Sir_Squab Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 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. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller.

Major Dash Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 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.

Major Dash Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 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. “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t.

Alg Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 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[spoiler=The team itself]Greninja (M) @ Life OrbAbility: ProteanEVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SpdTimid Nature- Surf- Ice Beam- Dark Pulse- Toxic SpikesTogekiss @ LeftoversAbility: Serene GraceEVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 DefCalm Nature- Defog- Heal Bell- Wish- ProtectVenusaur (F) @ VenusauriteAbility: ChlorophyllEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtkRelaxed Nature- Giga Drain- Leech Seed- Sludge Bomb- Sleep PowderGyarados (M) @ Life OrbAbility: IntimidateEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpdAdamant Nature- Earthquake- Dragon Dance- Ice Fang- WaterfallSuicune @ LeftoversAbility: PressureEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtkBold Nature- Calm Mind- Rest- Sleep Talk- ScaldHydreigon (F) @ Choice SpecsAbility: LevitateEVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SpdTimid Nature- Flamethrower- Dark Pulse- Draco Meteor- U-turn Very much an amateur at this, but having you poke holes in my thought process is the first step toward improvement.

Major Dash Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 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. “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t.

Alg Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 You can use all of your favorite pokemon, you just have to use them in NU.I thought that was the whole point of the tier system, really.

Alg Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I wouldn't say 'jacked up', just that the left leg is a bit on the short side. Still, very good start. that expression I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirschen Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 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.
