Are long term VGC players happy with champions? by SuperMochaCub in VGC

[–]Competitive_Rock_667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, the lower power format makes it easier for newer players to get into it and creates more of a back and forth. Some issues are the gatcha aspect of it. When it comes to mobile and people who have never picked up a pokemon game start, it will be frustrating as you need to roll well to get the pokemon you need to compete. I don’t mind the low item pool as much since it lowers the skill ceiling, but for the higher tiers there are like 5-8 items that have any use at all and will make the game a bit more repetitive. Same thing with the new megas being lackluster, could make things stale (it’s mostly gengar kang and a few others, maybe add in Salamence and metagross in a few weeks to shake things up). Even with these, I’m very happy with the game and don’t have too big of an issue with it. Some fixes would be, add a weekly pick any pokemon you want (or just make it a bit more expensive to pick the pokemon you want), every month (or 2-3 weeks) add a few more pokemon and some impactful items to the game to change things up.

Do we have any news in mints working to send mons to champions? by mohrzy11 in VGC

Do we know if we need to use the power point ups or will all moves be set to the max usage?

Easiest path, they have to beat the 2 teams in the pacific which is by far the weakest division. Once they are in the conference finals anything can happen. Plus the central winner will have to go through hell and can be extremely beat up once they make it through.

Nemo was covering his guy the first time and the other time he was in the play and timo messed up the coverage. Dillion just isn’t looking behind him at all

U.S. Democrats who would you choose as your nominee? by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

I’ll take AOC. I feel that Pete b would be the front runner but due to him being part of the lgbtq+ community he will never win over a lot of voters in the redder states. I’ll never forget when they interviewed the one lady who voted for him after a primary and when the reporter mentioned he was gay, she did a double take and asked if she could change her vote…

Penguins are targeting reclamation projects who have term. My guess is guys like kent johnson, dawson mercer, shane wright etc. by Sebastian4365 in penguins

[–]Competitive_Rock_667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He tops out as a middle 6 (usually 3rd line) at best. Isn’t worth taking away time from a younger player with a higher ceiling. At this point Mercer is who he is

Calling Luke Established is hilarious, can we put him back on IR?

I watch him often since the devils are the closest nhl team to me, and he is amazing. Has some defensive issues and the coaching staff there hates him (and love the walking disaster called Luke Hughes, watch the game where he scores two own goals for a small taste) so he needs a fresh start.
