Cynical Avocado's Absolutely Admirable Accumulation of Random Bantering #165

[Rae Artemi]

No, but imagine if the shippers hear it! Speaking of shipping, Vetinari TOTALLY has a crush on Vimes. Unrequited love, obviously.

Speaking of shipping, I hope Blue likes blondes with your new hair color.

Raecorp, for all your Stand-In Lix needs!

*Flees!*

[MoonCat]

You do realize that you're the only one talking about the shipping right now, right? Almost as if you want to get shipped...

Your life really is surreal. I envy you, kind of.

It's reflexive by now! I'm a knee-jerk anti-BlueCatist!

Yes, it's fun, but my point is that bit WASN'T surreal. Waking up in the morning with different colored hair and then seeing the same exact color on the brand new avatar of a friend is however.

Speaking of shipping, I hope Blue likes blondes with your new hair color.

Oh goddammit.



Blue, remember the color my hair was? Well now it's the same shade as August's avvie's. HUGE change.

[AsteriskAmp]

Yes, it's fun, but my point is that bit WASN'T surreal. Waking up in the morning with different colored hair and then seeing the same exact color on the brand new avatar of a friend is however.

I hope you awaken with a blue hair...

[Blue Ghost]

If you've ever traded over the GTS odd are that isn't necessarily true.

Oh. Right. Yes, chances are my shiny Suicune was hacked.

Speaking of shipping, I hope Blue likes blondes with your new hair color.

Raecorp, for all your Stand-In Lix needs!

*Flees!*

Hey Luna, shall we take him down?
*chases*

[MoonCat]

I hope you awaken with a blue hair...

Me too, I've been wanting to dye it blue but I can't find ANY dye anywhere that is even remotely close to what I want. Most of it is party dye too.

Hey Luna, shall we take him down?
*chases*

I corner him in an alleyway, Absolmorph will know what I'm talking about.

[Blue Ghost]

Me too, I've been wanting to dye it blue but I can't find ANY dye anywhere that is even remotely close to what I want. Most of it is party dye too.

I can't really picture you with blue hair, for some reason.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Maybe we'll all wake up with blue hair.

[MoonCat]

I can't really picture you with blue hair, for some reason.

I know, that's why I want to dye my hair. Neither can I, and I think it would be cool to stand out a bit.

[Skeppio]

I can't really picture you with blue hair, for some reason.

I saw someone with blue hair once. It looked so cool. o.o

[AsteriskAmp]

Contrary to popular believe dye colours CAN be mixed, and with experimentation you may reach the desired colour, or, like my grandmother, bright greeen...

[Tragic_Comedian]

But blue is a primary color...

[AsteriskAmp]

But blue is a primary color...

Yes, but she probably doesn't want actual pure blue but a modified hue/saturation/lightness of it.

[Skeppio]

I have no qualm with only legal pokemons, I happily play against gamers with teams built on pokesav, I have no issue unless a sudden Wonder Guard Spiritomb appears. The reason I do breed them is that most tournaments ask for legitimate pokemons which by definition are not ARed.

Yeah, those guys have pretty much soured any good reputation legal ARers had. And I agree the hackers who make mons that are just illegally strong or outright break the game are most likely the majority.

Glad you have no problem with legal AR mons in a regular match though. Apologies for getting a bit heated.

[Rae Artemi]

I corner him in an alleyway, Absolmorph will know what I'm talking about.

Oh, you silly. I can walk through walls.

Hey Luna, shall we take him down?
*chases*

And we've already established that you can't hold me. So I guess I win. Or lose. Whichever case it is. One step closer to being able to hand over a bright, shiny canon Bluecat to Lixie...

I can sympathize
Although there is quite a bit of fun seeing someone sulk over the death of their Wonder Guard Poisoned Sableye.

No issue, you should have seen me in my first ever tournament when mentioning how I got a right natured Dialga without having to commit suicide and reincarnate into Shigeru Miyamoto.

So you're not just doing this for the lulz? Now I know. How am I to use this knowledge to my advantage...
Later. I need to sleep now. Gnight!

