Phione is a sweet innocent slug child and deserves something to make it different from Manaphy
Like giving it an Evo that looks similar to Manaphy but different
Yes
Gooooood Morning Assholes!
How are y’all on such a terrible morning
I’m probably on the 4th or 5th layer of hell now?
Just 5 or 4 to go
Exploring Hyrule wbu?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fb-3i_POk8
oh my god that’s perfect
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwSra5p8MDw
So are Callie and Marie actually sisters or is it just their duo name? It’s been bugging me for a few days
They’re actually cousins
That pun would work better if Marie was pronounced mar-rie instead of ma-rie.
So Araquanid dropped from C to -C
Is smogon that fucking stupid?
Well I mean
It has a rough time with anything that resists water (especially if they’re physically bulky) and considering how low its HP stat its great defense stats aren’t nearly as bulky as it needs to be. It’s also dreadfully slow and doesn’t have the best coverage, especially since its coverage and Bug STAB aren’t exactly that strong either
But here’s the thing
RU -C? The lowest rank in the tier?
It literally kills half the tier, resists another half, and has a lot of really strong match ups. I can see it not being A or S but bottom tier RU? That’s a bit much…. Plus, it beats a lot of key Ru threats like Reuniclus, Cress, Shaymin, Salazzle, and Venusaur. I would at least push for B
Apparently the viability ranks aren’t final so..
It’s probably because how predicable it is tbh
And Salazzle, and around half the other mons in the tier aren’t? Gardevoir literally runs one set and a lot of higher tier mons resist it. Perhaps it’s a little too harsh don’t ya think? Keep in mind, Tapu Lele is a predictable mon
Oh, and they consider Normal Exeggutor -C too, which already shows the reliability of this list
Tapu Lele has amazing offense stats and doesn’t rely on its ability to make one STAB good (although it does become a psychic nuke thanks to terrain), meaning it can dish out four different types offense wise whereas Araquanid can only do one (Leech Life is only good on the physically frail or those weak to it anyway)
Yeah but still, water hits most mons in the tier outside of Mantine and Toxacroak
And Mirror coat basically lets it insta-kill some mons, it’s an extremely effective trap
Though giving it some thought, the validity list isn’t even that accurate yet considering a few other things…. like how only one person can edit the list atm
If they know you’ve got Mirror Move it immediately decreases in usefulness because they know to avoid it
And the thing is Tine and Croak are hard counters, which is probably why it’s so low. Not much Pokémon have such heavy counters in the same tier as them, yet Araquanid has two.
Yeah but Toxacroak literally never comes up…
And certain mons are forced to attack special, so it forces switches which are quite scary against Araq
I guess we’ll just have to wait till the tier is solidifirf
Solidified
What even is a solidifirf
Also plenty of mons have two hard counters, it just means they aren’t top top tier
I’m not arguing for top, I’m arguing for mid
https://youtu.be/X8ZTB1yUKkc
I ain’t tho
I’m just provin a point boi
Higher tier as in higher rank, particularly Escavelier, Doublade, and Reuni
Are there more than 1 of those Koroks that can expand your inventory with Korok seeds? Or is just the one guy near Kakariko?
its just him i think, he moves tho
Only one guy that pops up randomly, but [spoiler] he is stationary in the korok village when you find that [/spoiler]

Ah crap I thought I missed something lol Thanks
Np
Korok Village is in the Faron region i assume?
Not sure, but its north east of the castle.
for overwatch/Zelda peeps

I need healing
I was expecting music.
I got something better.
I’m in Zora’s Domain and have cleared about 8 or 9 shrines i think. Is that good or should i do more before continueing main quests?
um….spoilers much?
How is that a spoiler when shrines and Zora’s were revealed before release?
i don’t know dude i don’t even know
so why say it lol
i really don’t know why i said it
how is that spoilers
I’m avoiding spoilers for the game as much as possible and all I know from this comment is that there’s shrines and Zoras
Both of which were heavily advertised
I wont post anything here story related unless i have a question and i’ll use spoiler tags when that occurs
oh….well i’m an idiot of the highest calibre
@symmetricaljesus:disqus Where you there for the legend of Mary?
heh legend of mary
Psych textbook
Thank God I dropped Psych for Chem
It’s glorious
Believe in Mary
I’m making a movie called “Borderline.” Can somebody help me get footage of Staraptors in the wild?
why is your goddamn profile so weird?
