    Hello, you've been subbed into the NO-Weather Ubers tournament. Your opponent is Dude24, please contact him as soon as you see this!
    Fire Blast in the sun is stronger than Ancienpower against Volcarona (120*1.5*1.5=270, the power if Fire Blast, and 240 is the power if Ancientpower) and Hurricane is fully accurate and stronger in rain (120*2*1.5=360). So Ancintpower has zero use. You are better of using Hidden Power Ice to hit accurately dragons in sandstorm, HP Fight / Ground as extra insurance for Ttar/Heatran and finally Sleep Talk for Breloom / Amoonguss.
    faith unshakable
    heart unbreakable
    waiting for the night
    you put an end to this plight
    you send shivers down my spine
    with your smile so benign
    your face so divine
    please be mine :(
    i have midterms wednesday and thursday so friday after 1 pm EST would be ideal
    When do you wanna play for the #pokemon tourney? My timezone is GMT+1 and I'm free for all of this week.
    The purpose of this letter is to outline a plan to comment on Dragonuser's theatrics. Before I launch into my rant, permit me the prelude caveat that everybody is probably familiar with the cliche that there is a certain Burkean prudence that animates people like me to operate on today's real—not tomorrow's ideal—political terrain. Well, there's a lot of truth in that cliche. I have no problem with the manifestly obvious statement that Dragonuser's desire to desecrate religious objects speaks volumes about his character. I have no problem with the idea that we live in a deeply troubled society. And I have no problem with the special privileges occasionally granted to biggety, conniving wheeler-dealers. What I do have a problem with are his mutinous expostulations.

    Dragonuser definitely wants me to be hanged and drawn and quartered and paraded through the streets in small, chopped-up little bits and thrown out into the fields where no clean animal will touch me. If I did, I'm sure the chortles from Dragonuser and his entourage would be rich and prolonged, especially given how Dragonuser argues that elected national governments are not accountable to their own people. This is an entertaining statement, perhaps, except that when taken at face value it presages a likely attempt by Dragonuser to demonstrate an outright hostility to law enforcement. Now that I've had a chance to cogitate, let me see if I have his argument correct: Dragonuser seems to be saying that embracing a system of collectivism will make everything right with the world. Well, Dragonuser can believe whatever he wants, but we all know that the truth is that stroppy voluptuaries suborn intransigent quiddlers to teach discourteous concepts to children. That said, we mustn't lose sight of who the real enemy is: Dragonuser and his petty chums. In light of what I just stated, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that he thinks that there is something intellectually provocative in the tired rehashing of stubborn stereotypes. This is a fixed and false (i.e., delusional) belief that will lead to his skewering me over a pit barbecue in the immediate years ahead. I don't know if we can cure Dragonuser of this neurotic belief, but I do know that his tracts represent an inseparable mixture of reason and human madness, but always in such a way that only the madness can become reality and never the reason. Alas, I usually get a lot of blank stares from people when I say something like that. What I mean is that I think this is tragic. In other words—and let's say this plainly, clearly, and soberly so that no one can misinterpret Dragonuser's true intentions—if Dragonuser's declamations get any more iniquitous, I expect they'll grow legs and attack me in my sleep.

    Dragonuser is careless with data, makes all sorts of causal interpretations of things without any real justification, has a way of combining disparate ideas that don't seem to hang together, seems to show a sort of pride in his own biases, gets into all sorts of recalcitrant speculation, and then makes no effort to test out his speculations—and that's just the short list! Experience shows that he has become so morally and ideologically degraded, so acclimated to simplism and mercantalism, that he wants to guarantee the destruction of anything that looks like a vital community. Whatever weight we accord to that fact, we may be confident that many of the things that his sycophants write make absolutely no sense. For example, what do they mean by, "Dragonuser is an irreplaceable shaman who can cure the sick, divine the hidden, and control events?" Maybe reading that sentence backwards reveals a hidden message, or maybe it's simply the case that Dragonuser's reasoning is circular and therefore invalid. In other words, he always begins an argument with his conclusion (e.g., that mediocrity is a worthwhile goal) and therefore—not surprisingly—he always arrives at that very conclusion.

    There'll always be some heartless grammaticaster who's eager to complain about my use of English in this letter. He'll probably tell me that it's grammatically incorrect to use the word "drossy" when writing, "Dragonuser is a drossy spouter." Well, the fact is that Dragonuser is a drossy spouter, and the really interesting thing about all this is not that when I see him giving his implicit approval—and in some cases explicit approval—to endow nepotism with a false legitimacy I think that he never misses an opportunity to indulge his preoccupation with his alleged victimization. The interesting thing is that I've heard of moonstruck things like cameralism and elitism. But I've also heard of things like nonviolence, higher moralities, and treating all beings as ends in and of themselves—ideas that his ignorant, unthinking, cankered brain is too small to understand. I indeed can't stress this enough, but Dragonuser's coalition has found a rallying cry for its upcoming battle against our most treasured liberties. That rallying cry is, "Favoritism brings one closer to nirvana!" It's quotes like that that make me realize that Dragonuser accuses me of being a liar. The only proven liar around here, however, is Dragonuser. Only a die-hard liar like Dragonuser could claim that he would never dream of toppling society. The truth, in case you haven't already figured it out, is that instead of taking the easy path in life, the downward path, we must choose the upward path regardless of the pain, suffering, and sacrifice that this choice entails. Only then can we finally keep our courage up. Yes, Dragonuser will try to stop us by declaring martial law, suspending elections, and rounding up dissidents (i.e., anyone who does not buy his lie that he is known for his sound judgment, unerring foresight, and sagacious adaptation of means to ends), but it is hardly surprising that he wants to scupper my initiative to change the direction in which our society is headed. After all, this is the same unpatriotic anthropophagus whose shabby prattle informed us that advertising is the most veridical form of human communication.

    What's interesting is that Dragonuser lacks the dim flicker of sentience one needs to qualify as an imbecile. I put that observation into this letter just to let you see that Dragonuser does, occasionally, make a valid point. But when he says that the Earth is flat, that's where the facts end and the ludicrousness begins. Not to be rude or anything, but now that I've been exposed to his proposed social programs I must admit that I don't completely understand them. Perhaps I need to get out more. Or perhaps his nostrums are testy to the core. That shouldn't surprise you when you consider that he spouts a lot of numbers whenever he wants to make a point. He then subjectively interprets those numbers to support his hatchet jobs while ignoring the fact that the implications of this are obvious. To spell it out, though, if today we don't build a coalition of stouthearted people devoted to stopping him, then tomorrow we'll have to put up with him tricking us into trading freedom for serfdom. Let me end by citing my standard hate-mail response form letter:

    Thank you for your thoughtful reply. One question, though: Do you actually want Dragonuser to influence the attitudes of dominant culture towards any environment or activity that is predominantly mad? Because that's what'll happen if we don't avoid the extremes of a pessimistic naturalism and an optimistic humanism by combining the truths of both.

    I may or may not be available for tomorrow, as I am going to a Jets game. If I am on, it'll be around 6.
