Are you a really Night and Day person? I always seem to sleep in the afternoon, mainly, and wen I have to leave for school is often wen I start to feel like I can fall asleep. I'm getting a little better at sleeping at night like people are "supposed" room but, all the same, death to the Circadian Rythm lol
I am not a fan of afternoons but fortunately that's when I have my classes so I can fill the time with that.
I can understand that's however this implies you got the mega stone in game after you looked up TTar's mega evi(or just mega evos of the whole,) online. Why'd you ruin the surprise? :P Then again I think I did too, tho only for Megas, want gameplay to b a surprise.
It was pretty hard to avoid spoilers as a regular Smogon user at the time. Not that I ever cared about spoilers in regards to Pokemon, that's what gets us hyped for the games anyhow.
That seems like a really good idea. If you've seen my replay from the tourney, you'd kno that that's very similar to what beat me. Coffee for days. TTar is pretty slow, and can't really afford to try being a tank cuz of that gross typing, I think. Aiming to utilize that slowness and capitalize on its power seems really smart. And it also under speeds min Spe Aegi in TR to hit Blade form, which is nice if you're able to live an attack.
Cool, I actually didn't know that about Aegislash. Even on Quiet?
I can be super lazy, which I guess makes me procrastinate(more just not do stuff,) but I'm guessing that ain't your reason. I mean, lazy Aisian is basically an oxymoron XD. So what kinda stuff do you do wen you're procrastinating. And Digimon Dusk XD. We have more stuff to talk about lol. I've played that game so much lol. Gameplay is kinda sucky, but Digimon tho. If the games were better they might surpass Pokemon cuz Digimon are cooler. If you've seen the show, imagine how Angewomon says her name. Then compare that to Goomy's cry. Kinda says it all right there. Lemme know if you wanna trade, ordered Dawn online and it haves lotsa exclusive mons Dusk wants. I just wish the bulk of Digimon games weren't Japanese or on one of the Playstations, cuz I never bought one.
Lol nice, cool to see more people into Digimon. I dunno why it's gotta be a rivalry or whatever, but oh well. I like both Star Wars and Star Trek too, lol. Yeah it is unfortunate that most of the games were on Playstation and stuff, I only really get Nintendo. Digimon games have pretty bad mechanics in general but I get over it just so I can use my favorite Digimon. I gotta say the Digivolution mechanics were cool though even if they were too complicated.
Anyway I'm pretty sure we can't trade because DS Wi-Fi is kill. But I started the game over anyway so yeah. Put like my three most valuable Digimon on my brother's Dawn game though lol.
Not sure about Digimon ever being bigger than Pokemon because it doesn't have as much crossover appeal, IMO. Like there are cute Digimon and all, but it's not quite Pikachu level of fame. And it kind of missed its window. It's hard for new things to enter the market at this point, just look at Yo-Kai Watch outside of Japan. Pokemon just came in at the right time before the internet was a thing and managed to keep its hold on the market since then. Digimon had its chance and went away. But there's nothing wrong with that because I'm fine with just having great anime series, I don't need it to be a huge multi-media empire like Pokemon.
Although I think it's funny that there were so many religious objections to Pokemon for peripherally-religious connotations whereas there was barely any stink about Digimon despite the fact that it overtly uses religious symbolism and characters. I mean, so many Hindu, Shinto, and Christian figures were used as Digimon. I mean they literally had the seven demon lords and a Digimon that was literally Lucifer lol.
I mean I don't have a problem with them making Digimon based off of religious figures despite the fact that I'm a religious person, but just from a sociological standpoint it's kind of funny how Pokemon got all the heat from religious groups whereas Digimon flew right under the radar. Just goes to show how much less of an impact it had than Pokemon.
Or you could just relax lol. You sound close enough to perfect p, I don't think you need to feel pressured to do more XD.
Lol, first time someone has called me closed to perfect, thanks lmao. Nah, it's okay though, I do this stuff for fun so I want to do it.
Slow, painful, stalling death, or quick, brutal, and reckless offense?
I go for the reckless offense, #YOLO
Stall is fun when playing against someone you know so you can get the satisfaction of irritating them. But it's super susceptible to hax, so I don't like it that much and it makes my games too long.
I can't stand ketchup. Love mustard.
Receipt with you or in the bag?
In the bag, it's just easier to carry that way.
Favorite Mega Altaria set?
Dunno, I actually have never used it. Probably Calm Mind Hyper Voice though.
Not familiar with Skyrim (if it even is, I just googled it) but I like the word Imperial so I'll go with that.
In what way? I like Char-X's design more but I use Char-Y more on the ladder, it fits my teams better in general.
Blondes or ginger babes? God help you if pick the wrong one
I like both but I'll go with blonde.
Favorite Battle Spot metagame and yyyyyyy?
Probably Singles because it's just the one I've played the most. And it's the one I'm best at.
-What is one Mega that you consider criminally underrated in BS?
Probably Mega Lopunny. I always lose to it but nobody really talks about it much.
-Do you think there should be more "basic" evolutions for older Pokemon in future generations, or do you think Megas are a better way to breathe new life to older Pokemon species (don't forget about Eviolite)?
Definitely think there should be more basic evolutions for Pokemon but I'm not opposed to stuff like Absol and Aerodactyl getting Megas because I feel like they were Pokemon who were going to stick with one form anyway.
-To add on to Q2, which Pokemon would you like to see with a new evolution/Mega in the future, and why?
Flygon, obviously. Reasons don't need to be said. As for regular evolutions, I don't think any need one right now. I think it's too many generations past now to make evolutions for older Pokemon.
-Have you played any of VGC 16? What's your opinion on the meta?
Haven't played it. It seems interesting but also somewhat overcentralizing.
