I think our entire cultural way of thinking and our values is based on the fact that we are aware that we are all going to die so while you might not use that knowledge of death to change your thoughts and values those thoughts and values you have are already built around the that. thats just my opinion though and tell me if that doesn't make sense | ||

I mean we need death to appreciate the presciousness of life but if we were immortal the fleetingness and preciousness of life wouldn't even apply so I think we'd find ways to appreciate it in other ways. although I supposed eventually one would probably get brored of it. Also its kinda hard to compare mortal beings with immortal beings because obviously the entire idea of life is completely different between the two and one of course is purely theoretical. the thing to point out though was if everyone was immortal then you'd still be able to relate to everyone. how nihilistic it would be is something I have no idea of it, it would at least be much less focused on time and urgency though I think. Either way it would suck to either be a mortal being in a world of immortal beings or an immortal being in a world of mortal beings I might have dfrifted a little too far into philosophical musings. | ||

To rephrase it, maybe I think if it as a proper counterbalance to life. I guess I am coming from a perspective where many of my friends seem to be scared of death and I seem to be one of the few who, although I don't want to die quite yet, I am more than comfortable approaching the topic. I think it is something that more people should be less scared of, as I believe that fear often times takes away or distracts them from the life they are living. I guess saying life without death would be meaningless was a bit too strong, but I think life has far more meaning with death. Then again, I know nothing of an immortal life. | ||

If everyone was immortal, the concept of living would be meaningless because there is no alternative. That's such a bullshit excuse imo, that's for people who can't determine purpose for themselves. that being said, most people are idiots, so that probably applies to them. | ||

