^ Perhaps I should have clarified. This movie takes place in GB during the WWII. The main character has a genius-level-intellect and loves solving crosswords. In fact he makes crosswords as a mean of testing the level of intelligence of people he is about to hire. In the end of the movie, he is forced to do hormone therapy. It can be techninally explained that high testosteron intake, combined with other stuff they gave at the time, can and will cause kinetic problems as well as affect the hippocampus. Usually the hormones that pass through to the brain, go via the Willis cycle and affect the pre-frontal lobe which will cause problems to memory. Given that the substances they used back then had enormous amounts of hormones and factors that triggered the sympathetic nervous system, people were essentially damaged. It is clear now?

It is not a paradox if you visualise that people nowadays set certain goals and most of them aim at having more money. Given that it is this generation that benefits from the great technology boom but has not lived the time before it, meaning hard work for minimal outcome, it is logical that they sacrifice time in order to get better results. Results that have to do with an image. You want to show people your accomplishments. Since the phenomenon of "social classes" was more evident before, we cannot understand this tendency and call it a paradox by thinking of humanity as a whole. The rich wanted to stay rich, and the poorer aimed at becoming richer. The result from both is showing off. They try to illustrate something that might not exist. By creating this "contest" people have aimed their lives not towards earning more or better products to help themselves and their family, but to show off that they have more than the others, in a desperate try to look superior. That causes a drop in ethics and emotion, not only towards the loved ones, but also everyone else they interract with. This expands on the concept of different, but it is already a well-known fact which we'd rather not elaborate upon. This is also seen in the field of science. The goal of most scientists is not to make progress in a field, in order to help humanity by making lives easier, prolonging them or entertaining them. Rather it is aimed at recognition and praise. Those of course do not apply to all, just like the paragraph above. But if it applies to most or at least a great percentage, something went wrong, somewhere we made a wrong turn. I'd like to quote something that I found interesting.

Judging by the way you write this I'm going to assume that your sister is alright and probably got away with some scars and bruises. *the voices in my head take over* "Ya didn't have to orchestrate an accident. The interviewer would believe you either way"

Simple plan with Cofagrirus cursing. The ghost lives the fang. Cof stays in to take the hit and faints. Time for full restore. Switch in to Skuntank to toxic. Full restore it is! Toxic hits. Switch to Seismitoad to possibly live the EQ, gets hit with Stone Edge to my amusement and lives it. Muddy water does it's job to decrease accuracy and full restore does its own. Now Garchomp is only cursed. Dragon Rush kills my toad. Skunk again. Toxic, switch to Swoobat to avoid an EQ, but Dragon Rush takes it out. Back to Skuntank, Toxic after the Restore, Switch out, another fodder, this time it's Exploud. Skunk again. No more restores. Kills me with EQ, so aftermath gets a good hit. I have to switch to my last pokemon, and as soon as I do, Garchomp gets damage from Curse and toxic and faints.

You should take Fennekin. You can have the fire/fighting tepig after Aya, so you'll have to wait a while. While Blaziken is easy mode for the beginning of the game, the fox has a unique typing for the game. You can assist it with the monkey, vulpix and numel when you begin. Then the additions of Arcanine, Heatmor and Darmanitan when you reach the beach will certainly be helpful. You don't have many options with fire, but since we haven't encountered water, rock and dragon gyms yet, which naturally resist your STAB, you have nothing to fear.

As you wish. Every time you travel, you lose 10 years of your life due to deconstruction and reconstruction cycles that cause mutations to your body. I wish I had perfect vision.

Pick a starter that you like and can use. It doesn't matter. Try to enjoy it, as it has tons of stuff to offer. Even if some starters are later available, it doesn't mean you should exclude them when deciding yours. With the exception of Krookodile and perhaps Arcanine, you'll have to work hard for the others. Really hard. You will have to use a lot of pokemon that you wouldn't even look at before. However, you'll have to make do with those. Better pokemon are acquired later in the game, some of them so late that you'd think twice about going back to breed and raise them. You'll get Lucario for example when your pokemon are in their 70s or 80s. I recommend you get a Snubull and a Bidoof.

Muahaha prepare uranus for Florinia Welcome to the forum! Disregard the comment above. I'm happy for your shiny Charmander. Be aware that most good pokemon are not available from the start, so you'll have to depend on a different mindset than the brute force applied to most pokemon games. Wander around the forum if you are interested in discussions about the game itself, competitive gaming and lots of other stuff. If you need help with your in-game team, visit the team showcase section. There are also threads with where to find pokemon, items, love and other stuff. Have fun.

That feel when the highly intelligent lead character of a movie can't solve crosswords in the end of the movie due to extensive hormone therapy

Granted. However intelligence does not guarantee knowledge. You won't be able to work anywhere. I wish that you also had enough money in order not to need to work and have more time pursuing your adacemic interests

This implies a suspect test for my dearest Metagross... On topic, I don't suppose I'll be active for the following month, as finals are knocking the door, but I'd like to participate.

Should I cancel the carrot shipment?

Done, but still, if she can't hear, she can't dance properly, so she still hits everything around it. I wish I was a dark type.

Is this based on "Injustice: Gods among us" ? I believe there are things that most people don't know about Supes powers or Bats intellect and abilities. They will not be implemented into a film (or a sequel), at least not much, because it would make it overcomplicated and weaken the plot either trying to explain or just using them for effect (eg lead cancelling super vision). If it is based on the series posted above, then it won't be a direct battle, rather a quest for each, in which Superman is trying to enforce peace in the world and Batman questions his methods and prepares to stop him, but due to each other's friendship and respect, they don't aim at killing each other. I assume that will be close to the case, given we can't afford a dead superhero and their fanbase going against this. Also, I don't believe it will be limited to those two, as it is expected from both sides to search for allies in order to best their opponent in the most humane way possible.

My favorite 3 are as follows 1) CurseLax. Now if only he had the ability Scrappy... 2) Lando-T with a rocky helmet. 3) Mandibuzz. You have to lose much to bring it down, so it's always a plus.

Osama (tell me your joke :S)

Gym battles are supposed to be hard, but not impossible. Even Noel, who had a field that could be easily broken and used against him was nerfed because his team was considered to exceed the point of difficulty this game wants. In fights like Solaris, you are supposed to lose, so the false difficulty is there just to amuze the player. By the time you reach Arceus you can have multiple Aces up your sleeve. Same with Mew2. It is not a walk in the park. It's not supposed to be.
