    Spamming ladder works, though I'd also recommend just going onto rand bats and getting used to it there. He gets an idea of the different pokemon, common moves and strategies in a fairly fast paced game. He can get used to understanding different mechanics, different move types, type match ups...

    Yeah, I tried to explain that, but that goes into its own rabbit hole of predicting predictions and trying to figure out how your opponent is thinking. I was also trying to keep it a little more simplified as it is an inherently difficult/ risky play that I'm not amazing at myself.

    It usually helps to have replays, but I can talk on double switching for a little bit. The short answer is yes, you should absolutely learn how to do it. The long answer is it is a difficult and somewhat risky play that relies heavily on prediction. It essentially boils down to predicting a...

    I can't say I've been too active lately (work and school be busy), but the angle you are coming from I believe to be incorrect. Tournaments demonstrate what is centralizing and whether or not they can be successfully played against. Ladder play is also downstream from tournaments. The good...

    Cool, Imma second Deciet on this here: this is an echo chamber on par with r/politics where modding hasn't been consistent and any opinion that isn't the same as yours gets hounded on and harped over, perpetually ignoring parts or arguments and/ or making strawmen with everything else. Ignoring...

    1.) Still a dishonest argument, just because something isn't a top priority doesn't mean that it isn't important to you. Though if you listened to the SOTU last night, you'd hear government plans actually dropped in price for the first time, after doubling during Obamas. 2.) Adowable, is that a...

    I appreciate you taking the time to come up with the creative insult of "kid" and ignoring an olive branch to table this particular discussion and move onto actual discussion on policy, but I digress. Also, for the sake of argument, I will ignore the fact that you broadened my one small portion...

    I'm not sure if you understand what a joke is... I said that to make fun of the idea that everyone who disagrees with left on victimhood and oppression are considered to be racists because we judge people on merit not their skin color, homophobic for reasons unknown other than Westboro Baptist...

    2019-20 NBA Season

    As a Celtics fan I'm glad Capella is off the table, as I have seen some terrible takes for him. For us, there are 2 things I'd like for the trade deadline. 1.) Trade for either Bertans or Bjelicia and 2.) finally get healthy. I'd prefer the latter more, but getting bench shooting would be huge...

    I've honestly been in laughing my butt off for the past 1.5 days. These caucuses have been so abysmally bad that there is nothing positive to take away for independents, and the conservatives (sorry, I'm one of those racist, homophobic, bigoted people who likes government small) are just loving...

    Uh, using Chapo Trap House to bolster an argument might be the easiest way to lose credibility in an argument. Yes, the socialists who go against the system and bring those in power down a notch who have abused the system to making a crap ton of money by offering their goods in a free market and...

    Considering all the Dracovish talk, I figured I'd like to mention another interesting vish counter, Gyarados, notably this set that I created: Gyarados @ Leftovers Jolly Nature Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 34 Atk / 100 Def / 122 Spe - Substitute - Bounce - Waterfall - Outrage Yes, I know...

    I'll avoid the text wall (this time, hopefully) and give three simple arguments. The first is that money can go to charity/ other philanthropic organizations. Those organizations will do a better job than the government. Governments throw money at problems, charities use people to solve them. I...

    Yes, I cut some stuff out, but I kept most of it to focus in on the main points I'd like to discuss. Anyways, you keep military (not a militia, military is full time, trained combatants, militia is local. Think army vs army reserves, there is an important difference) spending because every break...

    We are supposed to be. For the good that Trump has done (a quick note, this was just the largest list I've found, I don't necessarily agree with everything, but the good generally outweighs the bad), he has not been good at cutting the budget/ being fiscally responsible. Mostly because in order...