You missed Mary
It was a psych question that started with the phrase
“Mary is sexually aroused by Aardvarks”
……wow
Yeparoonis
alright well now i know why your profile says that…..but it’s still weird
You sent softcore yokai watch porn tho?
…….maybe….
That was a fairy good point

I can think of other dandy things… plenty of em
well thats all fine and dandy but I don’t want to hear any of them ಥ‿ಥ

Same person who named a disorder which reduces blood clotting ‘love of bleeding’

😀
You should Nickname an Araquanid like that
Wet Long Legs
Perfect
Or Wetty Long legs
Ok so should I just say f*ck it and get BOTW for the wii u? its not like I can afford the switch anytime soon but I will be getting it at some point
Everyone here who got it say that it’s one of the best game they ever played, so I guess I’d recommend it
for the wii u as well?
What I heard is that sometimes the Frame rate is lame, but mostly, it’s equally good
oh i don’t care about frame rate, ok, well ill get it and then when I finally have money and the switch ill re-buy it, along with skyrim
I agree
Tis I the Frenchiest fry
https://youtu.be/tl363Wh4ghU
Seriously tho this soundtrack is amazing I’m listening to it as I’m writing
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bfb0cc2b2c2c2e364d1a0339525166580762b76b0f32aa38a7dd5a33afa11ab6.jpg
So, any particular less than stellar from SuMo you guys know? I am trying to make them all good
So far I’ve done
Lycanroc Verlisify form
Pal of the sand
Meow Mix John Cena
Everything that isn’t an ultra beast ?
(Implying Toxapex is bad)
I mean worse than RU
I mean I’d definitely say that RU is less than stellar considering its only two up from PU
So pretty much all of Alola
A lot is in UU
(RU isn’t exactly bad… Cress exists there now)
Also the power creep happened… so RU is basically UU at this point
Which would mean that the once average become subpar because the roof is raised
Basically, that’s the power creep in a nutshell
Uber is broken
OU is slowly (Rapidly really) approaching that level
UU is the new OU, good
Ru is the new UU, the average
By this rate, they’ll have to create a new tier below PU called SU (shit used)
Seriously though
Or FU, that works too XD
Oh, right, forgot that one is already an unofficial tier.
:3
That’s not how a power creep works. It means that the tiers are still what they used to be, it’s just that the Pokemon have moved due to an increase in the power ceiling without a raise of the power floor
UU is still UU, it’s just that things from OU are now worse because they got counters and competition, etc
I mean I get that, I’m just saying basically that’s what the tiers are kinda like now. OU basically seems a lot more like Ubers while UU seems more like OU
They’re still the exact same levels of powers tho, it’s just because things have changed so drastically that you’re getting an illusion of a difference
UUs this Gen are no better than those last Gen in their own conditions, etc
Super Mario Shiinotic
Planet of the apes Oranguru
Oranguru is actually already really good in the right teams
But I will give Shiinotic a shot… hope it works
Shiinotic is actually a really good pokemon, it has pretty decent sp.def making it kinda tank like, and it has moon blast, it can also heal and be a sleeper.
It was actually my MVP in the main campaign, even when all my other pokemon died, it only got taken out twice
😀
I’ll try my best!
ok amy rose
Damnit
I have a Bold Rain Dish one with
Spore
Strenght Sap
Moonblas
Leech Seed
So, so good
HE TRIED

When your rank is too high for you and you want to lower it just to appear average
Yes indeed
The name is perf
http://i.imgur.com/zguuYvm.png
Perfect
man why does everybody think i put yokai watch porn on here?
Because you did
Look at your desktop.
It’s that picture you posted.
But maybe you changed it idk
Anyone seen the SU leaks? This bomb definitely is deciding if I quit watching or not tbh
I’m so lost in SU right now…
LEAKS LIKE FULL EPISODES?
