I have C3D, and I've seen this before (in iamsuperhappy's gallery, if I'm not mistaken). This is pretty accurate. Half the stuff I see there is traced and it frustrates me to see it get so much attention. One thing you missed, unless it's covered in stupid stories, is "PRESS PLAY LOL." Also double uploads all over the place, and tons of "check my gallery" and other such shameless plugs. Other complaints I have about the layout include that, since the New Paintings section gets filled up so fast with all of the above, it's hard to get any attention without doing shameless plugs, which I've sworn not to do. Then, assuming something makes it to the Week's Best, it gets ridiculous amounts of likes. Seriously, I have a painting that has 74 likes, and the next highest amount is 6. I never knew that many people liked Problem Sleuth. Also I dislike how the undo function breaks after a while, which I assume has something to do with the max file size for playback. All but two of my paintings have exceeded the playback limit. There are good things to be said, though. The painting tools themselves are cool, and I love the idea of being able to see the painting being completed. It needs quite a bit of polishing, however, and the 3DS needs a lot of the functions of the site (seriously, no search or flag?). A lot of problems would be solved by a better userbase, but there's nothing that can be done about that.

This seriously happened four days ago and I just found out about it now? I have zero problem with this and I find the charts in the OP to be hilarious. I always tried to make my posts last a line or two anyway and mother of god I'm already rapidly approaching 300 characters what is going on right now I've seen forums with a 10charlimit, and some people there would say shit like "Yes 10charlimit" just to bend the rules. The need for a character limit is always going to be based on the constituent members of the forum. The aforementioned forum (Serebii's, for those who are curious) has a ton of little kids who probably shouldn't be on the internet. Another forum I actually frequent, Smogon's, has no lower limit and things go fine over there, from what I can tell. It also has a lot more teenagers and older, so that probably helps quite a bit. Now, understand that I do not intend to offend here, but this forum leans towards Serebii's much more than Smogon's. This should be of little surprise, given the premise. In order to keep quality of discussion out of the toilet, reasonable character limits are a good thing, and while 100 may seem daunting at first, my post right now isn't even that long and it's well over a thousand. Remember that spaces and punctuation count. That's not to say all members here are young and/or immature, not in the slightest. Some make consistent high-quality posts and this is going in a pre-emptive defense direction that I don't want it to go. I just read PonyEcho's post and lolol let me hide in a fort made out of my desk because he was pretty much right on the money about me, accounting for exaggeration. No, you're not, and I quote but not in the forum sense, "drooling retards who shouldnt be on the forum." If I implied that, then I apologize and so on and so forth, but do understand that it can be exasperating to read certain posts here and there. That doesn't mean we don't love you. Like most times, I got here kinda late and such and I don't feel like reading through eleven pages of thread and this stuff was probably covered by people like Scootacool, Zoop, LARP, not Veece because I don't think he's on here much if at all anymore but if he were he would be in this list, and anyone else I may have forgot, which is probably about half the people who posted in this thread. The tag is very much true to my situation right now, Zoop, you precognitive bastard (and to those who might get offended, I mean this in the best way). Final char. count: 2529

1. That makes sense, I suppose, not that that was an intention I had. It's more an ethical scenario vs. possible consequences, as well as validating that it's possible. 2. A'ight 3. Your brain also knows there are people there when a tulpa phases through them, as well as walls etc. I don't see how the ground is any different. Your brain should be logically opposed to seeing one thing noclip through another, and I've heard that tulpae are capable of doing that sometimes. Why not all the time? Regarding the cars situation, the cars are actually there. The electrons on the outside of the cars are actually exerting an electromagnetic force against those of the ground, preventing them from passing through the parking lot into the ground. Tulpae are only in your mind, and as such exert no such force. The brain is also accustomed to gravity, so it makes sense that the projected tulpa would be affected by it and therefore pulled towards the earth. I know it just makes sense that they don't fall through the ground and that they do noclip through people, but I like questioning things and why they work the way they do. My logic is probably either faulty or http://tvtropes.org/...nsaneTrollLogic at this point because I've overthunk it too much.

