  7. So many people left Our class last year that this year it was split into 2 groups (5 people each) and put in the 2 other classes (there were 3 classes in before). Today was my first day in Our class and It’s weird. Ok, I guess but weird. Just wanted to share that with you.

  20. Mario+Rabbids is a lot of fun! The gameplay is easy, yet challenging and i love the weapon customization. There’s also a skill tree available per character, which they’ve done really well. I didnt think a Mario RPG could work, but hats off to Ubisoft on a really good game tbf.

  22. WHY IS MY LOVE OF GOLISOPOD SUCH A CURSE
    By now you all know how much Golisopod means to me, lethal movepool and excellent stats that make it such a powerhouse but that freaking fracking Emergency Exit
    I hope they introduce a new held item that nullifies the holder’s ability,
    Imagine the meta change if a held item like that could exist, but that means no leftovers healing but it would be worth it since Golisopod can live through heavy blows (even more so if EE wasn’t a factor) then I could spend my days buffing with SD and siphoning back health and have a way to priority

    But they’re pretty much dead set on making my monstrous sea bug a joke

      • Poor sweet stupid Butter Geek
        No because it’s a total waste of a turn and you’re just gonna let them set up or just murder you when you bring him back out an 75% of any competitive run stealth rock and entry hazards which is bad for it since it will be switched out and the next time you bring it back in it’ll lose 25% on re-entry

        Golisopod is capable of being such a deadly foe if you’re forced to lose your buffs because it can’t deal enough damage on its own if you choose the defensive build (which is beyond amazing)

      • Oh….riiiiight……
        Who cares I want to be to actually fight back

        SO MANY INSTANCES WHERE I SURVIVED A POWERFUL BLOW AND LEECH LIFE COULDVE HELPED

        The only way they could soften the blow is either make it exit when meeting the 25% health mark or that it can finish its turn before being forced out (unless it sucks back health and nullified the ability)
