have yall beaten the game yet? i still havent, i spend a lot of time fooling around in the wild area

i dont have a picture, but my team consists of inteleon, boltund, thievul, centiskorch, alcreamie, and sandaconda

the latter 3 cant gigantmax, which i think is REALLY stupid that only some pokemon of a species can gmax

i know it's not the best team ever but i wanted to go in this game blind, rather than know my team beforehand, which i usually do

intelleon? i'm not sure what your name is in-game, but i may have joined a couple of your max raids (my in-game name is J)

i think i'm on the cusp of beating the game, but since i'm playing along with a couple friends, i'm stopping myself from actually beating the game before they catch up

and yeah, the gigantamax thing is definitely stupid as hell—i can only imagine someone going through the whole game with a corviknight or something, training it up from the beginning as a rookidee, only to discover that it'll NEVER be able to achieve its ultimate form, and that if you want to use it, you'll have to catch some other random corviknight that you never grew attached to or give a shit about, because it's not YOUR corviknight

not only that, corviknight has a cool hidden ability, so you might end up finding that gigantamax corviknight, only for it to have something shitty like Unnerve, which you can't do anything about

like i was saying before, it really is the worst

meanwhile, as a supporter of this garbage:



here's the team i'm rolling with coming into the endgame

as much as i like galar's new additions, i did kinda just wind up using legacy mons for the entire playthrough, mainly because rain is an insanely fun strategy to build a team around, and i've been desperately trying to make it work again since gen 6 when the weather wars died, but galar hasn't really offered much in the way of rain support as far as i've been able to tell

- i'd prefer to be using a politoed right now, but pelipper is literally the only rain setter available in galar, and i suppose he's objectively better than politoed anyway. i just think it's a boring pokemon design-wise

- raichu synergizes well with pelipper with its 100% accurate thunders and ability to use surf, although she's gonna have to get replaced as soon as i'm able to grind out a lightning rod pikachu in max raid battles (which has been a miserable experience)

- toxicroak is my favorite member; he's very powerful and has fantastic residual recovery with black sludge + dry skin, which also makes him immune to opposing water-type moves (so raichu can spam surf in doubles with no repercussions). sucker punch was nerfed, however, which makes me very sad

- ferrothorn is ferrothorn

- ninjask is only here for baton pass shenanigans; toxicroak is his best friend

- crawdaunt is only here because before buying the game, i used a random number generator to determine a single pokemon that i HAD to include in my team, but otherwise, he's probably the first thing getting replaced once i beat the game

all the galar pokemon i was interested in using don't really have any synergy with rain whatsoever, which is a shame (except for barraskewda, but i don't know if having a barraskewda over a rapid spinner or spinblocker would be intelligent)

Who are you again?

the arbiter of what is metal music

"Sonic the Hedgehog" is a term for any disease that gives children autism.

or cancer

seriously

So the Stadia controller is gender neutral?

The fuck does that even mean?

they're referring to the color scheme i think

pokemon sword & shield aren't that bad; dexit sucks but it's not the end of the world

VR is good and the future

but it's not really what i want from half-life

Wait, you think my memes and shit posting comes from a place of hate??? How do you suppose that? I don’t post anything outta hate bro, I shit post cuz that’s all it is, shit posting and memes. Offensive memes because the world is fucked and offensive. Nobody, no matter their ideals, creed, politics or any other affiliation matter. The world is supremely fucked so what’s it matter?

Plus wtf did you forget all the times we chatted? Got dayum

if it doesn't matter, then why are you upset

even i know that there's a place for edgy humor, and that not everybody appreciates it

meanwhile, i was kicked for refusing to tolerate the presence of this cunt

look who was right

really because i would think those machines would cost a lot more than $5

You can't kill Vince McMahon. He's got a victory over God.

what are your thoughts on AEW

all my friends who used to like WWE hate it now and say AEW is way better

What's illogical about not wanting a negative person around?

nothing, but we're not talking about negative people

we're talking about people that you personally dislike

big difference

"If you don't like the way I'm affecting your social life maybe you should surrender that social circle to me and walk away from it, so I can slowly push everyone else out of that group too, instead of just ejecting me from that circle and saving your extended friendship."

pretty sure blocking has always been a feature of the website

pretty sure it's a far less draconian solution too

Terry past 100% is honestly broken. You can't roll, have to play scared to avoid dying. Shit is wild lol

yeah i can't say i really enjoy fighting him that much, but i'm starting to learn

So your assertion that you're not an asshole because you don't go out of your way to be an asshole is a pointless and trivial one. You're an asshole because you are an asshole, and you can't work on making yourself a more decent human being because somewhere along the way, you started to feel entitled to be the biggest dickhead in any room you walk into.

i never said i wasn't an asshole, though, i just don't think that should be a bannable offense

especially when everyone is an asshole, and it's just about trying to figure out the most socially acceptable way to be one

which i refuse to do because i'm not fake like that
