extra:
Y. How much do you love yourself?
N. Did you like answering the 2 questions above?
?. Why?
1.
2. I actually don't have any favourites - I don't really read too regularly to have any general opinion and I feel like I haven't read enough to really tell
2. Blissey can't viably run Confide if it can't conversely punish its checks or is taken on by another Calm Mind user, which just pushes Magearna past it easily. Split is also a massive pain for Blissey and that just seals the deal imo
4. Again, don't really have a standing favourite here.
5. I'm never sure my obscure facts are factually correct, but I am fairly certain you can represent the Bernoulli numbers using an n*n matrix using Pascal's triangle
7. 35 - ITH takes half from Stresh and Andy
8. Ha nothing sticks with me. You expect me to be culturally involved?
9. Based on my reaction with drugs and tobacco I highly doubt it. But I'm all for legalizing it for medicinal usage anyway
10. It happens completely randomly but sometimes I will just scour places for dropped coins, despite not even being broke. I guess I like change
11. 5.
12. Not that much. Wish I had more to do outside of it though
13. !
Y. It fluctuates from near narcissism to self-despair. Dangerous variance but I don't care
N. Yeah! I was fine with it.
?. They weren't particularly personal I find
I exist again, it seems. I have a hodgepodge of topics here in mind. Only some of them are important. (As a side note before I begin, it looks like we have quite a few similarities with the conditions we're under...)
1.) What was your experience like between the time that you were still somewhat new here and the time that you became staff for Mix and Mega?
2.) Have you read any good books lately?
3.) When are we getting together to brainstorm ideas to make both Magearna and Darkrai as busted as possible?
4.) How accurate is the phrase "Friendly snake, bark at me like a snake is known to do!"?
5.) So what's the worst thing that the current US government is doing right now?
6.) How do you feel about Pokemon randomizers as a whole?
6a.) As a followup question, how terrifying is it that Donphan was randomized into a 200 base attack or so Steel-typed monster with blazing speed and Hustle? (and paper defenses, but there's nothing else that could happen with that spread)
7.) What's your favorite field of mathematics?
8.) What's your favorite set that you've been beaten by? Least favorite, if you can remember that?
I'll have more later. Just know that I'm proud that you came this far. I know you can go farther, and that you'll find your purpose here eventually...
1) Discovering how broken Magearna is was a treat. That's basically all that went on
2) (oops I forgot the subtitle of the book)
3) You've really been beaten to it, to be honest. I don't think, apart from counterteam sets like Houndoominite, Magearna can be made any better than it is
4) Completely inaccurate and hopeless of conveying anything to me
5) Not acting upon the unfairly placed net neutrality laws that have been scammed into existence
6) Fairly interesting - but I doubt I would play them due to luck potentially barring you from progress
A) Durant mark 2 I guess? Ban that shit to AG anyway, it probably has great coverage too
7) Ooh, difficult one, but if I were to say anything then calc / number theory come to mind as my favourites
8) Cameruptite Magearna - both times, I love using it but hate facing it
Yo Chazm, big fan!
1. What could get Weavile to be decent in MnM once again?
2. If you had to choose one Pokemon to unban from holding a Megastone, which would it be?
3. If you had to pick one restricted Megastone to be available for all Pokemon, which would it be, and why?
4. Thoughts on how Mega Gengar would impact the current meta?
5. Are you aware of how fundamental you are for the MnM community? Because you should be!
7. How great are stresh and In The Hills?
8. Do you wish that TheCoastsOfToast played MnM? Can you try to convince him?
6. Not a question but I hope all is good irl!
1. Fire coverage, or at least some way of hitting Steels hard
2. Difficult one - Deoxys-Speed and Mega Gengar are good options but I think I would pick Necrozma-DW due to being unable to fix its poor typing (Psychic primary is ass :()
3. I wouldn't pick any, but if I __had__ to I'd say Pidgeotite
4. MGar would be very nice for the metagame but I can't help but think how it would push Zygarde over the edge (and possibly Terrakion)
5. Yes, but I know I spark controversy
6. Luckily, you would be right
7. Stresh is a great user and is infinitely knowledgable - ITH compiles a lot of nice stuff for resources but I have to say he can be a bit annoying with how he views games / dismisses certain mons (not Mage, that's understandable) etc
8. Nah, I'm fine with tcot playing what he wants.
What makes people say "translate your Ubers knowledge if you are going to play MnM" and why should they stop saying this misleading sentence
Is it really misleading other than the fact that Ultra sucks here and Magearna isn't bait anymore?
Round 1 of my questions are the following
1. How are you?
2. Are you fine?
3. Do you drink enough water?
4. Why didn't G-Luke answer my questions?
5. Do you have his autograph?
6. Are you ready for round 2?
1. I'm bored
2. Yes
3. Sometimes a bit too much according to my irl friends
4. No idea. My first guess is complete obliviousness
5. Nope
6. Yes, luckily
what would you do if i held a throat to your knife?
if you had a pokemon type what would it be?
if you could, then would you?
?
favorite pokemon generation, both competitively and ingame (and overall if you want)?
y/n?
What knife? :blobsweat:
Probably a light type (radiation, not relating light to fairies here) - SE to Dark, Ghost, NVE to Fire, Electric, Grass, Steel. Resists Electric, Steel, hit effectively by Dark, Steel.
I would. But if I could, then maybe I wouldn't.
Competitive would probably have to be gen 4 but I'd say best overall is 5 for its expansive endgame, innovative region, entirely new Pokedex (BW), and its great animations.
