  1. I just saw a commercial on tv about tide pods warning to keep it out of reach of children…..how long until they make a commercial warning about dumb teens and adults eating them lol

    • Disadvantages of advancing in healthcare: we are getting to a point where natural selection will no longer work for human beings. Maybe, we are at that point actually. That means some portion is getting more and more stupid; and some portion is getting more advanced in terms of intelligence. It brings us wider gaps in each passing day.

  2. Jesus f*cking christ. Stupid skarmory summoned by togedemaru took out my boldore…which I purposely chose not to evolve because I was worried it would be overpowered. This isn’t fair. I used iron defense TWICE and damn critical hits get me every time. I was over half health. F*ck this sh*t

  3. So I just found out that the starters in blaze black and volt white can start out with special abilities.
    Snivy- contrary becomes grass/dragon
    Oshawott- vital spirit becomes water/fighting
    Tepig – adaptability becomes fire/ground

    Well this is going to make soft resetting a huge pain because I want a beneficial nature since these games are more challenging. Right now I am leaning towards snivy or tepig for my starter. I am planning to also use all unova Pokémon that I have never used before apart from my starter.

    Some that come to mind are Swanna, volcarona, hydreigon musharna mienshao and lilligant

    All that said I am going to bed and will do this all later. Maybe I will be able to decide my starter soon
