  1. That was me, Sheep. I actually explained it in more detail here.
  2. Topsy-Turvy is actually the perfect replacement. It sucks that so few pokemon can learn it, but that's the fun thing about Hackmon.
  3. It would be kind of cool if you could make a base, and random trainers would come in sometimes to try and "raid it" and you'd have to battle them to kick them out. This'd be so much fun!
  4. Poor Mr. Bigglesworth, he only wanted to be understood. :< . . . Just kidding, beat that piece of trash down!
  5. Heck, it might be a pulse Metagross, since Metagross is basically a super computer. 0.0
  6. I'm not sure if this'll work for your computer, but you can always try: [Open the game up before you do this, or you'll just get a bunch of folders instead of files] Right click the game file (the one with the pokeball thing) > Properties > Go on the "Previous Version" tab > Go to where your actual saved file of the game is (for me a folder with the computer user's name on it and "Saved Games") > Delete the old game.rxdata file and replace it with one of the previous versions (try multiples of them to see which one is closest to the original)
  7. This team would bow down to my almighty Lock On + Sheer Cold + Substitute+ wonder guard Magikarp! > Kidding. Damn, that team though O.o I think haze on Lugia could be replaced with protect. That would be so frustrating as heck to beat.
  8. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly I said that's ignorant. All I've done is stated some reasons and facts I've come across for the pro-choice side. You both have yet to refute anything I've said. All I've read is "Abstain" and "abstain" and...."don't have sex".If that's really what makes up the majority of pro-lifer's arguments, then it's no wonder most people here are pro-choice. We actually use logic and reasoning rather than say "Well, you shouldn't have done that!" (As if that's ever helped anybody.) If a person gets their house robbed because they left the door open, should the government not help them because "You should bear the responsibilities of your actions"? Of course not. That's just a cop-out. If everybody thought that way, we'd never have gotten to this point, we'd still be a primitive species as a whole. >.> "Why are there still uninhabited areas that rend all the required needs for survival then? I'm not saying it's -not- a fact, but that it's not consistent throughout the globe. You have yet to refute that." I can't refute something that makes no sense. The only area I can think of off the top of my head that fits those requirements is Antarctica, some mountain areas, and some extreme parts of Russia, too. I don't think much abortion is needed there, though, since people don't stick around much, or the conditions are harsh enough to not have people moving there in hoards. Again, there are 7 billion people on the planet, with the number rapidly rising. Whatever your argument is trying to say exactly can't take away from that. So basically, kids should be punishment "for doing something bad"? I'm definitely digging this argument. Let's punish women for having sex. Not like the higher chance of getting permanent STDs than males isn't enough. Not like we don't have to pay a ton of money for the abortions. And it's kind of sad that a person thinks children should be used as punishment. This proves my point that pro-lifers don't care about what happens to the child when their born. Children shouldn't be used as a punishment, that'll only make their lives worse. There are tons of kids that are never adopted. Acting like we like in a rose-tinted world where everything is nice doesn't help anybody. Plenty of kids are thrown around in the system for 18 years and then thrown out; non-white kids being the most likely to have that happen to them. There's stats out there that show that blond/blue-eyed/light skin are much more likely to be adopted than kids with non of those features. Good luck to the rest, am I right? I find it sad that a woman can be pro-life. I mean, it's bad enough with males since they can't experience what females can, but even people who can experience it will think that way? But lo, that's the result of years of brainwashing. Reading this comments threads makes me thankful I was born and raised in a place that isn't as restrictive and where we're promoted to have scientific thinking and use logic. Welp, as you can tell, I'm done here. This really isn't getting anywhere. If I stay here, all this'll turn into is a broken record of the same arguments over and over. Not going there. Been there, done that, not doing it again. Glad to see some people agree that men should be held accountable, though. At least we managed to agree on something.
