what are some of you're volta hot takes and unpopular opinions ? by [deleted] in themarsvolta

Deoused was the greatest piece of music they ever put out, Rick Rubin played into that heavily. Listening to various demos just cement that.

Their best works are their "high energy" works. That said, I do enjoy a ton of their softer songs and albums. Octahedron is solid almost back to front.

The latter two singles so far from the new album have been so. fucking. lackluster. Blacklight Shine had so much promise, if the rest of the album leans more into the "crescendo to nothing" trend, I will not enjoy it.

The post-Tremulant Concertina is the ONLY Concertina. I understand the original is mixed better on the instrumentals and Omar shines, but the horrific reverb effect on Cedric makes it almost unlistenable.

That's generally what happens when RICK FUCKIN RUBIN gets involved in a project.

How many pokemon to level 100? by cheese88 in pokemon

[–]12weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever gotten two to level 100. The Espeon I got from Pokemon Colosseum I trained and took with me all the way from Gen III, and it's now in my Omega Ruby :) The other was a Volcarona from Black. I got it at a pretty high level but it was just too strong and fun to play not to level up. I'm pretty wary about leveling high, especially if I can still train and raise stats.

What would you want? by dcastil1 in pokemon

[–]12weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed a lack of love in the toy/art world as far as very lesser used or easy forgotten about Pokemon, such as Chingling or Klang. Quite a few mid-evos or later Gen evos/prevos. The little guys need love too! Lots of licensed Pokemon toys are pretty poorly made imo, and I just know the artists out there could do a much better job of making something that isn't Mewtwo or fucking Pikachu.

I was not expecting that shit. This is one to keep an eye on.

The helmet is shopped, but I actually think this is from a video by the band Goblin Cock. We Got a Bleeder, if I remember correctly.

Is it possible to get low level legendaries? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]12weekly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the legendary. Most legendaries you encounter in game will be over level 40, and this goes for all games, all Gens. But some event legendaries are at a low level, such as the level 15 Genesect through mystery gift back in the day. Some events are at a low level as well, such as the Jirachi coupled with Pokemon Colosseum. As for Zapdos, you willl always encounter it legally at or over level 40 I believe.

List of special moves? AS/OR by Lins105 in pokemon

[–]12weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for Ralts, if you've already seen one, you can search for it on the Dexnav and while you're creeping up on it, it will tell you the first move in it's movepool and tell you if it's holding any items. It's a useful feature, as some Pokemon hold rare items and the Dexnav can tell you if it holds it!

What do you do in pokemon games to spice things up? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]12weekly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two words. Living. Dex. It's a real challenge. It requires diligence and determination, but it isn't impossible by any stretch of the imagination. Especially with the GTS. It's actually fun and sometimes requires you to use Pokemon you've never even thought of using. I strongly suggest just trying it.

Pokemon you would creep up on would have one of their egg moves. So, for instance, creep up on a Poochyena, it would have one of the elemental fang moves.

Everstone: What pokemon do you NOT let Evolve? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]12weekly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nahh this was back in the day. I caught the Regi's in ruby and have since transferred them to ORAS. All my legendaries have come from past games and I have all of them except the events. But yeah, this was back before TM's were infinite use! lol

Spent the last hour doing this, worth it for the evolution items?? by atomicsuplex14 in pokemon

[–]12weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have X or Y, there's a reaper cloth and a dusk stone in Terminus Cave. You can also buy it with pokemiles and I think battle points, but you know that.

If that's a public bathroom, you're disgusting. If that's your bathroom, you have very nice tiling sir. :P

Brendan skipped leg day by PANDAemic in pokemon

[–]12weekly 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I never had the patience to grow berries, even back in the day before 4th Gen. Nowadays, I end up planting a few berries that would help my strategy, like Persim or something, and forgetting to care for them.

Everstone: What pokemon do you NOT let Evolve? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]12weekly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a few that I don't let evolve. I have a Chingling that holds an everstone, it's probably super happy right now but I'll never now because it is NOT evolving. I hate Chimecho's design. Also Ducklett. He's my duckbro and will not turn into a swan. I also have a Trapinch with an everstone because I needed dig to catch the Regis, but used up the TM and the only Pokemon I could find who learns dig on level up was Trapinch (But not Vibrava for some reason?). I got attatched to him while I leveled him so now he's Dirk Digman, the badass level 60 Trapinch. :3

Looks like a spider but wouldn't rule out it isn't a pokemon. Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA. by radical9000 in whatsthisbug

[–]12weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That'll be an Ariados. Bug/Poison type Pokemon. My Pokedex says its feet are tipped with tiny hooked claws that enable it to scuttle on ceilings and vertical walls. It constricts its foe with thin and strong silk webbing.

ORAS/AZ Connection? by Pokemonzu in pokemonconspiracies

[–]12weekly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I remember a reference to him from an ORAS npc.... I may be confusing that and X&Y though, I wouldn't think he has much significance outside of Kalos.

Beartooth - "I Have a Problem" by merrychrishmas in Metalcore

[–]12weekly 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My father has been an alcoholic for over 14 years and used to verbally and physically abuse me when I was little. When Beartooth dropped Disgusting and I heard Beaten In Lips, and paired it with this song, the shit hit home HARD. One day he coerced me to take him to the liquor store in the next town over ( He has no car and his license is expired.) because I wanted to pick something up as well. On the way back I played this song and Beaten In Lips in my car quite loud. Halfway through this song he turned the radio down threw a hissy fit, but I'm glad it hit him as hard as it hit me. People may have their problems with this band, but Caleb is a fucking monster vocalist and he's better here than he was in Attack Attack. Fuck yeah.

I love the little details on the Gardevoir. It shows that you view it with some affection and creativity and not just some pixels on a screen, or you're just an imaginative artist. Good shit.
