

oh, excellent

thank you

Can you see post number on mobile?

i don't know

the way i check is to just quote the post i'm checking, and in the url, the first long number after "action=post;quote=" is gonna be the post number

maybe there's a more intuitive way

all of those would have been one character too long lol

unless i got rid of the space in "Fish Sticks"

Uh... I don't want to hog names, so...
Ol'Greg

got it

this thread doesn't scream "14 likes" to me

My argument is that we need to research this properly and find better ways to deal with this.

Which is really fucking obnoxious (and stupid) to do if you don't actually have any ideas yourself.

That's probably one of the worst types of person. The type who bitches about some problem, talks about how the current solution is bullshit, but fails to present any specific alternatives himself. Yet thinks he's at all worthy to have a conversation with on the subject.

What I will say is that you keep conflating correlation with causation.

^ this

when someone on the right wing is schooling you about transgenderism, you know something's wrong with your argument

though, i don't think he knows what any of those words mean, tbh

i probably went in a little too hard, but fuck that pissed me off

No offense but there's a lot of cringe in this thread. Some of yall need to just get off the internet and reevaluate how you live your lives. Or work on self esteem.

Wow! It's like after reading this post, all of my problems just seem so small and insignificant! Thanks, Lord Starch! You know, you should tell this to everyone with depression! "Reevaluate how you live your life" and "Work on self-esteem!"

No, really, that's absolutely beautiful. Put that shit on a fucking T-shirt.

"Reevaluate how you live your life"

Maybe put them on some offshoot of the Livestrong bracelets. That'll sell millions!

"Work on self-esteem"
- Lord Starch

If I'da known it was all that simple, I woulda stopped being depressed YEARS ago! You're going places, man. You're gonna be the next Dr. Phil. I mean, everything you said--it's all so nuanced, so erudite, so considerate of the complexity of the issue, but most of all, it's... Fucking retarded. I mean, wow.

It's this sort of glib, vapid ignorance that only makes me hate people even more--Self-esteem is probably the last thing I need to "work on". Whatever the fucking fuck that even means. "Work on self-esteem"? Please, describe to me in your own words what you THINK that means. It'll be hilarious.

Needless to say, your post lacks the substance, sophistication, and tact required to tackle such an issue.

This is the exact type of mongoloid idiocy that I was trying to preempt.
What are you accomplishing by posting this utter shit here? Wait, don't answer that--I already know.

Never post on this board again.

i'm pretty proud of my wotd threads, tbh

It's why I often say that, when it comes to the optimism/pessimism dichotomy, pessimism is the rational outlook.
Even though it's often described as irrational.

Realism, of course, being the pseudo-intellectual meme outlook.
Realism is for pessimists who lack the cock to just admit that they're pessimists.
