  3. Loved this episode so much, and I felt the way they went about it was nice since I expected it to be just Maxie, Groudon and the player. Hopefully next week we get an Aqua version and then Delta Episode.

  6. Courtney went from sounding like a lobotomy victim to psychopath way too quickly. Can you say, rubber room? O_O
    Also why does Camerupt sound like a horse….

    • It’s brilliant because it actually makes them that more believable. When you watch this they feel less like “durr we want to expand the landmass” groundon-foil team people have made them out to be.

  11. I wonder what was going through their heads when Groudon was awoken? “Like gee let’s run towards the angry lava lizard what’s the worst that can happen?

          I’m pretty sure American unis are different to British unis anyway.

          I’m assuming he’s American at least, I could be wrong.

          • Lol. Fair enough. I used to be a good student when I first started. Don’t think I attended a single lecture in my final 2 years however. Came out with a First Class Honours.

            Either the system is broken, or the system is broken.

          • The UK system is the opposite, attend all the lectures, still do badly because you ‘worded your answer wrong’ and nobody gets a top grade.

            Also I have no idea how high a first class honours is, I’ve only done a BTEC (level 3 qualification) and a HND (level 4/5 qualification).

          • For the record that was my experience in a UK university. I felt my time could be better spent doing the learning in my own time, than spend hours sitting in a lecture theatre listening to somebody droning on and on. Especially as you come to realise most university lecturers are there for the benefits to their own research and teaching just comes as part of the package.

            And a First Class Honours is the highest degree classification you can get.

          • Yeah, the UK education system sucks, I really don’t get why it’s so highly regarded. The only thing I think we teach to a higher degree is maybe English and Drama. IT is certainly sub-par, there were times I ended up correcting the teachers’ facts and code.

            Huh, neat. If I hadn’t lost faith in the education system I would have been doing my degree this year. That last year killed me though, I wanted to leave but nobody would let me.

          • Yep the education system definitely sucks. I felt alot of my exams were unfairly marked because I didn’t write things exactly as they wanted them. I also realised they don’t want you to challenge them because the response you get is ‘oh, it’s already gone through the exam board, cant be changed now’.
            It’s not about what you know, it’s about whether or not you use the words they want you to. I also looked at the mark schemes they use and it’s literally a checklist of key words…use this word, get a mark.

            Like I said they only care about the funding they get through the university for their research, why spend hours marking what I wrote in an exam, when you can be done in a couple of minutes and get back to what you actually enjoy doing.

          • Yes, exactly. I’m glad it’s not just me that noticed this. Back in secondary school we had a teacher who actually spent lessons teaching us how they wanted things worded in exams.

            Yeah, our teachers used to just show us the mark schemes they were given to try to make things easier for us.

            Yeah, I can imagine that.
            A lot of the education system has become about money.
            They want to get as many students through the system as possible so they can secure more funding, completely uncaring about the grade or if the student actually knows what they’re doing. Out of all the people in my class who came away having ‘passed’ the programming unit, only about 2-3 of us could actually write a program, the rest just copy+pasted and tweaked stuff from the internet (and asked me to fix their bugs for them because they didn’t understand what a syntax error was or what causes a stackoverflow or a cast exception).

          • Ah. In that case I would assume they are similar. I still don’t know what uni is like though… ( ^ _ ^ ‘)

          • Yeah, but they function differently I think.

            I’m pretty sure uni is more intended for people living on-campus, but I could be wrong. And I think the way the lecture or classes work are different.

          • I always thought colleges have campus?

            Any way, it works different in NL anyway. We dont work with campus. Most students who dont want to live at home anymore while being at college/uni just rent a one-person appartment or room close to the school

          • The one I went to had buildings, but it didn’t have any places for students to stay (i.e. dorms/dormitories) as far as I know. It was all just learning facilities, no residency areas.

            Yeah, that’s how it works here.
            I think staying at a college (i.e. in dorms) is more of an American/Canadian thing.

            I could be wrong though.

          • Yeah it is. I think its because in America, people tend to want to become independent once they reach 18. In Europe, we dont really care about that. I’m almost 24 and still live at home and also not planning yet to move out. Why should I anyway? Lol, saves me a buttload of money too

          • Oh good, so it’s not just people in the UK who stay at home 😀 (In fairness, part of the excuse is the stupidly high house prices)

          • I have lived on my own before, but it was boring because you’re alone most of the time. So I moved back in with my parents. The money wasn’t even my biggest issue at that time

          • Probably wouldn’t have made much difference to me if I were capable, I spend most of my day semi-isolated from my parents anyway, hidden behind a computer screen.

            I think my parents could probably afford to pay for accomodation if I went to uni, the main issue would be surviving on my own.

          • If I may interject for a moment I may be able clear at least in part things up. As far as European university and colleges work I have no idea. However in the US universities and colleges are very similar. Most of the time the only real difference is that universities are bigger than colleges and may have more campuses. As for lectures it all really depends on the major and professor who is teaching thr class as far as sick days and tardiness works. Hope that helps at least a little hahaha

          • Mostly makes sense.

            It was all going fine until ‘major’. Either they never told me about what the different available qualifications were at college or Britain’s qualifications are very differently named.

            Also none of my college lecuturers were ‘professor’ or even ‘doctor’ level, they were just plain Mr and Mrs.

            It seems to me that US universities have a lot more archaic terminology behind them, like ‘alma mater’ and ‘major’ and ‘honours degree’. We might have that too, but I only ever hear them mentioned in the context of US iniversity.

