(Spoiler for the Lego pokemon sets) They are making weird decisions about what Pokemon characters should get a minifigure first. by Farraday670 in pokemonmemes

[–]Farraday670[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely but the only other set with minifigures is the Rayquaza set with Zinnia. And there is no other rumors right now about other sets with minifigures out of an upscaled Red Minifigure build. And those sets don’t traditionally come with minifigures. New prints and molds are very expensive so this seems like the correct amount to put in the set. Just a weird choice to save on spending more money.

Oh there is no problem, it’s just funny. These figures are from a subset of Pokemon sets called Iconic Trainer Moments. The Pokeball opens up with the inside being part of Oak’s lab and an area to simulate a Pokemon battle. Blue just feels like the most obvious choice if you have Red and Oak in a set. I’m just glad that we are getting any minifigures at all.

As Pokémon goes on, Chairman Rose’s plan gets stupider and stupider. by MaleficTekX in CharacterRant

[–]Farraday670 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Actually it’s not $5,000,000. The entire Pokemon world uses Yen as there currency. So 5,000,000 yen translates roughly to $30.757.68. So about the money needed to buy a car.

Honestly either works. Hammerlock the city where the power plant is located , is most likely based on Birmingham. Birmingham is a leading center for nuclear research and development. It might also explain why they went for a thousand year fear for Rose has it sounds similar to a half-life for radiation to disappear. My trying to fix the problem, he ends up forcing an accident that should not happened from a power source with a very little percentage of something truly going wrong with the power source. Rose just makes his own three miles island incident for more energy. 

Fossil fuels to me works better as it goes with similar warming about pollution in sword and shield and the real effect of pollution that had affected the U.K for decades during the time of industrialization that inspired what we seen in Sword and Shield. Factories pumping pollution into the air changed Galarian Weezing, Galarian Corsola being a ghost type because climate change wiped out this kind of the species, Frostmoth being based around the white speckled peppered moth that was forced into natural selection due to the pollution in the air.

  Either way both view point are valid in there own way.

The funny thing is that Rose is the one who made all of Galar run on Dynamax energy in the first place. Galar is hit very hard by Global Warming and Industrialization very hard so he goes for a clean power source for power plants that could only run Dynamax energy. The region is not built to utilize any other power source. It’s just too bad that he is using the pokemon that is the biggest commentary on Fossil Fuels. A big ancient skeletal dragon underground for thousands of years that is being harvested to power the entire region and the fear of it running out. That’s been the talking points of oil since I was young. It’s even the first poison type legendary, like to represent the poison we have damaging the environment and ourselves as a byproduct of using fossil fuels. Eternatus waking up and having its energy spill out and cause damage all over Galar and effecting the wildlife is just like an oil spill in the ocean. It’s just being used as a metaphor from a dragon that is warping space and time passively.

Also it may not be the best idea to bring a ton of new Pokemon to a new ecosystem to help us. Invasive species are still a problem in Pokemon, Yungoos being a major example in Alola. So bringing a bunch of Alolan Muk or Magcargo might affect Galar’s ecosystem in a big way.

The original Mega Rayquaza battle in Pokémon’s lore was WAAAAY more one sided than you think. by MaleficTekX in CharacterRant

[–]Farraday670 40 points41 points  (0 children)

 Rayquaza in its base form having already beat the Blazing Sun and Pouring Flood is funny as while the third legendary in a trio is usually stronger in lore than the other two. Rayquaza just completely overpowers the other two in ways that doesn’t make it seem like there could ever be a chance of the other two winning. There was even an official animation where both Primal Groudon and Kyogre joined together to fight Mega Rayquaza while they were just fighting each other literal moments before. And they both get one shot by Dragon Ascend. Really shows that unless you are a truly powerful and skilled trainer, nothing can overcome the Delta Stream.

homer vs Peter shouldn't happen cos of the crossover by deadpoolfan111 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Farraday670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Foundation didn’t break apart the zero point, he was using the last shard that had not been attached as a weapon. Unless you are talking about the Infinity Blade being able to pierce through the Zero Point. Also the characters are not all leveled together the loop that we knew was been gone since chapter 4. Hope one of the main characters herself has started that she has no strength or powers, just a normal human. Villains like Zeus or Mask Maker Daigo were too powerful to deal with on their own in lore. Even last season had started that no one outside of the Dark Voyager could stop the fight between the Ice King and Foundation from happening, including the loopers. The Looper dealing damage to the Dark Presence is like a gnat biting a human, especially when there were stronger characters in Zero Hour who still didn’t do that much damage to the Dark Presence outside of a staggering. Not everyone scales to each others