You fool, Flashman in the house and I'm breakin' the rules. No fair, frozen in the air. Time's on my side, no time to spare. 'Bout to shoot these metal blades straight in ta' face, put all Wily's robots in their place. Leave you there so long you rust. When I'm done here all that'll be left is dust. My time to shine cuz I'm better than most - a trend setter in a blue suit, you're toast! Ummm, I got a blue suit to, at least I'm not as silly as you. I'm gonna throw this metal blade and cut a hole in your ass. I think I'll have my dog Rush take a picture of that - DEAD. + Show Spoiler + This probably doesn't help you at all, but I know Megaman cheers you up At least link the song lol it's good enough that it's always worth linking! On May 13 2015 00:47 Sufficiency wrote: I am having so much trouble with Battle Maison on X/Y. I've failed twice on Super Single already; once on 36th trainer and once on 43th. + Show Spoiler + Any critique for my team? 1. Kangaskhan - Kangaskhanite. Jolly nature. Return/Fake Out/Power-up Punch/Sucker Punch. 2. Talonflame - Sharp Beak. Adamant nature. Great Gale ability. Brave Bird/Flare Blitz/U-Turn/Roost Talonflame is mostly there to switch into a fighting type that Mega-Kangaskhan cannot handle. 3. Undecided at the moment. I used to run a very tanky and defensive Vaporeon with Toxic and Scald. But I realized having two Pokemon with weakness to Eletric is a bad idea and I have a lot of problems against fast Eletric Pokemon with Wild Charge/Thunder that can also outrun my Mega-Kangaskhan. I am currently considering: - Aegislash. It's a ghost type and can fairly easily switch into a fighting move. Aegislash has no recovery move though. - Clefable. Fairy type resists fighting which is a plus. Cosmic Power + Stored Power sounds decent on paper. - Garchomp (with the +speed choice). Check Electric types with ease. Not sure about the 4x weakness against Ice though. Also it's not that fast and might run into other issues. I am not a big fan of PuP on M-Kang for Battle Maison. M-Kang's job is to come in and hit like a truck, not try and cheese stat boosts. I personally also dislike Talonflame in the Maison personally because your movepool is so shallow and you don't have the Gems from Gen V to cheese wins. I've personally felt that having coverage moves is just so much more important in the Maison cause this isn't online where you have a full team of 6. Vaporeon is pretty underwhelming. If you want a bulky water type to play against AI hax then Suicune is still the King but your team isn't built around hax prevention in the first place. And if you're only going for 50 wins then you really shouldn't be worried about hax I feel like? The hax doesn't really ramp up until like 100+ wins. Clefable is a stall Pokemon or bulky offense. Except again it doesn't go with HO stuff. So just as awkward as Vaporeon. Here's the team I've used to get the Singles Trophy multiple times. It's a very straight forward HO team that doesn't take much thinking to use. Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite Trait: Scrappy EVs: 252 Att / 252 Spd / 4 HP Jolly Nature (+Spd, - SpA) - Fake Out - Sucker Punch - Earthquake/Crunch - Double-Edge/Return + Show Spoiler + Double priority is OP in Battle Maison because the AI is really predictable so you can cheese wins easily. DE vs Return is a preference thing. Both are fine. EQ/Crunch is for coverage and both are reasonable moves to have. M-Kang's job is to Turn 1 Fake Out -> Mega Evolve into laying the smackdown on people. There are some Ghost Pokemon that wall you though badly depending on your move set though. In that case you Fake Out with Scrappy for the free damage and then swap out. Generally not a huge problem though. Gengar @ Focus Band Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 4 HP Timid Nature (+Spd, - Atk) - Shadow Ball - Thunder Bolt - Sludge Bomb / HP Ice - Destiny Bond + Show Spoiler + Gengar is a suicide nuke. It has a lot of free switch-ins which is great and it's a good way of preserving M-Kang which also refreshes the Fake Out. Gengar's job is to trade at least 1-for-1 thanks to Destiny Bond and should be able to do so since it outspeeds nearly everying in the Battle Maison. HP Ice gives you the tasty BoltBeam coverage but STAB Sludge Bomb is fine too. Garchomp @ Choice Scarf Trait: Rough Skin EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SpA) - Earthquake - Outrage - Iron Head / Poison Jab / Dragon Claw / Brick Break / Flamethrower / Shadow Claw - Iron Head / Poison Jab / Dragon Claw / Brick Break / Flamethrower / Shadow Claw + Show Spoiler + Your "Oh Shit" insurance policy when everything goes wrong. Stacking your team with even more immunities for free switches is also great. Choice Scarf should guarantee outspeed on basically everything. Choose whatever filler move you care about but 90% of the time they won't matter. It comes in and cleans up. Never use Stone Miss in the Battle Maison. It's a very straighforward set. Not much else to say. Other acceptable substitutes (heh) if you have a really strong attachment to certain Pokemon are: Dragonite @ Lum Berry Trait: Multiscale EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SpD - Dragon Dance - Outrage - Earthquake - Roost + Show Spoiler + Standard DDnite lead that you should be familair with if you played Gen V. Greninja @ Choice Specs / Life Orb / Focus Sash Ability: Protean Nature: Timid EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Def - Dark Pulse - Ice Beam - Grass Knot - Surf + Show Spoiler + Does this even need explaining? Cloyster @ Focus Sash Ability: Skill Link Nature: Adamant 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP - Shell Smash - Icicle Spear - Rock Blast / Protect / Surf / Explosion - Rock Blast / Protect / Surf / Explosion + Show Spoiler + Standard Cloyster. Choose whatever filler moves you find the most hilarious. Unless you're going for insanely huge streaks the Maison is pretty straight-forward tbh. Choose simple teams with a straightforward game plan to execute and pummel the AI relentlessly. HO is always the easiest because each match is over really fast (which is important if you're trying to do it all in one sitting and get bored beating up AI trainers lol) so if you basically good Pokemon with sensible EVs/Moves you'll be fine. Like, my Garchomp was Naive rather than Jolly and had the -SpD and all physical moves so it wasn't 100% optimal but it was still fine. And I mean, if all else fails just use the broken as fk Durant + literally anything team. Classic is of course Gen V style Whimsicott / Durant / Set-up Sweeper with Protect. Everyone should be able to get to 50 wins with that team. | ||
