21:41 dogfish44 chances are the better teams will also have the better items, so you will have some control over your items if you win
21:42 orcinus it still doesn't make as much sense as allowing people to choose
21:42 dogfish44 as much as I'd like the ability (RageCandyBar looks gorgeous to have), it's not something the normal factory does and I don't think it's warranted :\
21:42 orcinus esp. with "chances are" being at the start of the sentence
21:42 orcinus well i mean
21:43 orcinus the way things are right now
21:43 orcinus if you have type relevant +4 dmg items
21:43 orcinus you get a huge advantage because all teams are going to be around the same skill come semis
21:44 orcinus sorry
21:44 orcinus all teams are going to have roughly the same power come semis where pokemon are concerned
21:44 orcinus (hate it when i read something and i type what i read instead of what i meant)
21:44 dogfish44 Eh, I'm neutral
21:45 dogfish44 I'm reasonably happy with my item pool I guess, so I'm probably not the best to comment :\
21:45 orcinus yeah i mean like this is in the interest of fairness to those who ended up with shitty items
21:45 dogfish44 I suppose it'll bring new strategy in
21:45 orcinus a bad starting pool of pokemon doesn't matter that much because you can swap em out
21:46 orcinus items, you're stuck with em
21:46 Canis_Majoris ^
21:46 orcinus and it's pretty unfair tbh