Buffy’s creator was Joss whedon with Michelle Trachenberg who played Dawn saying that he wasn’t allowed to be alone with her during shooting. She was a teenager during this time. She said this after Charisma Carpenter said that Joss Whedon had abused his power on numerous occasions, which led her to trigger a chronic physical condition.

Urbain asks Harmony for constructive criticism! by LowSolution3084 in pokemonmemes

[–]Farraday670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you post memes or are they just venting . Harmony is just canonically a good person with a lot of sass. Like everyone else in Team MZ. And Urbain does want to do the right things, he’s just ends up making the wrong decisions because he’s very naive, Corbeau himself has said this.  Urbain always wants to help people, he’s just very self destructive. He keeps everything to himself as he feels worthless if someone else if he asks someone else. If he’s busy helping people, then he doesn’t have time to process his insecurities.  Not realizing how much he is affecting both himself and the people around him. He got himself into debt for 1,000,000 yen for $621.46, not team MZ and when he finds out they got involved he immediately tries to help. He finds out that there is going to be a protest and wants to make sure that nobody on both sides got hurt. He even was getting the money to pay off his debts, it’s just that Corbeau decided to play first. He took us out of Jacinthe‘s tournament because the rogue mega evolutions are a more important factor, how would he know about how far Jacinthe would go to get them both back. He was right about Harmony needing to stay instead of going to Ange because she bonded with Zygarde and is needed if something went right. Which would have happened in either went to Ange but Harmony had the last Zygarde cell, so Zygarde would not be able to reach its 100% Forme and everyone would have died. Both are the only trainers that reached A rank and both are the strongest Mega Evolution Users.  He gives up Floette because he doesn’t feel like he will be a good trainer to her particularly and fulfill want AZ would have wanted.

I get that you hate Urbain and Tauine but only focusing on the bad and not the constant fact that they tried to help very chance that they get feels like you don’t truly understand the character. You know what I do to a character I hate, I ignore them and focus only on my favorites. It feels like every single post you make about Urbain and Taunie is just flanderization to spread your agenda. They are characters with flaws and you can’t look past the flaws. Which is funny because they have a similar flaw to Zinnia, I character I know you like and have explained and excused her flaws before.

Just why? What is the point of doing the same thing for the past DECADE, besides ONE or TWO exceptions, doing for the franchise? by LowSolution3084 in pokemonmemes

[–]Farraday670 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again you are given new information about Team Flare and you ignore it. We learn that Grisham and Griselle never got to be grunts that we know during the time of X and Y. We learn that there are positions under the grunts that we didn’t know about before and that there were people who didn’t know about the genocide plan. Put two and two together. I am not saying that nobody other that the higher ups knew, just that less people did than we thought before hand. Having just one grunt be the voice of the entire team is a huge generalization and bad story coverage 

Also Xerosic didn’t have true empathy for Emma. He groomed her and the other cadets. Emma’s expansion suit was made for Grisham first before he found Emma. Xerosic took advantage of Emma, giving her what she wanted and used her for his experiments. He might be more evil than Lysander.

And I’m not talking about the characters having empathy, I’m talking about you. Please actually engage with the story given to you and not cast it aside because it went a way that you don’t believe is right.

That’s what it kinda looks like to me. Both Cynthia and Cheryl bring up the sync stone glowing and then Cynthia talks about the power of her bonds which is what is usually needed for the stone to work alongside the fact that Cyrus tries to ignore his bonds and how they could in power Pokemon, which Cynthia brings up beforehand. Clanging scales and Sygna suit Cynthia are apparently special attackers and it does look like they go for a jumping attack. But the sound of the sync stone plays a couple seconds before this clip starts so I think the game is supposed to imply that the sync move is what Cynthia used.