No
Two minute previews
I’m goona keep hate watching it
Have you seen the designs of those silhouettes
No just fan art. Post the leaks my boi
https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/9/93538/1378499-001966_link_mah_boi_by_zephyrcape.jpg
Really ugly designs imo
Spoilers obv
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/784156404bdfd9fb940b5080a752d9ce1867da9829378cccf7dfa221cf1056d6.jpg
…
Yep I think I’m done.
TF is the blue one
I’m more disappointed than angry
They’re just such ugly generic designs
They look like bad gemsonas wtf.. why are they introducing more characters anyways? What about
*ahem*
Garner
Amethyst
Lapis
Peridot
Mystery Girl
Andy
Holly Blue Agate
Jasper
Centipeedle
The famethyst
Skinny Jasper
Ruby Squad
Connie’s personal life not involving Steven
Rose
Marty
BISMUTH
Keep in mind the yellow one is actually two in one
Joy
Did… did they do any planning at all? Usually you plan out a story before you make it?
No they just need to service the fanbase with more meme characters
Uhgggggggggggggg
At least they aren’t eye bleedingly neon
i’m not basing them on their appearances
we haven’t seen what they are like and what they do
It’s obvious based off the appearances
One is what happens when Lapis fucks Peridot and the other is an uninspired Garnet/Jasper thing
T_T you twat
look y’all can shitpost on it if you wish but until the actual episodes air and are fully reviewed then thou can complain properly
Please don’t say twat you yanks can’t pronounce it for shit and I’m already cringing
And the series is just bad so far even for a kids show so I’ll say whatever the fuck I want idiot XD
you’re just being ridiculous now
It’s a bad kids show
Why do you care so much
no its not a bad kids show, if you don’t like it don’t watch it, but its my favourite show of all time, and I absolutely love it
?
Because i like it?
I haven’t seen the upcoming episodes and have zero right to say they’re bad yet
I’m not saying they’re gonna be bad I’m saying they’re probably gonna be bad form my standpoint
well then that’s your problem
Then don’t comment on my post and call me a twat?
then don’t act like one then
Ouchie someone’s opinion is different? Need a bandage kiddo?
‘One is what happens when Lapis fucks Peridot and the other is an uninspired Garnet/Jasper thing”
And you’re having the moxie to call me a kid
It’s half joking and I was talking with Star who had a similar opinion
I’m not the one who calls people twats out of the blue, does insulting people help you feel big?
look i just calls em as i sees em
And I sees the upcoming episodes as not enjoyable for moi
Au revoir
Just because it’s a kids show doesn’t give it an excuse. Kids deserve better
Why do all of the brute gems look the exact same with different colors? Amethysts are just purple Jaspers. Like it’s so lazy. Rose was a quartz and looks unique
It though SU has good character design
One looks like they just looked up ‘modern fairy’ and the other looks like they searched ‘gem gayer than garnet’
still a better design than lapis, ALTHOUGH I really hate when the gems are super mono-chromatic, I like gems with multiple shades and colours, like peridot, pearl, bismuth
??? Lapis has a nice design tho? It just isn’t consistant
She has a neon function like Topaz has her new fetish bait function
the design itself has flaws, but there are some points of her that I’m ok with, but I hate her colour scheme and her boring dress and hair
I really like Lapis’ design tbh, it’s simplistic but not Topaz and Aquamarine level bland
She should’ve stuck to her debut colour palette though
I feel like they’re doing the base gems more and more simplistic so that their possibility for fusion designs are easier to do, like I can see an Aquamarine/Pearl fusion being amazingly beautiful
There’s simplistic and then there’s just bland imo, Pearl’s design is simple but effective whereas Aquamarine just looks like a generic fairy who hot strangled to death
Just imo tho
thats fine, and I apologize, I get heated on occasion
Don’t apologise, we all do it
im a canadian, its in my contract
Side note: I apologize if I have come off as rude, its just that steven universe is the thing in this world that makes me happiest and I have a hard time accepting that others don’t see it as the magical empowering show that I think it is
I wish I still did :/
The neon is terrible. She looks best in Mirror Gem
actually I agree, and I wish that her eyes were permanently white
Welp, I’m glad I never liked it in the first place.
