  1. Zero regrets picking litten as my starter this playthrough. He's been hauling his weight for sure. Only issue is his speed(mine has a low speed nature so it's even worse) but that sort of works out for my trick room tactics anyway. He destroyed adrienne's mawile

     

    Incineroar is awesome.

  2. Yeah definitely use trick room against Hawlucha(who's kind of broken in this fight, he can easily wreck your entire team due to the seed/field boost), but be careful about conkledurr who can abuse trick room just as hard and is tough to take down. also his Lucario has a focus sash and swords dance + extreme speed, keep that in mind. If you can OHKO it samson may use a potion to heal it which will give you a free turn to kill it.
  3. Just beat adrienne after spending like an 40 minutes on xym. Is it odd I find Granbull one if xyr most troublesome pokemon? Intimidate, bulky, knows close combat(which totally took my poor a-slash by surprise on attempt) and earthquake to cover its weaknesses. Only weakness is that it's slow really.   It and Mawile are a real headache.

      Granbull is deadly in the right hands due to coverage, decent bulk and being one of the more consistance Scizor checks for fairy due to intimidate fire punch

      Yeah, that Granbull can be a real pain if you're not carrying a mon with Defiant.

  4. Cody's trailer for SFV is out yeeeeaaah!!!! 

  5. Ugh I hate the conveyor puzzles in devon building. Such a slog.

     

  6. Blue Water, Blue Sky is one of those videogame soundtracks that never fails to make me smile. It's so lovely.

  7. Oricorio pom pom is a BEAST against ciel. It almost scored a clean sweep against her, only reason it didn't was because he hit level 76 right before facing altaria and ignored orders lol. The rest of my team was able to handle it thankfully.

  8. I like Blake's old team more.  His new ace fits but the other additions are kind of random feeling. I'm not following the theme here?

      @Alistair

      My issue with it is that 2 other bosses have it as a key member of their team.

      What point is there to making it his ace when there's a perfectly good, completely unused Pokemon in Beartic that fulfils the exact same role? Beartic has higher attack, good bulk, great type coverage and Slush Rush on top.

       

      Or why even have Walrein removed as his ace, it's perfect for him.

      Cal getting a fighting type makes total sense since he's part of apophyll. I don't like him having Barbarcle though. Feels way too random and doesn't even serve him well for his fight.

       

      I guess Blake getting water types to deal with Cal makes sense(despite already having walrein and another arguable reason walrein was a good fit for him) but Starmie seems really not suited to his personality.

      I'll disrespect Barbaracle the ugly mon as much as I damn please 😛

       

      Beartic doesn't particularly suit Blake. Yes, I hear the arguments as to why he shouldn't have Alolaslash, but I think this mon is a really, really good fit for Blake both visually and functionally. If anything, I'd remove it from Serra's team rather than Blake's. Alolaslash doesn't suit Serra at all.

       

      I agree with Monochrome about Starmie. It's perhaps the one mon Blake has that feels too random.

      A Fighting type for Cal is alright, but I don't see any reasons for Hakamo-o rather than... well, anything else. Felt like gen 7 shoehorning, when Cal already has Turtonator as a gen 7 Dragon.

  9. Back from hell. Took me nearly 3 hours to beat Charlotte.

    freakin 

     

    hours.

      Dreamblitz

      daaamn. what was your team?

  10. Welp, about to fight Charlotte. RIP me.

  11. The current My Hero Academia opening theme STINKS. It doesn't fit the visuals at all and just sounds like a mess. Honestly I'm not super into MHA's openings as they sound kind of generic to me but this one stands out as being actually bad.

    1. Wolfox

      Wolfox

      I kinda agree though I gotta say the first opening was really good

    2. Maqqy

      Maqqy

      Truth. MHA’s endings are better, especially LiSA’s.

  12. Jeez wtf @ Samson's Hawlucha. I have mixed feelings on the new seeds because on one hand they're interesting but on the other hand they can result in BS like that.  I manged to beat him due to my Medicham, Kiki, knowing bullet punch but still. Ugh.

  13. I had to restart Radomus like 3 times because I kept screwing up and letting get off trick room.

     

    Also had Incinoroar at level 61 and he decided to fall asleep during battle lol. Restarted, candied and tried again

     

     I led with incineroar and medicham, had medicham use acupressure to buff Incineroar(got an evasion increase lol) then proceeded to obliterate the guy with dankest lariats and flare blitzes. 

     

     

  14. Oricorio Baille makes Bennet's 1st match absolutely free.

     

    Venomoth used quiver dance?

     

    -smirks devilishly-

  15. Feels good to be back to Reborn!!! First time playing episode 17 and I started over to relish in the new additions. Picked litten(and so does Victoria now apparently <_<) and so far the hardest gym leader was corey(treally his crobat oneshotting everything). Also shade's major team addition really threw me for a loop and solo'd my entire team nearly twice. 

  16. Serra looking better! But oh you went out of the country!!!??? To where? UK?
  17. TIL Z is said Zed in Britain and Canada.

      Wait, what? 

  18. Having goosebumps right now, I had such a terrifying dream! Well it didn't start off scary at all, just typical dream weirdness but what I remember most was playing this weird Anarchy Reigns-like game involving these sisters fighting each other where on was like this cute punk girl(the one I was playing), the other a witch that looked a bit like Tessa from Red Earth and some other one I can't describe. It wasn't super violent or anything and even had a whimsical feel to it as the level was a casino-like level reminiscent of Casinopolis from Sonic series. I was having a difficult time with the game lol and was losing but still kept playing since it was sort of fun. Other stuff happened too but it was nothing bad or anything, just weird and spontaneous.

