[molten oasis]

[timber falcon]

[solid frigate]

[molten oasis]

@bold geode

[spiral pawn]

“It’s Chinese” 😅

[solid frigate]

there is only two Here.

Monke and Keanu

[timber falcon]

i just need to know what your average zama team looks like

[solid frigate]

bro does not know Kanji is originated from Mainland Asia,not Japanese

[timber falcon]

the core, if you will

[balmy glen]

did someone say zama

[solid frigate]

Zama,Peli,Incin mostly

[solid frigate]

i think most of us did

[spiral pawn]

Means: ‘IMPOSSIBLE!’

[molten oasis]

idk if chinese calls it Kanji, as in japanese Kanji is what they called chinese caracters

japanese call it kanji idk if chinese call it that

[solid frigate]

Kanji in Chinese is the same

But we use it fucking everywhere

[balmy glen]

this is the easiest pelipper auto fill of all time

[spiral pawn]

Well check what Google calls it

[timber falcon]

right on time

what do you consider a common zama team?

[molten oasis]

yep, they're called hanzi

[nocturne holly]

😭😭

[molten oasis]

not kanji

[balmy glen]

depends on ur elo

[craggy dagger]

[timber falcon]

mid elo zama team im accounting for rn

[bold geode]

What

[molten oasis]

OTOT wants zama knowledge

[balmy glen]

[bold geode]

1.Zacian @intrpidsword
2. dont matter Zacian sweeps
3. dont matter Zacian sweeps
4. dont matter Zacian sweeps
5. dont matter Zacian sweeps
6. dont matter Zacian sweeps

[molten oasis]

[balmy glen]

u could face me while im making a new alt/team xd

[spiral pawn]

It was in 2021 flashbacks

[balmy glen]

my favorite part abt doing that are the low/mid elo trash talkers who have no clue its me saying I wouldnt bring wtvr niche im using to a real tour

[timber falcon]

hopefully if i do my team is functioning the way i want it to

[solid frigate]

i mean tbf in normal purpose,I would just die if i face you cuz i ain't in that level

[timber falcon]

i think my wincons will be shifu and lando

[molten oasis]

is it worth playing with ky white

literally because im bored lol

like idk if ky white brings anything worthwhile to the table

[solid frigate]

depends if you wanna spam Blizzard for multiple times or just wanna use it cuz it fits the playstyle,Personally,Its not worth it but you idk

[spiral pawn]

もしインセロアーが安全ゴーグルを着けていたとしたら？！え？それでどうなるの？

[molten oasis]

i need to see if it brings anything worthwhile to the table

[timber falcon]

anyone got that japanses balanace lando-i set

[molten oasis]

before playing on the ladder

[timber falcon]

i think thats what it was called

[solid frigate]

i mean you did cook a Dengo Kyurem White Team

[molten oasis]

that team was mid

[solid frigate]

you do have the experience on it

[bold geode]

I might
Don't tempt me

[solid frigate]

thats why use the experience to make it better

holy fu it gets nothing in Setup

[molten oasis]

why does it get sunny day and rain dance lol

[solid frigate]

idk ask GameFreak lmao

[daring pumice]

It has 170 sp atk I sure hope it can’t setup

[molten oasis]

and its okay taht CSR can?

[daring pumice]

Eh ur right

[bold geode]

It gets Sub lol

[daring pumice]

Well csr is like a exemption from every rule ever

[molten oasis]

but thats lame

[solid frigate]

i mean its a Gen 8 DLC Legendary that has Fuse mechanic,so yeah

[molten oasis]

also msot things get sub

[balmy glen]

kyruem white would be so good... if zama wasnt so good

[molten oasis]

ZAMA'S ITS ISSUE???

[solid frigate]

i was legit Suprised

[balmy glen]

I was my friends only loss d2 indie

[bold geode]

WG

[molten oasis]

so it is good

[timber falcon]

Did you mean “is it’s”?

[balmy glen]

he was the kyruem white dude

[solid frigate]

oh wait i see Kyurem White in SWSH more than SVV

[molten oasis]

enough *

[molten oasis]

its viable, snow is good

[balmy glen]

kyruem white is a fine anti meta pick its just hard to build around

[molten oasis]

for it

[balmy glen]

i beg to differ

[molten oasis]

i figured that out playing it early reg

[daring pumice]

Ninetails using hh with specs kyurem white🗿

[balmy glen]

I think snow is the worst weather tbh

[molten oasis]

idk if its worse than sand

[daring pumice]

Sand worse

[balmy glen]

sand is goated

[solid frigate]

meanwhile me using Zygarde:

[molten oasis]

why

[balmy glen]

im only saying that cuz im a ttar fan/ believer xd

[solid frigate]

is it more like Rain>Sun>Snow>Sand>Hail

[molten oasis]

lol

[balmy glen]

ttar should be used more than ninetales tho its actually way better ngl

[molten oasis]

fair enough

well, yea

[balmy glen]

especially in this meta

[molten oasis]

if a9 didn't have a pitiful spA stat it be, a little better

[daring pumice]

Well it’s a shit typing

[balmy glen]

zama ttar went crazy with michael for a reason

[solid frigate]

i mean somehow we saw a Ttar Caly Ice Team

[molten oasis]

michael is also cracked

[solid frigate]

bro is built different

[balmy glen]

i was asking michael why he didnt go on ttar stuff earlier cuz I wanted to do it earlier on

