Has PS been completely updated with the ORAS changes? Kingler learns Waterfall in ORAS but PS is still telling me it's illegal. Hasn't Kingler been waiting long enough?

First of all, congrats. As a newly out person, let me empathise with how weird you feel right now. It sounds like you are experiencing similar feelings as I am after coming out. I almost feel a sense of…dread(?) that I’ve actually told someone, that it’s out there in the world and can’t be...

Well, last time I wrote I said that I wanted to come out before my 24 birthday. Well, Thursday was my birthday and on Wednesday, I came out. Not to everybody, I came out to one of my friends, who I knew was also queer. So I basically took the safest option. I still don't know what gave me the...

I understand when people say that you shouldn't feel obligated to come out. That's a stance I 100% agree with. However, when it comes to my own personal experience, I think coming out is the only way I can lead a fulfilling life. I've tried to get by on the premise that it isn't necessary to...

I've struggled with my sexuality for a very long time. I don't mean in the "Am I straight/gay/bi" sense, I mean just struggling with accepting the fact that I'm gay and everything that entails. I figured out around age 18 that I was essentially gay. I had a really hot girlfriend who turned me...

I agree, those damn blacks have too much. I'm glad his DNA was found to have "white" DNA, I just couldn't stand the thought of ancient Africans being fully black anymore. I hope nobody takes this discussion seriously, from an OP who calls people "overreacted (?) sickos" because they take...

Disclaimer: Even though I'm taking about Kangaskhan, I'm only talking about BW Kangaskhan, and purely for the sake of comparison. Calling it now, the best priority abuser is going to be Protean Kecleon. Anyone who played last gen NU knows what a fantastic priority abuser Kanga made with STAB...

Yes, but absolutely no where did I mention Dedicated leads. I feel like this argument is getting tedious already. Marowak can outright beat a lot of common leads, irregardless of whether they are "dedicated" leads, or not. They are still all commonly run in the lead position. Any "choosing to...

Except that that isn't true? Lead usage for August: 1)Golurk 2)Golem 3)Piloswine 4)Seismitoad 5)Sawk 6)Armaldo 7)Onix 8)Liepard 9)Scolipede 10)Gigalith I'd argue that 7/10 of those leads are used in that position exclusively to set SR. And only 2 anti-leads. In my experience, if someone has a...

@Lolkomori How is this problem specific to Marowak? Every single lead faces this issue.

My favourite lead/SR setter in NU thus far has been Marowak. with a little Spe investment it can outspeed and utilise Bonemerang to outright beat common Sturdy/ Ground- weak leads such as Golem, Gigalith, Probopass/Bastiodon, and Metang. It has great physical bulk and thanks to Thick Club it can...

What if Dragonair could learn Coil? As someone who has used Dragonair extensively, I'd say that this would be the perfect boosting move for her. The main issue with using Dragonair is finding the right balance between utilising her excellent type, abilities and defences (with Eviolite) and...

Schadenfreude. As a Nintendo fan, I'm really enjoying just how badly this has been bungled by Microsoft. I mean, after the Wii U you'd think developers would know that confusing and contradictory information with no solid line up of games are the death knells for a console launch, but here we...

Parting Shot sounds good but I'm not down with such obvious power creep ALREADY. I don't know why they couldn't have just made it a Fighting type U-turn, as given it's attributes (Lowering Atk and SpA 1 stage reportedly, keeping momentum) it would need to be sub-40 BP for it to not be...

@CapeFeather I think this mentality is very naive, or else is coming from someone in a very privileged position. Lots and lots and lots of young people (and even older) have had to forgo finding their "dream" job or even a job that they like to do and simply stick with whatever crappy job they...
