I'm in the exact same position. I think it's actually a good thing: a life well lived is not one of constant consumption. Playing a game for its own sake doesn't often make us grow, so I've come to appreciate social aspects more. I'm happy to stream a playthrough of something to my friends...

GP 1/1 Hello and thank you, (for what) everyone. Yesterday, I was reading the Policy Review thread on the crystal mommy gimmick and found that it was full of drawn out, low-IQ posts by some of our communities community's leading influencers. It was then that I realized they did not study STEM...

How about people nominate teams and give their reasoning, then the X most-nominated are voted on? Would let people shout out the teams they liked and generate more discussion.

wow look at all this fun other players were having

I will say, some people are taking the sets a bit too seriously. Held items are rare in-game cause it feels bad to get got by them, and fainting to optimal coverage after hours of mooks isn't a good feeling either. There's a middle ground between naming 6 mons and preparing for ladder. A...

GP 1/2 [OVERVIEW] Mr. Mime is the best Psychic-type in RBY NU. Its excellent Speed, STAB Psychic, and lack of weaknesses let it work as a lead, wallbreaker, or cleaner, and most teams will have issues checking it with anything other than their own Mr. Mime. It also makes an excellent revenge...

I did think of Gabite, but decided against it because it would only feel like a lesser echo of the Garchomp; the only clever thing I could think of was it setting up Sandstorm in advance. It just signals 'this is filler' to the player, same as the many late-game Onix in early gens. I wanted each...

GP 1/2 GP Team :bw/ursaring: [OVERVIEW] Ursaring is an amazing wallbreaker in NU. When holding an Eviolite, Ursaring makes for a fantastic setup sweeper with Bulk Up. Eviolite + Bulk Up Ursaring makes for a fantastic sweeper, while (might wanna play up its defensive contrast to forb, a little...

Do not write an analysis in a form that puts emphasis on changes by generation. This includes avoiding phrases such as "With the advent of BW," "With the newly introduced Fairy-types," and "With the new ability to Mega Evolve."

I've been playing as much as I can and still think it's way too early to productively talk about it. I will say I've been one of the few naysayers. I like BotW, and so I can't NOT like BotW 2, but I'm unconvinced this was worth the wait. People are fawning over "scope" and "stuff to do" without...

watch out for apostrophe absence/misuse (Torterras, it's), capitalizing stats like Speed, and putting a hyphen in types like Grass-type. note that super-effective (RH) is ambiguous; space or no space? i like to just make the change and put the whole phrase in blue very well, you know your...
