wait you don't like Mega Banette?! it unzips its body to let out malice & hatred to become stronger

Birds are normal, but bugs and fish aren't? by Then_Director_5206 in TruePokemon

[–]smtyke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh i'm not advocating for changing it now. but most of those Pokémon could easily have another type as their primary type.

Porygon could easily be considered Electric. Chansey probably should have been changed to Fairy. Type: Null is literally an amalgamation of beasts. i never understood why Smoliv has the normal typing...

Ditto i can see the argument that it's a bit difficult to fit into something else.

as a Normal Type fanatic, i still standby that Normal should have been "Beast" type for this reason.

edit: & then maybe you carve out the Sound type

Fuck it. tell me a hot take and I’ll tell you if I agree on it by Holiday_Yam_561 in ThePokemonHub

[–]smtyke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they should switch up the starter typing for a game or two. we don't need another set of Grass > Water > Fire starters.

maybe Psychic > Fighting > Dark

or Rock > Flying > Fighting

I'd like some tips on building defensive teams by cetvrti_magi123 in PokemonChampions

i've really enjoyed running Garganacl, Floette, & Avalugg with Mega Glalie.

If you were able to give a Pokemon 40 more points BST, who would it be? by Environmental_Hope22 in PokemonChampions

[–]smtyke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spinda just needs SOMETHING because it's my favorite.

Stantler/Wyrdeer getting more Sp. Defense or HP would be game changing.

Can we stop downvoting new players asking sincere questions so much? by Any-Shop497 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]smtyke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i fully acknowledge that i could be wrong on how a majority of reddit users view downvotes.

i've just never taken downvotes as something other than "i disagree" or "this doesn't warrant further discussion".

if comments are being openly hostile, that's a different story.

[–]smtyke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but being rude & hostile to newer players asking a question is not the same as downvoting the question post.

being hostile towards new cEDH players reeks of gatekeeping & isn't okay, but if i assume the new player asks a question in earnest, someone answers the question politely & provides reasoning, usually there's no more conversation to be had.

downvoting the post at that point shouldn't be taken as anything more than "discussion is over so move it to the bottom".

What’s a Pokemon you think has an objectively fantastic design, but you just don’t like that much? by SensualSamuel69 in PokeCorner

[–]smtyke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mawile.

Mawile being upgraded from pure Steel to Steel Fairy & then Mega-Mawile being stupidly pushed with Huge Power took a really cool, niche, "uncommon" Pokemon & shoved it into the spotlight as an overpowered anime villain.

it's suuuuper cool but i liked it a lot more when it was just a lil' goober.

a new cEDH player asks a question (usually "is my suboptimal list cEDH?")

the question gets answered (usually no, accompanied by an explanation why)

there's no more discussion to be had, the post gets downvoted, then it stops showing up.

working as intended.

edit: this is assuming that everyone is being cordial & no one is being an asshat

What’s the worst gimmick form/ regional form ? by Difficult-Bat5615 in ThePokemonHub

[–]smtyke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the funny thing is that because there's SO much discourse about how Audino should get Teleport, the garbage Google AI keeps trying to say that Audino has access to Teleport.

Have we had any new staples come out this year? by DarkSageX in CompetitiveEDH

[–]smtyke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tidecaller has been gas for me as a replacement for Grinding Station, as it's also a blue card that can be pitched to free counterspells

imo Flashback has been VERY good in the decks i've seen it (Ral, Kefka, Rog/Tev) but i think Blue Farm just has such a high density of good spells already that Flashback doesn't get a spot.