          • Britain’s qualifications are differently named. I dont understand the major thing myself.

            We have university degrees straight after college, usually around aged 18.

            Most courses provide a 3 year degree called a Bachelor’s degree. After you complete this you have the option to do a further year to get a Master’s Degree. Usually in a more specific field, following your Bachelor’s degree.
            And following on from his you can choose if you want to do a 3 year PhD to get your doctorate.

            Medical and Law degrees work slightly differently I think.

            Alma Mater is just what you call the university you graduated from. Its not used as often in the UK, but it is still a thing

          • Fair enough.
            We have a ‘level’ system as a sort of spine to all the differently named qualifications to help people understand them better.

            https://www.gov.uk/what-different-qualification-levels-mean/list-of-qualification-levels

            To be fair, I did it a bit differently because I did two runs of college instead of going to uni because I didn’t feel well equipped enough to survive on my own (and I still don’t. I can program in ~5-6 different programming languages but I can’t use an oven, a washing machine, or a dishwasher)

            Part of me would have liked to go into the deep study route of doctorates and PhDs, but I don’t feel like I’m smart enough. I still can’t stay awake long enough to read a white paper, and my maths skills top out at functions, vectors, matrices and lambda calculus.
            PHD is a level 8 qualification, Masters is level 7 and degree with honours is level 6 I think.

          • Yes, that’s a much simpler way to look at it. I just quickly summarised how university work in the U.K.
            Personally I’m at the Masters level (Level 7) and trying to will myself to do a PhD but I don’t know if I have it in me to do another 3 years. And at the same time I want to work towards gaining the title of Professor, which is essentially top of the game, but again I don’t know if I have it in me.

          • It’s actually not that impressive. I have a Master’s degree in Pharmacy and only just started practicing. But my interest is in Pharmaceutics, so I’m hoping to do PhD in Drug Delivery/Formulation, and hopefully become a Professor in the field of Drug Design. But that’s an incredibly far fetched dream at the moment.
            I am a number of things, but my single biggest weakness is my extreme laziness. Sometimes I marvel that I’ve even gotten this far…

          • When your highest qualification is a level 5, it’s pretty impressive.
            Drug design is an interesting topic, but there’s still the issue of the financial issues driving drug companies to focus on the business aspects, which is a shame. Still, very interesting. The most I can remember from biology about bacteria and infections is how some bacteria disguise themselves as proteins and other useful things to get into the blood stream before attacking.

            Shame you’re not becoming a programmer, that’s one of the three virtues: http://threevirtues.com/
            (I’m also prone to laziness and procrastination.)

          • Sorry “major” the kind of degree you are going for. Like I majored in Communication studies lol

  15. Generations is so underwhelming.
    Well, guess that’s what you get when you make 4 minute long episodes.

    I liked how Courtney was portrayed,and I liked seeing Sceptike wreck the base. But. It was still bad

        • Art is subjective. There’s some art film that literally a single blue screen for like ten hours as a blind man narrates over it. Its a beautiful piece of work, but I can see most people finding that complete crap.

          Reply

          • I liked the days when art just meant ‘pretty pictures’. Unmade beds and ‘that thing you just described’ are just weird.

            I prefer Dali and Reubens to Picasso and Mondrian.

  18. Shiggy just stole that pic someone here posted of a puddle of oil and called it ‘Muk’…
    ; n ; Dammit Shiggy, still from other Twitter users, not PJ.

        • I mean Mallow is letter for letter the plants name (but she’s the Grass specialist so it’s easy to see why) but so is Kiawe. But it is weirder that the types weak to Grass do have such obvious plant names.

          Reply

          • Kiawe is less obvious though if you don’t know plants. Mallow is obscure but moew obvious than others.

            Sophocles… still not sure what plant that is.
            Hala is obscure, Ilia is obscure, Lana is obscure, Plumeria is obscure, Guzma is obscure.

            You get the point.

          • True. Although I didn’t really notice ‘olive’ until it was pointed out since Olivia isn’t really a common name where I come from and thus I didn’t think it out that much.

        • In japanese, literally all the gym leaders/elite 4 members/champions/Alolan equivalents are named after plants (there might be exceptions but from a sample of me randomly looking, the rule stuck :p) .
          In many cases this also applies to the English translations, for example in the Kalos elite 4.
          It’s kind of the essence of major NPC naming in pokémon, if anything it would be weird if she wasn’t named after a plant!

          Reply

          • Some of them are a bit of a double name though, like Misty’s name ‘kasumi’ literally meaning mist and just being an allusion to a flower.

            And again, the plant names are quite obscure.
            Olivia is clear cut – olive plant, but stuff like Drasna -> Dracaena and Siebold -> siebold crabapple aren’t obvious.

          • True the plant names are often obscure, and there a many double meanings (which I think is really cool), but the fact remains plant are an essential naming component of pokémon characters, there’s quite honestly too much evidence for the similarities to be coincidental.
            And frankly Olivia is a widespread name, unlike Drasna or Siebold, so it kind of looses it’s connotation a lot. When I think of the name Olivia, olives don’t really come to mind, to me anyway.

  22. I’ve been 100% correct about the Sun and Moon characters from the first small images. The trial captains are the new characters. MAallow is the new main girl. Lana Has Popplio. Soph has the electric mouse. And Ash with Rowlet. Intersting he’s stayin in Kukui’s home though.. I smell Amourshipping! ;P