This feels so much like a postcount+ thread Anyway, 220:216 brohooves:posts. Holla holla be first with ratio of more than 1, sitting pretty at 1.02. That's before this post, by the way. After goes down to 1.01. inb4 massively upstaged by the likes of Feld0 and whatnot

This thread needs more life, but I'm unsure of how to go about reviving it without making something too similar to an existing Pokemon thread (Favorite Pokemon, Black & White 2 thread, Nuzlocke/Let's Plays, etc.). I would try to start discussion about an item/similar items, but I already tried that in another Pokemon thread and it died quite fast, not to mention some people wouldn't even be familiar with a mentioned item/Pokemon. Instead, I think I'll just say that the anime isn't very good at all outside of some movies. I've tried watching some of the recent stuff, and it's just not worth it. Regarding movies, I have only seen Mewtwo Strikes Back and Destiny Deoxys, but I enjoyed them both a lot more than the anime as a whole. Also, inconsistencies with the show and the games are pretty hilarious sometimes (see "Aim for the horn," "Finish him off with False Swipe").

Holla holla be 413th reply Tulpae seem like some freaky stuff. Harmless enough, even beneficial as a being that literally is your subconscious. There are some weird implications, though, even some that haven't been explored in all 21 previous pages of this thread. First: Tulpae know everything you know, both consciously and subconsciously. This means that a tulpa would be capable of telling you the correct answer to every question on, for example, a math test (should you have previously been taught the general process). This wouldn't be logically considered cheating, given that a tulpa is basically you, but imagine you are an average student because you are lazy. Suddenly, you effortlessly answer every question correctly. I don't know about any of you, but if I were to observe that, I'd be pretty dang suspicious. Would the aforementioned scenario ever happen, and if so, what could possibly become of that? Second: (this has been brought up, but I don't think it was acknowledged) Tulpae are "advertised," you might say, as being fully autonomous, sentient beings that only you can perceive. They are also a metaphysical embodiment of your subconscious. How autonomous can it be if it is a product of your own mind? It only exists there, so how can it possibly be totally independent and free of your control? I'm just curious about those. As for myself, I'm gonna experiment with lucid dreaming before (if) I ever make a tulpa. It sounds cool and all, but it gets weird if you think about it for a while. It's also a ton of time to commit to something that I'm not even sure I'll want in the first place, let alone years down the road. This thread and tulpa.info were interesting reads, to say the least. I wouldn't quite say I'm a skeptic, since the human brain is pretty awesome, but I'm not too willing to believe that there aren't any strings attached. Also, it sounds like some people in this thread got aneurysms or something, but maybe that's just me imagining it? EDIT: Another thing I was wondering about: if tulpae can't interact with the physical world, then how can they stand on ground as if it is solid?

*buckles up* But seriously, Homestuck probably has 8^y (where y=8) viable ships, considering the character list. Four pre scratch kids, twelve post scratch trolls, four post scratch kids, twelve pre scratch trolls, the Midnight Crew three times, the royalty of Prospit and Derse about twice, the exiles, the guardians, the Felt...even taking out things like Dave and Rose where they are existentially related through some sort of weird plot shit, there's still a ton of stuff. Then you consider troll romance and apply that to all characters, and shit gets exponential. That's not even including dream selves and obvious Karkat <3< Karkat where one is future/past and one is present. And then there's Hussie, Ms. Paint, Rufio, Guy Fieri, Jay and Dope, Betty Crocker, and tons of other fringe shit all over the place. Sweet Bro <> Hella Jeff? Hella Jeff <3 deudly firearms...? Sweet Bro <3< stairs? The possibilities are endless. You can't possibly stop there.

Goddamn I love Homestuck music

GUYS, GUYS, STOP THIS STUPID INTERNET FIGHT The only differences between PS3 and Xbox 360 are Xbox Live/PSN, Blu-Ray capability, and exclusive games. The only real reason to choose one over the other here is the last one. If you have a 360 because you prefer the likes of Gears of War and Halo (I don't have a 360 so help me out here those who do) over Uncharted, inFamous, Ratchet & Clank, LittleBigPlanet, etc., or vice versa, that's fine. Blu-Ray does allow PS3 exclusives to have more content, but few developers actually cram it full because it's a lot harder to do so than it is for a DVD. The only game I know of that takes full advantage of this is inFamous 2. Blu-Ray movies are pretty much a non-factor at this point. Why can't we leave it at that? Regarding the poll, I have a PS3, 3DS, and Wii. This doesn't reflect what I think is best for gaming, because PC wins in a landslide in pretty much every respect except cost-effectiveness (gaming comps cost tons of money) and portability (DS, Vita, and graphing calc win there, although I suppose you could game on a laptop. But still, the point stands that the DS, Vita, and calc are easier to carry around).

