    You ever think about how it's not anyone's job to dole out these lessons? Like, what purpose does this mindset serve? If someone is being a dick, they're not doing it for the person on the receiving end's sake, they're doing it to cut down the person they're speaking to. Treating others with respect shouldn't be based on expectation of reciprocity, but because you operate in a way that is innately respectful to other people. The pep talk you're giving effectively minimizes OP's feelings, and I think you should reflect on why you're taking this approach.

     

    Sorry the this happened to you, young monarch. You deserved better, and Reborn is capable of that. I do hope this hasn't soured your image of our wonderful community.

    All of the things you directed at me can be answered in my previous post. All of it. Then you continued to patronise me. Felt so comfortable yapping about nothing just because you disagree with my stance. 

     

    What I did not want to believe is that most of these posts don't want to hear nothing but vague comfort words and compliments. Apparently that's what the wonderful part is all about to you. I'll be leaving now. And take my reality with me. 

    You guys keep it peachy. Watch out for the sour apples.

    speaking more generally, these aren't good things either! it just invalidates other people's feelings, and while it may be common place i certainly don't think it is useful to anyone or worth accepting?

     

     

    Not dissing the feelings or the importance of kindness. Mostly because I've been hit hard and know how a simple word can knock someone down. BUT! Hell yeah it's useful to get blasted back. In a lesson kind of way. Matter of perspective. Besides expecting to get treated back the same way you treat others is nothing but poetic. Not realistic. Doesn't mean you cannot grow from it or seek comfort after. Do that. Do what you got to do to bounce back. 

    Not throwing mindfulness out of the window or saying you gotta experience the worst end of it to understand it. However, I do feel strongly that discomfort is your best teacher and makes you expand. That's what I was getting at. 

     

    Non of it should be taken too seriously though. Even taking life too seriously messes with your head. All I'm saying is to move on and not to dwell on it and start overthinking. Maybe you do not choose how you feel about it but you choose how to deal with it. 

     

     

     

     

  3. You're overthinking it. It's one of those annoying internet traits every site, every chat, every comment section has. It gets you at first, later on it's like that meme about listening to your parents tell you about how they had to go to school back in the day. Or an 8th grader telling you as an 7th grader, "just you wait!"

     

    Eventually you'll see it as an everyday thing.

     

    Now lets say it hurt your gaming ego about you being bad or whatever. First time I played Reborn, I was losing to Aya for like 3 hours.

    Then there's Rejuvination which I refuse to play unless it's intense mode (see, right there). Narcissa beat my ass so much in my first play that I had to suck it up and look up how others have done it. Then I decided not to take the advice because fucking... why the fuck would I use cheatslikewhathtewwwwwwwwwwwgjk. Trained up new pokemon my way, spent 4 hours more than I should. Is it silly? You tell me.

    Cuphead! My favorite example! That blimp fucking boss in the first world made me ragequit. Now I can blitz through the normal mode in like 1 and a half hour. Got all 3 savefiles on 200% and I could do it again twice as fast. In fact, I can probably challenge myself to a deathless run.

     

    I'm not saying don't feel bad. I'm saying get through it. Losing your mind and feeling down over a video game is something we all do. If we're not doing so hot otherwise in life, it feels even worse. But! It's just a part of the process at the time. Useful in the future I might add. Like another level of kaioken.

     

    Cheer up my friend, enjoy the game! Take it as a learning experience! Complaints never beat a single boss. Small breaks for a snack and a song you like might!

  4. Rejuvination is safer and offers 3 difficulties. There are Audino trainers in the cities to help you out in case you need a quick experience fix. And if you feel like it's too much, you can reduce the difficulty.

    Grinding will 100% happen if you religiously use the team of 6 in both of those games. In a way that you'll be leveling a different type just to get by.

    What I'm saying is considering the level cap being reachable easily, don't hesitate to switch around. Over time you might end up with like 15 pokemon. Very cool stuff. And even cooler - you'll end up using pokemon you probably never would in any other pokemon games.

