It's Super Effective!


Recommended Posts

 

I'm not sure whether that's mocking Tumblr social justice extremists or the (very real, very serious) issues they tend to point themselves at... Overzealous as the former group is, it's hard to disagree with them considering how often their opponents tend to be bigoted. They may be psychopathic at times but there are a lot of issues that are only barely taken seriously even in more tolerant areas, and people behind them that have a pretty shit time when it comes to getting basic human respect...

 

...Or maybe I've been in a bad mood for most of the day and am taking it out on whatever is close. That works too.

It goes both ways I think, there are honestly those who suffer from real issues which are not well understood or appreciated, but likewise there are those out there who are merely in it to seek attention and by doing so only make a mockery of the real issue.

 

 

Honestly I think of them as "rebels without a cause." You get people who want to rebel, want to "stick it to the man," who want to stand up for oppressed minorities. The problem is they don't actually have a cause to start with, they just want a cause.

 

Alternately they are dumb teenagers who view the world as black and white instead of the many shades of grey it is, and then based on biased information (because, let's be honest, getting non-biased information is virtually impossible) they decide what's good and what's bad and start attacking what they think of as bad.

 

There's actually something immensely satisfying about self-righteous indignation. There's something immensely satisfying about ruthlessly attacking something when you believe you have the morale high ground. When you believe something is evil, you can be as evil as you want to it and you're "right" because you're attacking evil. You aren't being evil at this point, you're just giving it (the evil) what it deserves.

 

I believe some of the greatest evil in the world comes out of this mindset. The best example I can think of is crusades and inquisitions - talking about more recent example just feels dark.

Buying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.

Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:

your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupine

The only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

There's a gene named the "sonic hedgehog" or SHH gene... When lacking it really screws stuff up. I would post pics but it is pretty nasty.

“I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”

“Do you have any regrets?”

“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”

“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”

“Mmmhmm.”

Just by looking at your team, it is begging to have hazard support. You also only have 1 physical attacker on your team. Switch hydreigon for lead garchomp with stealth rocks and focus sash or choice scarf.

 

 

 

I'd also like to suggest running sub/waterfall/eq/dd on the gyrados with 248 Hp and 252 attack. Make sure you switch it in on a wall or a weaker physical attacker. Your intimidate will force the mon out or it will make you take the hit with relative ease as you sub down. The sub will protect you from status and harder hits. Once you get 1 or 2 dds up, you should be free to sweep.

For what it's worth, having Ice Fang instead of sub has paid off a few times tonight. As far as hazards go, the Greninja has Toxic Spikes, which I'm starting to see is niche at best.

 

On one hand, I know I have too many special attackers and Hydreigon has a number of flaws (to put it lightly). On the other... I'm hesitant to replace it since it was a pretty big part of why I built this team, and it's been the MVP in a few matches (in addition to massive personal bias). Will test out Chomp tomorrow to see how much of an improvement it is.

 

I also switched out the Sylveon for Togekiss, because it can run defog with the standard cleric set (Since I only just realized that if I'm not going to be using Starmie I'll need some other hazard-killer) among other benefits

Very much an amateur at this, but having you poke holes in my thought process is the first step toward improvement.

I just discovered that a few days ago with Pikachurin. Strange world.

In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

I guess as long as you have answers for smogonbird, thundy, and lando it can't be that bad of a team. I would also like you to think about why you have tspikes and sleep powder. What are you going to try to sleep that aren't affected by tspikes? I might switch tspikes for hp fire or regular spikes.

You can use all of your favorite pokemon, you just have to use them in NU.

Finally finished my first digital art piece using Paint Tool SAI. Honestly, I can't tell what I disliked more: the odd proportions, shading, or the hell linearting is.

The part I dislike the most is how her legs are all jacked up.

Feet are usually my weakness, but I have to agree with you that I seriously [bleep]ed the legs up. On a fun note, I am surprised airbrush is better at lineart than pencil or brush. Note sure if the piece would be worth sharing since it's in a boring (although much more familiar) pose.

 

@Mere: Unfortunately, I know way too many people here who fit that category. They even use the word towards other white people.

Probably listen to too much gangsta rap. They don't truly know what it means if they use it towards other white guys. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if some people use it as a synonym for bro.