Buckle up, Homestuck

Normally I'd say something like "Don't even get me started on Pokemon," but it's too late for that. Prepare yourselves for a supermassive post: grab some popcorn, get comfy, et cetera. *cracks knuckles* Pokemon and I go way back. I'll do an analysis of each generation and the games that I've played from them, from both a casual and a competitive standpoint. GENERATION 1 Casual Man, oh man, where it all began. Many of us fondly regard the first Pokemon games, and rightfully so in some respects. Kanto was a fantastic region, and the latter half of the game could be sequence-broken into thousands of pieces. The storytelling was linear in some regards, yet the gameplay also felt loose and free, like it didn't shackle you down and tell you what to do. In fact, some parts of the game (such as the Celadon Game Corner) could be put off entirely until the path they unlocked became relevant (enter Snorlax and the need for the Pokeflute, which was only obtainable with the Silph Scope). As far as starter selection went, they were all pretty damn good: Venusaur had access to guaranteed-crit Razor Leaf and cool stuff like Sleep Powder and Leech Seed, Charizard was good for cool factor and using Fire moves and being useful lategame, and Blastoise was a Water-type, which is never a bad thing. Of course, Yellow got stuck with Pikachu, which is so bad against Brock (everything else, too) that they gave you a Mankey before the first Gym to compensate. Choice of Pokemon was pretty decent, given that you had a starter of choice and could flesh the team out with an Eeveelution, Graveler, Kadabra, Pidgeot/Fearow/Dodrio, whatever really. There were some legitimately challenging parts of the game, such as Sabrina in general (because Psychic was Jesus-type back then). The mechanics were strange as all hell, though: Special was its own stat and was basically Special Attack and Special Defense at once, the only truly 100% accurate move was Swift (even 100 acc moves had ~99% acc because of how it was calculated), critical hit ratio was based on Speed, Focus Energy made crits never happen, Rage misses would have subsequent turns always miss, boosting stats to over 999 would roll them back to 1...strange stuff, these games were. Sprites were lolbad (try to look at Blue Version Golbat late at night and get a good night's rest afterward), some types of trainers would carry whips, the Mediums in Pokemon Tower wanted your soul, and the Lavender Town music had to be changed for the worldwide releases due to accidental binaural beats. Crazy stuff, man. No wonder there are so many Pokemon creepypastas. Also, to anyone complaining of lack of creativity past a certain generation, I'd like you to remember Grimer/Muk, Doduo/Dodrio, Diglett/Dugtrio, Magnemite/Magneton, etc. The first are just piles of sludge, the others' evolutions are basically the same but with more heads. Be real, there has always been a certain degree of lack of creativity, your nostalgia is just too thick to let you see it. Competitive Oh my gog, no matter what people say about the current Gen 5 meta, it's at least fifty times better than RBY could ever hope to be. Due to the Special god stat and how they messed up the code so that Psychic was only weak to Bug (which only had Twineedle [limited to Beedrillol], Pin Missile [pretty much only on Jolteon, iirc], and Leech Life [lol Golbat and Venomoth]), Psychic types reigned supreme with little to no opposition. Starmie, Exeggutor, Slowbro, and Alakazam were very widely used OU Psychics, and the only Ubers were Mewtwo and Mew. Speaking of Mewtwo, it had Amnesia, which doubled Special in one use. Combine that with Psychic having perfect coverage outside of other Psychics as well as Mewtwo's movepool having Thunderbolt for Starmie/Slowbro and Blizzard for Exeggutor, and Recover if you're willing to forego a coverage move, and you've got something only stoppable by the other Uber's best set: Swords Dance Mew. But enough about Special behemoths (I haven't even mentioned Chansey, Jolteon, and Gengar, lol): what can physically-based Pokemon do? Quite simply, there are four physical Pokemon that are halfway decent, and they are Snorlax, Golem, Tauros, and Rhydon. The first two can blow up, the first one has STAB Selfdestruct/Body Slam/Hyper Beam, the Rocks have STAB Earthquake and are Normal resists, and Tauros has an absurdly strong STAB Hyper Beam and pretty high crit rate. It's pretty crazy and overcentralized not only because of the troll mechanics, but also because of the relative lack of Pokemon available and total lack of hold items or abilities. For more recent generations, RBY Pokemon are still pretty decent choices. Starmie, Dragonite, Gyarados, and Gengar stand alone as the only Pokemon to always be OU, though Snorlax came close and Alakazam always stayed up there. The Dream World really threw a lot of Pokemon a bone, particularly