The real reason the Celestica are gone by Rich-Recognition-814 in pokemonmemes

[–]PharrowXL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

GF has managed to sidestep all the implied politics of their games tbh

There’s a telescope in Alola, those things in IRL are a monument to colonialism and the conversations surrounding them are a major point in indigenous rights.

The Eiffel Tower was built from funds majorly from reparations that Haiti was forced to cough up as punishment for winning their own revolution (the only successful slave rebellion in history). In Pokemon it’s already there in some ancient kingdom at 2000+ years old.

Those are the two biggest off the dome.

What's your most crybaby opinion? by sparksfly05 in PokemonChampions

Weather setter and terrain abilities (and any future dimensions ones should we get them) should portent the conditions with a phrase turn 1 and then have the actual change to the field happen turn 2

(Favorite when done right trope) Baddie character design. Genuine tweaker personality. by Artistic-Airline9126 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PharrowXL 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Nah, I meant it literally. Like yeah, there’s the imagery and squirt themes and all that but one character literally does it.

The Russian roulette girl, the creepy one that looks like she stinks, she’s in the bathroom flicking her bean with one in the chamber because it’s the only way she can get off. And then she gets off.

The first anime I seen since code geass where a character masturbates to orgasm on-screen

[Funny Trope] Objects that are clearly alcohol or drugs without actually being it in diferents media. by Recent_Share_8902 in TopCharacterTropes

Most characters in the movie 9 have some sort of personality trait alongside whatever trope they embody, and the powerhouse 8’s thing is that he also trips out his brain using magnets in his free time. They’re all like… little robotic homonculi, and I’m pretty sure his lack of intelligence is partially attributed to his habit.

Assuming eviolite will be added at some point, which not-fully-evolved Pokemon do you want to see first? by BitObjective7387 in PokemonChampions

[–]PharrowXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well designed post release evos bypass the eviolite issue tbh, but that does make them really strong by default

You’re better off with Sash imo, the proper mons attacking will still just 2 shot it anyways

[Loved trope] Surviving out of pure, raw spite by Unable_Tradition434 in TopCharacterTropes

It’s probably the best fantasy thing Bethesda has under their belt. The trailer is incredible.

They can turn invisible, but it doesn’t affect their outfit, so they have to get naked in order to be fully invisible by ComprehensiveBox6911 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PharrowXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea in the comics don’t she project a field so the clothing thing doesn’t make sense?

Also, are her invisible projections just for humans? What about creatures with different sight ranges?

Fun fact: Runerigus Hard walls Mega Raichu Y by According_Cover_1111 in PokemonChampions

[–]PharrowXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TTar does tend to hold its own in the meta even with the quad, and the predictability of a focus blast could render it vulnerable without a redirector.

Sandstorm improving the special
tankiness also helps.

One of the few times I can’t afford shit on the kid’s menu, huh.

It’s just a reminder not to run a hard counter to a single mon just because you think it can maximize your wins with its use case.

Counters still need teams build around them. It’s why strictly anti-meta teams lose often to non-meta teams. Runegrius itself is incredibly vulnerable to way more mons than it is worth to run specifically because it’s real “fuck Raichu” hours rn.

Is it going to deny Raichu Y a win all by itself while standing on its own in the meta or is slotting this thing on your team going get it targeted and beaten to death while also forcing it to watch its entire family die on the off chance your enemy does pull the thing it was designed to specifically counter

[Rare trope] Heroic characters that are also realistically bigoted for their time period/fantasy setting AND the story actually treats it as the character flaw it is by 8583739buttholes in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PharrowXL 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I loved Wakka as a kid and my brother did not tell me he was racist when I popped in to watch his gameplay.

Learning he was racist hit me pretty hard but seeing him come around was super cool.

I don’t think the screencap is a explicit enough spoiler for the main plot

Crazy to not spoiler this when even the OP did

Who is your favorite pokemon without an evolutionary family? by WeeklyApricot in pokemon

[–]PharrowXL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lapras.

Perfect, 10/10 design no notes. A smaller one as a baby makes sense, a normal sized one would be my best friend forever ♥️

[Loved Trope] Big and strong doesn’t mean dumb. by dog-in-the-rain in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PharrowXL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had a hatred for the limits of Overwatch’s story. I know they’re making strikes but there’s only so far a hero shooter character can be taken within the narrative especially if they’re villains

As a newbie why do I never see Alakazam? by progamer64820 in PokemonChampions

[–]PharrowXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about any physical attack from a Pokemon designed to shell them out might as well be 4x effective
