  1. That's probably a wise thing to do. He would just die instantly. On another note, what exactly is wrong with the pictures? Why won't they upload? Have you reached your maximum upload capacity on the site? I think Pidgeotto will be important in this battle. Don't you have a pokemon that can learn stealth rock? Because that would annihilate most of her mons And try to prevent her Illumise from setting up Rain Dance
  2. I would change Excadrill's nature to Sand Rush to fully utilise Hippowdon's Sand Stream. Other than that, seems about fine I guess. But I'm not really familiar with team building with a lot of thought behind it...
  3. @kithas now that you've mentioned it, I also believe I've encountered wild Spewpa before. And like you said, Seadra was already available in the wild
  4. Same here. I always get Pidove, Trubbish, Rattata. Basically all the early game trash
  5. Don't mind me people, I'm just leaving a comment here so I can view updates to this thread in my 'content I posted in'. Otherwise, I'll forget this exists
  6. I'm new to this, so bear that in mind when contemplating my additions Kricketune --> C (mostly because it just sucks after the first several gyms) +accessible very early +good ability in Technician, especially if combined with a STAB Fury Cutter +quick exp. growth because of 'traded' +early access to Sing, which could be useful for PULSE-machines -becomes expendable very quickly, mostly an early game mon -quite fragile Meowstic --> B +accessible very early +male with prankster to set up screens, or any gender with Infiltrator +high speed (104) +sucker punch and disarming voice as checks on Ghost and Dark +Misty terrain and screens for utility +SE against both Victoria and Cain +high growth because of 'traded' mon -not the best special attack stat, but not awful -very low physical attack, so kind of kills the sucker punch
  7. Should you follow a Master's degree or not? http://rostraeconomica.nl/to-master-or-not-to-master/

      There are a few problems with what the author is saying. First the argument that Master's degrees aren't worth it because everyone has one is... super dubious. Not everyone has a Master's to begin with, and even if it were true, standing out by not having one wouldn't be the best idea.

      Then there's the cost argument... well it's true in the US but also a non-issue in many European countries. So it really depends on where you live and what you can afford.

       

      People should study for a Master's degree if they can, and if it's an advantage in order to find a job in their fields of interest. And atm, it's an advantage in many, if not most fields. Even if the degree you have isn't exactly related to the job you're applying for, a Master's is the guarantee that you have the ability to think and learn. Recruiters generally appreciate this, and this shouldn't be underestimated.

      I fully agree with you. Though I do see the declining value of a Master's degree like the author pointed out, being it to some extent. However, like you said, in this case, it is better to be one of many people with a Master's degree than to be one without one. It won't necessarily make you stand out positively (if having a Master's degree is common in your field) but at least it prevents you from experiencing the possible disadvantages of not having one.

       

      Now, for the cost argument: in her case, she's non-EU (I think), which makes it incredibly expensive to study. Of course, it's still not as expensive as the US, but even then it's costly. The argument that education in the EU is cheap is relative. For example, education in the Netherlands used to be free (or nearly free) of charge. Due to budget cuts etc., this is no longer the case. It is still cheaper than the US, but more expensive than most countries within the EU.

       

      Then there are some fields of work that require a Master's degree if you want to be able to continuously develop yourself in your field. If I want to keep on developing myself in the field of Accounting, I will have to follow a Master's degree. Heck, I even have to follow a post-master degree if I want to keep growing...

       

      So personally, I think you should always go for that Master's degree

       

      Thanks for your thoughts on this

  8. An Aggron with Sturdy and Heavy Slam completely destroys M-Altaria, or any other mon in fact

      Ahahaha

       

      I see that

  10. Oh true, I forgot about that. It's only nerfed since Gen 7 of course. Thanks for pointing it out
  11. You can also use this with Stealth Rock so that Talonflame isn't able to use its ability! Best of both worlds
  12. If you mean something along the likes of the Redemption League, whenever there's a new season/tournament, there are sign-up threads where you can sign-up to join the tournament
  13. In no particular order: 1. Kadabra 2. Ponyta 3. Hippopotas 4. Sneasel 5. Seel 6. That bug thing on the left, don't know its name
  14. I know I dream about her all day

    I think about her with her clothes off

    I'm ridin' 'round with my system bumpin' LSD

    I look for ways to say "I love you"

    But I ain't into makin' love songs

    Baby, I'm just rappin' to this LSD

  15. The emotion, you can feel it in this song

      true, yet that would require me to go to Leeuwarden first to take train, find my way to the ziggo dome, find my way back to the station, and find the right bus home again. And due to my sense of direction being as bad as that of a Nosepass that doesn;t have a nose...

      Oh, that's too bad. But you could always use Google Maps to find your way, you know that right?

      true, I guess.