-Opinion on Fire Emblem Fates?
It looked bad so I didn't buy it
-Is Lucina still your waifu?
Yes
-You mentioned you were into figure collecting. Which figures in particular are you collecting?
Lucina (see above), Alphamon, Teen Gohan, Charizard-X, Kylo Ren, Mewtwo, just to name a few.
I don't really stick to one series because I'd rather buy stuff from all the different things I like. When I started in November, I didn't really know what to collect so I just kinda got whatever, mostly miniatures. But now as I've been doing it for a little longer, I've decided what I'm really into are 6-inch articulated figures. So I mostly collect S.H. Figuarts because they are pretty much the best (at a relatively affordable price) in that area.
-I know I've been dead for the past few months, but y u no stalk me anymore? .-.
I've moved on to other people to stalk. Sorry baby, I didn't know you cared :(
I have a few more questions.
I loved dinosaurs growing up too and I especially loved the Jurassic Park movies. Did you enjoy the franchise as well and if so, which one is your favorite?
Yep, Jurassic Park was my absolute favorite movie as a kid. It's not my favorite anymore, but it's in my top 10 for sure. The other three are fine, in my opinion. I used to think The Lost World was as good as the original, but rewatching it as an adult I realize there are a ton of problems and characters making absolutely insanely stupid decisions. Except Roland, he is cool as hell and saves the movie.
Jurassic World to me was kind of the like the Pokemon XY of the series. In that I was not hyped for it at all and only saw it because I felt like as a Jurassic Park fan I just had to see every movie. But it pleasantly surprised me. It had a lot of problems but it was overall an extremely fun movie. I knew there was no way it was gonna be as good as the first movie, because the last two sequels were not as good.
I think it is just not possible to have a sequel as good as the first, because the first movie was science-fiction thriller about chaos and responsibilities of science that used dinosaurs killing people to tell that. Whereas the remaining movies were just pure thriller about dinosaurs killing people without the strong overarching theme of the first movie. Like there was absolutely no way there would ever be another park, but I just excused it because you kinda have to overlook that for the movie to even exist.
Do you think any pokemon should be banned from BSS or maybe do you want there to be some clauses similar to the Smogon formats? If so, which pokemon or which clauses?
Klefki maybe, and maybe Kangaskhan. And maybe add OHKO clause. That's about it maybe, I'm not so much of a complainer. There are a lot of Pokemon that are too overcentralizing but whatever, the metagame has kinda been built around them so it's kind of fragile to change things without changing the meta completely.
Do you think we will ever see someone outside Japan finish top 10 on the ladder?
Now that Jibaku and MythTrainerInfinity are gone, I don't think so. Our community is starting to focus a little more on PS and each other than the ladder like it was originally too, so I don't know. Maybe if we start a program to try to do that.
YOUR FUCKING ALIVE I SWEAR TO GOD I AM GOING TO HUMP YOU TO DEATH XENO.
And why did I forget to ask your first question in my post. Oh well. I thought of other shit to add anyway:
Opinion on Stealth Rocks? Overcentralizing in the OU metagame? Is it even worth running in BSS? Is shit like Volcarona or Scyther viable at all in BSS' lower SR usage?
Volcarona is very good. No real reason to use Scyther over Scizor though. I do think Stealth Rock is overcentralizing in the OU meta, but I'm not an OU player so I won't act like I really know what taking Stealth Rock out will mean for it.
Sometimes worth running in Battle Spot Singles if you just happen to use a Pokemon that has it, like Skarmory or something. But not something you need to think about giving a dedicated slot to.
Care-a-mel. Fun fact I named my character Caramel in SoulSilver. In Alpha Sapphire I shortened it to Cara but I kinda regret it because I think people will think it is a reference to Cara Delevingne when it is in fact a reference to the Caramelldansen
Will I ever achieve 1700 on a BS ladder?
On the 3DS? Sure, it's not outside the realm of possibility. I don't know how good you are though, so I really wouldn't be able to say. It's really up to how many games you play. If you look at the highest ranked players, they have something like 300 wins 200 losses, so it's really more up to how many games you play while keeping a good W/L ratio.
What are some Smogon tiers that you prefer to play aside from battle spot?
None really. Like in my earlier post, thinking in a 6v6 mindset is just something that I can't really do. I did play ORAS UU with Brobat the other day, and it was fun. Replay here:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-350220595
In Battle Spot, Which pokemon do you despise the most when playing someone?
Klefki, Glalie, Gliscor. All those haxy substitute-using Pokemon really. Also Umbreon and Venusaur as I said earlier.
What's your favorite music to listen to when playing Pokemon or in general?
I don't actually listen to music while I play, I usually listen to videos of people talking like Nostalgia Critic or something. As for music I listen to, I listen to a bit of everything. Yeah I know that's a cliche answer but it's true. When it comes to American music I am mostly into older stuff, anything from 60's to 2000's, not really a fan of 2010's stuff tbh. Some of it I listen to ironically though, like a lot of punk music. You probably picked up on that with my whole "fuck the government" act I've been doing lately. Nowadays I listen to mostly videogame and anime music though...lol, not a weeb though. I am into Jazz too but funnily enough just by coincidence most of my favorite Jazz artists are also Japanese. I sometimes like to joke around that the only bands I listen to are Japanese all-girl Jazz groups...I am just coincidentally into a lot of those.
Can you give me some tips on how I can get a good sig like yours??
Steal them. Not even kidding. I do "steal" a lot of material and make it my own based on context. So I wouldn't say I'm a hack but you can find a lot of inspiration from a lot of places. There's a saying that creativity is not the ability to come up with something new from nothing, but the ability to connect two unrelated things to create something new.
Phew, got these ones done. I'm late for class lol.
