    Metagame 2v2 Doubles

    A few unconventional teams I made that I've been having alot of fun with this last month in the post- Chi-Yu meta. I laddered to around ~1480 with each of these before moving on to something else. Trick room Ursaring was a particular fave, as well as stall Tropius which alongside Arcanine was...

    Unpopular opinions

    I really hate to reignite the dark vs evil debate buut if evil is a reference to a scrappy fighting style and not associated with "Darkness" and "Death" etc, why are pawniard and bisharp dark types when they are literally knights and why is yveltal the dark type with its association with death...

    Unpopular opinions

    I usually use healing items on nuzlockes but only because I employ a strict no grinding policy on my playthroughs- at 21 it's hard enough to justify playing Pokemon, let alone spending 6 hours killing 1000 spearow so my charmeleon can take down Misty's starmie...

    Pokémon GO

    Maybe he was just suspicious as to what a bunch of "youths" were doing loitering in and around a church when there is no service or confessions on? Seems highly justified especially if he was a parishioner..

    Sticky Have a question? Ask it here! (NOT SM QUESTIONS)

    I'm one of those people that's trying to avoid as many content spoilers as I can before the release of S&M but I was wondering if it would be possible to have a separate S&M mechanics thread? I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to learn about/ discuss any mechanics changes whilst avoiding any...

    Pokémon GO

    As someone who lives in rural Australia the game is next to unplayable. Only one pokestop in my town, and I'm lucky to encounter one Pokemon an hour. They don't even spawn within walking distance of my house. (And for the hopes of rarity in the bush, I'm up to level 6 from a day in Sydney and...

    Sticky Have a question? Ask it here! (NOT SM QUESTIONS)

    Quick question to any Japanese speakers out there, in English both Snubull and Granbull are categorised as being the "fairy" pokemon and obviously their type change in gen VI reflects this. Just curious as to what to what category they are in Japanese, and if it's fairy, any explanation as to...

    Serious Gender Roles / Androgyny

    I think the concern I have with these discussions is the lack of understanding as to how we got to this point in society in the first place- gender roles and social constructs weren't some "illuminati" conspiracy created by the middle class white man due to their hatred of women and non...

    UK and the EU referendum

    I think it's called "democracy"

    UK and the EU referendum

    Not disputing this data although data is just that- data. So many potential influences as to why this is apparent. Young people may not want to fuck up their Erasmus studies, want their cheap holidays to Magalouf or have idealogical opinions towards immigration that may not actually equate to...

    UK and the EU referendum

    That seems like a pretty great reason for the Spanish not to want elderly expats there too me... so yeah, they should go back to Britain? Therefore good thing for Spain lol..

    The Cutest Sprites and Models

    I wouldn't necessarily say cuter.. but I definitely agree that their sprites improved their personality which solidified 2 of my already favourite pokemon (besides gengar and gyarados of course)

    Worst Nuzlocke Death

    Just posting because I need a bit of a vent, lost my first Nuzlocke on the Champion in Blue today, I had three Amnesia's up on my Snorlax when his Alakazam critted with Psychic OHKOing... it then proceeded to psychic my remaining Venasaur and Haunter into oblivion. So frustrating!!

    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    These arguments really annoy me because these move pool absences for "balance" are completely at odds with them doing things like Parental Bond Kang, Shadow Tag-Gar, Mega Rayquaza, Speed Boost Blaziken, Aerialate M-Sal etc who all have move pools that push broken abilities and stats to far more...

    Pokemon Elections

    The other interesting thing is the west seems no where near as enamoured with legendaries as the east- 8 out of the top 30 in Dorkly's poll vs 23 in the top 30 in the Japanese election (although as has been said, the Japanese results may have been skewed by the hopes of a distribution). Mew is...

    Pokemon Elections

    http://www.dorkly.com/toplist/56974/the-greatest-pokemon-of-all-time-vote-now For anyone that's interested in and East vs West comparison- Dorkly claims to have had 'millions' of votes vs Tokyo's 500 000 or so, and the voting took a slightly different format (top 15 of each generation then a...

    Pokemon Elections

    The a pokemon anomalies aside, it is strange that mons such as Gyarados, Nidoking and Tyranitar didn't make the top 100. They all rated extremely highly in Dorkly's poll a few years ago no? Is the East that different to the West?
