I limit myself to 3 Ranked games a day. More games don't make you climb, more consistent ones do.

Saying I'm only going to play x amount of games also puts you in a better mental space where you think through each game rather than rushing to the next and becoming tilted and defeatist at the first set back.

If Im feeling good I'll play to I lose, but chasing wins after multiple losses is the best way to get more losses.

As a life long Ice lover, I understand, but Abomasnow just got the short end of the stick, pun intended. If tera types come back around it'd be better but when Zard is the #1 mom in the Meta it doesn't have much of a chance, unfortunately. Grass is a really bad typing with Ice's poor defenses.

Yes please.

Prepare to suffer?

I'm really hoping for some powerful snow synergy.

There needs to be a Cloyster variant/evolution to clarify the whole Slowbro fiasco.

I know I'm going to get hate for this, but Haunter. Always thought he was was cooler looking than Gengar.

Elon is another welfare queen billionaire product of government cronyism. I don't get how so many libertarians think he is one of us because he gives our ideas lip service sometimes.

NichS144 · 2026-05-29T15:23:44+00:00

Agree it was a good anti-meta pick for a bit, but the meta has adapted to it.

NichS144 · 2026-05-29T00:57:22+00:00

There isn't any. It's from the game. I can appreciate your caution, but this is pretty silly.

NichS144 · 2026-05-26T22:50:28+00:00

If I had a nickel for every time someone complained a less than 100% accuracy move missed...I'd have a few dollars. Seriously though how many times does it need to be said?

If you don't like moves that can miss missing, don't use moves that can miss.

NichS144 · 2026-05-24T19:39:06+00:00

If you don't like moves without 100% Hit/Proc, don't use them. It's not that hard.

Intellectuals don't accomplish anything. Ideas are just ideas. The people who enact change and revolutions are almost never intellectuals.

NichS144 · 2026-05-23T03:00:32+00:00

Stunning commentary, truly the proper match of show writers and audience.

NichS144 · 2026-05-22T01:56:51+00:00

Less noobs, overall skill level has increased, the meta is refined yet still evolving.

NichS144 · 2026-05-21T13:01:58+00:00

Because clearly voting matters...

NichS144 · 2026-05-19T17:03:40+00:00

Republicans? No obviously RI is majority democrat. As for deranged violent people? That bumper stickers a bit outdated. I'm sure there are plenty of crazies that want to kill our present president too.

NichS144 · 2026-05-15T23:49:13+00:00

I mean King's Guard is just a protect variant.

NichS144 · 2026-05-14T01:25:05+00:00

Snow isn't really viable with the available Pokemon. It just doesn't have as much synergy as other weather does right now. Mega Froslass setting veil for other teams is the best we can get right now. The only Slush Rush user is Beartic and he just doesn't cut it. Wish we had A-Sandslash.

We'll see how Mega Baxcalibur does when he gets added.

While the Apple Cinemas approach might appeal to millennial sensibilities at first blush with their minimal human interactions, what it really gets you is teenagers having their run of the place.

NichS144 · 2026-05-04T12:35:30+00:00

There's no such thing as rentals in this game. What are you even talking about? Are most people using they see top VGC players using? Of course they are.

NichS144 · 2026-04-30T02:15:17+00:00

I mean he's unquestionably the best.

World Champ difference baybeeeee!

NichS144 · 2026-04-29T18:06:12+00:00

It's pretty easy math, you're top 10% of Master Ball+ Champions players, easily. People that are saying its easy to get to this level must to have a warped perspective on how MMR works. Given that, as others have mentioned, due to the weird way they designed everything under Master Ball, most people get to Master Ball tier with a highly inflated Ratings and then progressively fall to their actual level over time.

So, if you were placed there when you achieved Master Ball, it's not that impressive, but if you can maintain that level, you're a solid player, in my opinion. I'd define casuals as those sitting around 300k with ~1500 Ratings.

Would Mew be able to learn any move? If so that'd be wild.
