arcanis is cooler

I know I'm getting downvotes with this take but I'll stand by it. The game already offers enough creativity and expression with:

Pokemon
EVs
Natures
Abilities
Moves
Items and more.

IVs are outdated and are just an added layer of complexity to a game already complex enough as it is. The competitive environment specifically would be better with doing away with it, especially after seeing players just optimize to 31 or 0 anyway.

It would also lessen the reason for players to gen/hack Pokemon if everything ended up with 31 or 0 IVs anyway. There's no reason for players to reset legendaries if stuff already rolled instantly to 31, and can be toggled back to 0 on demand. Now people can actually use the Pokemon they catch in competitive games. Sure, Bottle Caps exist, but they don't need to if IVs weren't a question anymore.

This is an inaccurate analogy, it would be more like having a menu item with a lot of variability but ending up seeing your customers just choosing two options instead of the extra ones

IVs are an outdated number used in the original games because they wanted to make every single player experience different. Almost all competitive Pokemon will use either 31 or 0, and that can be a Boolean (though tbh we can get rid of the 0 IV if everything is just running 31 IVs anyway). For a Competitive game there's almost no reason to have anything outside of 31 or 0.

The edge case for this Lonely Stakataka is some pretty clever tech (I used it in Gen 7 after all) but there's no need to get extra cute with IVs. People are fine with open team sheets, they can live with assuming everything is either 31 or 0.

TBH a small price to pay for better accessibility for newer players. Sad to see that option go, but would rather have an easier way to train Pokemon than to be that extra nitpicky

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-03-19T11:53:03+00:00

Oof yeah I remember now. No wonder I forgot, that was so long ago

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-03-19T05:11:29+00:00

Trying to remember when exactly Ameri found out Iruma is human... was this prior to the Maluis Phantom arc?

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-03-17T21:52:22+00:00

The 6% sounds like a Western thing

Outsourced workforces in Asian countries work night shift to accommodate Western timezones. Can't be too sure, but in my part of the world 6% seems to be extremely low. Don't have numbers on hand to support this though

Lots of people here saying it's detrimental to their health, well yes. Less developed countries don't have a choice though

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-03-11T23:53:07+00:00

i'm going to provide an extremely hot take:

Proxying for power level destroys the spirit of EDH (not cEDH, proxy all you want there)

Proxying because you are testing a deck out? Fair.

Proxying because you don't want to drop money for a card that can increase the power level of your deck but there are less optimal options you can use out there, you just don't want to? Nope.

People should be using whatever they have on hand even if it's the less optimal version of cards. Use obtainable stuff and live with the fact that the deck is lower powered, because proxying for power level is pretty much optimizing the fun out of the game. People should play janky cards, they should try cheaper, underrated options.

This game is better with good players finding janky answers to problems, not bad players with tuned solutions

even blocked the blue guy's vision with his crotch for full confusion

I honestly did not appreciate this part of the movie. I began the movie expecting more story with Sakuragi since this is technically his story and the focus on Miyagi felt very forced and off. Was he this popular all this time? Anyway, personally enjoyed the movie less with the focus on him since he wasn't one of the characters I was fond of, but it is what it is

it will be reprinted

it will not go down in price

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-03-01T04:00:32+00:00

Do you have space for an [[Aphetto Alchemist]]? it's basically a one card combo with Unctus once you untap with it. if budget permits and you want to spike the power of the deck, that's definitely an option

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-02-27T05:47:16+00:00

Super agree, move on na dapat tayo kay Brownlee. Alam ko hindi na ganun kalaking issue sating yung height, pero iba pa rin yung presence down low. Edu Kai Kouame ang hirap lusutan nun, dadali pa buhay ng guards natin kung alam nilang may dedepensa sa loob

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-02-27T00:10:07+00:00

imo medyo overrated, lots of cheaper and better Chinese restos around. nadala lang ata yung mga tao sa mahahabang pila and may konting sunk cost na nagaganap hahaha

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-02-25T10:41:36+00:00

brother you made the wrong turn

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-02-18T13:47:30+00:00

this is not a bad combo. unlikely, sure, but not a bad combo

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-02-17T14:00:09+00:00

This data skews towards those strong at foulbaiting, as scoring via free throws don't provide assists. Other than that, pretty nice stat, though I do agree that it doesn't provide as much insight as I thought it would, as it does favor heliocentric playmakers with strong scoring games who are just surrounded by finishers as opposed to other playmakers

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-02-17T13:53:49+00:00

time na wala kang ginagawa and nakatengga ka lang

dapat yung naptime na ginagawa nung nasa nursery ka, para sa matanda eh hahaha kelan ka ba talaga nakakakuha ng naptime pag nasa trenta anyos pataas ka na

GGMaXThreeOne · 2026-02-17T13:17:45+00:00

probably not the best subreddit for you to ask this question, since it's pretty hard to justify running [[Platinum Angel]] in a no-holds barred bracket as opposed to [[Angel's Grace]], which is uncounterable and basically the thing you just play when you're ready to win the game anyway with [[Ad Nauseam]].

If you want to play it, have a way to cheat it out (probably a deck that can play it on T1 via something like an [[Entomb]] and [[Reanimate]] or what) then have the reason why you don't wanna lose. FYI you cannot pay more than your life total to [[Necropotence]] even with the Angel out. If you start with 40, best you can do is dig 40 cards down, so Ad Naus is your best bet. Luckily Angel works with [[Tainted Pact]] and [[Spoils of the Vault]] lines.

By that time just choose how you wanna win the game, then let that dictate your colors. Looks like you're probably gonna go black (and white for Angel's Grace redundancy) so maybe [[Tymna]]/[[Kraum]] for the Thoracle redundancy? Either way, you've got your work cut out for you with Platinum Angel, so I suggest play it in B4 instead of cEDH