  9. Actually, pro-lifers don't have much logic to go by. When somebody gives them a fact, they go and twist it around. As I mentioned, rape justice is a very gray area, and you go and say, "There should be a time..." Why would they let a woman abort the child when they don't even have any proof that she was actually raped? Do you know ANYTHING about our judicial system? Based on your comment, I'd assume not. When somebody mentions the mother, they don't give two shits because apparently, women don't matter; the only thing that matters to them is the "baby". And hell, half of you don't even care what happens to the "baby" once it's out of the body (and actually becomes a baby). You say things like "If you're not ready to take care of a child, put it up for adoption." You might want to get an opinion from a primary source of adoption centers and the children who've had to live there for a good portion of their lives. It's not a nice lifestyle. And no, my last point is NOT an opinion, it's a fact. Our world is over-populated, period. There's no way around that fact. We can barely grow food for the ever-growing population. The only solution is to leech off another planet (that's if we can find a sustainable one, otherwise, we're all screwed) or legalize abortion so maybe, just maybe the population might drop to sustainable amounts. I made up a religion, yes, because religion is one of the bigger excuses pro-lifers make to not make abortion legal. You might not use that as an argument yourself, but there's no doubting that the most powerful and loudest pro-lifers use this as an excuse more often than not. "If only a minority tell men to keep their pants on, we're much worse off than we thought" ...Yes, yes we are. Come on, you're living under a rock if you think the majority of people are telling men to stop having sex. They're doing exactly the opposite. It's women they're shaming for sex. Double-standards solve nothing. I love how you actually ignore my argument about post-partum depression and other pregnancy-caused disorders. Thanks for proving my point; that's pro-lifers in a nutshell. "The end result justifies the wait." Speak for yourself. Not all people are ready for children, men and women. For your reply to number 3: I'm not talking about punishments from family and stuff. I'm talking about the girl's body. Girls that young are more likely to die from pregnancy than someone who's 18 or older, because more often than not, their body isn't ready for it. Where I live, kids are allowed to have abortions but need parental consent. I think this method is kind of flawed, but at least they're allowed to. 4: A fetus doesn't have any rights until it's out of the body. If you want a fetus to have rights very badly, then send some support to the artificial womb research. Until then, a fetus requires a woman's body as an incubator, and if the woman decides she doesn't want something to form in her, she should have the right to change that safely and not go through a unhygienic, risky, shady type of procedure. If you think that a fetus being a potential human is a crime to kill, then I guess men should be put in jail for masturbating. All those potential human beings going to waste! And I guess women who induce miscarriages should also be put in jail, huh? My bad about using the same number twice. That was bound to happen, with me. >.> Trust me, I used to be a pro-lifer, too, when I was younger. Then I educated myself more on the subject and its details. Until I get a good, well-researched, argument from a pro-lifer that doesn't say something like "But muh religions says..." or "It's a POTENTIAL human!", I think I'll stand by my stance.
  10. Yes! A new (and awesome) dragon type and one I can add to my team for Addrien (I know I probably spelled that wrong). I love Dragalge! Now Honedge and Fletchling need to be obtainable. I'm kinda sad that those two evolve into super strong pokemon, because I love them and want them. I don't care that they kill in competitive, I just want a Honedge. :< I love that ghost sword!
  11. I'm pro-choice. Why? I have way too many reasons to be: 1) The most obvious one is rape. Detecting rape is not as black and white as people think. For many, it can take months for a rape to be proven. By then, the woman's body will already have been altered too much, and a lot of doctors wouldn't follow up with the abortion after the woman has been pregnant for a certain amount of time. So yeah, that means she'll have to carry the aftermath of her rape. Not cool. 2) Making abortions illegal won't stop abortions; it'll stop safe abortions. There'll still be those back-alley abortions happening, which are more life risking. So basically, you'd be telling women to get a procedure that'll probably kill her and the fetus. Not to mention that women have methods to induce the death of the fetus if she really doesn't want it. That still greatly puts her at the risk of death. 3) I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of a 12 year old being forced to do something her body probably isn't ready to do. Keep in mind that younger people are more likely to be coerced because they are not as knowledgeable and educated on the topic of bodily-autonomy. 4) Body-autonomy. A woman should be able to control what goes on in her body in the modern day. As somebody mentioned, by taking away her right to get an abortion, you're giving women less rights than that of a corpse. This is very chilling idea, honestly. A living human having less rights than a dead human. Yikes. 5) A fetus is not a human. It's a living being, but it's not human until very long into the pregnancy (I forgot what the exact time was). As a matter of fact, for most of the pregnancy, the fetus is more comparable to a parasite than a human. 