Multiscale Dragonite, Sheer Force Nidoking, Magic Guard Alakazam, Chlorophyll Venusaur, and Drought Ninetales. That's not to say Ninetales is any good even in permasun, but hey, at least it's something. I'm still eagerly anticipating the likely eventual release of DW Zapdos, since it is pretty much the definition of asskick. Generation 2 Casual Two playable regions = twice the awesome. Never mind the lulzy low levels of pretty much everything in Johto, up to and including the E4. But really, these games were a ton of fun to play. The mechanics were much, MUCH better than those of its predecessors, the general aesthetics were improved (color and animated sprites on entry to battle in Crystal, hot damn), and the selection of Pokemon increased a solid amount. Cool evolutions of Kanto Pokemon were introduced (holy crap Scizor, Crobat, Blissey, Steelix, why are you so awesome). The concept of pseudolegends was carried on with the undeniably badass Tyranitar. Despite the recycled villains, they stayed fresh given their new motive (did they even have a motive in RBY?). Chikorita was, is, and always will be for super-masochists, given how inept Meganium is offensively combined with poor Gym and boss matchups. Totodile was solid throughout the game, performing well against nearly every trainer and getting cool HMs, level up moves, and Ice Punch. Cyndaquil was amazing early on, but turned out to be pretty frail and matched up poorly against a lot of lategame bosses. Unfortunately, a bunch of neat Pokemon were only available in Kanto and other post-E4 areas. It can be frustrating to see two Houndooms before the E4 and only be able to have one of your own way after them. Overall, these games were a pretty huge improvement over RBY not only for the above reasons, but also because there were things to actually do after you beat the E4. You could rebattle trainers, do the Bug Catching Contest, explore Kanto, battle Red, and more, as opposed to catch Mewtwo and that's it. Competitive This is probably the metagame I know the least about. SkarmBliss was unleashed upon a world unprepared to deal with it, and ResTalkers like Snorlax and Suicune were nigh-unbreakable. Physical attackers were definitely the best-prepared to go on the offensive, though, given that Blissey actually had Softboiled and all Skarmory had was Leftovers. Speaking of which, items! There wasn't a single Pokemon that didn't love Leftovers, but at least the idea was developed and we now have tons of sweet items. The schism of the Special stat was definitely for the best, too. Other cool stuff introduced: Hidden Power and new moves, which both helped ensure that no Pokemon would be stuck with only STAB and Normal-type move coverage, or in some cases, just Normal-type moves without STAB. Dragon Rage was no longer the only Dragon-type move, and although special base 90 Outrage isn't too great, at least it's something and better than the base 40 Twister or base 60 Dragonbreath. Bug-types (well, only Heracross, but still) got Megahorn as a good STAB. The concept of weather was introduced, with Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail, and Sandstorm all providing a 5 turn field effect. Dark- and Steel-types were pretty big new things as well, bringing the total number of types up to 17. Gen 2 Pokemon are overall pretty great in the Gen 5 metagame. Scizor remains very high in usage, Blissey still walls a bunch of special attackers, Skarmory still walls some physical attackers, Celebi is wonderful against rain...speaking of which, Politoed summons infinite rain. Tyranitar also summons infinite sanstorm. That's pretty much 'nuff said. A bunch of Johto Pokemon are forces to be reckoned with in UU as well, especially Heracross and Porygon2, which now has access to Eviolite-boosted defenses. Dream World as a whole was less kind to Johto Pokemon, although most of the useful ones had good abilities anyway. One of the only notable non-Ubers in regards to DW is Raikou, which gets Volt Absorb. Lugia and Ho-Oh, on the other hand, get Multiscale and Regenerator respectively, which are both pretty top-tier abilities on anything. Generation 3 Casual Hoenn is my personal favorite region, Emerald my favorite game. The scenery is amazing, with very diverse landscapes and unique areas. The path through the region loops over itself a few times, leading to discoveries of many new paths to take. Pokemon variety is great (until you hit the water routes and it's all Tentacool and Wingull), leading to a ton of cool options for a team. Teams Magma and Aqua were fairly sympathetic and both actually believed they were doing the right thing. Treecko was not too bad, considering Grass STAB turned out to be useful with all the Waters you ran into. Torchic kicked the entire game's ass up until Mossdeep, at which point your team should be more than capable of helping you out. Mudkip was one of the best