[molten oasis]

eh, if i ran ky white i'd literally be running snow due to a9 being a favorite

[balmy glen]

he figured out to go sash ttar later on tho so solved it

[molten oasis]

i wish a9 had better stats

[balmy glen]

well thats the problem with ky white

u need to run a9

[molten oasis]

yea, it needs a9 and a9 is pretty eh

[daring pumice]

yep and a9 is bad

[solid frigate]

cuz Obamasnow is just suck

[molten oasis]

idk about bad

[solid frigate]

its mid

like mid level i would say

[molten oasis]

ttar is good despite its typing at least

[daring pumice]

It’s pretty bad, it just has 0 offense

[solid frigate]

i did use A9 with Terapagos before

and thanks i hate it

[daring pumice]

It would honestly be very good if it had even like 90 spatk

[molten oasis]

meh

[nocturne holly]

81 is wild 😭😭

[solid frigate]

Lugia:

[molten oasis]

it need a minimum of 100

[daring pumice]

🗿

[nocturne holly]

It doesn’t even have decent bulk

[bold geode]

I wanted to go TTar at start of Reg but got shit for it

[molten oasis]

actually

with snow its deceptively pretty bulky

[balmy glen]

i mean u couldnt run it the normal way with av so

[molten oasis]

not bulky enough infront of a restricted but, enough for other things

[balmy glen]

av tar isnt possible this reg

[solid frigate]

Pair with Incin and you make A9 a fucking tank

[molten oasis]

and yea issue with snow being you need to get a9 to work the best it can

[bold geode]

Y no AV

[molten oasis]

which is pretty hard

[molten oasis]

was your friend running a9?

[bold geode]

Yeah cuz everything is slower lol

[spiral pawn]

預言を完成させるために必要なことは何でもして、私の代わりを務めてください

[molten oasis]

which hurts it more than helps

[solid frigate]

Tornadus can work but its Manual,I like Manual Weathers but like

Its not good when you are not a Semi Weather Team that can still work without The Weather

[molten oasis]

you dont get veil

if you're running snow i feel like you'd want veil

[solid frigate]

and thats the second issue

[molten oasis]

unless you're the snow kyogre team

[bold geode]

Anyways Keanu why no AV TTar

[molten oasis]

why does kyogre have so much random sauce lol

[solid frigate]

AV Kyogre with Wo-Chien,SnowOgre

Is there more that is relevant rn

[molten oasis]

well

its still unorthodox teams

okay well, from keanu's words, issues with kyurem are a9 being weak and zama

that and, its anti meta so, diffucult to make work in general

[nocturne holly]

Why is ttar good this reg

[balmy glen]

your already weak to koraidon with zama

[solid frigate]

i mean Anti Meta is something need high skill level to work and also

Somehow Dawn Wings just have the same sauce

[balmy glen]

your just making it worse at that point

[daring pumice]

Tera ground earth power on kyurem white for zama mu?

[balmy glen]

having ur weather switch in get tapped is crazy

[molten oasis]

no i'd be running something else

[solid frigate]

Tera Fire for Fusion Flare

[molten oasis]

like, maybe dengo but idk about dengo

[bold geode]

True

[solid frigate]

Dengo is truly worse than before

Again Power levels man

[molten oasis]

i also without trying boost CIR

[bold geode]

Dengo is cracked tf

[molten oasis]

which, isnt a good thing

[molten oasis]

dengo is used if your zama mu sucks

i really dont see it otherwise

[solid frigate]

the problem is that,Koraidon is doing pretty badly than expected so Zamazenta just exist more frequently cuz Koraidon is not really under people's Radar

[molten oasis]

you also have amon instantly hindered pretty hard by rain being up

and peli/torn being meta

[spiral pawn]

Idk how you guys are still going but I’m going now. Sayonara!

[molten oasis]

hmm

[bold geode]

We're chronically online

[molten oasis]

kyurem a9, what is an issue for this immedately

[solid frigate]

yeah so Koraidon is just genuinely worse

Still under my radar

[molten oasis]

steel coverage, zama/korai, rocks

rain shifu can roll me

waterpon could be okay

[solid frigate]

Wait can Kyurem white do stuff in Rain Like Calyrex Ice

oh wait nvm

Fusion Flare exists

[molten oasis]

a cc from shifu kills me

[daring pumice]

Could go lando I , handles alot of the weaknesses of a9 and kyurem

wait nvm then water urshifu cooks u

[solid frigate]

yeah Kyurem White is not exactly good in Weather honestly,the best is snow but very clunky

[molten oasis]

idk about clunky

its more getting a9 in good position

is hard

[stark juniper]

Question for you lot, I’m a bit out of the loop, what are the best non legend walls atm?

