  1. I love how Poyrgon2 can just completely body other teams by simply using Trace. Observe: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-358620775

      I was under the impression that only Damp Rock is banned

    3. Raindrop Valkyrie

      it looks like only Damp and Smooth are banned, not Heat Rock.

      AuthorReborn

      Plus, Damp and Smooth are only banned for zwater and Ground/Rock respectively, iirc. So you could do Damp Rock on a ground team to boost Mega Swampert.

      But I don't actually consciously think about it. Like I'll be in class and someone will call my name and I'll look up and go "Yes?" since they tend to not talk to me otherwise and then they say "Happy Birthday!" and I remember.

  3. I really like Colm's Rouge animation for FE:Sacred Stones. It's just great and I enjoy it.

      The General... has probably the second most over the top for no reason animations. Like the whole chain Lance thing and just... they are weird. Hero is still the best, the over the topness makes so mcuh sense for them lol.

    3. Etesian

      Etesian

      It fits the Hero though, you'd expect over-the-topness just from the name lol

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      WHat I was saying lol, why theirs are great, the General is like... the hell?

  4. Why are there so many MonoElectric teams in Monotype? It really doesn't have much going for it besides the special attacking stat and the one weakness!

      Idk, it's incredibly bulky. Base 140 defense is nothing to scoff at, so it can easily come in on a lot of physical sweepers and Rapid Spin.

    3. Raindrop Valkyrie

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      keep in mind you have to be at 75% health and it's base is pretty awful. Okay 70 is... passable at best but... 75% of that is not really a great amount. Mayn things can easily get access to EQ... so it's an okay choice jsut one that's easily not going to hinder you not having it as well though.

    4. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      Well it IS mono. Torkoal has 3 weaknesses, and can endure a hit from a non-STAB SE move. So yeah, this means that, realistically, its chances to Rapid Spin effectively are significantly limited in only 3 match-ups, to which you need to add the Ghost match-up that prevents spinning altogether. I dunno, 4 bad match-ups out of 18 seems reasonable enough to grant the turtle a spot.

      We'll see for sure. I think there is still enough things that kinda scare Mega-pert though. Only thing I find crazy, the droppng of Quagsire to NU, and I think Virizion. Those might get a bit nuts down there.

    3. AuthorReborn

      AuthorReborn

      Quaqsire is hard enough to kill regardless of tier. Now it's NU? Yeesh.

    4. Raindrop Valkyrie

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      Yea, it is. The thing has a niche why it says relevant in all tiers.

  7. Since the Gen II Starter's HAs were finally confirmed, I think I'm going to start a new Reborn save and collect all of the Johto starters, meaning I will have Totadile as a starter. Wish me luck.

      AuthorReborn

      I like him, I simply hadn't used him before I played PMD: EoS a bit ago. I started pokemon with Cyndaquil and I've stuck by him. The cool thing about the gen 2 starters is that they're the only ones you can currently obtain all of in Reborn (assuming you start with Totodile).

      Eh, I suppose lol. It probably isn't the worst sicne you are more likely to get a hit on a useful item ((as Eviolite is hella common.)) though Duskull maybe not the best user.... not that I can think of anything else lol.

      You'd think Toxic would be helpful? Toxic is actually pretty useless in LC. I think I've seen it once or twice in the entire time I've played.

      In 14 at least, there was said Moon stone in the Slums. Headscratching. RIP Psyduck tho. Ame hates the gen1 water types.

      What about Dragon? That seems pretty strong.

    3. AuthorReborn

      AuthorReborn

      Most every team has an Ice move of some sort on it and most strong Dragons have a x4 weakness to it, so it's less useful than you might think.

      Idea: they go together, their ship sinks (badum-tss), and then we start with only one of them surviving/ a new protagonist.

  11. I got to have a lovely chat with a man named Leonard Peltier. He's been wrongfully imprisoned since '77 because the FBI decided someone needed to take the fall for the death of two of their special agents. Quite informitive.

    3. AuthorReborn

      AuthorReborn

      And yes, we fully investigated the entire affair. There were charges brought up that were used to extricate Leonard from Canada that were completely ignored in his actual trial. The trial itself was moved from its original location to one where an FBI friendly judge could take on the trial and the majority of documents which were provided to the FBI's side of the case were withheld from the defenses's attorneys. The girl who was supposedly his girlfriend, Myrtle Poor Bear, had never m...

      met him in her entire life and had a forced confession brought out of her, which was then classified as "irrelevant" in the trial itself. I'm probably on another government watch list now. *sigh* Not again.

  12. So my girlfriend's little sister is currently in the hospital and the docs don't know what's wrong. I'm looking for prsyers from those who will offer them and godo will from those who won't.

      I think my main problem is that I tend to go with my feelings and so I'll try to make a Sash Hawlucha team. Doesn't really work. Or I'll decide to use <insert mon here> with another mon which really doesn't synergize with it.Another problem I tend to have is I over predict fairly often to the point where I have to force myself not to try to predict my opponent's every move as at least of a few of those predicts could conceivably lead to me losing my win comdiction...

      Alrighty, well you didn't specify, so I decided I would address all of it. It would also help anyone else who didn't understand a particular component, so sorry if I made it seem like I was talking down at you.

      also @Pyrro- tbh Chansey isn't good on Mononormal. Sure, it does do the natural Chansey thing, but it is it just as passive as usual. Pory2 has a lot more pressure with almost as much bulk nd a ton more option.

      The fact that public transportation is not only expensive but also incredibly unoptimized and won't take you to half the places you want to go. I also live pretty far from the city so any time I want to travel I have to pay even more than a regular person would want to. That combined with the fact that driving can be fun and it's a skill that can be necessary in a pinch. Oh and it also helps you gain access to certain jobs, for example around here if you want to be a sound engineer fo...

      I got Awakening a few days ago and I'm on chapter 10 (Awakening is my first FE game) and the story is pretty good so far. the pre-rehenered cutscenes are wonderful to look at in 3D or not.

      Awakening is best to start with, personally. Most updated mechanics, and it jas a casual mode for those who aren't accustomed to the game.