That's always humourous. Bypassing the Wonder Guard and leaving them fuming at their 'invincible' mon going down.

Ah. I guess that's a part of why I hack. I get too frustrated with the stress and tedium of all that. Tried it once, took so long and I gave up when I realised all my mons had about 60 levels to go.

[LaZodiac]

It's only a game, guys.

ION: I have a new avatar.

CABBAGE HEAAAAAD!

"You're just saying that because I have a CABBAGE FOR A HEAAAAD"

Cookies for anyone who gets the reference.

Normally, and sadly, the most invincible mon is a wonder guard blissey with psychic and agility.

I know that feeling, main reason why I got my AR in the first time.

[Skeppio]

BLISSEY!!! Sorry, I kinda have a thing against Blissey...
Yeah, total cheater hackers are the worst.

Yeah, same here. But as long as I keep it all fair and legal, I'm good.

At first I thought it had something to do with the cabbage merchant, but when you started talking about references I was lost. Erm. Fighting Foodons?

[AsteriskAmp]

The best tank ever?
The indestructible healer?

And yes, complete cheating is rather annoying, specially when done without any ability or proper thought, an illegal move - annoying, a blatantly obvious hack - vendetta!

[Rae Artemi]

So you're not just doing this for the lulz? Now I know. How am I to use this knowledge to my advantage...

... Wait, I can't be just doing something for the Lulz and have a purpose now? Since when?

[LaZodiac]

....ok, see, you get a cookie, but not for getting the reference. Because you didn't. But you know about Fighting Foodons/Bistro Chief. Good lord, that's enough for atleast 5 cookies.

But yha. Search "Cabbage Head, Kids in the Hall" and you'll get my reference.

[Skeppio]

The best tank ever?
The indestructible healer?

Yeah, I just generally don't like it when one option in a game renders the others completely useless. Like Blissey. Why even bother having any other tank mon when Blissey is infintely superior than all of them, with no downside?

And yes, complete cheating is rather annoying, specially when done without any ability or proper thought, an illegal move - annoying, a blatantly obvious hack - vendetta!

Yeah. If you're gonna cheat, at least try to make it look like you're not. Some people are just pricks.

[AsteriskAmp]

That's not entirely true. Blissey does have a wide array of shortcomings, it is just that she is the default to go wall if you have no holistic strategy in mind. Blissey is extremely limited by her obnoxiously crappy defence and the fact that her moveset ain't that splendid and apart from keeping herself alive she can do little else. Sometimes you need a wall for that, but if you have a longer term plan, Blissey is hardly suitable for anything but One-man walling.
I prefer thematic playing over independent efficiency, so if I can have a perfectly suitable tematic wall that also furthers something interesting like Spikes, Weather or Baton Pass/Debuffs, I'd much rather go with that.

Eh, that's odd. I used Regice as my Special Wall, since I could get over 500 SpDef with him and in testing, his Charge Beam could get hugely powerful after a few shots. But it turns out he's absolutely useless and I should be ashamed for using him over Blissey. At least that's what I was told, because Blissey was 100% better.

Pretty much whatever's on the standard Marriland team.

Fighting Foodons is obscure?

Well, Regice is a subpar wall in many aspects, but it has a certain edge when on a Hail team which is normally where I've seen him, and he does have an offensive edge over Blissey. The issue depends on which site you run him, smogon battles are different from Serebiis and Marriland (of those, I don't particularly like the last one for a number of reasons).

And yes, Blissey was a staple since it was damn basic to use, and it required little strategic planning since there was only so much you could do with it and it was a great stand alone. As for White and Black it seems from Serebii's comments and from their overview as well that it's been somehow trumped by Chancey. I don't get how...

Regice used to be far better, before Platinum gave Heat Wave to almost every birdlike mon, even though it makes no sense to do so.

Eviolite. Increases the stats of a Pokemon that hasn't reached its final evolution. It pushes Chansey's stats above its evolution, Blissey.
