  2. For the inevitable Switch Gen 4 remakes, here are some Megas I’d like.

    Mega Starters – Empoleon would gain a large metallic anchor and be covered by parts of metal, Infernape would be engfuled even more in flames and his eyes would turn bright red, and Torterra would gain sprouting roots all over and exploding trees and bushes all around.

    – Mega Lickylicky – Lickylicky’s tongue would expand all around and would carry Lickylicky around. It’d become a Normal-Psychic.

    – Mega Porygon-Z; it’d become flashy and parts of it “glitching” around. It’d have electricity shooting throughout as well as it having a blue glow resembling something downloading.

    – Mega Roserade – Its roses would bloom into two large shield-like rose bushes and its hair would explode into a spiky rose. It’d get a black mask and be covered with spiky vines.

    – Mega Mamoswine – Its tusks would be covered by sharp icicles, and its fur turning a bright white. Its feet would also become icicle-like and it’d have two dark eyes. It’d become Ice-Dark.

    • Someone should make a parody of it as “Koko” and about Hau going to the Tapu-world to find his dead mother and father, and gain the trust and power of the legendary Tapu Koko.

      • I AM, I WORKED SO FREAKING HARD TO ONLY TO HAVE THAT ONE FLEETING MOMENT WHERE IM NOT A COMPLETE FAILURE JUST TO HAVE IT TAKEN AWAY, HOW COULD I POSSIBLY NOT FEEL ANYTHING BUT TOTAL DESPAIR

          • Tell that to the four entire days I devoted to trying to beat it, just to get back at him for throwing my words back in my face making me feel like a failure, it’s not like I got a whole effing lot in the confidence department, I honestly feel like hitting myself or cutting myself at this point because things just do not get better for me at all, just an endless slew of feeling like a complete failure

            But why should anyone care, it’s not their problem and most people don’t give a crap about anything, just adding to the feeling that anything I do will be worthless

        • I think you need to take a step back and devote some time into less competitive activities. You will never be the best at anything, but you should always be improving to be the best YOU can be.

          I honestly think when you get into this competitive mode where you try to be better than everyone else at something, your failure just hurts hard. Just try to avoid those things and instead just do things that revolve around your own skill and no one else’s

          • its just fancy talk for “you suck and you can’t prosper so give up, you won’t be better than anyone”

            I need to be better, it’s the only time that I don’t consider myself a gigantic waste of flesh and carbon

            I hate literally everything about myself, how I look, how I feel and how I speak and how I act upon this world, I’ve honestly considering driving away until was so lost I’d starve and die, or just lock myself away until my inevitable heart attack hits me and with my super obesity it’s guaranteed

            It’s either I be better than my peers or just live a life of senseless existence

          • Fam I’m an artist. My entire life revolves around turning my terrible artwork less terrible until it’s eventually good enough. I had to learn quickly that I will never be the best. There will always be people better than me. The artists I admire and look up to have people better than them. That doesn’t mean that those artists suck. Quite the opposite.

            Being the best in the world is an impossible goal for nearly anything in life. What you want to do is strive to be the best YOU can be. I’m only just now beginning to get my art to a place where I feel happy with it. Improvement takes a long time. And if your goal is to be better than the rest of the world, that improvement becomes harder and harder to see and you just become more and more frustrated

            I’m just using art as an example because thats what I do but this applies to anything you do.

            The trick is this. If you give up, you’re never going to see yourself and your skills get better. If I just stopped drawing a year ago, I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am now. And I could’ve stopped. Because improving my art and my mental health isn’t an easy thing. But I think I’d rather work through it and end up with something than give up and have nothing

          • No, I just don’t see myself improving, you’ve known me for years an nearly every day of that you’ve heard my yell my head off over countless losses due to my iconic bad luck or overall horribleness, I’m just unlucky and overall failure, I try and try and try and never get anywhere and even when I do, it gets 1upped and I’m back to square one.

