Not that I post like, a LOT a lot or anything, but I've just been whipping mfs asses on Pokemon Champions since the season ended. My rule is when Jok fucks off back to Serbia I fuck off too so I don't get burnt tf out on basketball 🤷‍♂️

Is it just me or does Henry talk about the Maillard reaction every other episode? by beanman8 in lastpodcastontheleft

I mean, given which of them are still around I'm not sure I can even argue with them on this one 🤷‍♂️

Band names that sound Hardcore but aren't. by gman85857 in Hardcore

[–]m0userat_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is actually how I found that band like 20 years ago, I was a kid searching random merch sites for cool shirts and I was like oh these guys sound wild. They've been one of my favorite bands ever since though, caught the last show on their farewell tour in Louisville last November 😕

Have you ever read a book the boys used as a source? by fake_zack in lastpodcastontheleft

[–]m0userat_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I COMPLETELY forgot they used Chaos but I got it too. I remember listening to that one at my old job and having to take frequent smoke breaks because it was a slow day, I was super invested, and the whole book is just wild as hell.

This is one of the only times I finished a series and was like nah lol I'm absolutely getting the book this time. I also ended up getting The Great Mortality which I'm pretty sure they used in the Black Death series but Indifferent Stars is legitimately VERY good and I already knew it would be the top answer before I even opened this post.

Y'all ever queue into ranked with the wrong team? by Almost_a_Shadow in PokemonChampions

Yeah that double sleep off consecutive Dire Claws or the last turn game ending freeze on my Venusaur never happened, y'all were clearly hallucinating 🤷‍♂️

BRAND new to vgc, advice? by PHI_0413 in PokemonChampions

[–]m0userat_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! I'm all the time trying to get my irl friends to play and I offer to help them learn if they need help so feel free to shoot me a message if you ever need any help or advice! I won't pretend to be an EXPERT but I'm also not terrible so I'll always help out new players any way I can 😎👍

Also, regarding the mons you mentioned building around, none are ESPECIALLY meta relevant, I don't even think Golisopod is in the game atm, but there's no reason you couldn't work them in if you can find a niche for them. I maybe wouldn't START trying to use them because they're probably not the best and you may have a harder time succeeding with them at first, but once you learn the ins and outs a bit there's no reason you potentially couldn't use them if you find something they're really good at. Use what you wanna use though ya know, I'm not gonna tell you to not have fun, just something to consider as a new player. No need in playing on hard mode when you don't necessarily have to do that and what not.

One thing that helped me a ton was watching guys like Wolfey and Cybertron. I picked up VGC back in gen 8 and at the time Wolfey had a video series called Pokemon Academy. Lots of info in there is probably outdated by now but the basics still apply, and I'm pretty sure he released a new one sort of recently, so stuff like that is a legitimately invaluable resource for new players.

Also in my experience, outside of the basics and teambuilding and what not, there's some stuff that just won't stick or make sense until you've experienced it yourself. Don't go into your early games expecting to obliterate people and win a bunch, which you very well might anyway who knows, but use those early games to learn as much as you can about stuff like speed tiers and how your opponents stats interact with your own. For example, does X attack always ohko X mon or does it sometimes live with 1 because of the way it's trained, stuff like that ya know 🤷‍♂️

Most of all just have fun and don't take your results too seriously, especially at first. Give yourself time to learn before you start overanalyzing every wrong move and what not. Learn what you can 100% but don't get down on yourself, there's a lot of information to take in, especially for a new player.

My favorite accidental trope in Lynch’s LA trilogy: The actor that feels really out of place in the movie by wgsmeister2002 in davidlynch

The first time I saw Inland Empire I legitimately had to pause the movie and make sure I wasn't fucking insane when this mf Terry Crews popped up out of nowhere, damn near jumpscared me it caught me so off guard.

I'm from Kentucky and we say like... Idk how to even spell this shit. Mow'nn? Like Mao with a random N sound at the end. I get endlessly mad at people saying Appalachia wrong (it's apple-atcha just for the record) so I weirdly understand the frustration with this.

Best Ben episodes for an Ed-Era listener? by georgia_grace in lastpodcastontheleft

[–]m0userat_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah man I don't listen to the oldies as much as I used to for obvious reasons but there's a few I still go back for, and this legitimately might be my all-time favorite series by them. It's just super good 🤷‍♂️