Water-types, not only due to its early availability but also because it never lost usefulness and had a great type. There were many new Pokemon introduced, some cool and others not. Postgame was totally awesome in Emerald due to Battle Frontier, one of the best things to happen to Pokemon in my opinion. There were also a lot of legendaries to hunt, always a plus. FireRed and LeafGreen are Red and Blue with updated mechanics and the Sevii Islands postgame. Hellz yeah. Colloseum, XD, and Mystery Dungeon Red & Blue were all really fun. I especially enjoyed XD, and hope there will be another Shadow Pokemon game in the future. Competitive Physical attackers got a lot better. In addition to access to Swords Dance and some powerful moves already, they got Choice Band and Dragon Dance over special attackers now. Nevertheless, SkarmBliss remained a powerful combination, as Skarmory now has Spikes to spread residual damage. Blissey pretty much made special attackers a non-factor unless they had Trick or big Subs and Calm Mind. ResTalkers still were dominant, especially Crocune and Curselax. Overall, the meta was very defensively oriented. Cool new things include the aforementioned Choice Band, Lum Berry, and new moves like Calm Mind and Brick Break. Oh, and abilities turned out to be pretty game-changing, especially permaweather abilities. EVs, IVs, and natures were introduced too, meaning the same species could perform more than a couple roles very well. @Roop, this stuff may seem confusing at first, but if you take the time to learn the ins and outs, it's not bad at all (not that you seem to want to learn, but that's fine too). Pokemon from Hoenn are mostly good in Ubers and the lower tiers. In regards to OU, there's Metagross, Salamence, Lati@s, Breloom, and Jirachi, which are all pretty great still. Ubers has Pokemon like Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Blaziken, and every Deoxys forme that's not Defense. Dream World really gave some Pokemon a huge boost (lol), such as Blaziken and Sharpedo with Speed Boost. Breloom got Technician, which just may put the Bulk Up and SubPunch sets out of business. Seriously, Techniloom is cool. Generation 4 Casual Sinnoh was an eccentric region. It twists and turns and has some things from Hoenn taken to extremes (ecosystems like the Great Marsh and Snowpoint). I liked how it seemed focused on the central point of Mt. Coronet. Team Galactic as a whole had no idea what Cyrus's intentions were, with some of the higher-ups actually questioning his intentions and whether or not he had gone too far. Cyrus himself was pretty wacked out and off the deep end in every way, but he got there in a way that makes sense. Galactic's goals felt actually threatening to everyone and everything, and I haven't even played Platinum. Turtwig is pretty much typical Grass starter fare, usable but somewhat difficult. Chimchar was a great Fire-type, not to mention one of the only ones available in DP (for reference, the Fire-type E4 member only had Infernape and Rapidash). Piplup was very helpful throughout the game, even moreso since it eventually became Water/Steel. Platinum had an updated Battle Frontier to occupy players postgame. HeartGold and SoulSilver were all the deliciousness of GSC, but with updated mechanics, Platinum's Battle Frontier and tons of legendaries available postgame and a weird Safari Zone. I never played Pokemon Battle Revolution or Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. I have, however, played Explorers of Time and Darkness, and they are not only fantastic in terms of gameplay, but also in terms of storytelling. Seriously, they're awesome. Competitive This is arguably one of the most innovative generations in terms of new mechanics and items. The old system of determining which moves were physical or special (based on type) was renovated to be on a move-to-move basis. This Physical/Special Split gave a lot of Pokemon new life and potential. For example, Gyarados now has access to a physical Water move in Waterfall. Outrage got buffed to a 120 base power physical move, etc. The implications are endless. Many new abilities were introduced, such as Snow Warning and Poison Heal. New items were things like the Choice Specs, Choice Scarf, Life Orb, and Focus Sash, leading to a much more offensively oriented metagame. Defense and stall didn't get overlooked, though, as there are now two major new moves: Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes. Leads were typically focused around getting Stealth Rock down as soon as possible and preventing it from being on your side of the field, so things like Taunt Aerodactyl and Taunt Azelf became popular. Dragons, with their new toys such as Outrage and Draco Meteor, proved to be largely too strong for OU eventually. Lati@s, Garchomp, and Salamence were all shoved up to Ubers, leaving only stuff like Kingdra, Dragonite, and Flygon. At