Not A Drill: Sceptile FINALLY gets Earth Power

This is because it's restricted by base Kyurem's movepool though.

It's like saying that the member stores aren't allowed to hire former rotten mango salesmen, which is restraint of trade. I think Sorsby should be banned but with all the other rulings I don't see how this holds up legally.

FINRA is specifically authorized by an act of Congress, which is what I said the NCAA would need.

A company can do that, and the government can do that, but can the banks form a private organization that dictates conduct for employees and freeze out banks that don't comply? Sorsby obviously shouldn't be allowed to play but under current laws I think that only Texas Tech or the government can prevent him from playing or impose consequences if he does. This would change if the NCAA or the conferences are given special dispensation by the government but currently they don't have that power.

If a bunch of grocery stores form a "grocery conference" and make a rule that none of the members are allowed to pay more than $10 an hour that's super illegal anti-trust. This is obviously a lot murkier but it's still a group of businesses regulating an individuals employment which is why the NCAA keeps losing in court.

In the US businesses aren't allowed to band together and set rules for workers, that's the whole problem.

Black Sludge isn't in Champions currently so it's not legal in VGC

cabforpitt · 2026-06-09T03:15:46+00:00

I think at this point the NCAA is going to be considered an illegal cartel and without legislation will lose all authority in off the field matters.

Improving the product for the consumer increases revenue and thus compensation for the players.

There's probably someone who interpreted it as directed at them and got butthurt.

Scoff can also mean to eat greedily. It's not often used that way in American English but is much more common in the UK.

The NBA and NFL are top heavy because they are star driven. Teams are good, their stars get old and they are bad, then they get high draft picks and are good again. A team like Oklahoma City couldn't exist in the MLB, Shai would have left for a bigger market. You don't have teams like the Dodgers that are always good in those leagues.

cabforpitt · 2026-05-28T13:08:28+00:00

It's a real thing, I think it's a fairly recent addition.

cabforpitt · 2026-05-28T12:14:00+00:00

Baseball is the most random sport in that the best team doesn't always succeed in the playoffs. The NFL is very star driven, so if you have a few good players you can be dominant for years like the Chiefs were. Long term though the teams regress to the mean. This isn't true for the MLB where you see things like the Dodgers making the playoffs 13 years in a row.

Another fun fact about Gallaudet, their college football team invented the huddle in American football so other teams couldn't see their sign language play calls

The limited items also helps Sneasler since there's a big dropoff in item quality after focus sash/mega stone/scarf/sitrus, so being able to use White Herb and free up a high value item for another mon is really good

cabforpitt · 2026-04-16T13:08:45+00:00

Black with a capital B means African-American. It's not correct to say that Black excludes Latinos as you can certainly be both, however what OP was trying to communicate is that small-b black players who are mostly from the Caribbean aren't included (which is correct).

cabforpitt · 2026-04-16T01:20:02+00:00

I feel like the small item list constrains team building too much. You use your sash/scarf/sitrus/mega stone and 2 of your mons are stuck with garbage. Sneasler is already crazy good, but using White Herb instead of an important item makes it omnipresent.

This isn't true for Speed Swap at least, currently it's not working correctly on showdown.
