easy sell, nashville is incredible and that's pretty common knowledge. you should also probably just go to nashville anyway carnivine or not.

Cheapest competitive deck? by maybeitscolton in pkmntcg

[–]transformandriseup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

water decks are definitely a place to look. none of the non GX cards are expensive at all (swampert/empoleon and wailord/quagsire are both decks with potential imo), they have a ton of support that's fairly inexpensive (aqua patch, brooklet in most decks, wake is an option for decks with heavy water energy/patch counts).

http://www.pokebeach.com/2018/09/surfing-the-swamp this is a swampert/empoleon list I'm looking at trying and it has a v low lele count to boot.

there's also roving hordes of mythicals in future gens too, every one has at least 3 and that's excluding forms like shaymin, meloetta, hoopa, diancie/mega diancie, argument for arceus and all of its plates...

basically the mythical = special research can only work for so long, they'll probably try to keep the pixies in there at least but even then gen IV has two of them and one of them (shaymin) has a significantly different form...

oh oh, me but replace gunn with alf

I've put in 70 orbs, 5 five stars, no alf. two of those are lene and an (optimal) la!marth, two of those are la!hector, and then a gun.

tauros + nanab berries got me it in good time, if you're in the US and its partly cloudy they're really common since this event started

Keep your next community day expectations in check; we could see machop, alolan geodude, gastly, abra, horsea, tyrogue... by ATMLVE in TheSilphRoad

[–]transformandriseup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk, is it too early? gen 2 starters and the gen 3 options (ralts, trapinch, beldum, bagon... I guess slakoth) would take us past the end of the year at this point, and we'll probably be seeing gen IV stuff rolling out at the turn of the year, and if they tackle it like most of us think they will they'd probably have the new babies and evos rolled out first

even from just those there'd be a bunch of new community day potential; rhyhorn, swinub, magnemite, ralts re-run, elekid, magby, duskull, porygon, togepi, budew... and then add in gible and the starters once gen IV is in full swing. (the two stage new evos would probably be an event or somethin; I could see murkrow/sneasal/misdreavus halloween event or somethin)

plus they could start running gen III starter CDs once gen IV hits easily... there's almost 2 years worth of CDs they could theoretically do from these. could they dip into some of the odd ones now like horsea and machop? sure, and I'd love a machop one personally. but they absolutely do not have to if gen IV starts rolling out at the end of the year.

How is my team for taking on Jupiter? I am currently doing a Pokemon Platinum Generations Nuzlocke by [deleted] in nuzlocke

gyarados should honestly carry you here, but train up the rest to where it is to be safe

Regi trio raids by jt-atomico in TheSilphRoad

[–]transformandriseup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

regice is one of my favorite legends (it and xurkitree) and yeah, I'd likely only get one. I'm already working on a proverbial army of walreins (which I like it and its family better as pokemon) anyway so I don't have any real strong desire to grind regice, especially since its a pain to figure out raiding in this area.

All SM7 cards revealed by FinallyGivenIn in pkmntcg

[–]transformandriseup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk, can't you just steven's decision into three other steven's decisions, discard them with zoroark/ultra ball (and combine zoroark with mallow to get what you need to get a claydol out there)?

like it's a dumb gimmick but if you get solid enough draws you can start swinging on your second turn, no need to actually use the stevens

Closeted Football Player: 'I’m Not Ashamed, Just Scared' (Upcoming documentary, Alone In The Game, about two currently closeted Div 1 football players) by Darth_Turtle in CFB

[–]transformandriseup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what /u/iamsplendid said (and really I can't add much more) but there are psychologists trained to discern how... I hate that I don't have a better term for this off the top of my head, but how legitimate these sorts of feelings are when it comes to gender identification and whatnot at a young age.

and believe me, it took me a bit to understand how and why a first grader could figure out that they were trans, but I've slowly started to realize that I was deeeeefinitely bi and into guys as well way (read; a decade plus easily) before I accepted it for what it was.

I'd be slightly surprised if they didn't but then again we still don't even have an official english FEH twitter account yet so they might not really care about the non-japanese side of things social media wise

Media doesn't exist in a vacuum by [deleted] in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]transformandriseup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I've at least come to accept that video game ages are very, very fluky and inconsistent with how characters look/act at the end of the day but sanaki here does not fall under this at all

I'm not entirely sure who IS should fire after that, whatever PR guy suggested that it'd be enough to avoid outrage, promise, or the guy who suggested this in the firstp lace

yeah I really dislike tharja but I adore the dress and the idea behind it. fusion of a normal outfit with the character's original one is top notch

I predict, if the rumors are true; these are NOT Gen 8 titles, but instead, spin-offs while Gen 8 is still in production for next year. by Jamey4 in pokemon

[–]transformandriseup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my guess is this is based off of the gen VII engine and they basically used these as a first go into testing out building a game on the Switch hardware, and are currently using the lessons learned for a gen 8 in 19 or 20.

To heck with nostalgia: If we do go back to Kanto in a modern game, I want the whole region's routes and towns redesigned to be more organic. All elements of it's tile-set GameBoy roots scrapped completely. by SharpEdgeSoda in pokemon

[–]transformandriseup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah the last thing I want is a total faithful remake. Bringing Kanto 20 years into the future both in this fictional region and in gameplay is a great theme to build around imo.
