Point is understood, just be a bit more careful with word uses. You might accidentally sound a bit aggressive otherwise, even though your intentions are noble. Well, taxes are percentage-based, so in absolute terms, you are demanded to pay more depending on your income (and capital, but idk if that's the same in the US). But indeed, if you earned that money fairly, you have the right to use it as you want (within legal boundaries). The problem becomes twofold when it comes to inheritance and income. First, inheritance makes it possible for people to get massive arbitrary advantages to the point that some people hardly have to contribute anything to society, while sitting on an egregious amount of money. I don't say one should abolish it, but a close eye has to be held to it, so the difference doesn't become too unfair. The second part is that an economy depends on the amount of money circulating in it. So technically it's bad for an economy if lots of money are being sat on, because it lowers the amount of money flowing around. If you make/have so much money that you don't spend most of it, that's not very good for the economy, and those liquid assets could be better used elsewhere. I do agree that competition lowers prices, no point in arguing over that About innovation, in theory it could reward innovation, but with the current patent system, it mainly stagnates it. It's a topic on its own, with a central role for Disney I give the average person the benefit of the doubt when it comes to fiscal responsibility. But when fallacies in the legal system screw you over, for some people it means a vicious cycle of misery just because they're poor. As an American, I think you are wel aware of the many people hefted by the housing market bubble, credit companies, or those who spend years in jail for crimes hardly worth that (especially those who got incarcerated in the 'tough on crime'-age, while sentences for their crimes have drastically lowered). Even if people are ambitious, some people are hardly capable of 'climbing the ladder', for example those with handicaps. No-one is talking about taking money from others, we think that people should be properly compensated for their work. The only government interference is in making sure employers are held to that they pay at least minimum wage. In our country, we have something called job students (age around 15-24, still in school/college), which are treated differently than actual employees (for example, they have a maximum hours of work in a year). It would be rather ridiculous to demand minimum wage for them, and that's not what we demand. The thing about seeking jobs is that it's also based on supply-demand. Even if you have a bad job, the fear of not being able to get another job keeps a lot of people from seeking others, especially in crisis. A lot of the socialistic propositions are to level the playing field in a fair manner, by providing people with the tools to build themselves a better future equitiously*. It is also to make sure wealth inequality doesn't get out of control, which in turn is bad for the economy. On a side note, I think you will like the 'adam ruins everything'-episodes concerning work, those things also apply here in Europe. *please tell me if that's a correctly spelled word...

No, you're just an idiot Jk, though. Some of the mentions here are epiphanies to me (lake trio in particular). Doesn't help that english was my 2nd-3rd language at that point.

Minimum wage means how much an employer has to pay...well, at minimum, regardless what or who the employer is. Basically, it states that someone's time (lending their sevice) is worth at least a certain amount of money. This shouldn't be mixed up with unemployment pay, in which case the government is paying you. But that's a bit of a different story. As for how much is needed to live, one could argue that this means 'to live healthy and productive'. So, you would have to include housing, sustenance (foods etc.), health, education, the needs to actually apply for work (like transport) and a small buffer for safety*/a small amount of comfort (and perhaps some other factors which I forgot while typing this). So a minimum wage would mean that with the projected income on such wage for a model work week is satisfactory to meet those needs, based on the definition I stated at the beginning of this paragraph. It's not very easy to get a decent estimate, especially if conditions vary wildly in the area legislated. (healthcare, income distribution, land price...) So if you can live on a minimum wage, that doesn't mean everyone can (while that's the goal). Simply put, I fail to understand the cohesion in your argument. If you want to understand where the people you're take a stab on might get their idea of raising taxes for upper class to get money to sustain lower classes, you might want to research the role and workings of productivity as well as purchasing power. *you want to keep people productive instead of worrying about a possible accident ruining their lives.

*high-fives*

I wonder with the Reborn team making new move animations, if those can/will be implemented in Uranium, too, if finished (since essentials)...

Well, trickery is needed for getting that key, but the rest goes fairly well. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for all the suggestions, they really helped! I considered all of them to find out what would aid me the best. In the end, I think I'll go for Heracross/Rotom-H. I got decent natured ones, and they seem to give me plenty coverage I don't have (never used them, either). I'll go with a Timid set for the Rotom (maybe I'll name it Arki), but I'm not sure what to run on Heracross eventually (besides Megahorn and Close Combat). What do you guys think would work best for moveset/EVs in a run? I can have either Adamant or Jolly.

