A much better way of looking at it. Nick has made multiple topics about his son having chronic seizures on top of being autistic. Regularly, unless his son is having an extreme emergency with the seizures, his wait times to have his son see a doctor are obnoxious. He lives in Canada with its so called amazing universal health care.

America has its issues but we aren't making people with seizures wait weeks to see doctors. If you have an emergency, you get seen.

(Side note, it's incredible how good a dad nick is. I could never deal with all that.)


Nick also doesn't have to worry about crushing medical costs that could force him into bankruptcy.

There is a trade-off that has to be made between universal health care and the type of health care that is funded through insurance. You can either choose between the security of not being forced into bankruptcy by high medical costs, or having much shorter waiting times. It comes down to which one you would rather have.

I suppose the issue that Nick is having with his son's seizures is rather unfortunate, since it falls somewhere in the middle between a medical problem that is not immediately life-threatening or an actual life-threatening emergency. With seizures, you don't want to f*** around with those because they can potentially kill you.

So yeah, that first paragraph says ten characters, but it's gonna be considerably less than that for the new few days as we count down to crowning our Gen I champion! Each day from now on, one Pokemon will be eliminated until our final two square off.


I assume you'll be doing this near the end of Gen 2 (and all later generations)?

It sucks that Glaceon went out, but at least Shaymin advancing is a victory for cute Pokemon. This was a very unfair division with 7 Gen 1 Pokemon, so it would have been a huge longshot for both Glaceon and Shaymin to advance.

As for User of the Year, admittedly, people thankfully care less about that terrible pile of garbage than in years past, but it still brings out the worst in people. People come and play the terrible game to win a dumb user contest on a dying board where 90% of the posts are people that can't resist taking the bait in a political topic. Hell, do you want to be User of the Year on a board that has literally idolized Ulti for as long as I can remember? The amount of terrible garbage people have posted in the spirit of UotY over the past however long couldn't even be a little bit contained in this topic.


Just letting you know that your division is currently up for voting if you would like to vote for yourself. You can vote for yourself in this topic:

Man, this division was really stacked hard when Empoleon (who finished 2nd place last year) was in danger of possibly being eliminated. Growlithe and Infernape are 2 Pokemon that probably could have advanced if they were in a different division.

Finally the bipedal monstrosity that is Incineroar dies.


Although that's standard for the final evolutions of all Fire type starters (going bipedal). Typhlosion is the closest thing to a quadrupedal final evolution since it can move around on all 4 legs, but is typically depicted in a bipedal form in-game and in the official artwork.

Ermine is terrible at not raging when something doesn't go his way. Ever seen it happen? He can't hold it in and its pretty damn awful when it happens. On top of that, his favorite Pokemon is so terrible it can't even run in a straight line. Its inefficiency in the most terrible way. I'm pretty sure he wants to get eaten by a Zapdos while hujgging it as well, and thats a pretty terrible way to die. Hes also got some weirdo opinions where things like Durant pop up on his favorites list or random robots. Those are terrible too.


Ermine can also get pretty moody for things that are unrelated to something not going his way. I remember linking Ermine to the Pokemon of the Year nomination topic and he got really moody with me by using some swear words when explaining he wasn't interested in nominating any Pokemon.

Holy what the hell a ytmnd. I was not expecting one of those. Way way way way back board 8 was like 95% yrmnd topics and it was the dumbest most terrible thing we'd ever seen. Seriously, a bunch of stupid things that were basically gif's that we have now except in glorified form that only dumb teenagers would find funny. Do you remember that board 8? Those were terrible dark times. I never got the ytmnd fad, and tbh, this pretty much epitomizes what the hell board 8 was for a year. Someone finds ytmnd, someone posts it, I wonder what the hell ytmnd stands for, recognize the topic is stupid and then move on my way. I'm glad this terrible fad died the hell out. The broken english here also doesn't represent anything that FFXI was and thats kind of awful.

On a side note, the text totally nostalgia bombed me and I'm sure I'm all glowy-eyed if you could actually look at me. Its probably a pretty terrible state of being, get over the damn nostalgia and move on.


ytmnd was pretty big on GameFAQs from 2004 to 2006, but pretty much died off after that.

Wow that's actually not too bad a batch of remaining Pokemon. Like yeah I lost a lot of favorites so far, but when looking for things to minus, there weren't too many things left I felt particularly negative about. Divs D and F have the most Pokemon I dislike in them. E and I don't have anything I dislike, and just about all the others only have one or two things.


Division C and J have the most Pokemon I dislike.

The most stacked division is probably Division B. In terms of my favorites, Division E and H are fairly stacked.


mnkboy907 posted...
The board really does have a lot of people that dislike the feminine Grass Pokemon, though.


3DSRage posted...
There are actually more feminine grass Pokemon than any other type.


Feminine Pokemon in general are usually disliked with very few exceptions. And yeah, the Grass type has an unusually high number of feminine looking Pokemon for some reason. Going by appearance alone (ignoring in-game gender ratios), I think this is the full list of feminine Grass Pokemon:

Meganium, Bellossom, Roserade, Lilligant, Virizion, Lurantis, Tsareena

I focused on the final evolutions only, although there are some pre-evolutions that are still feminine.

No, that's not the reason why. DSRage has already announced ahead of time when he plans on putting up divisions early, so he should have done the same thing for putting up 3 divisions in one day. Anything that is out of the ordinary should be announced ahead of time.

The following divisions are stacked in terms of my favorites being in a stacked division:

Division I - Mudsdale, Eevee, Cobalion

Division J - Jirachi, Mew

Division K - Altaria, Lunala, Tapu Koko, Umbreon

Division L - Arcanine, Suicune, Vivillon

Division P - Glaceon, Rotom, Shaymin

Division R - Corsola, Gardevoir

Division U - Flygon, Galvantula, Tropius

Division V - Dragonite, Joltik, Popplio

Division X - Kyogre, Luxray, Ninetales, Ribombee, Xerneas

Division X is insane because it's impossible for all of them to advance. No matter what happens, I'll be losing one of them.

For shame that we lost Primarina so early! It was clearly the best of the three gen 7 evos!


Also, there wasn't much support for Primarina as well, at least compared to Sylveon. Although Sylveon had a lot more supporters than Primarina, it also had a lot more haters too. Primarina didn't get anti-voted as heavily as Sylveon did, but it also had a much smaller group of supporters.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the Super Bowl? (which has a 6:30 PM kickoff time on Sunday)

One advantage to putting up the most recent divisions early is so the voting ends shortly after kickoff happens.

Another Tapu proves to be a contest dud. Will Koko be able to turn things around for the island guardians? We'll have to wait until division W to see!


The problem is the racism against cute Pokemon. With extremely few exceptions, cute Pokemon can't seem to shine in a general Pokemon contest.

Tapu Lele and Tapu Fini are both cute Pokemon, so there was going to be at least several users that were going to anti-vote them. It doesn't help they also look feminine, which also hurts them as well.