this junction, Fire/Water/Grass (FWG) cores became huge in OU, as their STABs have fewer Dragons to resist them. Steels remained pretty popular, and one of the most common Fires was Heatran, a Fire/Steel type. Scizor was absolutely huge after Platinum rolled around, due to the newest addition to its movepool: Bullet Punch. A STAB, Technician, +2 or CB-boosted Bullet Punch packed quite the punch, indeed. It also gained two usable Bug STABs in Bug Bite and U-turn, as well as Superpower for coverage. Bug-types no longer collectively sucked, which was a nice change of pace. Sinnoh 'mons in Gen 5 are a bit of a mixed bag. Garchomp got rebanned, and other notable Ubers include Darkrai, Palkia, Dialga, both Giratina formes, and especially Arceus. OU has...well, Gliscor, Lucario, Infernape, Gastrodon, Hippowdon, Toxicroak, Abomasnow, Magnezone, Rotom-W, and Heatran. I may have missed a couple. That's quite the collection of great Pokemon. Dream World didn't do all that much for Sinnoh, although Iron Fist Infernape is cool and Regenerator Tangrowth is supercool. Generation 5 Casual Black and White had solid, compelling story in my opinion, but the region itself was very meh. It led you around by the nose and gave you very little freedom. At least HMs were almost entirely obsolete, though. Team Plasma was the largest bunch of hypocrites I've seen, but Ghetsis was downright creepy and evil and N was a very interesting character to say the least. Learning his whole backstory in the castle made you feel really sorry for him. That toy room gave me goosebumps. Snivy wasn't really useful ingame, but damn was it fly. I have never tried Oshawott or Tepig, but I can imagine Oshawott would be amazing and Tepig would be pretty good. You were provided with some decent variety in most types, with only Water being a little lackluster from what I remember, given how out of the way every body of water is. I liked the gimmicky locations like Skyarrow Bridge where the camera goes crazy on you. The Battle Subway has helped me kill a lot of time in the past. It's pretty fun and actually challenging, and I like the addition of the Super Subway lines. I haven't played Black or Black and White 2, but from what I hear BW2 have ungodly variety in Pokemon and aren't more linear than a ruler. YAY Competitive We seem to have caught up to the present. The Gen 5 meta (even moreso with BW2) is all about weather. Sun can be summoned by Ninetales, rain by Politoed, sand by Tyranitar and Hippowdon, hail by Abomasnow. Chlorophyll Pokemon, Dragons, and Fire-types generally love the sun. Swift Swimmers (before Aldaron's Proposal), Waters in general, Steels, Grasses, and Electrics love the rain. Sand Rush Pokemon (now just Sandslash and Stoutland usable in OU, subject to possible but unlikely change with Excadrill), Steels, Grounds, Rocks, and Magic Guard Pokemon love and/or don't mind sand. Ice types and random things with Blizzard like hail. That's quite a bit of OU right there. Aside from the usual suspects, Ubers now include Blaziken (due to Speed Boost), Thundurus (due to dominance in rain and priority Twave/Sub/Nasty Plot), Excadrill (due to demolishing speed tiers with Sand Rush and having few good counters and checks for SD sets), and Deoxys-S (due to reliably setting multiple hazards and dual screens for setup sweeper demolition). Oh, and the use of Drizzle and Swift Swim on the same team. A lot of these were capable of abusing weather quite well. Even with all these abusers removed, weather remained dominant up until the end of the BW meta, where weatherless (and VoltTurn) gained popularity. With BW2, rain has tons of new toys to play with, such as Thundurus-T, Tornadus-T, Keldeo, Aqua Tail Haxorus, and more. Time will tell what will happen to BW2 weather. The biggest addition of Gen 5 was pretty much just Dream World, not some big mechanic overhaul or tons of really useful items and moves. Sure, some new stuff got added, but it was nothing too major. Unova Pokemon perform quite well in the metagame. There are the aforementioned Therian formes and their original Incarnate formes, the Musketeers, Haxorus, Hydreigon, Volcarona, Reuniclus, Conkeldurr, Jellicent, Ferrothorn, and more. Recent Dream World releases have made some Pokemon, like Regen Amoonguss, really quite good. Some are yet to come, such as Contrary Serperior and Shadow Tag Chandelure. Whatever eventually happens, I'm sure they'll get used a ton at first. Thus ends my analysis, and if you read through the whole thing, I commend you. I think that's most of what I have to say. Some closing remarks: There have been Pokemon threads in the past. I watched as they slowly withered and died, and I don't want that to happen to this one. Also, if you want to play the BW2 metagame, I recommend play.pokemonshowdown.com very highly. For earlier metagames, download Pokemon Online from pokemon-online.eu. That's all, folks.

