You never used Stride? Hoo boy.

It's an E-rank gambit that allows a whole block of your team to move five extra spaces. It makes the game a lot easier to be offensive when you get it, which is fairly early on.
I'll keep that in mind for when I play through one of the other campaigns! (not sure whether I'll go with Golden Deer or Blue Lions next)

Real talk tho:

As absurdly overpowered as g.darmanitan is now, it's 100 percent getting unbanned, if only to check Lando-T.


God, I could have gone a gen without seeing than damn....cat...thing.
I'm pretty sure its against Smogon's tiering policy to unban pokemon just to check another. At that point they may as well just ban Landy-T.

The only way G-Darmanitan gets unbanned is if the pokedex updates include several dependable and viable checks and counters to it.

They've unbanned stuff before.

If they're adding 300 more Pokemon, power creep is going to leave most of current OU in the dust, and at that point, may as well bring it back when you'll have fast threats that can 1-shot it.

G.Darms issue is it 'has' checks, but they're not overtly good at their job to the point they may as well not exist. This will change that, guaranteed.

Pokemon needs to boost some and nerf others. Milktank needs to be more TANK than milk

Two of the ideas for a Pokemon fangame I had we're regional legendary variants and regional starter variants. With how the former is basically confirmed, I wonder about the latter.

I mean, would anyone really complain if both got banned?

Hey, before I go to bed, just wanted to show a little something I just made.
View attachment 256462
See this little guy? Well, while it is a original creation of mine, it's not a OC in the strict sense of the word. Instead, this guy might become my future avatar going forward on various website. Like you see creator online making a complete original character just to use as their avi? That's basically it, because as much as I like the old doctor, I think I need something unique in the future to stand out from the bunch, without having to use my other OC to do the job. So while his design isnt finish, I hope you like it. (also, don't ask me what it's supposed to be. Closest thing I could say is that it's kinda like a spider....ish)

On that said, have a great night, folks.

I'd love Lando-T to get banned, but at the same time, its issue is it's not overpowered, just a ****ing swiss-army knife that is made of titanium alloy.

It can do a bit of everything, and it does it well.

If you ever have a hole in your team, you can just say "And that's where Lando-T goes."


It's a jack of all trades, and a master of most.

Can Nintendo fans go one DLC cycle without comparing it to EA?
Mario Kart 8 DLC was compared to EA, BoTW's was compared to EA, Plant being a preorder bonus was compared to EA, SwSh is being compared to EA, like enough already, get a new comparison.

Just watched Teen Titans Go! to the Movies. I didn't see it in theaters because, well, Teen Titans Go. But this is actually a pretty good movie. It's actually pretty funny and the story is pretty good. I actually regret not seeing this in theaters. It also proves my point that this show would be much better if slade was a main recurring character.

Also, and I never thought I'd say this, but the Teen Titans have really good flow.

Wait a ****ing sec.

If Hidden Power is still gone, Lando-T doesn't have HP Ice anymore.

Oh my god. This... this is the last hurdle.

It would be more EA to continue doing third versions anyway.

Caught up with the Pokémon Direct. I'm so happy to see that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is back. It is a remake of the original which isn't quite the new game everyone would want, but it at least shows that TCPi does still see the value in the subseries and wishes to continue it. I will definitely be picking it up in March, and I look forward to seeing what updates they bring to it.

With the Expansion Pass, I'm glad they finally ditched the Third Versions since that was always an archaic leftover and the DLC route allows everyone to get more value out of their original purchase. As for the content itself, I like the Gigantimax forms they've revealed, Inteleon's probably my favorite of the batch since I love how they took the original concept and brought it up to 11 with the ridiculously long tail and finger gun, but the others are solid as well. The new Galarian forms are also great, and I look forward to seeing what they do with the Legendary Birds since they could use a lore update since they don't really play with the Lugia connection that much.

All in all, it was a pleasantly surprising direct. I didn't go in with too much expectations, but what they shown off was pretty interesting, I look forward to seeing more of the expansion pass as soon as they get the hype cycle going again.

Well at least we have a good few months before his new reign begins. Not looking forward to seeing what tools he'll get from the new TMs and TRs this generation.

I mean, I've definitely got my colorful opinions on today, but I'm not the kinda person who actively vomits all over the ballpit when people are enjoying themselves.

Opinions, they're like asses, everyone has them.

Do these people actually know what EA does or we stuck with the mindset from two decades ago that all DLC is evil?