[nocturne holly]

does solgaleo have a niche or is it just shit

[solid frigate]

why tho

[nocturne holly]

Define “wall”

[solid frigate]

its shit

[daring pumice]

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/15f495e6fc85efb9 hmm

[solid frigate]

the only thing people Prefer Solgaleo is that they watched the Sun and Moon Anime and Ash Owns it

Whenever Ash Owns a Mon,The mon will have its Fanbase(Sorry Unfezant)

[daring pumice]

True I remember ppl having dracovish obsession

[nocturne holly]

Dawn wings does right

[molten oasis]

yk

[solid frigate]

i mean its Necrozma so yeah,but it has Calm Mind

[molten oasis]

could go dual weather with rain dance torn

[nocturne holly]

What are you tryna cook 😭

[molten oasis]

similar logic to the kyogre team

[solid frigate]

Like seriously Ash is kinda also ruining Pokefans Logic

[molten oasis]

im trying to cook kyurem white stuff okay

[nocturne holly]

don’t 😈

[molten oasis]

it's a thought

[nocturne holly]

it has a ton of coverage tho

[molten oasis]

[balmy glen]

[molten oasis]

aw bummer

[solid frigate]

Sad

[nocturne holly]

Does white run av tho

[molten oasis]

ik he won with snow so, i went to his stuff

[solid frigate]

you can run something else like LORB i guess

[molten oasis]

shiiit yea im already using av

[balmy glen]

Nah AV is kind of needed tbh

Ik Tyo had my friend on some Specs Ky

[solid frigate]

also

Wtf is Japan's Obsession with Lorb Raging Bolt

[molten oasis]

im probably stuck with torn for speed control huh

https://pokepast.es/15f495e6fc85efb9 im at this atm

[daring pumice]

Specs boosted helping hand boosted 100% accurate blizzards😭😭

[solid frigate]

somehow Lyco uses Specs Kyurem white and everyone Judge Him lol

[molten oasis]

lyco does what he wants

[solid frigate]

at least he has Results

better than like say randos in here

and he did help me build that Kyogre team who got Two losses still

[molten oasis]

man

ugh torn it is

i cant think of anything else

[spiral pawn]

皆さんもう一つ。良い一日をお過ごしください！あなたは皆素晴らしいです！

[solid frigate]

[molten oasis]

[solid frigate]

[nocturne holly]

Show the team

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/9f19a00aaaf217e4 ik your not a kyurem guy but @balmy glen may i ask what you think of this?

[spiral pawn]

Actually translate this one, also srry for bugging you with Japanese

[nocturne holly]

dawg who are you even tryna talk to with the Japanese bro

[spiral pawn]

This one’s nice

[molten oasis]

first 4 could be okay unsure on the rest

[solid frigate]

Torn Shifu is fine as a Secondary Mode

[spiral pawn]

I actually don’t watch anime despite my pfp and the fact I’m speaking Japanese, anyway, go on

[molten oasis]

shifu is the real restricted

[nocturne holly]

it was 😢

I’m the real restricted too lean fr fr

[spiral pawn]

🥲

[solid frigate]

so yeah maybe this team can still work

Its just Placing on A9 needs to be covered

[spiral pawn]

Sayonara! 👋

[balmy glen]

Wdym

Just use A9

[molten oasis]

a9's fine

im worried about, the rest lol

[balmy glen]

It’s Heatran

Isn’t Heatran on that team I forgot tbh

[molten oasis]

not mien but on tyo's one i saw yes

[nocturne holly]

I can’t fucking wait till double restricteds

It’s going to be so much more fun

a lot more diversity too

[balmy glen]

I’m going to be running the same team all reg once I decided on it

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/48bcc11bc090b2d6

Does it work?

[balmy glen]

Literally going to comfort diff the hell out of everyone lol

[solid frigate]

and yes Boulder Addiction moment

haven't use Pagos for so long

[balmy glen]

I hate scarf chi so much lol

[solid frigate]

KEK

[balmy glen]

like it’s kind of bad ngl

but I guess it’s fine with encore stuff

[solid frigate]

also like idk if Boulder is fine for this team cuz i kinda lost redirection

but i guess its good for Koraidon MU

252 Atk Iron Boulder Mighty Cleave vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Fire Koraidon: 138-164 (78.8 - 93.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Good enough i guess

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2158125601

[molten oasis]

Thats an interesting idea

[nocturne holly]

FRRR

zacian and cir/csr/kyogre

Shiii is gonna be so fun

[balmy glen]

zacian will be best partnered with kyogre tbh

AV kyogre zacian sounds like a pain

[solid frigate]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2158133357-t7qrviqgtnd55mleofuvz64py8i44r0pw

Somehow brought it back

[molten oasis]

I can actually send you a setonce and I did

A set monke*

I ran, that lol

He ran zama CSR

[molten oasis]

CSR with zama and CIR with miraidon I think will be the notable pairings

[chrome knot]

if u want a quick nitpick thatll help in all future games

if ur unsure ur gonna take a ko but know your partner moves first over terapagos

0 SpA Choice Specs Tera-Stellar Terapagos-Stellar Tera Starstorm vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tera-Electric Miraidon: 134-160 (76.5 - 91.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (2 targets)

0 SpA Choice Specs Tera-Stellar Terapagos-Stellar Tera Starstorm vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tera-Electric Miraidon: 182-216 (104 - 123.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO (single target, take the ko on whims)

[rustic mountain]

swordfish return

we got like another 2 months of reg g tho nd ppl r already jaded

[solid frigate]

am i the only one who grow tired of Reg G lol

[ivory girder]

I feel like this is where I should ask this so how does fusion affect IVs and EVs?

[solid frigate]

the main Pokemon will be the Deciding one,So Kyurem's EVs will be Black or White Kyurem's EVs and IVs

[nocturne holly]

https://pokepast.es/d89f676e215d5902 I wanna run safety goggles shifuu on this so that’d mean I’d have to switch incin to either av or Sitrus but av is on bolt
Would av be better on incin and have booster on bolt or give incin Sitrus

[ivory girder]

Okay thanks, how about the submissive part of the fusion? Will the IVs (if hyper trained) and EVs disappear?