     

     

     

  5. Considering you're losing patience I'll give you a simple one if nothing else works. Set your Blaziken up with +6 bulk up and delete everything. In this case I'd go with double kick-ing everything down. Doesn't matter if you build your whole team around it. That's how you win. Every. Single. Battle. 

     

  6. Everybody's heard, about the bird bird bird birsadkgtdsagds. Get one. Get a Fearow on board. Don't feel like it's enough? Where's that Ampharos powerhouse? And one of my Reborn favorites - Arbok. Intimidate, glare, acid spray, screech, crunch. That Graveler idea is a good one. Didn't even think of Persian, a fine idea for a fake out user. 

     

    Keep it simple, be practical and sweep the fucking bugs out of the way of progression.

  7. Hey man just play the game, don't stress over "right or wrong". Have some fun, enjoy the ride! There's enough replay value in this game. Never trust a religious lunatic in a robe🙃

  8. Sounds like you are messing up there my man, your team looks fine. Except for Mawile but I seem to be in minority thinking that thing is completely useless. Could you share with us what kind of team does she use? Only ever played this game on intense.

    I do remember using Arcanine, Crobat, Hariyama, Lycanroc (once gen7 got in the game) and a Magneton in my games. 

     

    In any case, not to keep you waiting on answers if you're impatient, anything that can live and power up works on every gym. Messing up her field effect works amazingly well too.

  9. They are fun to watch and/or share their knowledge while playing. These days so many young people feel completely down, alone and crushed. At that moment watching this particular youtuber gets them through, might even feel like a friend. So many reasons why.

    Their job is so far away from easy. Not even near just sitting there and playing. Some of them work on their videos all on their own. Supporting them through paypal, patreon or whatever the fuck is optional. A simple click on a like button helps them, I bet many don't even expect more than that. 

     

    To me it sounds like you are grinding away for years on something you don't give a flying fuck about. Doing it just because it was a plan. Because it is safe and gets you material things. Maybe a parent wanted you to be that way. So it boils down to money being the only thing on your mind. Then you see this dude playing games, being himself and happy. Better yet, you find him a fake dumbass tricking people into paying him. Why the fuck he has it so easy and you gotta get up at 6 just to catch a bus? As if the guy just magically got his channel going. It was luck.

     

    My thing is that I can't sell my time pretending to be what I'm not and working dumbass shifts even if there is nothing to do that day. I've quit so many well paid jobs before understanding what is really going on. Oh and nitpicking at youtubers gaming mistakes. It is silly, obnoxious even.

    You know what is really scary though? Feeling alone, misunderstood, like nobody loves you etc. and then (for the sake of arguement) you get a magical thing that grants you infinite cash. The fuck you gonna do with it? Buy a friend? You will still feel the same. Learn nothing then probably pick on another thing others have it easy to bitch about.

     

    Think about where this anger comes from. Pin it down then look at it from another perapective. Surely you yourself know how silly it is. Having said that, venting is a decent start.

     

    Well aware I might be wrong about it and yapping away into the wind considering I don't know you hehehe..

     

    I suck at texting, hopefully I got a fragment of my point across there. It is so easy to misjudge someone's tone too. Master at verbal communication though heh. I will be finally introducing myself to the forum this week after like 3 years of being here. This topic inspired me and noticing @Candy is an aspired writter makes me all excited that she might read it too! 🙃

     

    Right! Enough! Beer and Mario kart with my buddy! Then some icantbelieveiveskippedthisfranchisetillnow Fire Emblem!

     

    Stay cool!

  10. Slaking always felt flat out crazy to me despite his ability. And look at him chilling with such power within. I'd say switch Heatmor. Silvally can cover the typing and Galvantula has a bug move so you won't be losing cover. Unless you love Heatmor! In which case just bench that Type:Null, use him on rotation or something.
