Did somebody say HUNTER X HUNTER ??? I am not saying I am a huge fan of the show but I may or may not have already designed ~40 Nen abilities complete with description, regulations, covenants/vows and ways of using them inside and outside of battle. That said, those who watch it, we should make a seprate thread in which we present those ideas. I'll wait till there are enough people into this. Moving on, and addressing this to Jerry, the story so far is a huge prologue to a main story not yet written, taking place in a world outside ours. However, it is the best prologue you'll ever see with multiple arcs beginning and ending with logic and consistency. The characters are well made and multidimensional, the protagonists have goals and everyone is human, which means they feel fear, agony, pain, remorse, and there are more ethical dillemmas than in your everyday cookie-cutter-shonen anime/manga. In my opinion, the arc to begin now is the most interesting, while omitted from the anime. The villains are... as Charlotte said... just people who are in the other side. They do have their reasons and goals. More specific stuff. Genthru is not weak. He loses due to overconfidence, a trait common to real life battlers who let their guard down when they seemingly can take their opponent blindfolded, emasculated and with one hand tied in an anchor deep in the Pacific (may be slightly exaggerating). Others are simply badass and/or genius, like Chrollo, Hisoka, Razor, Ging, the Kakin Princes. The list goes on. Even simple characters have depth and most times you'll find yourself sympathizing with those the story presents as criminals, than the ones on the "good side". More to be said...

He is only using moves from the first generation. He played as if he were in the first generation; no switch, use the strongest move of the type, use all the starters, have no plan of attack, disregard abilities, etc

^Missed that part. Thanks

Do both players get the prizes, or do they split the reward?

So, shall I continue?

Came up with this a few days ago. Not sure how good it's in action, but on paper it seems stable. Ultimate Wallbreaker Zangoose @ Salac Berry / Toxic orb Ability: Toxic Boost EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def Adamant Nature - Quick Attack - Swords Dance - Body Slam - Knock Off

Can you put the final evolutions of the pokemon you've announced into tiers? An announcement that actually reveals few things

We know it's supposed to be a supportive pokemon. We have an idea of how the starters will end up as, and most of the other announced mons are this region's counterparts to the ones seen in Kanto. I know we'll be annoyed by Harlequid, but will it be Sableye type or Thundurus type? No need to tell me details, just general things about this and the other pokemon announced, because frankly, people tend to forget them.

Points at roadkill pokemon

They turn into a Christmas tree. Anyway, apart from being cute and creepy, what can this thing do? Why would I want to have it in my team? Sell me this pokemon.

You mean to tell me Elliot is not Bird type?? 0.0

most people watch it For Academic Purposes...

If rocks are on the field, the Fighting gym leader will not have a single chance to play. edit: it learns Bulk Up, so it can become bulky fast enough to deal with a weak rock move from Cradily (not Armaldo tho)

Fun quick match that proves you can never be prepared for everything http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-279034393

There should be a banlist that follows the example of smogon's monotype banlist. Pokemon that are way too powerful on their own against certain types thus create an instant win condition, or form a core that cannot be bypassed should be in the banlist. Examples include Talonflame, Greninja and Aegislash.

This guy actually comments a lot in Se7en.

I always knew you were a dog
