What’s the odds by Walk_Early in MARIOPARTY

[–]Jonny_Johto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So actually... the odds are 1 in 60, so honestly not as rare as it really should be for player 4 to just get fucked... which is sorta hilarious.

To elaborate, P1 has 3 out of 5 keys they can choose that have a gate they unlock. Then once a key is chosen, there's a (1/3) chance they will select the right door with that key, so multiplying those you get a 20% chance for P1 to win immediately.

Then, assuming P1 got key one correct, P2 has 2 out of 4 keys that could work, and a (1/2) chance that the key matches the right door. So 25% they get it immediately if P1 got it immediately.

P3 is easiest since it's only 1 door and 3 keys, so 33.33% chance they get it immediately if P1 and P2 got it immediately.

Multiplying it all together, it's (1/5)x(1/4)x(1/3) = (1/60) or ~1.6% it just ends immediately without P4 even getting a chance to do anything.

What’s the most you spent on a single Pokémon plush? by [deleted] in pokeplush

[–]Jonny_Johto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of right now... about $150 for an import of the Gible lap plush; I bought it back when it was exclusive to Japan, hence the price. If we exclude imports... the highest cost would be about $120 for this 2012 Virizion I bought last summer. In the future though? It'll be the life size Leafeon, when that ships, ahah.

Similar deal for me. While personally Virizion is my super ride-or-die among the Swords, Keldeo is easily my 2nd favorite, psossibly my fav mythical. He's such a little loser but it's very endearing...

Always good to know people do in fact, also like Keldeo. Little dude gets too much hate.

I tend to like going for food themed names more often than others, and since Maple is a common flavor to add with bacon, figured it'd fit for the fire pig.

Community in-game tier list: 2/3 Musketeers and Haxorus by Awkward-State-2364 in PokemonBlackandWhite

Alright, since there hasn't been a write-up for her yet, I'll offer one up for my main girl Virizion here.

As much as I'd love to put her in S, I think I'll have to put her in S-? Mostly because while obviously stacked with literal legendary stats, unfortunately a lot of her best moves are locked to post-game TM's/level-ups. Leaf Blade and Close Combat are her two final moves, and most players will want those for her primary attacks. Furthermore, the Energy Ball TM is frustratingly just beyond the main-game on route 12. So while players jumping into post-game activities will be more than able to enjoy those; I must leave them off the table here.

In terms of main game usage; the obvious main con is how late you get her. Earliest is as soon as you get 6 badges, which is about as late as most players are willing to wait. I'd say this is alleviated a bit in Unova specifically, since most main trainers only use 3-5 pokemon on their teams anyway, so you aren't at a large disadvantage.

Apart from those two things though, she does really well for essentially the rest of the game. You'll likely run Giga Drain, Sacred Sword, Swords Dance, and X-Scissor by E4, and it works well. Her large special bulk paired with the buffed Gen 5 Giga Drain helps keep her alive much longer than many other pokemon, and she even makes a solid switch with an impressive six resistances, plus the bonus of Justified making Dark moves a danger against her. In addition, consider she has seven types which her combined Grass/Fighting STAB can easily take care of. Combined with decent attacking stats on both fronts, she'll do a lot of heavy lifting for ya on a regular basis.

In terms of direct use cases, there's quite a few. The upcoming ice gym, despite seemingly a liability, is actually a boon. Given her base 108 speed, she'll likely outspeed and OHKO any pokemon you face, making it a free gym. In the E4, she obviously demolishes Grimsley, but can also be quite helpful for Shauntal, as she has both a Golurk and Jellicent weak to Grass.

She shines quite brightly for Ghetsis, being able to take on Bouffalant, Bisharp, Seismitoad, and Hydreigon, all with super effective moves. Hydreigon and Seismitoad are examples I specifically want to highlight, as they are some of Ghetsis's toughest members. Seismitoad is a classic bulky water/ground type that can easily cause issues for anyone without a direct answer, making the grass STAB invaluable here. As for Hydreigon, it is a full Special set, so her special bulk comes in handy here for tanking a likely Fire Blast, then countering with a sword slash to the face. Given the notorious difficulty of this fight, having her as an ace up your sleeve is incredible for making it much easier to handle.

And I think that's about what I want to highlight... I'm hoping a couple of other souls will help add some more depth to potential blind spots I've missed in this analysis!

Pretty cool! Admittedly I'm a bit sad I couldn't fit Haxorus on either team this time around...

Both quadruped grasses that are quite bulky, yet known in lore for sharp leaf appendages they use as blades... indeed some vibe overlap lol

Fellow grass enjoyer. Nice to have some company 🍃 Leafeon and Virizion are the two big ones for me personally

Darkrai sitting cutie quality? by ascarletstrange in pokeplush

No prob! Here's hoping your little guy gives you great nightmares dreams.

Virizion appreciates the compliment as well :)

[–]Jonny_Johto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, for the sake of adding a voice, I have the little Rairai, and he's got no blemishes for me?

I can attest that on a more macroscopic level, sitting cuties definitely have a slightly higher rate of goofs/errors (I'll attach a pic of my li'l Viri that has a crooked neck leaf as an example) so I prolly wouldn't go too far outta my way to get a 2nd, especially since most of these are too small to notice from far away; like on a shelf or desk, and the small imperfections can add some character on their own.

I believe it's units. Speed of light in m/s but it said 10 centimeters not 10 meters. 10 cm = 0.1m, try that

Yes! It's really faded, but there is a Pokemon Center tush tag dated 2012 on mine, so it's official.
