i don't think it's realistic to come to california for a long time.
even with my tax refund ($????.?? i hope), i don't think a visit is in my price range.
this is me trying to talk myself into/out of it.

jr, i watched a video of me and you vs fresno kids in grand finals.
i just picked peach and tried to keep them separated.
interesting to watch with my current mindset.

i played with 4 new guys from pleasanton, and then

i played with tafo, brandon, and bluefoxxt

then i played with level 9's
a true gauntlet.

probably on a platform
guess that means i won't be moving back home after college

though spenser was talking about how he is probably just going to move back and find a job there

i guess a good luck is in order for him

the american dream is to owe money until you're 50 years old.

student loans, car loans, home loans, business loans.
those are loans that "successful" people all depend on to live out their american dream.

i just ranted on and on for like 10 more lines until i decided to delete it because it was all unprovoked and no one cares about my ****ty point of view. hehe i love me.

rofl so

now i realize why i was able to win so much with my earlier teams in BW metagame

cloyster + lilligant + blaziken was the most GODLIKE hyper offense core. all 3 of them can make mad sweeps and cover everything

with the ken ban i was never able to recover

now scizor + rotom + landorus is waaaaaaaaaaay too good

get at my 4th gen stall team. Is rotom viable? He's a bit bulky, but...you just chip away health and rotom does pretty bad damage though his typing + ability is godly.

Do you play heatran? That would be beyond godly in that team comp seeing how scizor attracts fire and landorus can take ground attacks for heatran. I would do choice scarf heatran. Just fire blast ohko / 2hko everything in the game.

the last team I was using was exclusively 4th gen stuff since I don't know what most of the new pokemon are, but I didn't really care either since I won pretty much all my games. Though I need something better to lead since the system is new.

I've been using skarm (with sp def since it only needs HP evs to make it unbreakable on the physical side), blissey, heatran, celebi, suicune (crocune after one CM = GG), CB scizor. The main point of the team is to set down SR and if possible spikes so I can play ring around the rosie afterwards with skarmbliss and heatran and celebi to finish it up with crocune. Scizor pokes really hard and snipes off weakened stuff with BP and uturn. Really solid team though I'm sure I could make a real gen 5 team to rank up

that sounds like a mad gai team

stuff is too powerful to use all NUs in OU now

it kinda makes me sad

but my stallbreaker Machamp would get at that team. Dynamicpunch things, Fire Blast things, Focus Blast other things, Vacuum wave weak things...ahhhhhh who cares about ghosts! Just run another fighting-type and pursuit the **** outta ghosts!

oh

also can't forget about max speed timid reuniclus with hp fire

just for scizor

it's literally a foolproof lure for scizor, it's beautiful

im pretty sure that machamp would get bodied by skarmory, celebi, and crocune. Get at special defence skarmory. Celebi too good.

Spenser did you ever try subpunch explosion hypnosis gengar back in gen 4? Pretty good gimmick

calc time? it's calc time.

Fire Blast / Focus Blast vs. Skarmory: (64.07% - 76.05%), (47.90% - 56.89%)
Fire Blast vs. Celebi: (58.91% - 69.80%)
Focus Blast / Dynamicpunch vs. Crocune: (39.60% - 46.78%), (34.41% - 40.84%)

Dynamicpunch / Focus Blast vs. Blissey: (107.56% - 126.89%), (38.66% - 45.66%)
Dynamicpunch / Focus Blast vs. Heatran: (125.08% - 147.37%), (105.88% - 125.08%)
Dynamicpunch / Focus Blast / Vacuum Wave vs. Scizor: (61.52% - 72.89%), (62.97% - 74.34%), (21.28% - 25.36%)

it's not convincing by any means, but it does certainly mean that Skarmory gets ***** by Fire Blast+Focus Blast while catching your tran as it switches in (and skarm is crippled if it stays in to BB Machamp). And that scizor gets 1hko'ed by fire blast. And 2hko'ed by Focus Blast/Vacuum Wave if it comes in on SR and tries to U-turn away.

THEN HERACROSS. 8D

You're assuming machamp is already out and that I switch into it. Also you would have to be a fool to bring in the last three in against machamp. Also machamp is slower than all of the pokemon(except blissey, I think they both have the same speed or machamp is faster) unless you're running a lot of speed EVs in which case machamp gets wrecked by the top three.

Heracross isn't scary at all, at worst if it's choice scarf or choice band you one for one with heatran giving me a momentum advantage. You would have to play a full team of mixed sweepers with two fighters to really get a solid advantage in typing.

You knew how scary heatran was when I played against you spenser, you pretty much gave me the game against a rain dance team because you never knew when I would fire blast or explode ;)

I would play a ghost but I think ghosts in general are suboptimal in a stall team since they lack reliable bulk and hp recovery.

I think the best wall breaker back in 4th gen was breloom since it pretty much wrecks every stall team without celebi and it outright won games against so many teams. There's probably some really stupid new pokemon that's really good at breaking walls though.

gimmicks are nice to have one of in a team but you need to have like three at hand to change every couple of games to keep it fresh.

my best shoddy battle team of all time was kind of an all gimmick team though sand was the main binding theme. I had shuckle in that team because it walled garchomp and it was a good utility tool overall but scizor really wrecked shuckle's viability later on:(

When I was making my xbox live account name I started out trying gkinfinity but it was surprisingly taken. Then I tried GeeKay, Geckoking, KingofGeckos, and about a million other combinations of random words that semi relate to my normal gamertag but they were all taken. Then I tried Geckoking1, Geckoking2, etc. and they were all taken up to Geckoking8. Are there really that many people who would take the Geckoking gamertag? That's not all either. I'm pretty sure Geckoing9-Geckoking12 were taken too, plus a ton of others with higher numbers on the end.

I ended up using gkinfinity11 lol.