I should have been less cryptic and said I tried to have Shaymin-Sky (but that's probs for when national dex). So for suggestions, please consider I would have a grass-flying type on my team. I basically have nothing to fight Lucian (if Crunch on Armada the Garchomp is seen as temporary. Plus Bronzong vs Bronzong could be quite the stalemate). For information, Scizor could run Bullet Punch, Superpower, Bug Bite (I think), Swords Dance and some other less significant stuff (serebii or smogon for references). Ghost-types aren't threatened by my team either, so that might need to be adressed, too. Frolass and Lucario seem decent, but they can both be busted by a Scizor (which is terrifying, since that thing would already dent me quite hard). I also fear that Froslass doesn't have enough punch to take down stuff, it was mainly used in competitive as a spikes/destiny bond lead. Maybe doubly unfortunate is that my Riolu was modest, so breeding or a special set are the options I guess. But since it's male, I doubt I'll get another for the time being. I also thought about Heracross (caught a Rash one, breeding required I guess), but then I might fear my team would become a bit too slow (Bronzong is the exception, it is cool) if I can't find a fast sixth member to complement what's already there. Weavile is also considered, but again who would work as a sixth? Same for Electivire. (And I need to be lucky to get an Expert Belt.) Houndoom also wouldn't solve my Scizor-weakness either, even though it would have to (since Fire-type). Additionally, it might not be that strong either (middling speed). I'm even considering Rapidash for Megahorn (Still, Flare Blitz does hurt itself, too). Being OP would be nice, since I wouldn't have to level them so much for a second round of League-fighting then (it can be quite a pain). Suggestitons for movesets would be appreciated, too. It is rather vexing, having so many choices but none that really seems to fit in my eyes. Maybe I'm wrong, but idk. EDIT: I'm slightly gravitating to [Lucario or Heracross]/Rotom-H atm. Maybe eventually slapping a Choice Scarf on the latter would solve my speed problems. (Now how to get that key...) But maybe there's a better combo I haven't considered yet (Froslass/Rapidash/Magmortar? Weavile/Magmortar?...)

I only have 6 badges, not the national dex nor access to get the first four suggestions. Lucario is an option, though.

If I may bother you, I would like your aid on this matter. I have 6 badges atm, and am a little stuck on how I should fill in the remaining two spots in my team. It is currently: Shaymin (I really wanted to start with one, planning to make it touch the sky) Return, Growth, Magical leaf, HP fire Garchomp Dig, DClaw, Sandstorm, Crunch Bronzong TR, EQ, Gyro Ball, Extrasensory Milotic (fair and square, man that was tedious) Surf, Ice Beam, Recover, HP electric I see I have no real way to counter Dark-types and Scizor (BP does quite a dent) amongst other things. Trading is probably no option. Before you comment on the current movepools, I am only so far in the game, not everything is available yet. Due to a very lucky Chansey capture (Lucky Egg), all my current mons are already overleveled for the next gym, some are (almost) ready for the league. Any suggestions (with or without instructed implementations) would be very appreciated.

Well, that's quite a vein indeed. Be glad it doesn't look dark blue

Any flying-type with Acrobatics works great (Crobat, e.g.). Cofagrigus is also a great tank, plus Mummy overrides Guts, Huge Power etc. so they don't get boosted as much anymore. Will-O-Wisp for halving Atk, the rest you can choose yourself. And you can always go for Gardevoir, although defense and speed might be slightly lacking.

Try it.

Please not that. I'd rather go through the Aegis Cave multiple times.

Probably you'll have to beat the last gym, then go on dates with that person, and be charming enough so they want to put a ring on it, all while exploring the dark realities of child marriage. Yes, all that effort for one joke, you're welcome.

Yup, for Roserade in particular (HP fire...). I also have a file in which I bred great IV'd male mons for almost every egg group, because I could.

I sometimes wonder if it wouldn't have been easier to just treat the rebuilt city as a new map. That way, you wouldn't have to deal with overlapping events, teleport shenanigans etc. Probably would've increased the file size, however.

Didn't notice the scar being a stick, but I found this stuff to look pretty cool. If they make this like Gen 2 (with Kalos being the second region), that would be interesting, but maybe cost them too much money. It's all speculation on our behalf, though, so I rather wait until the release to see what GF will have done with it.
