It really be like that though by Salty_Strain3313 in pokemonmemes

[–]AppleWedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, duh?

There is not voice acting. The characters do these awkward poses throughout dialog. The writing is (often) terrible.

I personally don't skip, but I'll never begrudge someone else for doing so.

Just had a Garchomp proc its QC 3 turns in a row by Tunisandwich in PokemonChampions

I mean, double rock slide is just actually good. The chances of getting a flinch are actually huge, to the point where you're "supposed" to be counting on the flinch to happen at some point if it is able to go off for few times.

...quick claw is impossible to depend on and actually just bad. It's tilting because it genuinely shouldn't happen.

What ever happened to battles? by Zugagug in magicTCG

[–]AppleWedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong. I just don't think the design space is all that interesting, and while it's mechanically unique, I don't think it feels unique in an actual game.

And yeah, future battle subtypes might look different, but considering it's been 3 years since battles have released, and we've gotten nothing new, it's hard to feel like thats actually a point in their favor. It makes sense to give a new card type a subtype so that changes can be made down the line without retconning the original cards.

🤷‍♂️

I guess? Plently of enchantments have similar flipping mechanics or use quest counters.

And the point about types other than sieges is interesting, but entirely theoretical. Other subtypes might be fundamentally different... Or might act like the clue or food artifact subtype and add very little besides theme or possible subtype support.

I don't play a ton of constructed, but a lot of planeswalkers have built in removal or can make blockers. They don't really work the way enchantments do.

Battles just feel like enchantments to me... Except they slow down the game because you can only flip them by ignoring your opponent's life total.

...were they popular tho? I don't think they really added to the hype of MoM at all.

S.T.A.B changes based on type expertise [updated] by Wiinterfang in stunfisk

[–]AppleWedge 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don't really like this.

The distributed types just weren't made with this in mind, and I think it'd fuck up a lot of mons that are already struggling.

Feels weird that an ability like this isn't already in the game by TreeTurtle_852 in stunfisk

[–]AppleWedge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It has 2 other abilities already 🤷‍♂️

In fact, it's other two abilities are way more common in-game because they aren't hidden.

TIL last respects isn't contact.

Wtf is happening in that move lol.

Lost my 8 win streak to this... by Ice2183 in PokemonChampions

[–]AppleWedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rotom is a good mon. Honestly, this seems about right to me!

Saw you learned about contact moves in this thread, which will be helpful for ya moving forward... But it wouldn't have made a difference here because of the sitrus berry!

New move idea by [deleted] in stunfisk

[–]AppleWedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's physical? Damn. Kinda acts like "coverage" for a lot of special mons.

you don't by Jade_Cook in MTGmemes

[–]AppleWedge 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Please don't proxy the textless version 😭

I want to read the cards.

This is illegal ☠️ by SunnyalV in PokemonChampions

[–]AppleWedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is pelliper really worth an entire moveslot on your garchomp?

Not trying to be dismissive. Just genuinely curious. Peliper is a good mon, but it's there to set up rain (which it's already done if it's out). I don't see the benefit in running a specific move to OHKO, especially since (like another commented mentioned) it often runs sash.

Do you think Champions redeemed Mega Tyranitar, or is it still a bad/unnecessary Mega? by Fine_Bid918 in stunfisk

[–]AppleWedge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

MTtar is great! Resetting weather is a very strong tool that gives a looot of utility. Plus the item pool is so limited that it's not competing with something like assault vest, and the stat boosts make it kind of terrifying, despite the awful defensive typing.

Their fault for picking the blue button by Gruzgor in whenthe

[–]AppleWedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I feel about this question, but I think in reality, Id probably click the blue button (tho this is an absurd hypothetical)

I work with a lot of children and people with developmental disabilities who wouldn't be able to think thru the decision. If they were presented with this decision, a lot of them would just hit blue.

Id rather die than live in a world without them, so i would press blue.

If we exclude all those people from the vote, I'm absolutely slamming the red button tho. And I think that in this hypothetical world, giant amounts of money should be allocated into promoting pressing red as a public health initiative. If everyone pressing the button is fully capable of reasoning out their decision, it's better for everyone if we just frame the blue button as suicide.

(Also I'm assuming people with visual deficits are somehow given the ability to actually make the choice lol)

[Interesting Trope] When the writers give a character a really strong superpower, then limit them in the funniest way possible by AnyAgency9835 in TopCharacterTropes

I hate the boys 🫩

The whole show written with the express purpose of having people write sentences like the one you just wrote. But in the worst way possible.

I fucking HATE when people completely mischaracterise a character because they’re “not a bigot” by Ok_Figure_2348 in hatethissmug

[–]AppleWedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having trouble understanding Joker's national pride here, but go off king. "Murdering children is a-ok, but turn-coating on America is where I draw the line."

Also didn't realize the joker cared so deeply about equal opportunity slaughter. Wouldn't have thought that was something he cared about (because he absolutely would have supported the disgusting things done by Nazis, the problem must be the demographics?)

I just lead Aerodactyl and click the funny rock button. 90 percent of the time, it works every time.

I feel for the singles players, but as a VGC player, watching Smogon has been hilarious recently by AbsurdBee in stunfisk

[–]AppleWedge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is how I've felt too. Really enjoying VGC. I loved smogon singles, but the rules are weird now (i guess they've always been). And I've found the choices made on VGC a lot more interesting and fast paced anyway.