6) My religion says that people shouldn't be committing mass genocide against other humans (aka war) and people should keep all the money they earn (aka no income tax). Ok I'm kidding, but guess how many government officials would give a shit and stop building armies because of my religion? How many would stop collecting income tax? *cough* In other words, religion shouldn't be a reason to keep it illegal at all. Your religion doesn't like abortion? Well, I have bad news for you. Nobody. Cares. Logic, science, and human advancement trumps thousand-year-old, probably-outdated traditions anytime. 7) Some people just aren't mentally and financially ready for a baby. Stuff like postpartum depression can be the results of pregnancy, and unless you don't care about the mental health of the woman, you'd do well to keep this in mind. 8) Our planet is already over-populated enough as it is. Also, keep in mind that telling women to "not have sex" would be you pushing double-standards. I'd be ok with this if both men and women were told the same thing, but they are not and I'm pretty sure that we'll never have a society where the majority tell men to stop having sex. Trust me, I hate the idea that people keep having sex without a care in the world, with how rampant STDs and unwanted pregnancies are, but it's not going to stop or slow down a lot anytime soon, or at least, until we educate people better. The ONLY and I mean ONLY reason I'm against abortion at all is because of the female-specific abortions that seem rampant in place like India and China. But those are only in specific areas and slowly dwindling, so soon they won't be a problem. And like I said, making it illegal won't stop women from getting them, so... And also, I'd be against abortion if a huge catastrophe took place and wiped out the majority of the human population. But well, 7 billion people are on this planet with the number multiplying rapidly, to a point where earth might not be able to keep up with us. Why do you think we're having the Mars Mission in a few years? Anyways, where I live abortion is legal, so I don't have to worry about much. The majority of people here are for it and greatly outnumber the pro-lifers, so women here don't have to worry about not having safe options, if they need them. EDIT: Actually, scratch the part where I said there's a specific amount of time before fetus can be considered a human. Everybody has different ideas on that, including researchers, so it's a very difficult subject.
  12. Out of those two? Heracross. The difference between those two is one you can get early on (Hariyama), while the other is obtained later on and is more difficult to obtain). But I'd prefer Machamp because of No Guard + Dynamic Punch. Timburr is really great...if you can figure out how to solve that puzzle. xD
  13. Shiny Porygon, here! I could've sworn I got a Dubious Disk in my original file, but I have to go back and check on that. >.>
  14. I want to make videos to help visual people find stuff, but I don't have the time nor the patience nor the motivation to film it.
  15. But- But Shade... Fine. *goes to corner*
  16. Welp, better get a Trapinch if that'd be a reason for its removal. I'm not a big fan of Flygon, but I'm a pokemon collector, so I have to have one!
  17. I have to agree with Jericho on this one. I played through about an hour or two of Snakewood and just couldn't take it anymore. The plot was all scrambled and way too cliché, and the quality of most of the sprites and stuff was pretty bad. e.e
  18. I personally think it'll be the water gym leader, whoever that is, if not Amauria. I think you might be right, though. It's probably Ciel. Anyways, as Jericho hinted to, we don't know for sure. We will find out, though, soon enough.
  19. Based off what Saphira did and what Solaris is capable of doing, I don't think many Meteor people will survive this. Hell, even Solaris might not survive this in the end (or survive and realize the extent of what he has done and the next actions of his are remorse-based, of maybe that's a bit too cliché for Reborn xD)Lin probably won't survive, though. Unless thats actually possible when your body crumbles to pieces. In which case, she probably isn't human (that'd be such an awesome plot twist, though).
  20. Yeah, I'm sure there are people in the world who slice people's heads off who's intentions aren't to cause people to suffer... >.> Lol.
  21. I thought it was the other way around, and we only saw her once or twice. >.> Regardless, my point still stands. Even if she wasn't the original leader and Solaris was, she still managed to claim the position from him, something that can't be done through brute force alone. Of course Solaris is intelligent; I don't think he's unintelligent necessarily. Just that I don't think Solaris and Lin are all that different. Solaris also uses brute force. That's basically what I was saying.

    Eh, I realized my comment was kind of defensive, sorry. You're right, though.
  23. What's all this about Lin being all about brute strength and Solaris being about intelligence? We don't even know much about her, yet, and honestly, if Solaris is supposed to be this character that's all about intelligence, I'm not seeing it. The way he goes about things isn't completely smart. And Lin must be pretty intelligent if the team she's in charge of has been around and successful for around a decade without being stopped. I'd think so, at least.

    I didn't notice that it's been a long time since the last post. My bad. That was completely unnessesary, Etesian, I already know about that. And besides, why are you guys telling only ME that? I wasn't the first person to necro post here. .-.

    First I used Pachirisu's Nuzzle until he ran out of full heals. Luckily for me, it couldnt move two times, so I managed to get 2 Super Fangs in. Followed by Banette's Curse Attack. And using substitute on Greninja just to avoid the risk of it getting defeated. It was fair game, basically.