     

    However out of NOWHERE I suddenly just feel this horrible sense of coming behind me and someone or rather SOMETHING is near. I can't visualize it clearly at all, but it's vaguely humanoid, completely black with glowing, blank eyes and an angry, fanged scowl with a visage not unlike that of some demon or monster. It's running towards me incredibly fast  and just feels wrong  in every way. It's like an invader which doesn't belong at all and seeks nothing more than to harm me. It's an incredibly jarring feeling as the dream beforehand just felt unpredictable at most but always had a sense of whimsy and safety. But not anymore, this invader has changed that completely, because it is terrifying. I want to speak, but the invader has gotten very close to me, breathing rapidly and deeply like a rabid beast, then grabs the back of my head. Its very touch feels like fire and I can feel its hatred radiating from it, just this oppressive feeling of dread that leaves me powerless to resist. Then it forcefully throws me across the room and I hit the floor like a toy thrown by a misbehaved child, lying on the ground shaken and defeated. I want to scream,  but only a meek, hushed help escapes my lips before the invader is on me again. It grabs my head then forcefully slams my face against the ground, with a flash of red and sensation of dull pain being the only thing I feel before waking up covered in sweat and fear. 

     

    What made this invader so terrifying was how it was able to invade the sanctity of the mind and basically ruin any degree of positive emotion I had withinthe dream. There was no build up for it or anything, it just didn't belong and felt like it wanted nothing more than to just hurt me. But not out of some sadistic pleasure, but out of some unexplained malice and hatred for me. Thing is I've had this very same invader appear in my dreams before, but it only happened once  and it was much the same: coming out of nowhere, unable to visualize it really but feel its awful presence, it not really saying anything but wanting nothing more to hurt, and doing it in a very violent way that left me scared and even in pain. It was a while ago too to where I couldn't even remember it until now after it came back.

     

    I don't know what this invader is, but it's one of the scariest nightmares I've had. My past nightmares are usually very emotional, the most vivid ones I can recall being something that made me sad(my saddest one involved finding a child I had befriended dying while we were out), extremely uncomfortable(some yellow weird headless body sexually molesting me in an enclosed room),  dying in some way or extremely terrified(several times they involved strange indescribable monsters with the worst being this hulking black metallic bull-esque monster who killed everyone including me). But the Invader stands out because even with the monsters there was some warning or reasoning beforehand within the dream  of the danger they were, but not with this one. It just came so suddenly, without any warning whatsoever. It's like being violated or something and felt worse than the others. Such a terrifying thing, and I keep trying to rationalize it but can't. What is it supposed to be? I'm pretty skeptical of the supernatural but was it some sort of demon, djinn, or malicious spirit, or at least how my subconscious would envision such a thing if it existed? 

     

    I had to write all this, I just felt so shaken waking up. Definitely a rude awakening haha. Oohhh I just realized that I got irritations on my skin in 3 different places too, big red bumps.  I've been getting these a lot this summer but the past few weeks they had stopped. These happened overnight...the Invader possibly could've been whatever gave me these bites(likely a spider), and my subconscious picked up its presence within my dream yet somehow got it twisted into this horrifying enigma. That would explain the Invader wanting to hurt me somewhat and it's sudden intrusion, but not its malice.  I don't think spiders hate me that much lol and I actually quite like them.

     

    Looking at it that way makes me feel better about the ordeal, honestly.

      Holy fuck, that's..... unsettling is an understatment

      The mind is a very powerful instrument of the body and I hope you'll feel safer soon in any way

      Thanks, I'm feeling better now, hoping I get a good sleep tonight. And yeah the human mind is incredible, and it can be incredibly scary too.

  19. wait up

     

    did RWBY start another season or something?

  20. I wonder if multiple z moves means using the same z move more than once or z moves with multiple pokemon? Or still one pokemon but it lets us like, use two z-moves of the same type, i.e z swords dance then breackneck blitz another turn.

    1. Busti

      Busti

      Use ALL the Z-moves!

      In loving memory of UB Assembly 2017-2017?

  22. I find the whole quadraped obsession with fire starters really silly. It's not a bad sprite on its own(it's a fine general monster design) but I can't say I like it as much as Incineroar as it lacks personality and actually feels less connected than Incineroar does. The fire belt evolved from torracat's fire bell, yet this has that little link completely gone. I feel it's also a bit shallow of a design, as you focused too much on trying to make it look cool and not really giving it much of a cohesive theme outside that. It feels like a very superficial evolution of torracat, wherea
  23. Ugh just one bad person can ruin a lot of good lives. Some of my friends' high school teacher was one of the wounded in the vegas shooting...his wife who was also there is in critical condition :[

     

     

  24. Tfw you beat cuphead. What an amazing feeling, because you know you earned it.  269 deaths btw. 

  25. Learned about some really sick stuff today. Don't let anyone tell you different, there is definite evil in this world.

      I know, I've learned that a few years back

      Evil is necessary. Without it, we'd not be able to appreciate, or even understand and define good.

      Everything is defined through it's opposite. So, yes, evil exists. But in my eyes, it's only purpose is to lead us towards good.

       

      Keep hoping everyone. Keep smiling!
