  1. Now if only that pic was big enough so I could read all the cards I don't know. Like the maiden looking things on the middle-left of the second row. Black Luster Soldier and chaos sorcerer OP. I used to run those. I also put in mystic shine balls just cuz I loved the art and cuz I didn't actually have that many light monsters not being used in my other decks or a lot of light monsters in general. I used Night Assassin for Dark fodder and maneater bug effect, not to mention the badass art. Magician of Faith too for Monster Reborn and things.
  2. Legend of Korra season 2 aired last night with the first two episodes. You're welcome.
  3. FFFF, they're onto my trail again! Can't catch me, alien, I'm the gingerbread man!
  4. Brigadier, being a yakuza rank, is almost surely based on the (again) military brigadier rank that precedes it (which reflects the number of troops at his command). So it still doesn't get any extra ninja status from that. And yeah, I know Kero is pretty much the sound a frog makes in Japanese. I was basing my deductions on its English name, moves and descriptions of it leaping high and attacking, like with bounce (jump up high or onto things and then basically dive bombing onto its foe). I'd say the English name Froakie comes from Foam and Croak. So both names come from the sound a frog makes, but the other combined words have different influences. I knew Braixen was a mixture of some word plus vixen, female fox. I wouldn't know the, I guess, French word the first half of the name comes from. *starts looking at the names with more than a passing glance* Fokko, for fennekin, seems obviously Fox (fok) with ko at the end which denotes a child/puppy/kitten/cub/etc. Otoko no ko (boy), onna no ko (girl). Maybe fok has something to do with kindle in japanese, but the Fennekin, would be based on the desert dwelling fennec fox, which boasts the similar narrow face, petite body shape/size, and oversized ears. And kin of course is kin, so it's like Fox-kin or fox-relative/family. I think chespin's final evolution will turn out tanky and actually look pretty decent, despite its second evo, but he was never a serious option for me as a starter anyways. I think fennekin's final evo with grow taller, and more upright, flesh out a bit more, and gain a staff and probably look like a foxy version of Anubis. But without the collar and crown things.
  5. The first time I played brawl at the opening night tourney, I could feel the difference. It felt like so much lag. And it didn't help that I was playing as Ike. And after mastering as much of Brawl as I had, playing Melee is a huge leap in speed. Which brings up how much I'm against wave-dashing as an exploit, which Brawl did away with. Without wave dashing, the vast difference in tiers within Melee would mostly disappear. If metaknight is the one character that breaks the Brawl competition meta, Wave Dash is the thing that breaks the Melee meta into a select few characters that devolve into a dash-off of very long matches where you watch people constantly dodging each others attacks till someone slips and then it's pretty much kill combo time. or infinite chain grab time. It's like watching those DBZ episodes where they're constantly vanishing and reappearing, striking through after-image after after-image. Sure, there's those dodgy matches in brawl too, make no mistake about that. But there's a lot more slugfests too, trading blows and racking up that damage percent bit by bit instead of borefest ended by sudden overwhelming combo brokenness.
  6. Mega Blastoise: able to snipe you from 6 miles away. Bad. Ass.

    1. Godot

      Godot

      Boom! Head Shot!

  7. Quillidan . Quill + palladin. so there may be something to the knight thing for him. Dunno what kind of name Braixen is though. wtf. never wanted fennekin, so not my problem. Hadn't really noticed the silly stick till Godot mentioned it. Frogadier. Bombadier. Kain was a dragoon, Godot. But as jumping strikers, they are similar. A bombardier was/is the guy who aims the payload of bombs from airplanes, so the frog may yet get the air typing I mentioned before. That move was almost certainly Bounce. Not so convinced of the frog's ninja's status, but he seems pretty awesome anyways. I knew Benjamin Franklin Frog would pull through for me. =P Can't wait to see Tyrunt's final evolution. Cuz you know, none of the fossil pokemon evolve twice cuz they're prehistoric and predate that development in organisms. Edit: Frogadier attacks by launching small stones wrapped in bubbles. Rock throw + bubblebeam = win. notice that it says Mega Mewtwo X is bigger than its Y counterpart, and the eyes follow standard anime male/female differences. Smaller, sharper eyes for X. larger, wider, shinier eyes for Y. Oh and apparently it gets Giga Impact. http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/
  8. You spelled it right. I know cuz I used that one a couple of pages back too Lament
  9. The japanese have some weird misconceptions about foreigners. And it kinda stands out sometimes in anime and video games. I kinda want to look up that boss/fight you guys are talking about now.
  10. because it can't be arceus straight up, or anything else for that matter If mario and luigi are brothers, then who are the parents?
  11. "With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in...to do all which may achieve and cherish, a just and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all."

  12. Hmm, sounds familiar... We do prefer those with your attitude so we gladly welcome you to Reborn.
  13. Yeah, that's a DA fanart from someone I was following.
  14. Just wanted to make this clear: =/ is my less-than-pleased face
  15. The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

    1. Cowtao

      Cowtao

      The difference?

      Men have cheaper toys. >>;

      Paintball guns, not to mention real ones, cost way more than nerf and water guns.

  17. Well, I suppose now I can see how chespin's evo could go on to be something like a knight, FE style with so much armor they look fat and ungainly. Look at Kellam. It's just such a shame to have some of these pokemon when I've seen a lot of awesome fakemon/fanart that should have become a thing. If we get a mega dragonite, it really needs to look like something a lot closer to dragonair.
  18. Blastoise is a tank. This frog is probably gonna be all speed and special or physical attack, so it wouldn't really hurt to have both of 'em, like I'm planning. Might as well go for rain broke.