Shiinotic does not get Infestation
There goes my entire strat
I’m still majorly upset that Mudsdale didn’t get Bulk Up
i mean if the Jizz Rag got it why not a creature known for muscles
Because Mudsdale is all about sustained power and not buffing its muscles or vitality
Or some bs like that
Picture it flexing :3
Rizz Jag
Why would a mushroom be able to infest something with insects?
Ekans learns it
It appears to be infestation in general, not just bug infestation
Huh, it’s a badly translated move.
The original name means ‘follow about’, implying stalking rather than an army of tiny insects like the animation implies.
Seems to be mostly bug, poison and grass that learn it.
There are som very strange exceptions though.
It’s a weird move.
http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2017/04/170428_p05.html?i006=news
It’s happening! Or just one big troll!
It’s cute af
Leo should’ve been Solgaleo
Who would have guessed that Ophiuchus is a Machoke?
Gemini should have been Plusle and Minun instead of two Pikachus.
Not sure what some of these are supposed to be.
I’m guessing Ho-oh is Apus.
Murkrow is obviously Corvus.
I think Arcanine is Canis Major and edge-wolf is Canis Minor.
Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are obvious.
Guessing Lucario is Vulpens.
Rayquaza is probably Draco.
Not sure about MIlotic since Seviper appears to be Serpens.
Maybe Milotic is Hydra.
No clue what Chandelure and Lunala are.
GET IN MY BAG NEBBY!
*also two of my fav things in one, pokemon and space*
Wow the latest Simpsons did a Pokemon Go side-plot
Oh god
I just ran out of breath ranting about Steven Universe to a friend who doesn’t watch Steven Universe
remember you gotta learn how to intake with your nostrils during a rant
Pausing for breath weakens your argument
Isn’t that what normally happens?
What’s everyone’s zodiac sign, and what Pokemon do you feel best suits it?
Gemini.
And plusle and Minun suits it better, Wich is kinda obvious
I love them ;3
aquarius-pelipper
EYYYY
AYYOOO
scorpio – skorupi
Libra….
http://alteredorigin.net/images/wpay/dcNET-WZLibra.png
granted i very much have a libra personality
You’re as charming as a frogs arse :p
That’s why I don’t believe in zodiac signs 😛
Aquarius and Pelliper cause water carrier and represented by air
Seriously, you tell me a better Pokémon for Aquarius, you can’t
Traditional or stellar-drift corrected?
http://www.livescience.com/9292-wobbly-earth-means-horoscope-wrong.html
Traditional because they don’t matter anyway
Bah, amateurs.
Good thing mine is the same either way.
So some potential tidbits of the possible Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga game
Apparently its not the full title and the game might be called “Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions”
No additional info other then this leaked icon
http://nintendoeverything.com/wp-content/uploads/mario-luigi-superstar-saga-dx.jpg
…awesome
The original Superstar Saga was gold.
i dunno the underwater sections totally ruined it for me
Meh, they didn’t last that long.
they were sooooooo annoying
and hunting the Beanstar fragments was a annoying chore
I never beat it, I got into bowsers castle somewhere and then lost my game
i kinda feel like restarting Dream Team now….
Hermie was the only beanstar obstacle I remember causing an issue.
Designbomb thing was mildly difficult but mostly easy.
The Yoshis were easy because I’d already been tracking the beanfruit.
Can’t remember the other two parts.
If Americans ruin ‘bam’ like they’ve ruined ‘twat’ I’ll actually cry
but iv’e never heard of that and i’m from america
We are going to ruin everything
Just you wait
Just you.. wait
I’ll make sure to ruin it just for you :3
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Lucky
Although I’m mostly joking
Silvally gets explosion
We’ve known since November
I know, I just wanted to reiterate, nothing wrong with that
so does Lickilicky
True
But just picture Gladion just walking his pet Silvally dog and it just spontaneously explodes
well it IS artificial
it may look like a creature but its still synthetic
its kinda like how a Porygon using explosion,
Does it get that?
i think so so
It doesn’t
It’s a creature that is synthetic tho
Although its origins are synthetic, it’s an organic life form with feelings. It probably has mild cybernetic properties (RKS) but it’s still a creature
Every machine needs an auto destruction mechanism
That awkward moment you learn that your edgy teens dog randomly exploded
