Yeah, I blew it by taking Bulbasaur - I really wanted the Charizard X Mega Evo, but I really needed a grass source at the time cuz of Nuzlocke. But it's k, Ivy is a monster anyway. Still have no fire source, but BirdMan takes care of grass well.


My team is actually pretty solid right now, all things said.

Delphox - Venasaur - Pangoro - Dragalge - Aurorus - Carbink

I dunno why I have so many walls, I EV trained my Fennekin level 5, he pretty much just 1 shots everything.


Are you Nuzlocking? Also, I recognize so few of those pokemon lol.

I haven't done any EV training at all.


Yeah.

^_^

I thought it would be nightmareishly hard, but actually, all is better than expected. That being said, I also only like 3 gyms in. Just got my Lucario.

If you're using Exp Share in general it seems like people are ending up horridly overleveled.

It's even easier to level and EV train than BW2. And I thought that was the epitome of easy training with free Lucky Eggs and Join Avenue. It's pretty amazing tbh. Although BW2 was very good for big 0-100% training completion whereas it seems XY so far is about the journey.

Lowering the barrier to competitive level play however is definitely a good thing overall.

Yeah, I think my #1 advice to anyone starting is if they want to retain any semblance of difficulty, turn off Exp Share.

And dont EV train till after the story. I figured I needed to if i ever wanted to use my Fox competetively, but you definitely dont need to because of reset bags.

I hate you all for making me feel bad about not trolling forums while at work & inspiring me to contemplate buying a DS just to play Pokemon Xcom-style. It's like a double whammy. Fortunately getting a working emulator on my phone is enough of a hassle that I can probably resist...

Man, GTA V is the perfect example of how a bad ending can really undermine an otherwise great game. Too spoiled with Bioshock Infinite and Last of Us in terms of endings this year.

I've come back from the gym. The bantering can begin once again.

#RIPReq #FreeReq

Those were some really shit posts from Req and I would have banned him for that too fwiw.

Also Pokemon are not tools. They're super cuddly friends! Yango can attest as to how spoilt my Cinccino is hehe.

In terms of Hearthstone and MtGO, I cannot see Hearthstone in its current state becoming as competitive as MtG has been because the very set up of the game (3 card hands, deck limitations, etc.) means that you have incredibly high variance games. The lack of consistency means that you are far more RNG dependant than, say, MtG because in MtG you can construct your decks to be RNG resistant. I would find it as interesting as watching a Protoss only tournament. That being said, as more cards are introduced into the card pool there is potential. Wizards really bungled with MODO. It may have made them a lot of money no doubt, but splitting money across paper and online is just so hard on budgets.

Still catching up with the TL OT shitposting thread but this sums up the issues I have with Hearthstone atm.
It's fun in short bursts but feels so RNG-y (and going first sucks balls)---I just don't feel the same depth as Magic.

Moonbear can then nickname his pokemin "Plexa" and we'll call my team "roffles"
