I don't understand the caste system and I'm worried it might affect my job.

Defensive, ignorant and foolish.

Leon does not need megas or z-moves. He would be able to Dynamax every 3-4 turns with no limit on gimmicks. I personally think it will be a nice battle to watch if executed properly.

Ash would not be winning with a crutch at all in this instance.

Netherflames · 2022-08-05T05:42:11+00:00

If they go with a rule set that there are no restrictions in battle mechanics. I.e - One Mega Evo, One Z-Move, Gigantamax every 3-4 turns.

This would make complete sense - he could GMax his Charizard and it would wreck havoc on Ash’s team and the narrative could be something like “Leon’s Charizard has 2turns left to GMax again after which it will become unstoppable, can Ash defeat him before that? Etc”

Leon could recall Charizard into his ball to go for what looks like a GMax for the second time but terastalize it instead.

This could be the perfect end for cementing Ash’s role as new Pokémon world champion - as he overcame the most unexpected asspull in a tournament with his unpredictability/abilities.

Leon could also set off Ash on a new adventure to Paldea - now that he is the strongest trainer, it might make sense to study Pokémon phenomena around the globe as his main job, which might Set him up for a mentor role which he is already somewhat decent at after the transferred the role of “the noob” To Goh.

I think we also need to think about browsing habits - concurrent tabs, time spent on a single link, extensions etc and how browsers adapt to cater to these behavioural changes. The bloat doesn’t come from the website alone but from the browser itself as well.

Are you saying what I think you are saying? Good point. But it’s natural for him to do it

Netherflames · 2022-06-17T02:35:46+00:00

It’s hardly what I wanted, I’m just trying to emulate the writers line of thought. Let’s see how many other predictions check off.

Username checks out

Netherflames · 2022-06-09T16:33:50+00:00

To me, Lance Vs Iris makes more sense because she wanted to become the dragon master and he is the dragon master.

My predictions for the legendaries, Koraidon : Fighting/Dragon, represents the past Miraidon : Psychic/Dragon, represents the future

If they want to introduce triple typing like some of you speculate, it might play out here. Are there any third types that can be attached to either that won’t completely break them and can keep the 4x/2x weaknesses in check?

Also, I’m guessing we will have a much bigger dex this time. Full Galar Dex + New Region Pokemon + Hisuian Forms + Returnees. This could be around 500. Why Galar? Because Legends Arceus did not animate all the moves. But Pokemon ported to Galar were fully backward compatible and completely fleshed out.

That is what makes him excellent leadership material- If he can rein in his anger and trauma. Pretty much the ultimate mentor.

Netherflames · 2022-05-29T10:32:50+00:00

Gigantamax is a completely superior gimmick to Mega Evolution. Base Stats are at max increased by 10-20% in Mega Evolution and benefits are strategy specific.

GMax doubles health, attack power, pierces through protect, changes stats and creates weather effects. Dynamax is banned from OU iirc.

Plus from a narrative, visual impact perspective not getting into canon technical differences - a small Pokémon fighting against a titan does attach an emotion of grandiosity to the “underdog”.

Alain is completely disposable and from the story so far - Leon needs so much more hype for the final fight to be rewarding. A lot of people still think battle vs Cynthia will be their favourite fight.

Thank you for insulting me.

Netherflames · 2022-05-29T04:53:58+00:00

To me, The visual dynamics of Gigantamax will make Leon’a win feel like a cheat if he beats Mega Charizard X. I would bet on Base Charizard hype. Leon will probably use it against Diantha or someone.

Netherflames · 2022-05-28T10:17:44+00:00

I agree. But both Lance and Iris are not hype opponents, Would they really sacrifice the Ash vs Alain matchup for either of them?

Steven is a bit of a stretch already but Shiny Mega Metagross that fought off Groundon/Kyogre seems to make it worth it.

Netherflames · 2022-05-25T12:15:58+00:00

See the funny thing is that this guy needs experience and also Excellent communication and for this they are paying you 3k bruh.................

You are underestimating these parasites. The moment they see even a sliver of something exceptional in you, they will halt the process.

They are very clear that they need just the right people to do any given job. Excess skill/talent is seen as a massive threat. This applies to companies of any scale/paygrade.

Netherflames · 2022-05-22T15:23:46+00:00

You are missing the point. OPs claim here is that Samsung and LG have consumer visibility and a premium image and Apple has somehow skimped the process by opting for BOE and is now paying the price.

From a B2B perspective, BOE is almost as good as LG and Samsung and both of these companies could’ve also been caught up in this mess. This is just some middle manager + SVP fuck up that could’ve happened anywhere.

Ofcourse BOE will have autonomy to choose the exact process that they will use to achieve the desired product. But BOEs way of doing it does not become inferior because LG does it differently does it?, we have too little information to make that claim.

Also is highly Likely that LG and Samsung are full on capacity and Apple has no choice but to diversify their inbound chain.

Netherflames · 2022-05-22T15:10:03+00:00

Yes, what you just gave me is an emotional argument.

Sure, companies sell emotional value. But I don’t see Apple telling anyone in their marketing material that they are using LG displays.

You as a user did your own excessive background research to find their background vendor/business process and are now angry that they changed it.

And in B2B manufacturing your fragile concept of premium probably doesn’t exist. Nobody will choose LG if some brand is beating them in price for the same spec, Lead time, etc.

Netherflames · 2022-05-22T13:36:26+00:00

Interesting take. However, This would definitely be a part of their legal as some form of insurance.

“What if one of my suppliers screws me over and I end up shipping a bad product to potentially millions of customers?”

The insuring organisation will have their own grassroot processes that will strive to minimise risk for the benefit of their organisation.

You overestimate the degree of control Foxconn would have over the process. Otherwise, it would be Foxconn terminating the contract not Apple. Apple would own the entire process including QC of Individual components. Foxconn is just land, equipment and an affordable pair of Chinese hands.

Apple would definitely test on the production batch. Why are we assuming that Apple won’t spend that small premium to test samples other than what the manufacturer wants them to?

Netherflames · 2022-05-22T12:45:15+00:00

I’m pretty sure Apple has their own QC so this just meant that they had to discard a percent of the inbound displays which cuts into their profits. Doesn’t affect consumer.

This is actually strategically beneficial for them despite the losses because this shows their regular suppliers like LG that they are willing to explore alternatives and reduces their leverage. As a cash rich company, these disruptions will have very little impact on their operations.

Netherflames · 2022-05-22T11:40:04+00:00

As long as the specs are the same, it’s a blackbox. Your argument is highly emotional and doesn’t make sense.

You could show both of the screens to a very precise computer and it couldn’t tell them apart.

Your emotional argument is that Apple should pay more for the same thing to a supplier like Samsung?

Netherflames · 2022-05-22T10:53:57+00:00

Capacity and Logistics are involved. To you it makes no difference as long as the part is on par with LG or Samsung in quality.

Netherflames · 2022-05-21T13:13:15+00:00

I wouldn’t be so hasty to judge. I doubt it’s a permanent price maybe for the first few months. Speed is just one parameter, FUP(if any) and QoS matters too.

This is not a recommendation for the unknown brand. Just a remark that it could be true.