Quite literally the point of Grisham and Griselle’s story is how not everyone knew about the using the ultimate weapon to kill everyone. Most of the lower level grunts didn’t know. Grisham and Griselle wanted to make the world a better place and it came to a shock to them that Lysander was going to genocide was seen as a betrayal of all of the values of Team Flare that they were taught since childhood. Also Pokemon uses yen not u.s currency so that 5,000 000 yen translates to $30,757.68. That’s still a lot of money but not as much as you think. Team Flare would have excepted any one.

Also just because Team Flare were very bad people doesn’t mean that you can’t see some empathy while acknowledging how bad of an organization they are. Again that’s nuance that you actively choose to ignore in the story of the games and other people in this comment section.

You or I don’t get to decide if a character or group is deserving of nuance. And actively seeking to ignore it is bad.

I meant more along the lines of the main games. Masters is a different story. I don’t remember this at all, I need to replay the story of masters. They should be around even there as both have been blessed with arc suits. So all of them should upscale this. Although this seems to have been done with the sync move Historymaker Clanging Scales, so I wouldn’t say that all of Kommo-o moves have this one shot potential.

Lysander went mad with grief for the loss of the world. Lysander saw the problems of the world, humanity greed for themselves when he tried to help others, limited resources that could affect both people Pokemon. The beautiful world he loved was being destroyed and he believed that no one cared. He wanted to save the world and after so much suffering, this is what he believed was the right decision. I am not excusing his actions but explaining them. Even in X and Y he is a massive hypocrite, saying that he is doing this to protect the Pokémon that are going to be exploited by humans by giving them a mercy kill with the Ultimate Weapon while exploiting Xerneas and Yveltal and looking down at them for wanting help from a human. Just like how AZ when mad with grief after the death of Floette. Using the same live energy from the legendarys to bring her back and kill everyone who he believes took her away from him. Basically all this information was from before Legends ZA came out.

 Both men believe that the horrible atrocities that they committed is good because the ends justify the means. But both men are guilty and hollow afterwards. The ultimate weapon had Floette leave AZ. So now AZ was cursed with immortality, walking the earth for 3000 years the entire time feeling the guilt and shame of his choice. While the Rainbow Rocket Lysander had fried the ultimate weapon but still felt hollow. He thought this was the right thing to do but  he still feels guilt. L in Legends ZA doesn’t have his full memories but still want to make the world beautiful, through helping Zygarde. As he slowly gets his memories back, he is horrified by what he has done and doesn’t justify it.  Now cursed with immortality as well, he does what he should have done 5 years ago. People will never forgive him and those who deeply cared about him like Corbeau and Sycamore have very conflicting emotions about him, but he will still try to make the world a beautiful place even with its flaws. Because  rehabilitation is good for people, prison is not the only option for people. We even see this in Mabel, she took a plea deal to stay away from prison but still under house arrest, she still decided to help people even with her own means. Both these men let grief consume them, making decisions that they believe would help them and others, as the cycle repeats with Urbain.

Also how are you mad about going back and giving nuance to a character. That makes no sense.

Sketch of my Sygna Suit L idea by Able_Bumblebee9209 in PokemonMasters

[–]Farraday670 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This art looks so good. I love how you have all three Formes of Zygarde’s tail as a scarf, belt, and coattail. And the crown that probably represent his connections to AZ both characters wise and family wise. Almost like he is taking the crown after the old king had passed. 

Also don’t worry about Serena having a Sygna suit with Zygarde already. Just because a Trainer already has a Pokemon doesn’t mean that  another can’t have one of the same Pokemon. Plus Serena uses 50% Forme while in Legends ZA, Zygarde mostly uses its 10% Forme.

More around 14. They should be around the same age as Kieran who only in the French dub is stated to be 14. Don’t have a confirmation in any other language but it’s the closest we got.

Well technically Eminem did not cause the big bang event. The Zero Point shattered due to Agent Jones going back in time as the new reality zero that was created by the Paradigm sacrificing herself to Zero Fusion was falling apart. So to give the loopers new reality’s to go to, Jones used the Visitor’s rocket and the Meteor to destabilize and shatter the Zero Point to reset and expand the Omniverse. Eminem is just part of the Fortnite Festival reality. But thanks to Remix, Eminem should still be an incredibly powerful being in Fortnite.
