  1. Anyone else find it funny that competitive Pokemon isn't allowing GigaMax Pokemon that haven't had events? Its like they looked at it and were like "it is not reasonable to make people grind out for these" and just noped them out via rules.

    1. LordCowCow

      I heard it's on rotation right? Wonder how that'll work.

    2. Flame Dragon

      It doesn't seem like it is a rotation. Rather as they do events for the GMax Pokemon they'll become added to the "allowed for competitive play" list. 

  2. My whole team in Sword is level 100. This is new. At least now I can beat up on any raid.

      Well, I know what I'm doing today BGM. Going to take you up on that offer.

      And yea, leveling is so easy thanks to raids. I got back almost all the EXP after a few hours of doing raids.

      Great! pm me when you have him and I will give details on availabilities, Link Code, etc. Going to breed copies of Hidden Abilities incase it isn't the Ditto you are after.

    4. Flame Dragon

      I caught, just going to breed some copies so I have them for later. All I care about is that the Ditto is 5 IV. I'll PM you when I'm good.

  3. So, I've been trying to do all the Raid Battles as they showed up in the wild area. My battery hit 1% before I could all I have available. Seriously, because of them I'm nearing 100 Pokemon caught and have gotten enough EXP candies to get everything but a Slow or Fluctuating EXP Group Pokemon to level 100 from level 1. Thats without using 1 of my 22 rare candies. Not to mention tons of watts and TRs stored up. I don't think I've gotten a single HA which is sad at this point, but man are raids SUPER worth it.

      Yeah max raid definitely makes the Leveling process flow faster... I've only pulled a handful of HA myself: Rookidee, Galvantula, Ribombee, etc... But, nothing super valuable yet. Really want to get Pinurchin, and Indeedee HA. But, I've only seen 1 of them only once, and they didn't have it. ?

    2. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      I'm sure we'll have the actual odds soon enough. I'm just happy farming watts is so easy post game since 15 raids gets you enough to do 10 more. The fact we seem to have a mapped out den list also makes farming for something you want easy.

  4. I need help with a nickname for my last teammate in Sword. Will talk specifics in a reply incase people don't want spoilers.

      Aurora is pretty solid. I actually found one though. Going with Blizzeta. Might use Aurora for something though.

    3. Summer Darj

      Summer Darj

      But Blizzeta is a boss from Zelda Twilight Princess. Is the reference intended? xD

    4. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      It is. A lot of my names are references.

  5. I think one of my biggest issues with Sword/Shield is how insanely difficult it is to get Hidden Abilities main game. In XY you were limited to horde Pokemon, but you still got some decent options with it. ORAS had DexNav which made it a piece of cake and let you get anything. Gen 7 had SOS which was more annoying than DexNav since you need to be able to check for the ability, but not the end of the world. Gen 8 it is only Raids and from what I can tell they seem super rare. It even has the extra bonus that since the game just came out it is hard to tell where you'd even need to go to do the raid for the Pokemon you'd want. 

  6. The starter Pokemon don't have preset natures right? Cause I got Jolly on my Scorbunny which is the actual perfect nature. Damn, thats a good sign.

    1. yui

      My Grookey (his name is Bard) is a Relaxed boi.

      My Sobble is Impish ?

      And this is why I always soft reset for my nature. At the very least I make sure I don't get anything trash.

  7. Crap. I totally forgot to get the HA Passimian. Not the biggest lose, but kind of tilting.

  8. Listening to Game Explains Q&A about SwSh. Sounds like some of the technical issues people were seeing might be a result of the games not being legit.

    1. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      Game Explain didn't talk about the draw distance/pop in but lag and other how the game runs. 

    2. Blake

      Blake

      To my knowledge, lag and performance are still reported issues for reviews.

    3. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      Interesting. I know he said he only played docked so maybe it's more of an issue for handheld. Could have also gotten lucky.

  9. Finally finished the XYZ anime. I still have the two specials that are part of it, but the main series is finally done. 

    1. LordCowCow

      LordCowCow

      I'm on like...episode 30

    2. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      If that is for XYZ you aren't that far from the end. I stopped right before Ash's league battle with Alan. Not the first time I've stopped right at the end of something.

  10. Sonia was already a top tier waifu, but god damn is her theme perfection.

     

    1. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      The first Pokemon theme I really remember hitting me is Onward to Our Own Futures. Come Gen 6 I've started listening a lot more to the themes. 

    2. LordCowCow

      LordCowCow

      Oh, shit, yeah, that one is really strong

    3. Flame Dragon

      For October I normally post spooky video game music and man I wish I knew about Old Chateau. Great haunted house song. 

      And yea, it just hits you. I wish it had gotten to stand alone in Smash.

  11. So if the leaks are to be believed this batch of starters is something we haven't seen in a LONG time.

    1. LordCowCow

      LordCowCow

      On one hand I hope they're true cause I think they work/are good, but on the other i know a lot of people don't like it so maybe it'd be better if they weren't ?

    2. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      I feel like some people weren't going to like them regardless of the actual quality. I think this is going to play out fine in the long run. Dissenters tend to be louder and time can change a lot. 