[gentle crag]

grid.9 has given 1 Gen Rep to morrispxg456

[solid frigate]

they will be still here,if they unfuse,their EVs and IVs are still here

[ivory girder]

Okay phew

[nocturne holly]

Anyone 😭😭

[steady cove]

Which ogerpon mask do you prefer?

[solid frigate]

i have not that much knowledge on building Caly Ice Team

[cedar crow]

Heart flame or Wellspring

[steady cove]

This is the team I will train for you and send you the rental code for.
Besides the EVs and Ivs, is there anything here you would like me to change like tera type, abilities, or items, etc?
https://pokepast.es/d886d4c113bebace

And single battle btw

[cedar crow]

Oh no I don’t intend to play stadium thx for offering

[steady cove]

lol What do you mean by "stadium"?

[cedar crow]

The online one

[steady cove]

Do you not battle other players on line in 6v6 singles?

[cedar crow]

No I don’t

[steady cove]

Oh...

XD Well, I wasted my time that. Hahahaha

[cedar crow]

Sorry!

[steady cove]

If I turned your team into a 6v6 singles team that had the same base stat total as my pokemon for perfect balance, would you battle me using it?

Or what you rather me create doubles teams with balanced stats?

[craggy dagger]

meow-?

[steady cove]

Woof, woof.

Would you like to participate in my balanced singles format?

[molten oasis]

[craggy dagger]

mmmm-
depends i guess

though i’m not really good at single battles so you’ll have to excuse me if i am first to fall

[lofty tartan]

Beep beep

[dapper crag]

Beep beep

[steady cove]

Ok, please put a team together with pokemon showdown and send me the pokepaste.

[torpid wraith]

I'm thinking about getting into competitive play and I'm thinking about using Galar Articuno as my set, any ideas for movesets and a team?

[nocturne holly]

https://pokepast.es/bb33e22ce2ef5e10

[next stump]

single or double battles?

[torpid wraith]

I'm going to start out in singles

[next stump]

I unfortunately don’t play that format so I’m not much help, but I think a couple players here do

[nocturne holly]

Barely 😭 haven’t seen any singles players in a while

[torpid wraith]

what is a double moveset and team yall recommend?

[graceful flare]

Clear amulet dondozo?

[craggy dagger]

i’m not sure what i’m supposed to do

[nocturne holly]

I don’t know what to cook with

cir is fun but is kinda easy to play with imo

[next stump]

easy = fun hahaha

[mighty stump]

Still have no clue what I’m gonna be running overall

Lol

Ive been playing random ahh things on and off

[craggy dagger]

if you want a challenge try picking something that’s not a restricted as your base for the team

[mighty stump]

Well I cant lol

Im doing for OPL

[foggy lodge]

What is OPL?

[nocturne holly]

Lol

Idk ig I just want something a little more challenging to play

[foggy lodge]

i had an idea with the moxie boosted video

Play a team of only pokemon obtainable in the base game lol

[rustic mountain]

i mean koraidon and miraidon are both base game so i guess its not terrible

[craggy dagger]

owah-
base game-

you can try the reg A dancer aqua step gimmick

[foggy lodge]

The only idea i had is this https://pokepast.es/83086c5cb0fa3bbe

[balmy glen]

no

thats not why at all

sash chi is the only problem for zama tbh

scarf chi loses to zama

@mighty stump

get off ladder with ur snorlax

[molten oasis]

Did you find tofu on ladder lol

[balmy glen]

no I found a guy in high ladder with a tofu like team

he has 1630 with it

so not bad but im running Zacian so

[molten oasis]

Nice

Did you win?

[balmy glen]

of course

im testing for my opl squad

https://tenor.com/view/its-been84years-titanic-rose-dawson-gif-5372593

people who have been playing since SWSH

[minor panther]

apparently urshifu is specifically an asian black bear

i was wondering what kinf of bear he was

[junior patrol]

Say what's a good Zamazenta team to use

I wanna branch out to playing with other teams

[nocturne holly]

I can’t fucking use labmaus brooo

I can’t find and filter teams

[craggy dagger]

i mean at least we could somewhat negate its damage with dynamax in swsh

[bold geode]

I actually love Urshifu cuz it dumb lol

[silver ravine]

Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns? Thinking of getting rid of Incin for Whim in order to have tailwind. https://pokepast.es/10e5a2bf92197801

[next stump]

agreed on that change being a good option, but also what's the entei here for? I feel like that slot could be whims

[silver ravine]

Mainly as the paonite core, but using entei instead. Thinking it gives me a secondary win con, if whim + mira doesn't get the job done.

Though getting rid of entei would give me a better option to lead with. As it stands the trick room mode would be the weakest without Incin. Though what to do with pao? Maybe get rid of for yu?

[craggy dagger]

oh-
paoteinite

keep pao-
pao’s a good wallbreaker

That is that one team from rajan bal and aaron traylor, but I thought that iron hands could be a good replacement for oger/ditto, since it has obvious synergy with miraidon, and also can work instead of incin, in certain matchups, or, in more specific cases, even with him.

