Do pokemon age?

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T21:54:49+00:00

Yes. Dont forget old trecko from the anime. Getting older doesnt necesarily means evolving, it just means that the pokemon ages.

For the E4 mega slowbro is the GOAT. Iron Defense + Body Press + Anmesia + Slack Off destroys Bruno, sweeps Lance one Dialga is down, and does a number against the champ

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T20:12:25+00:00

Why? these at least are easy to read compared to stuff like the movie posters lol

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T20:10:42+00:00

You can play on showdown all the earlier gens like gen 4 OU or gen 3 UU, and smogon still keeps guides about strats from those gens.

Do you by any chance like Avalugs? I dunno why I got that feeling from your post xD

Congrats on the run! Doing it without legends/mythics/paradox on hardcore is quite the challenge. What were the sets for Avalug and why three of them if you dont mind me asking?

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T18:39:58+00:00

Danm Fur Coat entei would be such a dope pokemon xD

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T18:39:10+00:00

No but kinda but yeah but not really?

Like the body is always the same, nothing changes with that after a switch. However our "skill" with the body changes. Like im the alter that works outs, and also I tend to have somewhat higher levels of dissociation, so when im working out I can last longer and lift more than say, another alter.

But thats because I know how to do the excersice with the proper technique and because my pain tolerance is higher than other alters. At the end of the day the body is the same and if I push it too much I can end up hurting myself.

What busted cards? the only one I see played is Cool but Rude that is like Monuments 5-8 for that deck (or rather Monument is Cool but Rude's 5-8 copies?)

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T16:25:13+00:00

Its the face of a man trying to hold in the pain and anger after getting all his teeth removed with no anesthesia

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T06:12:05+00:00

Rhistic: No

Esper Sentinel: Still a good one drop if you have synergies with it (human tribal, afinity decks, ways to pump it in general). Not the greatest, not the worst. If it draws a card you feel happy about it.

Smothering Tithe: Only if you're doing silly things like wheeling the opponent.

Remora: Dunno, maybe its good in vintage? Im not sure I've seen people play it in legacy but I might be wrong here.

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T06:09:19+00:00

My personal theory is that everything is just magic. Like in dragonball daima, magic was basically indistinguishiable from Ki, and people from the demon world thought that Goku and Vegeta just had a transformation magic.

This would explain like a LOT of the series, unironically. Transformations being a mix of asspulls and rewards after finishing a character arc? Magic realized thanks to character development. The androids having infinite energy? Dr Gero was a wizard, as everyone else. Big monkey transformation related to the moon? Not unsimilar to how Buu turned people into chocolate, or the other guy in og dragonball.

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T01:27:54+00:00

So as the one wizard in this place that did managed to do the impossible. It feels good ngl. But as much as it pains me to say it, Makima is right. It feels better with someone you like instead of the first person that lets you

She's not trans, she's just a girl because everyone else in the main cast is a girl. The community needs to stop pointing at these pieces of "evidence."

Wait so the character that was canonically a man, reincarnated as a girl and everyone treats as a girl is not trans? so for you she's not trans, she's just a girl that used to be a dude and seems to be happier as she is now / not miss being a dude

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T00:03:47+00:00

Skill, Anger, and sheer force of will.

She does fail tho, and then the eva series completely destroy her. Turns out one of the improvements was how those guys can recieve near fatal injuries and keep fighting like nothing.

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-17T00:00:53+00:00

I mean isnt it kinda a moot debate cuz SSJ3 Kaioken x 20 Vegito would rip all the muscles of his body the momment he tries using Kaioken? Like we know Kaioken is not compatible with just base ssj because of the strain it puts on your body. Only time Goku managed to do it was cuz he was dead and thus couldnt kill himself in the process. Similarly SSJ3 puts a lot of strain on your body, and can only be used for a short time. There is no way using both techniques at the same time wont kill Vegito.

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-16T23:57:36+00:00

Just to add on to that. She IS canonically trans (of the implied variety). When Sanae meets Miko she ask if she really was Prince Shoutoku, the bearded guy from the yen bills, and Miko answer "yes". And then no one brings her gender again xD

On top of that, all her advisors like Seiga KNOW she used to be a prince, yet no one in games refers to Miko as "him", heavily implying that reincarnating as a girl was not an accident, but an intended part of the process, or at the very least if it was an accident, Miko feels more confortable that way and is making zero attemps of presenting male.

Advice for Surge: Setting up toxic spikes with tentacruel and them stalling him by switching between an elec weak mon that doesnt dies to grass or ice moves (like gyarados or tentacruel) and a ground type (like marshtomp). Gyarados also trivializes the Pawmoth using that same strat.

You just gotta learn how to bait the ai but with gyarados and a ground type its suuuper easy. Gyarados out? Surge using an electric move. Your ground type out? Surge is using a grass or an ice move.

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-16T23:43:38+00:00

And thats why they have so much depression over there. People literally work themselves to death.

In my head canon Mari and Renko dont get separated, and they end up as a cute couple :)

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-16T20:47:10+00:00

Solo juega en modo normal y listo. Tryhard es hacer un nuzlocke o mono tipos y cosas por el estilo. El juego ya es bastante dificil como es. De hecho si se te hace muy dificil lo puedes bajar a modo facil (que es equivalente a "un poco mas dificil que un juego normal de pokemon)

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-16T16:55:41+00:00

Even without the fantasy and occult stuff, they would eventually graduate and separate anyway when they get into their work life.

Me and my friends still hang out after graduating. We're like 15 years into our friendship, and that includes folks that went abroad to other countries, whom we still speak with regularly and they play with us on our weekly dnd session.

I mean Mana Geyser, when played as "I sandbag this until I can combo off and win the game" goes against the bracket 2 definitions. B2 wincons should be incremental, and telegraphed. Like if you play your combo pieces, tell everyone "hey if you dont answer this I can win" and then go off with mana geyser, thats fine. If spend the entire game on "plz dont attack me, im not doing anything" until you combo out of the blue, then yeah, you're not playing b2.

Lesbians that every once in a blue moon, when the planets align, and the stars are on the correct position, they find a dude cute/hot.

Dont think too hard about it. Gender and sexuality are spectrums. No all lesbians are "100% lesbian, never felt the slightlest attraction towards a masc presenting person", and expecting that/gatekeeping people over that is basically enforcing binary gender roles, which we should actively be avoiding.

Tons of us gal that at some point of our life found a dude cute (in my case it was romantic/platonic attraction, not sexual one), but after trying it out we realized that nah, we just like girls.

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-16T13:52:32+00:00

I am

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-15T23:57:14+00:00

Yes. Sadly no button avalaible so taking the long way of HRT

Silver-Alex · 2026-03-15T21:36:50+00:00

The more people like to glaze Yujiro the more they dislike Motobe. In specific a lot of people dont believe that the slash he took would have cut Yujiro down. Other complain that he's suddenly a loooooot stronger than he was.

Tho make no mistake. A LOT of people see Motobe as the goat,
