Dominator can take my place if he wants.

Cool. Maybe now things will be stable for a while, but knowing Reborn... yeah. Grats new suckers auth!

Took me long enough, but I finally got my first penta in a normal game! I am so happy.

Better go find my snag machine.

Voted Friday/Saturday/Sunday cuz I'm expecting a job interview and it's less likely to happen on those days. IGN is Banana Shoes.

No matter how you look at it, Swagger IS completely luck based, there is absolutely NO skill involved with that move. I don't care how much you want to delude yourself in thinking otherwise. It does not take skill to predict a switch with Swagger, because that is gonna happen since you're spamming the move.(not to mention that prediction isn't a skill, it's more based on experience with the game). It is a 50/50 chance for the opponent to hit themselves, that's how confusion works. Moving on. Luck has no counter, none. You cannot say you can counter a 50/50 chance. You can prevent the move with things like Magic Bounce and Own Tempo, but that's not countering luck, that's countering Swagger. We're getting that confused. It is a luck abusing move, not luck itself. If it lands you can't do anything but hope you are the lucky one.(With the exception of Own Tempo). Regarding your edit: 10% miss chance is not a lot, so it missing would be unlucky for the user, and lucky for the opponent. Which means it would still take luck to avoid confusion. The 50/50 only applies when Swagger hits and confuses the target. So yes, it's always 50/50. Any physical OU ground type(and some that are not ground types) can OHKO Klefki without +2, and common knowledge would tell you to bring in something that can hit back with SE damage. What you're forgetting is that thing also has Substitute and can just spam that until you hit yourself. Anyway. Despite all that, Swagger by itself wouldn't be bad. A lot of people here use Klefki as their example, and while I tried to avoid that, it is the the main reason. There are many factors in why Prankster+Swagger wasn't a thing in 5th. Weather is the biggest, namely Sand. If Sableye(which was the only good Prankster then) was used, it had Will-O-Wisp to support the team. The reason was for things like Excadrill, Landorus, Tyranitar, etc. Will-O-Wisp, as you can imagine, would completely contradict the point of Swagger. So it was not used. Now that weather has been nerfed and we have another good Prankster Pokemon(with great typing I might add) you can see its rise in popularity. As I mentioned above, Swagger by itself wouldn't be bad. So, I believe that if we do have a ban, it should be a complex ban, banning Prankster+Swagger. Klefki will still have use, as will Sableye, and even Whimsicott. Anyone that still wants to use Swagger still can, and it will be easier to deal with. Voting has started. What we should focus on is how we'll go about banning if the votes lean towards a ban. As for Baton Pass, I've only seen it from Slant and DD. It was seen last gen too. I don't have much to say on that one, and voting has started anyway, so it hardly matters now.

People switch out their Megas all the time. Mega Scizor, Mega Venusaur, and Mega Charizard Y are just a few examples. Unless it's a set up sweeper Mega, there is no reason to stay in 100% of the time, and even with those you'd be stupid to set up against something that walls it and can be severely hurt back or even rendered useless by status.The presence of Mega Sceptile alone makes Pokemon like Rotom-W completely useless. So it will have some impact on the metagame. It's hard to say how good it will be without base stats, but we can expect a speed and special attack boost at the very least. However, I feel like Swampert got the worst of it. Swift Swim is practically useless since the weather nerf, and Swampert isn't exactly fast either. So unless they give more Pokemon Drizzle, or tweak weather again, it's a fairly poor ability for a tanky Pokemon to have. That being said, it looks badass and I will still use one. I can't say much on Mega Diancie, and I honestly don't care about it. Moving on. Prehistoric Groudon and Kyogre look interesting. I'm assuming they will act like Kyurem-B and Kyurem-W in terms of formes. What's really crucial is if they get weaker since those formes are a "Devolution" or if they are stronger in those formes. I can see either being the case. Truthfully, I want to lean towards them being weaker. If they are weakened enough, it may be possible for those formes to see use in OU, but I believe it will be very unlikely. Oh well, only time will tell. I'm still on this hype train. Side note: I really like how Brendan and May look.

Don't tell me what to do. :I Anyway, welcome. Keep that boy in line.

HostGator was about that bullshit. Glad you dumped them. Hopefully the site will be stable for a very long time now.

Your move, Ikaru.

No. Don't you fail me again, Ikaru. :I

Nope Ikaru

I'd be willing to bet that Charlotte would give a decent fire tm. Hopefully Flamethrower. I mean, she's most likely gonna be one of the last leaders you fight. So it makes sense for her to give a good TM. So unless we get Flamethrower before battling Charlotte, I think it's safe to say that that will be the TM she gives. Ame wants the game to be challenging, sure, but at this point in the game good moves should start to gradually roll in. Ame's sadistic, but she's not sadistic enough to give you Flame Charge so late in the game. Besides, I imagine Charlotte will be a doubles or triples battle similar to how she battles on PO. So you can expect a hard battle worthy of a TM like Flamethrower. As for other gyms. I'd agree with Power Up Punch being the fighting gyms TM. That or Drain Punch. Amaria will probably give Water Pulse, and Titania will probably give something like Flash Cannon, most likely some non damaging move though. Bulldoze is almost assured for Terra, but we could get EQ depending on how late in the game it is when we fight her. It's a slim chance, though. I don't think there will be much debate on what Saphira will give. I mean, Dragon Claw seems obvious.

You're one day closer to dying! I mean, Happy Birthday. Yeah... "happy". Now where did I put that shotgun...

Mega Dragonite Type: Dragon/Fairy Ability: Multiscale Old stats: 91/134/95/100/100/80 New stats: 91/164/105/120/105/115 Basically, the point of this is to make Dragonite a very feared set up sweeper. The most notable stat increase will be in its speed. Dragonite had two flaws, Dragon/Flying typing leaving it 4x weak to ice, and its low speed. So upon mega evolving Dragonite gains Fairy typing and a significant speed increase. To clarify, I increased attack by 30, defense by 10, special attack by 20, special defense by 5, and speed by 35.

Blue Exorcist(Or Ao No Exorcist), HunterxHunter, Gurren Lagann, and Soul Eater to name a few. I'd recommend you read the manga of Soul Eater over the anime, but both are good imo. Blue Exorcist is worth both watching and reading, and as for HunterxHunter, just stick with the anime.

I beat regular league and made my X-league card. And while I'm at it. Give me the one for snagging SotD! http://prntscr.com/3bgbz5

SOON

http://prntscr.com/3a3sm1 Make a leader say something you wouldn't expect them to/whatever it is called. I put a red box around what Samson said.

I decided it was time to try to get out of bronze 5 again since I've played a few more games. That and it has been ages since I last attempted it. So, this was my first ranked game in forever! I think I did alright. What better way to start the climb again than to put arrows in asses as Varus.