[strange fjord]

not me lol

He's cooking like a Japanese player

And the results are looking positive

Idt Tera’ing torn was worth it

[autumn vault]

It's for avoiding the Encore from Whim

[molten oasis]

Still

But also

[autumn vault]

Wasn't sure Freeze Dry OHKO'd since it was a roll

[molten oasis]

You can taunt it, as you’re now faster than a whims

[autumn vault]

I don't have Taunt anymore

[molten oasis]

Then what do you have

[autumn vault]

Protect

[molten oasis]

then click protect

[autumn vault]

It has been useful preserving the torn

[molten oasis]

You didn’t need to kill kyogre

[autumn vault]

I can see why i didn't need to

[molten oasis]

Freeze dry into blizzard kills

[autumn vault]

Since next turn Kyurem-W outspeeds it

[autumn vault]

Do i need to remind you again that it's specs

[molten oasis]

Right you’re weird

[autumn vault]

I like big numbers

[molten oasis]

Sure, anyway

Kyurem isn’t threatened by kyogre

Most it can do is ice beam

[autumn vault]

Yeah ik

[molten oasis]

Still idt you needed to Tera it felt unnecessary

Because you can doesn’t mean you should although I understand the logic

[autumn vault]

If i clicked Protect then the Whim can just encore next turn

Which is also another reason for the tera dark

[molten oasis]

So if you protect what damage does kyogre do to it

Cuz again you’re not threatened by kyogre with kyurem

And you 2hko

[autumn vault]

And Water Spout was really pathetic

[molten oasis]

Well, you hit it first

[autumn vault]

Which is already very obvious

[molten oasis]

Imo the play is freeze dry kyogre and protect torn

[autumn vault]

Could have been better ik

[molten oasis]

Then switch into, whatever you had in the back and freeze dry again

[autumn vault]

iirc i had A9 and Urshifu

[molten oasis]

A9 then

[autumn vault]

I already had snow up

[molten oasis]

Okay

[autumn vault]

But an aurora veil is always nice

[molten oasis]

You want to eat a moonblast from whims?

[autumn vault]

Not at -2

[molten oasis]

Well, are you scarf shifu?

[autumn vault]

No

[molten oasis]

Then shifu is probably fine

[autumn vault]

Chi-Yu is Scarf

[molten oasis]

To switchin over torn

[sharp cobalt]

[molten oasis]

Kyurem can eat a moonblast and you can Tera the Kyurem freely

Are you Tera fire?

[sharp cobalt]

[autumn vault]

Yes

[sharp cobalt]

[molten oasis]

Then yea, you kill the kyogre and Tera fire with kyurem

[autumn vault]

Yeah ik

Protect torn, freeze dry

Then switch torn and tera fire freeze dry again

[molten oasis]

Just a theory thought for if he chose to play out the match and also you didn’t Tera

Anyway

I’m going to go sleep now gn

[autumn vault]

GN

[vital zephyr]

Yo lyco do you know any funny combos for double doesn’t have to be high tier just some cool combos

good morning y’all

[minor panther]

oh damn its nearly 8 am- anyway

good morning

[nocturne holly]

Morning

[balmy glen]

damn

I had respect for someone then found out they shit talked me after our match lmao

moment

Got leaked messages 😭

[solid frigate]

Hoi

[autumn vault]

Only salty people do that

Its a waste of time saying mean comments about someone

[balmy glen]

its a top player too lol

was kind of disappointed to see them shit talking behind close doors when they seemed so nice after our match but it happens ig

[chrome knot]

uh oh lol

[autumn vault]

Just find it sad if you vent to someone about an opponent you had and shit talk them behind their back when they only beat you and didn't say anything offensive

[balmy glen]

I mean its kind of wtvr just disappointing that its coming from a top player yk lol

[chrome knot]

who was it lmao

[balmy glen]

eh idk if I should say it tbh its a friend of a friend which made it more disappointing lol

[chrome knot]

you can pm me itttt

i wont spread word bc i not a weirdo im just curious

[next stump]

comp scenes are full of clout chasers and cliques

pokemon is better than other games i've been in but still a very clear "upper class"

luckily as you get older you realize those people might be good at the game but they're actual losers IRL

[mighty stump]

Cliques are lame overall

[nocturne holly]

Did you win tho

[polar canyon]

Whats a clique

[nocturne holly]

W blogpost

[mighty stump]

Oh you read it?

[nocturne holly]

Yea

[polar canyon]

There's a new one?

[mighty stump]

Appreciate you

[polar canyon]

I'm so reading it right now all your posts are fire

[nocturne holly]

👍

[balmy glen]

no

Well yes and no

I beat them before but not like the latest one

[nocturne holly]

you took a game off?

[balmy glen]

like when they trash talked they had beaten me

[nocturne holly]

oh
Were they calling you bad or like

[balmy glen]

pretty much ig lol

[nocturne holly]

😭 but you beat them once right

[balmy glen]

Mhm

It’s wtvr

[autumn vault]

Reminds me of another competitive fanbase i used to be a part of

The players treat bottom level players like trash

And you had to be really bad to be punished

And being Mario Kart 8 Deluxe did not help at all

I got a bunch of shit rng in that game when i played competitive

And i was pretty skilled

[polar canyon]

Dang being in a comp scene for mario kart sounds terrible

[autumn vault]

But the shit rng kept me down, fuck that game

[polar canyon]

I'm just hoping mario kart 9 meta is more centered around actually trying to be first

[autumn vault]

There were a lot of good people and moments, but there were a good chunk of shitters

[polar canyon]

Don't get me wrong I know bagging strategies do take skill

But man it's so boring

It's a racing game and the best strategy is to stay behind most of the time

[autumn vault]

And very luck based

I recommend to never play that game competitively

[polar canyon]

What do you call like the in between for casual and competitive

I like to play the online ranked mode I just don't use like tryhard strats and try to have fun mostly

I'm like 5000?

