  1. Clauses in the metagame

    For those of you that think evasion and OHKO is annoying but not unbalanced: When are you going to face this? If it sucks, it won't get to or stay at the top of the ladder. The luck is stacked against the user, so winning consistently will be difficult. If you can't beat luck users more often...
  2. The Ultimate Showdown (OU Warstory)

    decent game. if you explain your moves, the reader can get into the battle and know how you use the team. also, mispredictions and sacrafices make some sense this way. fortunately, i listened to "the ultimate showdown" after reading the title, so i enjoyed it anyway.
  3. Stimulating your brain

    run get exercise early in the morning its good for establishing routine and combating laziness you will have more energy and be more alert that way you're actually awake in the morning and it requires no thinking, so your brain will be free for a productive day sounds weird, but it works if...
  4. Good Books?

    When recommending books and other potential fine art mediums, clarifying whether the book is good or entertaining is important. Length, difficulty and availability of quality adaptations [if you want to read kite runner, watch the movie instead] are also important factors. For literature, please...
  5. Does this infuriate anyone else like it does me?

    The author sounds racist. Not once did he mention that these kids are legal US citizens. The tone seems like he's afraid that Mexicans will out-breed white Americans. He also complains that these kids (who can't legally work) are too poor. I do agree illegal immigration is a problem, but I...
  6. The Art of Lorak's Oasis

    I know you've done tyranatar already, but I think bandanatar has a lot of potential in pirate garb with a chatot on his shoulder or with a motorcycle jacket.
  7. Legalize it. ALL of it.

    You should be allowed to do what you want with your body, but I have a feeling that certain laws exist to keep the public productive workers--Suicide is also illegal. This should be legal in your home or (drug) bar. If you are high in public, you are putting the safety of others at risk (like...
  8. locopoke vs. Queso Grande: An Uber Warstory!

    I liked the sprites. I was disappointed that his play couldn't make up for his horrible team. Wobbofet only set up a sub punching darkrai, which could have set up on anything slower (not in this battle). That slot could be better used on an actual check to groudon since it isn't setting up...
  9. Your most Memorable moment from Gold/Silver

    I restarted my silver version and ran into a shiny pigy between cherrygrove and violet city. I had around 5 pokeballs and it was level 2-4. I was afraid of killing it so I didn't attack, and the button mash technique failed me. Now I carry 100 pokeballs in every game once I can afford it.
  10. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 16

    This was answered by BlackBlastoise. MOST nfes were banned because they were considered too similar to their evolved counterparts (played in the same way). Many people didn't want UU to be OU lite (playing with the nfes of the OU Pokémon). "Unique" nfes like pikachu (light ball sweeper) and...
  11. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 16

    The wish bagon was an advanced gen event. sorry I have a breeding question (egg hatching question). The breeding guide says that the step counter is reset every 256 steps. When this occurs, the game checks if there are eggs on your team. If the egg counter is not 0, it gets decreased by 2...
  12. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 16

    tested on a porygon with conversion, psybeam, rain dance, sunny day got water type. got psychic type from rest, normal type from conversion, and poison type from toxic. It always changes your type if it can, so you wouldn't get normal on your first go. Nasty plot doesn't exist in emerald, but I...
  13. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 16

    I have a breeding question (egg hatching question). The breeding guide says that the step counter is reset every 256 steps. When this occurs, the game checks if there are eggs on your team. If the egg counter is not 0, it gets decreased by 2. If the egg counter is 0 or less, the egg hatches. If...
  14. Communists Unite!

    The concept of equal opportunity in capitalism is ridiculous. Everyone is born into a different financial situation. The wealth of your parents determines the education and opportunities you get, as well as the wealth you inherit. To make this equal, you would have to take money from the wealthy...
  15. Garchomp and this Metagame

    I don't know why people complain about Garchomp. He is covered by any good team. I use: Scarf Abomashow (100% blizzard) Band Mamoswine Band Weavie HP ice Bronzong Cress Deoxys Garchomp can usually only kill one of my pokes before I take it down. I don't have to worry about covering Garchomp at...
