Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
hi :D this was a nice trip down memory lane and a reminder of how frustrating the real life competitive scene can be!
if i looked at it, my vgc12 teams definitely wouldn't have been legal under stricter checks due to some aesthetic choices (i'm pretty sure i still have a dive ball rotom-w which...
I don't really care if the horses are real or fake but the idea with leaks I'd imagine is having enough "true" info that people can never rule you out. It looks like the birds, for example, are legit - but that doesn't automatically make everything else true. And if they end up being fake, the...
We'll find out soon enough but I'm getting more inclined to think that the choice is whether to take home the rental Pokemon, one of the other swapped Pokemon, or the legendary. Since you can't take two Pokemon out of the raid, maybe that's where the choice factor is coming into play?
Honestly considering the amount of work needed for that one, I'm fine with not going back to that level of effort for puzzles. There's a happy medium between "I'm handing you everything, go into this room and have fun" and "Read braille, put hard to find Pokemon in your party in a specific...
I honestly don't get why we aren't making decisions like this the default in any gen - aside from the very obvious bans, let things be broken early on. Then we run a suspect test and people vote and we come to a consensus. The goal should be to eventually reach a stable, enjoyable metagame, but...
With the confirmation that speed adjusts mid-turn, I think TR is going to be absolutely huge this gen. You could have a fast TR setter with Room Service and be able to have your very slow partner Pokemon benefit immediately and be able to attack second before your opponent starts, saving a...
tbh I just don't remember watching everyone play at this point, but my GOATs in no order are Ciele, Earthworm, M Dragon, McMeghan, Heist, Husk, Soulwind, panamaxis, imperfectluck, VIL
Also honorable mention to Bloo the true greatest
I got $250 for a tumblr URL this year so I def think there's a value to certain usernames, though that value is sort of like "if there's a buyer" type value. I'm kinda surprised at some of the non-Pokemon ones that aren't taken more than the Pokemon ones that are available. It's what pluff said...
truthfully, the way companies try and get around net neutrality right now is what they'd unveil first. for example, verizon has go90, their (mediocre) streaming service that you can use anywhere without using your data if you're a verizon customer. this technically skirts around net neutrality...
i'm not a console gamer, i just have my 3ds and play games on my iphone. so my rule for mobile games i genuinely enjoy are that i'd only pay the value of what i think the game is worth (so generally $10-$20). i don't mind paying for extras especially in mobile games where it's free to start, but...
body: pearl
mind: chrysocolla
social: painite
companion: pyrite
curse: aquamarine
first of all i think one of these needs to be "gives better eye sight so you can actually read the jpg"
but i chose pearl for body because you can just kinda chill and be alive and that's p nice. chrysocolla for...
i'm looking for a little advice on how to get started on Living The Healthy Life™. i'm trying to lose like ~20 lbs but also get a little muscle definition (which may come from just working out and losing weight probs). i've done stuff in the past where i worked with a trainer and had visible...
because, in my opinion, capitalism serves as another enforcer for free speech. if a private company --that ultimately seeks to make a profit -- says that they don't want the speech of x group of people, they can choose to do so. and then people who support that group can boycott that company...