4000 I think

[autumn vault]

I am at 9300 iirc

[polar canyon]

It's my spot in a lot of games

More than a casual player but not really a competitive focused person trying to get to the top

I think I good example is that that's how I play splatoon

How I play 3 and played 2

[autumn vault]

Yeah

Competitive fanbases generally suck tbh

[polar canyon]

When I look at top x power splatoon players it makes me hope I'm never in the same kinda spot as them

They're the ones who rage the most at bad teammates because apprently up in the top elo the matchmaking gets more unbalanced

And they quickly get to the point where a win gets you little x power and a loss loses you a lot of x power

Aka elo

@mighty stump I think your post was pretty good

[autumn vault]

I mean we all hate getting bad teammates to be fair

[polar canyon]

I think everyone here sees you as a pretty cool guy who's really good at the game

[autumn vault]

But no need to rage about that

[polar canyon]

So like do expect people to read it

[autumn vault]

I'm considering reading tofu's blogpost later

[polar canyon]

Seems like they get them pretty often actually like more than what would be considered usual

[autumn vault]

Or maybe their standards are a little too high

[polar canyon]

Because all the comp players say the skill based matchmaking gets unbalanced at high level

And you can't play with your own party in the main comp ladder mode

Only randoms

[autumn vault]

Yeah ik how splatoon works

[polar canyon]

Sorry didn't know if you knew

I main glooga dualies

Those are so underrated

[autumn vault]

I main rollers and aerospray

[polar canyon]

I haven't played in a long time tho

[autumn vault]

I haven't played in weeks

[polar canyon]

Both variants have good kits, decently precise and fast 2 shot kill after rolling

[bold geode]

It the one you posted the other day?

[polar canyon]

I would never have guessed tofu started with swsh

[bold geode]

See he gets it

[autumn vault]

I would have guessed that

[polar canyon]

All the advice sounds like it's coming from someone who's been playing for like over 10 years

[autumn vault]

Use the Uno Reverse, make Monke suffer

[polar canyon]

Almost makes me feel a little bad for starting with swsh and not being good at the game

But I've always been on and off and not truly focused

[nocturne holly]

What restricted are you using

zac??

[polar canyon]

And each player has their own rhythm so I can't be comparing myself to tofu

[mighty stump]

Yea

[nocturne holly]

Tofu what restricted are you using

[mighty stump]

I don’t have a specific one

Hahaha

[polar canyon]

Sounds silly to restrict yourself to one restricted

[mighty stump]

I’ve been busy enough this month that I can’t grind things out that much too

[polar canyon]

Well what's the most recent you used?

[mighty stump]

Just moved and started my new job and all

Uhh

[polar canyon]

Congrats

[nocturne holly]

do you have your sights set on any

[mighty stump]

I’ve used Zama/Pagos/CSR/CIR/Mirai

So basically

The meta

LOL

[autumn vault]

Hopefully that proccess goes well

[polar canyon]

That's fair

[nocturne holly]

meta is goood

[autumn vault]

Meta helps me win games easier

[mighty stump]

Im literally ironing clothes on the floor cause of how bare my new start is but yea

[polar canyon]

I mean it's hard to go off meta with restricteds

[nocturne holly]

NOOOOOOO

you need lint roller

[polar canyon]

I want to comment on it but I know nothing about ironing

[mighty stump]

I don’t see how a lint roller is helping me iron my pants

[nocturne holly]

no because the floor is going to get it dirty

[autumn vault]

Me neither

[mighty stump]

Oh

[nocturne holly]

you don’t wanna pull up with lint all over you 🤮

[mighty stump]

No I sweep/dust/nop the floor regularly/ no outside footwear in my studio

so

plus

Im a vet

Lint is the least of ny worries

LOL

[young raptor]

hi, can anyone trade me a few mons from scralet?

[polar canyon]

Tofu did I ever tell you you are extremely cool

[mighty stump]

Try the trading channels

[bold geode]

Bro has a lawn chair in his living room and that's it

[nocturne holly]

shiii you’re a vet??

[mighty stump]

I appreciate you, even if I don’t feel that way

[polar canyon]

Taking care of animals is awesome

The world needs people like you

[autumn vault]

Tofu is a very good person

[polar canyon]

People who know how to properly care for animals and also play pokemon

[bold geode]

Y'know those memes that are like "boys live like this and think it's ok" or whatever
That's Tofu in his studio rn

[nocturne holly]

fr

[autumn vault]

Yeah

[mighty stump]

Listen

[nocturne holly]

the only thing is
I’m ok with nothing except I NEED a bed frame

[mighty stump]

Id love to redecorate

[polar canyon]

Unironically gotta be more like this guy in a few aspects

[mighty stump]

Ok

But im literally waiting on my first paycheck

So like

[polar canyon]

Just don't tell us you're sleeping on the floor

[nocturne holly]

Yea

[mighty stump]

ok not that bare

lol

but i dont have a desk/chair

[bold geode]

Yeah lol
I need money

[mighty stump]

thankfully

my living costs are fairly

affordable

and i can save quite aggressively

[polar canyon]

I'm so glad I have supportive parents

I get to have both comfort and time to study

[mighty stump]

I can probably shove 1.5k into my savings per month

[polar canyon]

That's pretty huge

I think

It's huge to me

[mighty stump]

In this exonomy? yea

Lol

[polar canyon]

I mean what currency are we talking

I could only dream of getting 1.5k dollars into my savings monthly

I mean I still haven't looked nor needed a job yet

But that's how I wanna be when I do look for one lol

[mighty stump]

usd

i converted from SGD

[nocturne holly]

that’s good

[mighty stump]

So basically I can have around 1.5k in savings per month and another 1k to just do whatever

[nocturne holly]

What country are you in

[next stump]

what is rent like there?

