    What set are you proposing then? You are being somewhat ambiguous on the moves for the Milotic you are proposing. I just don't see the worth of using Milotic over mons like Suicune, Manaphy, etc.

    None of this is true or relevant, as Milotic can't do jack shit to ANYTHING and is horribly outclassed by other viable water types (see BranFlakes post, he sums it up perfectly). Just look at the viablity ranking and realize how many things either destroy it outright (Raikou, Mega Man, Sceptile...

    No need to jump to conclusions, as CM and Specs have been mentioned numerous times in this threads history as valid options. I think we all agree that Raikou isn't a one trick pony.

    Serious What do you want to do with your life?

    Essentially trying to get a gauge on how things are stateside from people who are actually there since I've been in Japan for most of my adult life. My wife and I have already finished college but I'm still thinking of the future for my kid(s) sake. Appreciate the response though.

    Is anyone here a parent?

    He was born in Japan and both of us are on my wife's registry, although I am more a footnote than anything. We decided to just keep his name the same in both countries. I wanted 仁 to be his first name but my wife decided otherwise last minute.

    Is anyone here a parent?

    I can understand where you are coming, as education has been a very important topic for me and my Nihonjin wife. We've come to the agreement that we will let him decide when he gets older as far as college goes. Since I'm in the Navy I am at the mercy of my assigned duties as to where he will go...

    Where are you going with this question? Name me a Pokemon that doesn't need team support and I will consider this valid, because it looks like you are just bringing random crap to bag on Mega Sableye.

    Well since it has been some time......looking for some help on a Stall based ORAS OU team if you're savvy. I keep getting destroyed by stallbreakers like Landorus and can't help but think theres gotta be a way around this.

    Is anyone here a parent?

    Haha not even sure how you pulled that one off, my son keeps me plenty busy! You got a boy or a girl? Glad to know I'm not the only dad around here. There is a time and place for having kids, but generally you can only do so much "planning," and it usually kinda just happens depending on your...

    Is anyone here a parent?

    If not, do you desire to be one? I have a six month old boy myself and am enjoying the wonders of fatherhood, and was quite curious if any other Smogonites had kids as well or were planning on having some in the future. For those of you who already have kids/are considering having kids, are...

    Completely agree with Albacores post, and also want to nominate regular Sableye for C-/D. While it definitely didn't change much from X/Y, that fact that it got a mega evolution leaves even less reason to use it as a stand alone mon, as people usually utilize its regular form along with its...

    MegaScizor already summed up everything I wanted to say as well as Vertex, but I did want to address some minor points about the bolded section. Mega Beedrill also suffers from those same cons, but is residing in B rather than B-. While it is true that Mega Beedrill does sport a higher base...

    Sapporo is one my favorites, but Asahi and Kirin are great as well. Which brand of Sapporo did you have? Others beers I've had that I would recommend asides from the aforementioned Nihonjin beers: Tiger (Singapore) Singha (Thai) Chang (Thai) Hoegaarden (Belgium) Tsing Tao (Hong Kong) Red...

    Social Online Dating

    I have two friends that have found significant others (one ended up married with two kids) using online dating. I do not believe it is anything to be shamed of nor should be viewed as a lesser means of dating. I do believe it is important to make a physical meeting as soon as possible however...

    Serious The Atheism/Agnosticism thread

    I respectfully disagree with this post, as I am an atheist and have no special routines, rules, etc. that I follow. I simply have a lack of faith that does not allow me to believe in the intangible. That being said, I really wish I could believe, but have yet to hear any good arguments to...