            I rather off myself because clearly I’m not making headway with any departments, I’ve long accepted I will die alone and unhappy

          • You’re not alone as long as you have us. And though it may seem hard to improve, it’s never impossible, no matter what you think. Even if you do get 1-upped, it should give you more motivation to better yourself instead of moping like this.

          • Actually..? I’ve seen you become a much better person. You are much more chill than you were a year ago. You have your moments but for the most part you’ve been great.

            Again, improvement is hard. Sometimes it’s slow and you can’t really see it.

            IMO you need to cut out or cut down on the things that make you angry. You need to muster up your will power to avoid competitive battling especially when you see a losing streak coming. Do something with low stakes. Draw a silly comic, replay an old game you love, watch a new movie or TV show, go to the park. Something.

            Clearing your mind of the frustration will also help you when you return to what made you angry. You have a fresh perspective and you can see the bigger picture.

            And it can be extremely hard to do this. Especially if it’s something you’ve done for years. You will be the better for it. Life is going to suck if you are putting yourself through things that make you unhappy.

            I want to see you continue to improve yourself like I’ve seen these past few months. You are genuinely a really cool guy. Don’t let the games you’ve lost get in the way of that

          • But competition and anger is my lifeblood
            My sole reason I work myself into the ground is to prove to everyone I don’t suck, but I never get that moment, and even if I do it barely lasts half a day, and all my favorite “activities” just translate into me doing them alone or living in the past, since nobody ever hangs out or even talks to me in my household nor I have any physical friends, but I just remind myself I don’t belong with people or belong anywhere,

          • I honestly have to say your probably better than all of us at battling competitively

            Casc. may outsmart us by giving typically useless Pokémon a chance, but you pour your heart and soul into a battle and usually come out on top

            For someone who doesn’t use Legendaries you definetly are in the top tier best battlers out of anywhere I’ve seen

          • So you do competitive activities to prove that you are worthy as a person? In that case I think your biggest issue is confidence. I think that’s something you can work on.

            I’ve found that once you know a problem and you can attach a name to that problem, you have an angle to attack it from. That’s basically what dysphoria is and was for me.

            I’m still improving at this too so my biggest advice is

            1. Count your victories, and consider failiures as an oppertunity to learn. Don’t dwell on defeat

            2. Just tell yourself you’re awesome. Even if you don’t think you believe it, just say it. Every morning. Everytime you see a mirror. If you say something enough times, eventually you will believe it. So use that power for good.

            3. Don’t worry about other’s thoughts. Easier said than done I know, but other people can crush our confidence. We’re social animals so we want to be liked by others. If we don’t feel that then it hurts confidence. It’s best just to focus on you and the things that make you feel good. A lot of people think a lot of things about me. But why should I care? They don’t know me. This isn’t a switch you can flip instantly but it’s something to try to think about when you start worrying about what others think

            4. Try to always find something to look forward to. It can be a game, a holiday, an event, just something.

            5. It’s ok to not feel ok. It’s ok to have days where you just want to lay on the couch and be sad and watch youtube videos. It’s healthy to let emotions out. If you let it out rather than bottle it up, you will be better and stronger afterwards

            6. Be healthy. (I’m bad at this) get consistent sleep, eat well, go for walks sometimes. If your body is healthy, your mind will be too.

            Thats my advice anyways. This stuff takes time. It takes being proactive and it takes willpower. But think of it as a strategy to fight a problem. These are things you can do to begin slowly winning the fight against the things that you struggle with. And I know you’ve had lots of experiences already with therapists, but don’t be scared to ask for help if you need it. These people are paid to help people with their problems. Find the type of person who works for you and be vulnerable.

            I believe in youuuu

          • It’s a worthless endeavor, things never change or improve on my end, hell even in this short time I spilled and broke one of my favorite mugs on the bathroom floor and it was OJ so that’s hell on tiles, I CANT EVEN GET A FREAKING DRINK WITHOUT IT ENDING IN DISASTER

  11. Hmm Earthen I think I know a way to balance your team Use

    Kommo-o
    Amoongus
    M-Aerodactyl
    Beware
    Galvantula
    And Crawdaunt