[mighty stump]

I can skimp on a bunch of things except food

[polar canyon]

I think I'm on track for a good professional future

[mighty stump]

Pretty shit, but probably better than a lot of western countries

but im lucky since my vet clinic is corporate, and they gave me a pretty good relocation package

[polar canyon]

Since I'm studying tech in uni I get to work from home for companies around the world

[next stump]

where i live near chicago it's like $2000ish for any decent apartment

[polar canyon]

It's gonna be so great if I get paid in euros or dollars

[bold geode]

Yeah
Tofu I'm remembering when I gave you money now and saw Indonesia conversions lmao

[mighty stump]

okay well probably -500 and you can live pretty comfortable alone

[next stump]

not the worst but living alone is tough for people who are young

[mighty stump]

my rent is like

1800 including bills

So pretty good

[polar canyon]

How old are you again?

[bold geode]

I literally do not know after my mom is gone wtf imma do

[mighty stump]

uhm

25

I just turned 25

[next stump]

that's about the same as me, like $2k after bills

[mighty stump]

this year

btw you can effectively eat out here every day for lunch and dinner and only spend like

250 dollars a month

[next stump]

holy shit the DREAM

[polar canyon]

Im trying to not put you on a pedestal rn

[mighty stump]

I am a very flawed person

[bold geode]

Tbf if you do the math
Some people eat like off the dollar menu at places and basically pay as much for that as groceries

[polar canyon]

You said so on your blogpost

[mighty stump]

Yeah but im talking like

[polar canyon]

I mean not directly

[mighty stump]

i get rice + vegetables + protein

[bold geode]

Better dining yeah
I fuckin wish

[mighty stump]

like

here

[polar canyon]

Reminds me that I need to get my good eating habits back

[bold geode]

Fuck I go to Panda Express and I'm like tf why did I spend 30 for two people

[polar canyon]

I think my lunch yesterday was a pack of cookies

[mighty stump]

not the best pic

but rice, fried fish, and some stir fried beansprouts

is like

2 bucks

[polar canyon]

Should I start sharing food pics here too?

[bold geode]

What country you in again?

[mighty stump]

i get sweet and sour pork/broccoli/pak choy and rice for probably 4 bucks

[mighty stump]

Singapore

[bold geode]

Ok moving to Singapore

[polar canyon]

I'm making my specialty signature spicy sausage marinara this weekend I need to share some pics

It's a fun story

One day I just casually made some tomato sauce

[mighty stump]

thing is

Theyre incredibly strict about

Everything

Lol

[polar canyon]

My mom tried it, then had the rest of my family try it then decided we should start selling it because it's too good

[mighty stump]

Like its hard to get in

I only got in since vets are high demand

[polar canyon]

And it made me super proud because I may have a thing for cooking and should work on the skill

Still looking for somewhere with a non professional-focused in person cooking class

Another day my mom got to schedule a collab with an artisanal pasta selling lady

That's after we started selling my sauce, and she asked me to come up with some new special recipe

Some days later were also selling the special spicy sausage tomato sauce

And it also made me really proud of my cooking

No one's gonna care about my story but I love telling it

Anyways I kinda wanted to try lunala but after playing pagos it honestly feels like a less good version in some ways

There's the calm mind and the meteor beam sets, the extra thing is that it can also do tr

[next stump]

be proud of your talents, that's a really cool skill you have

[polar canyon]

Thanks

Sadly we had to stop selling my sauce because tomatoes rose a lot in price around here

[next stump]

i used to be the same way but then another teacher at the school i teach at leaked that i am going to worlds

and my school newspaper wanted to interview me lol

[chrome knot]

ngl id say no

[polar canyon]

Same

[next stump]

some of the questions were super cringe hahaha

[polar canyon]

I'd probably regret saying no too

But I know in that position I'd probably say no

[nocturne holly]

Like what 😭

[next stump]

"what would you do if a student challenged you to a battle"

[nocturne holly]

lmaoooo

[next stump]

the obvious answer is shit on them

but couldnt say that

[nocturne holly]

Whatd you say

[polar canyon]

Probably yes right?

[balmy glen]

Yooo I need a chef fr

[next stump]

yeah I said that I'd be happy to battle them and if they win they should also play IRL tournaments

something like that

[mighty stump]

Lol

[polar canyon]

I don't wanna make too big of a deal out of my cooking

[mighty stump]

After writing my post i felt a big weight off my shoulders

[polar canyon]

It's just a hobby

[mighty stump]

And how like

I don’t necessarily want to be recognised

Just respected

And I think that goes for essentially everyone in everything

[nocturne holly]

Lol
They wouldn’t win tho lmaoo

[polar canyon]

I mean if they did it would be a sign

[nocturne holly]

ok but

like imo the initial curve in vgc is crazy high

[polar canyon]

Did that ever inspire something of a competitive pokemon scene in your school

[polar canyon]

I have no idea where I am in the curve

[next stump]

not really, teenagers in america nowadays are just into other games usually

[polar canyon]

To me I think it's more of a spectrum

[next stump]

rainbow 6, valorant, etc.

