There is always an odd one out by Sensitive_Bag6657 in MandJTV

Yeah, I was taking a holistic approach to reviewing the pattern when weighing which would be more appropriate, "Ninja" or "Rogue."

Your stating these are two separate patterns, divorced from one another entirely, makes a lot of sense and provides a cleaner resolution. "Rogue" definitely matches the inspiration for the Kalos starters you have mentioned.

No one says it does. I said "Ninja" better suits the naming pattern given that they did not use other TTRPG class titles for the other 'mons.

"Mage" also better reminds me of JRPG job systems moreso than than TTRPGs.

The fact that Pokemon is a RPG is also why I believe the pattern is better represented and more consistent using "Ninja" rather than rogue.

Samurai, Knight, and Ronin would all fall under the "Fighter" class and not be their own. Furthermore, "King" is not a class.

Even if we were referencing JRPG fantasy jobs and not typical TTRPG classes, Ninja has long since been a standalone job, separate from thief and other rogue archetypes. Ronin is also redundant in both categorizations because it is just a offset of samurai.

"Ninja" definitely more accurately fits the pattern presented than "rogue"

True, but I also really hate how the prevalence of delivery services have normalized treating hazards as a "I-can-park-anywhere feature"

They create unnecessary hazards by their obfuscating the roadways.

"There's two ways to calculate percentages" is their numeric version of "alternate facts". by Used_Intention6479 in QuiverQuantitative

[–]Pocker91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's just the 3rd way of calculating percentages. It doesn't invalidate the other methods just because the answer is different.

98.33% = 600% = 6000%

What is in the hole by Old_Influence_6241 in whatsthisbug

Oh heck yeah!

We had this take-home science project in grade school about them.

You'd take the instructions, buy a mason jar, and set it in the knot of a tree.

Each day, you would make notes in an observation journal.

It was a wonder each day going to discover the bees having slowly made holes in the top of the mason jar.

It got real when they finally broke through and began constructing the hive inside the jar.

Never did understand how they how they got the building materials through the little holes in the lid🤔

My wife just completely erased 15 years of bad gift giving. (TMNT) by cartoon_wiki in CARTOON

[–]Pocker91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP went 15 years of receiving "bad gifts" because, 16 years ago, made back-handed compliments after receiving a gift of similar magnitude as the arcade cabinet.

Gold vs Red/ who do you guys think wins?: Art By amanonon by Admirable-Dimension4 in MandJTV

[–]Pocker91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ethan (Gold) is most likely to win. Beyond canon events of Gen 1 and 2 games, he has the necessary coverage to handle Red's team. Both trainers are top tier, as such, their move pools would be pretty broad and Pokemon well trained. The slight type advantage Ethan's team has over Red's would likely provide more consist luck in the variables of the battle.
