;w; i love all my friends i just couldnt think of 100 ppl!
1) Clefable (Mengy) Marioneta (barba) and keppy
Mengy is witty and smart, Barba is the funniest person on this site, and I work well with Keppy! Together we could easily make it off that island, and have a great story to go along with it.
2) I do not rap but if I worked on it I probably could. I'm very good at remembering lyrics and the flow isn't awful lol
3) Probably Blaziken. They have him in Pokken iirc so the ability to flesh out the mon into a fighting game has proven to work. I see Blaziken as somewhat similar to Captain Falcon. It would be fast and deadly but you have to make sure you're on top of your read/prediction game (It's base stats represent that too.) High Jump Kick would be it's big Falcon Punch like move where if you hit it it takes your stock at %50~, and either Flare Blitz or a new move for smash in Blaze Kick could be in there too. Oh and I would want his grab combo game to be good too, since I love the risk reward of those.
Lately I've been watching interrogations: Jim Can't Swim is definitely the best out of the bunch, he lets the video roll for as long as possible while cutting in at just the right moments to interject on what's going on, the techniques being used, ect. Interesting stuff and crime as a whole is fascinating.
DarkViperAU has a series called Speedrunner Rambles where he just responds to questions in chat about current issues, himself, his thoughts on certain internet drama. Super insightful and the perfect thing to throw on in another tab while on PS/chatting on discord. You could also check out his actual speed run stuff but this is mainly what I watch from him nowadays.
Mr Ding Dong Games (what a great name) plays a lot of roms and some vanilla games for nuzlockes/challenges and goes over his runs. Introduced me to some roms like Pokemon Nameless Fire Red. He also has recently been reviewing the games he completes, which is really cool. Overall just an entertaining channel for people who like nuzlockes, sometimes he uses too many memes but ah well people will meme.
Hope you get something out of em
- Why is Tim Hortons better than Starbucks? I am thoroughly unconvinced
- Favourite pair of shoes to find on the road?
- If I had to eat a poutine in Toronto (I wouldn't), where would it be?
- Favourite Canadianism
- Favourite Justin haircut
- Favourite Toronto neighborhood
- That driver badge kinda looks good eh

1) The bagels and the price kek $2 for a large coffee is a steal
2) Cursed image
3) Smoke's Poutinerie is the best here, they have lots of diff flavours and seasonal specials!
4) Looks better short, I also don't fw the beard ngl
5) Downtown in general is the best, Queen street is cool and Lakeshore too!
6) Looks better on you eh, but ty :)
what is the difference between tim horton's and starbucks; all i can remember from the former are a few times i went to it when i was much younger on family vacations to the north and it wasn't very impressive tbh. starbucks is similarly not very impressive beyond a few items, but those few items have at least saved it for me so eh? what's the secret to successful tim horton's excursions
Tim Hortons often has a big selection of drinks! Iced Capps, Frozen Lemonade, White Hot Chocolates are perfect in the winter, French vanilla similarly. If you're just going somewhere for their coffee then I understand just going to the better coffee place. Tim Hortons just has the selection of items that I like! Their drinks are really what saves it for me, the food isn't that great bar simple things like cookies, bagels, muffins.
If you're looking for recommendations: Frozen Lemonade on a nice hot day is the best, French Vanilla or White Hot Chocolate in the winter/when it's cool out.
1) gen 3: I have no proposed changes, idk the gen enough to really give a thought out opinion lol and the people who do like it seem to love it
gen 4: You know I'm wanting to test Roselia at some point, not that forcing removal on teams is a good thing but what Roselia brings to the tier would slow things down a bit. Offense with a random Rose would still pop up but it would fit perfectly into those Bello Quag Reli teams, with Rose over Bello. I could be completely wrong but when have I never been crazy with DPP opinions lol.
gen 5: I would get rid of Shadow Tag as a whole. It doesn't lead to skillful play and punishes slower types of play. Beheeyem is also nasty as hell and I'd look into that, it 1v1's the whole tier it feels like. (people know I'm not big into gen 5 so apologies if my changes r bad)
gen 6: Get rid of Rotom-Frost. Building in ORAS is so fun, almost as much fun as DPP, but man does Rotom just stop any of that. Its 100% answers (bar like Muk which hasn't been doing too hot in a year or so) don't fit on builds very easily. Chinchou is genuinely more splashable than Audino and does its job outside of checking Rotom fine but it has a lot of flaws too. Rotom punishes every semi prepared team whether it be through set variety, sheer power over the course of the game (especially vs muk if you have a steel: just Tbolt/Blizzard/Volt once or twice, they're forced to rest and you can pressure with most things from there.) It's a ridiculous mon.
gen 7: Most of my gripes with SM are personal and don't have much to do with changes we could've made. Simisear is probably the biggest "yeah this could go and I wouldn't have a problem with it" mon. Its defensive answers rely heavily on it not being that one set, and otherwise you have to have a scarfer/anything naturally faster to have any shot against killing it. I would also ban Z moves for this exact reason but if that isnt an option then yeah ban Simisear.
gen 8: Dear god this gen is a mess but it's getting there. Throh feels ridiculous now that Psychic spam has slowed down and Mareanie isn't on every other team. One Bulk Up and most builds just can't kill it in the short term. You would think that I would have more changes but most of my issues with this gen have been completely out of anybody's control. Pre-DLC we had not enough mons, leading to very little defensive counterplay, making everything feel broken. Post-DLC 1, we got some defensive counter play but we woke up one day to 20+ new mons that we somehow need to balance soon and new moves that are all mostly stupid in some way. Gen 7 council would've been a hell of a lot easier than being on Gen 8 council lol.
2) Hot peppers and/or Jalapenos, Mayo, Mustard, Pickles if I'm feeling it.
3) The vibe of the community is different and this goes for most of Smogon. It does feel like Auth is more easy to talk to, or at least more people are willing to talk to us. I believe a lot of this has come down to discord being the biggest platform we have. Now you don't have to wait for someone you want to speak with to be on, or you don't need enough people online on PS to get your team rated/ask a question. This big boom of a whole 'nother platform that doesn't have your messages (for the most part) get lost/have it not be seen has changed a lot. We will forever have waves of different faces wanting to contribute more and move up the ranks, so with that comes a different dynamic between the auth themselves and the people of the community. None of this has to be a good or a bad thing, Discord and the way Smogon is now has come with its "issues" but I do believe we have become better in some ways because of it. These sorts of things are really hard to articulate so if you want a better answer I'm much better at voice calls so just hmu
Ty for the great questions