[polar canyon]

Real

Pokemon is either for kids or for adults

[chrome knot]

valorant ow2 league rocket league are big for collegiate esports rn

[polar canyon]

I should look for the comp players in my uni lol

[next stump]

the average IRL VGC player is literally like 26 with a full time job

it's kinda crazy

[polar canyon]

I'm sure there's some

[next stump]

maybe even older than that tbh

it's cool because i know i can keep this hobby for a while

[polar canyon]

Honestly the spot I'm in with comp is awkward

[mighty stump]

Lmao right

[polar canyon]

I wanna improve but I don't want it enough to put effort into it just yet

Because there's more things to do

[mighty stump]

Then don’t

[balmy glen]

ez

[mighty stump]

Just enjoy whatever you’re doing

[polar canyon]

Good point

[polar canyon]

You don't count

The exception

[chrome knot]

what da the avg vgc player is so old

[mighty stump]

The suffering point is when you put too much pressure to perform for things that, in the long run, don’t really matter

[nocturne holly]

I think the nostalgia plays a factor in like the age

[polar canyon]

Absolutely

[balmy glen]

Idk what to do with ma life tho just graduated high school lowk Pokémon is a stress reliever

[bold geode]

You're old Emma

[next stump]

you gotta have desposable income or rich parents to really play VGC competitively IRL

[mighty stump]

Like I love Pokemon as the franchise

[polar canyon]

Also the maturity to admit you play a kids game competitively

[mighty stump]

VGC is just the way I get to express that passion

[polar canyon]

The average teenager doesn't admit they are a huge pokemon fan

[mighty stump]

The last thing I wanna do after working 9-7 is to hit my head against the meta to try and break it when I have other things to do as well

So balance

[bold geode]

Lol

[mighty stump]

Also is it really a kids game

[balmy glen]

I feel like if I get washed on my come up in vgc I’ll just make a unite team with friends loool

[polar canyon]

To the other teenagers it is

[mighty stump]

Feel like all games are kids games atp

Yeah but what do teens know

[bold geode]

The game is like "time to torture yourself again" and Tofu's like "yes dear"

[mighty stump]

all teens know is tiktok and depression

[balmy glen]

I know Pokémon

[mighty stump]

Yeah so depression

[balmy glen]

true 😔

[mighty stump]

[bold geode]

Damn he kinda onto something

[chrome knot]

you WHAT

[balmy glen]

bro

look at my profile I’m like a little kid

[chrome knot]

i thought you were my ahe

[balmy glen]

LMAO

[chrome knot]

not 2 years younger what the hellllll

[mighty stump]

ngl tho

[polar canyon]

I'd have thought that too if I didn't know you were younger

No offense lol

[mighty stump]

Whats with teens and kids nowadays looking way older than I did when I was their age

[bold geode]

Emma you're 2 years younger than me?

[mighty stump]

Like

[balmy glen]

what

[chrome knot]

im only 20

[balmy glen]

I get that I look like a little kid from everyone my age

[bold geode]

My class looked younger tbh

[balmy glen]

Your guys reactions are the total opposite of kids my age lol

[mighty stump]

I looked like 16 at 23 and got ID’d everywhere until I got tattoos

[bold geode]

Does Keanu suffer from baby face?

[polar canyon]

I think I've always looked my age

[mighty stump]

i only look my age now

[balmy glen]

Tbh I look the same as I did when I was 7 so yes

[polar canyon]

I think I've always acted immature tho which I'm currently working on

[bold geode]

I had to grow a beard for people to see my age

[polar canyon]

Explains why a lot of my friends are younger than me

[mighty stump]

I had to gain weight

Lol

[bold geode]

I was 20 and people thought I was 16

[mighty stump]

Then I grew facial hair

[balmy glen]

If I grow out my beard and mustache for more than 2 weeks people tell me I look 25. If I shave people tell me I look 13

[bold geode]

Lmao

[polar canyon]

People don't think I'm younger because of my height

And I'm not like tall by a global standard but people where I live are short

[bold geode]

I had a basketball coach who if he shaved looked like fucking Sheldon from Big Bang Theory

[polar canyon]

So I'm technically pretty tall

[mighty stump]

It's been a long time coming but I can for once say I like myself

Lol

[bold geode]

But thing is he'd never shave so when he did, it looked weird

[polar canyon]

REAL!!!!! same tbh

I enjoy being me

And a year ago I would've never thought I would

[bold geode]

I remember first time I saw him without a beard, I stared at him for like 2 minutes

[mighty stump]

Like

I like my look, I like my fashion, I like my hobbies and my job

[polar canyon]

People who look awesome with a big beard always look like the andrew tate wojak when they shave

[nocturne holly]

Nah my hair is wild

I have a mullet 😭😭

I’m really self conscious about my hair

[bold geode]

I don't like my fashion, but then I see people with only overalls and no shirt on and I realize that the South hardly has ANY fashion lmao

[polar canyon]

Once a hair stylist gave me a mullet I didn't ask for and I was self conscious about it for a month

The curly mullet

[chrome knot]

i look so gross bc im trying to grow out my hair lol

so for now ive put it in a ponytail
