  1. Ideas on God and the creation of the universe are always changing for me. I grew up in a family that was loosely religious, my dad was catholic and my mum was christian and i occasionally went to sunday church with an older sister. I believed in this religion simply because i was brought up with it, the same way a primary school child learns maths because they learn it from school, it was just life. I wasn't told to question what i was taught, from religion to maths.(I should say here my mother was adamant that I should be the one to make my own decision on my religion while i was growing up, not someone else, but i was still taught these views through church and my primary/lower school) In my teen years I started questioning my religion and why i believed in it, and why other people would do the same. I no longer believe in any organised religion. The same way a Hindu wouldn't believe in the Christian Faith, or a Catholic wouldnt believe in the Muslim faith(although a quote comes to mind right now thats something like "religions are all strands of the same rug, just different colours" - someone that isnt me). I have plans to re-read the bible as well as other religious texts such as the Qur'an, not so I can follow these religions but just so I can understand their followers better. For me, I don't need a god or a religion to do the right thing(...most of the time), and don't really like the threat of an eternity of flames as a way to reinforce this. Just thought I'd throw my two cents into this, since the community seems to be.(didn't mean any hate if any of my comment came across that way)

  9. what the fuck is going on here
  10. Forum Name: rupe Server Name: rupe Opinion of your own skills (1-10): Probably at least a 3 Timezone: GMT Hours best for you: 12PM-3/4AM maybe? flexible Hours worst for you: early morning Anticipated time away (June 28th <-> September 19th) 1 week in August, don't know the date
  11. IMO if you go into a team builder and start making a team based off checking off things you think you need instead of building a team yourself, you're going to have a bad time(in styles other than stall that is). You need to start with your win condition(s) and work backwards: How do you get rid of counters to the win condition(s)? How do you safely switch them in? How do you wall against main threats to the win condition? Is hazard removal needed for your win condition(s)(Ie: Dragonite and Volcarona hate Stealth Rock)? It's really nice to have all of the things that people have listed above, but more thought is typically needed when constructing a powerful team. Just my opinion. :]
  12. Every morning at 8 am I open my eyes to the sight of freedom. I hear birds chirp the morning anthem of freedom. A tear of salty freedom streaks down my cheek, as I realise we will never quite be as free as Americans.
  13. I feel that I should comment a little little nitpick. Huge Power base 60 attack is stronger than base 120 attack. Max base 120 hits a stat of 372 Max Base 60 hits a stat of 240, which, after the Huge Power boost achieves a stat of 480.
  14. Before I start talking I think it should be said that I'm currently undecided on which side of the fence I stand with this suspect. There are definitely positives and negatives that come with Aegislash into the OU meta. I'm not here to argue any side just provide some extra detail which some of you here may have overlooked. In XY OU, Aegislash was a massive threat. It was seen on every single team because of how versatile it was, how well it checked and countered many top threats in the tier and how many different positions it can fill only using one slot. There was not a down side to using Aegislash, it was simply one of the best 'mons in OU. Not because it was "uncounterable" or "uncheckable", because it definitely is, but because it was simply too versatile, with incredible defensive and offensive usages. Below are some popular aegislash sets, with the set I named "Standard.dot" being one of the most wide spread : Popular pokemon in the tier and how they fare against Aegislash. You can decide for yourself what is a check or counter, and what Aegislash checks and counters. (Calcs are included, also be aware that SR damage.) Potential Meta-Game changes: Some notable mons that will probably decline in usage with Aegislash in the tier: Some notable mons that will probably increase in usage with Aegislash in the tier: Feel free to agree or disagree with the above. I planned on writing a lot but then i kinda lost motivation. I guess this is something that might be useful for people. Final things to consider: How much usage this thing will see because of simply how good it is and how many of the top tier threats (see: S and A+ rank) it deals with. Do you want to see it on every team? Will it be on every team? The inevitable 50/50s that King's Shield will produce. Will people end up using a formula of Aegislash / Mon to deal with Aegis / Mon to sweep after Aegis + 3 mons? Will Aegislash solve all of our issues? Does Lopunny with Power-Up-Punch completely deal with Aegislash?????
  15. I disagree with Blaziken, Aegislash and Deoxys formes returning to OU. Blaziken with a Life orb is stronger than mega blaziken and can avoid its counters with baton pass, Deoxys-formes have been addressed by Cowtao and Aegislash (which now works on this server) is just too crazy good in too many situations to warrant a place in any secure OU tier. I also Agree with Greninja getting suspected, it's too good in too many situations and anyone who denies that its breaking the OU meta game either doesnt actually play and is theorymonning, or simply doesnt know enough about the tier to correctly judge.

  18. Showdown keeps more updated. Battling is better(although seemingly slower). More reliable. Browser based. Sounds cool. Also the whole names thing shouldn't be an issue because Reborn is making a server on showdown, so every name will be available as far as I'm aware. For example, I password protected the name "rupe" on the main PS server, I'd have to password protect it AGAIN on Reborn's server. The above is a lie, I just tested it.