  12. New Pokemon anime might be a reboot. Don't think I like that direction if they do go that route, but I like the visuals more than SM's and could certainly be interesting.  Might give it a chance.

    1. LordCowCow

      LordCowCow

      If they do it that way they might be able to either
      1. Change up protags in later series
      2. Make Ash a bit more interesting/consistent

      tbh the old show could use some fresh air and it might be neat to see things start over again

    2. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      I get the incentive to start over. It just sucks losing 20 years of history. It is a hard balancing act and personally I'd rather them tell someone else story than restart Ash's.

  13. Plotted out my commander changes for C19 and Eldraine. Decided to throw some mana base improvements in their as well and if I bought everything today it would be like $550. Oko is part of the damage, but Fabled Passage, Arcane Signet, The Great Henge, and Dockside Extortionist are like $200 to get all the copies I need. Thank god I was planning on waiting a month for the prices to drop more.

  14. If anyone has issues logging int YCM just PM me and I'll reset your password. 

  15. Can one of the mods that can long into YCM reset my password. I still can't get in.

    1. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      I've never changed more username. 

    2. Arbalest's Big Crossbow

      Arbalest's Big Crossbow

      It ignored my request to reset my password like 5 times before it finally decided to cooperate. I guess just ask again.

    3. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      The email I used for YCM isn't an email I know ANYTHING about so I don't even have the reset on my own option.

  16. I think YCM has been down for a month now. Even if it comes back up it seems likely such a long down time will be the final nail. It makes me pretty sad honestly. 

    1. Blake

      Blake

      It's life. It would happen eventually.

      On the bright side, a decent portion of the community lives on here. That's why we were all so willing to move here back in January. The physical location only matters so much, as opposed to the people.

      And sleepy as this site can be, it's honestly been much more pleasant than YCM, while not really sacrificing people to achieve it... for the most part.

    2. Rodrigo

      Rodrigo

      Life goes on. It's sad, but the good memories we shared there for years will always be treasured.

    3. TheEternalWinter

      TheEternalWinter

      He's been on it constantly, Idk what he's doing. The split killed both tbh. The sum of ycm + current is still smaller than pre january ycm

  17. I like how this week has had TWO Pony announcements back to back. People really like horses I guess.

  18. MTG has My Little Pony cards and they are being sold for charity. Friendship truly is Magic.

  19. You are now legally allowed to play Spooky Scary Skeletons. 

    1. Blake

      Blake

      You are now allowed to play Thriller without me throwing you out a window.

  20. So, when YCM died I was eventually logged out for some reason. I've tried logging back in but the password I thought was right (and the one I'd use to log into Admin CP) doesn't work. I'd laugh if even when it comes back up I still can't get back on.

      Well, Blake, we did learn from the Chara incident on Halloween that I'm "unaffected by forum cards"

    3. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      Lol. CowCow OP. Please nerf.

    4. Ash

      I can get in

  21. I've been playing Link to the Past on SNES Switch and it has been really fun. Just Turtle Rock and Ganon's Tower left for dungeons and a single heart piece left for 100%. I watched a LP of the game a while back and looked up a little info, but I have to say it is pretty intuitive where everything important is going to be. Also with Link's Awakening coming out tomorrow and original LoZ on NES Switch I'm nearing a point where I'll have most of the Zelda games. It's funny to think about since I was like 15 when I owned my first Zelda.

    1. Summer Darj

      Summer Darj

      Try "A Link to the Past" randomizer! :D

    2. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      I doubt I know it well enough to play a randomizer. Still, it might be fun.

  22. Decided to watch Fate/Zero. Rider is the best and I love everything about him. 

    1. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      I've only watched through the first season so far and Berserker has largely been MIA (one of my minor complaints about it honestly). And I'm totally gonna check out Blade Works after.

    2. yui

      yui

      You haven't seen the last of Berserker, fear not. Though I should warn you, this same issue will follow you into Unlimited Blade Works and be even worse. But that's what the other Stay Night routes are for.

    3. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      I get that with a decently large cast some stuff is going to be on the back burner. How he and his master get handled ultimately is the more important thing.

  23. The newest One Piece chapter is trending on twitter. Oda is the king.

    1. TheEternalWinter

      TheEternalWinter

      I mean Bleach and Naruto have both trended before too? Like the Obito reveal, Aizen etc

  24. I'm starting to think "down for maintenance" is code for "dead and never coming back".

    1. Thar

      Thar

      Just do what I do for future game releases: Forget about it until it comes up again.

    2. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      I'm mostly joking. But it has been a fair bit longer than I would have expected.

    3. Zaziuma

      Zaziuma

      I thought it was dead back in January, but it came back. I will wait patiently. Well, as patiently as I can.

  25. Wanted to play a little Tetris before going to bed. Decide to try out Tetris 99's 999 line mode. 1 hour later. 

    Mistakes were made

    1. Forgotten Home

      Forgotten Home

      It has been another hour. Still going?

      I played the one game. I can only play so much Tetris at once.
