    I need to get a tablet

    I agree with Shinryu - a larger screen should be more useful for taking notes (without using a keyboard). What makes the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 your primary choice? Is it the fact that it comes with a stylus? Even if you buy just a tablet, Wacom makes all sorts of Bamboo Styluses; the Fineline...

    I need to get a tablet

    I work at Best Buy, so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt. Hm? I wouldn't say that! It's all about context, honestly. Most consumers that walk in the door have needs that mirror the criteria listed in the OP. The only other common requirement is word processing capabilities, and...

    I think it's important to clarify that the only defensive Rotom-W you're 2HKO'ing is the standard physically-defensive one. Specially defensive Rotom-W (which is apparently very common, though not recommended [?]) is only 3HKO'd.

    Serious Nutrition: A corrupt government's favorite topic

    This isn't entirely true. Consider the following: You are a four foot tall, half-naked ape-like creature. You have fingernails instead of claws; your teeth aren't very sharp, having been designed for a more herbivorous diet; and to top it all off, you lack the reflexes, running speed, body...

    Dragon/Fairy Altaria fightnugget if you want your vote to count, you have to bold it in your post.

    Other The OU Theorymon Project (CLOSED)

    alexwolf already addressed this post, but he missed one major point in his rebuttal that I want to go over briefly. Why are you switching into a +1 Flare Blitz? Dragon/Fairy-type Altaria counters both Charizard Y and Charizard X. Because of this, you have no reason not to switch Altaria in...

    Other The OU Theorymon Project (CLOSED)

    I am genuinely curious about how well Defensive Articuno sets would fair if this is chosen. 90/100/125 Defenses are nothing to scoff at, even if his only resistances are to Bug-, Grass-, and Ground-type moves. Priority Roost will help mitigate his vulnerability to hazards too, making him less...

    Banette

    I'm a moron and every single one of these is wrong. Unfortunately, in doing all of these at 3 in the morning, I failed to realize that Pokemon Showdown's Damage Calculator has not programmed Phantom Force in their list of moves (surprisingly) - all of these were made using Shadow Force by...

    Banette

    While I must echo QC in saying that an offensive set might not be the best use of Mega Banette's many talents as a utility Pokemon, I wouldn't describe an offensive set as completely unviable. Mega Banette's absolutely pitiful defenses are definitely a double-edged sword; Banette struggles find...

    Banette

    This isn't entirely accurate. With the way the Destiny Bond mechanics work, the effects of Destiny Bond are not lifted from the opposing Pokemon until the next time Mega Banette uses a move. As long as Mega Banette alternates between Destiny Bond and Knock Off, the opponent cannot KO Mega...

    Serious The Atheism/Agnosticism thread

    Alright so, the original plan was just to edit this into my other post when I got back form home. I got to writing and ended up spending all night and most of today writing this. I figured just making a new post was appropriate. Okay, my headache is gone and my sister's in Colorado (these...

    Serious The Atheism/Agnosticism thread

    This is a silly thing to say. I mean, your reaction isn't silly; if there was compelling evidence for the existence of God (or a god) I imagine that many people would follow in your footsteps. Rather, I find it silly that you're assuming that compelling evidence for the existence of (a) G/god...

    Aegislash

    As a small note: 252 HP / 252 SpD Relaxed (standard) Mega Aggron is only taking 34.8 - 41.2% from 252 SpA Aegislash w/Leftovers. Aegislash needs to be running a Life Orb and have Stealth Rock up on the Aggron players side to have a 90.6% chance at 2HKO'ing Mega Aggron. Mega Aggron beats...

    Serious The Atheism/Agnosticism thread

    As far as my understanding of Buddhism goes, this is not entirely accurate. While Buddhism's teachings are non-theistic in nature, the religion's practicality makes it flexible, and because of that it can incorporate (or be incorporated into) pretty much any deity-worshiping belief system that...

    Almost Any Ability XY (Suspect Over: Weavile banned, Keldeo Stays)

    I'm probably not treading new ground with any of this, but this is some of the stuff that came to mind. A lot of it I brought up (briefly) in the AE thread, but this meta offers a similar premise with less restrictions, so it should be just as fun (in theory). Cresselia: Ability: Unaware...