The only way to holla holla get bells: BLEED EVERY BODY OF WATER DRY. CATCH ALL THE FISH! I remember on both the original and Wild World (I don't have City Folk), I'd fish until my inventory was full, sell everything to Nook, rinse, repeat. That feel when you see a shadow in the water that's larger than your character, man...my heart skipped a beat every time. I also remember being scared absolutely shitless of bees and scorpions. There was so much cool stuff in these games: UFOs that you can shoot down, trees that can grow MONEY, completely customizable houses, characters that you could never know exist because they are only in town at super-specific times, holiday contests...I could go on for quite a while about these games. There were even mosquitos that would bite you if you spent too much time in one place at night during spring or something like that. Thank you so much for making this thread and evoking all these memories and feels.

I can't be the only person who saw the thread title and thought it was about peeing, right? ... Yeah, I'd rather be the only sitter unless there's some sort of presentation going on that I'd want to see. It stands out a lot less, and I'm not one to be the center of attention. I like to blend in, and if I have to be the only one doing something, I'd prefer to be as small and unnoticeable as possible.

Unless it's Manuary or something, I try to shave once every couple days, before the chinbeard gets irritating. In related news, I shaved my mustache. inb4 tears

Let's see... 1. I stroke my moustache too much and should probably stop, because there is no reason for me to touch my face. Like, unless I have an itch, it's completely pointless. I'll work on it. 2. I wash my hands an average of once or twice a day, or after I sweat a lot or get them dirty. Is this adequate? 3. Average face washes per day: one in the shower 4. Blech, cold showers freak me out a little. I'll stick to warm, medium-length and try to keep it at bay other ways. 5. I never really use any sort of moisturizer or lotion for anything. Meh. 6. Vitamin A poisoning is a thing, Shank. I take a multivitamin, so in theory, I should be fine. 7. Chocolate <3 8. Average milk consumption daily: three glasses 9. I never thought of that, actually. It's a great suggestion, if also one that increases laundry frequency. 10. I don't wear makeup, but I often sweat while I sleep, which I imagine has a similar effect. There's not much more I can do to change that, though, considering that I have an air conditioner right above my bed. 11. I feel like I'm doing this wrong. I use a Clearasil pad twice a day, and put cream on any problem areas at night, and never wash it off. Bluh, why are faces so high-maintenance 12. I don't usually get whiteheads. Instead I wind up with sensitive red bumps, which suck just as much if not more. For those times I do get whiteheads, I improvise and use tweezers to pop and clean up with toilet paper. All of that is me regarding the tips in the OP, and I go through phases of good facial skin and poopy facial skin. The fluctuation could be due to any number of things, but environmental factors are probably the largest influence. Temp/humidity changes how much I sweat, which murders my face. Given this, I'll have to try pretty hard to not have acne problems over the next few months...harder than I'd like to try because busy summer reading assignments college stuff possibly work bluh etc. I've never seen a dermatologist, but I've thought about it.
