Boo, Raging Bolt is pretty cool and one of the best Paradoxes.

Help I want to troll and tell bot to release all the Pokemon.

What's Taters, precious?

Not necessarily true! B8 could be erased long before that!

Yay, princesses~! Is plaid sill the new black or are we going with a new fashion?

Everyone has to wear Pokemon prints now.

Raging Bolt is really cool and I hope he survives.

-1 Starly

I was so torn on whether to give regular Zoroark a -3 or let Hisuian Zoroark get my +1... It would've been easier to let it be a -, because I don't dislike anything else here besides Farfetch'd (regular or Galar).

Oh man, Sliggoo so close to death. Phew.

Shame about Guzzlord, but happy you guys weren't jerks to Buzzwole after all.

Huh, according to official statistics on a certain four-character website, this is actually true.

Thought for sure it'd be Leafeon.

Without looking, I'm betting there's art of Leafeon using Vine Whip.

I feel like there's gotta be something from the olden days. I did want to include Millionaire, but ehh.

If it's the potato by itself, I think I'd honestly say hashbrowns. But if it's anything potato, then a good scalloped potato casserole is the way to go.

But I also do love the potatoes that go in with my roasts...

Great, now we need a Minecraft tag.

There's free forum software out there (or paid I guess). Someone could make Board 8 into its own forum (and Discord would be the lifeboat to keep everyone about it and help the migration).

The discoverability would be awful and many people here would miss the memo and never know about it, and it would probably not even really catch on with many of the people who do know about it... but it's an option!

I dont know what post youre talking about.

Both this and the politics/CE policy were posted today.

I was gonna respond to KP in the now closed topic, but this is the obvious unfortunate side effect of a decision I largely agree with.

However, we have moderators for a reason -- to clean anything up if someone decides to be a jackass. Gay people can get married now and SCOTUS decided years ago they have equal rights, so this is not some debatable point and anyone who thinks otherwise isn't worth the effort to talk to.

That wouldn't mean anything if Fandom wanted to take a safe "neutral" side that doesn't upset the rightwingers (which is of course decidedly not neutral at all). But based on the trans rights post that was also made today, that luckily does not seem to be the case at the moment.

MacArrowny posted...

They made a pro-trans post at the same time, so that's definitely not political.

Well that's good at least.

Just how bad this is will depend on what is considered "politics". Like, conservatives try their hardest to make anything about non-cis-white-hetero men to be political, so are topics about LGBTQ news gonna be deemed political and thus banned?

I've felt this board was on borrowed time for a while now, but now I'm scared it really will just poof away one day.

And everyone will scatter and that will be it.

People who don't care about Discord should at least join the B8 one even if it's so they can have somewhere to check in in case the board is just randomly gone one day.

They released a patch this morning that addressed "bugs with scenario progression" so I imagine it's safe to play now.

Umbreon posted...

Predicting that Fandom shuts down the fourms altogether because they want to turn this site into wikia #9824. I'm sure they'll list a lack of activity as a main reason.

Kinda expecting now that the next step will be shutting down all non-game boards.

I like a bunch of the Steel Megas, but it's hard to give them as much credit as regular Pokemon. Honedge line is great, but it's only one real line. On the other hand Raichu, Jolteon, Zapdos, and Electabuzz are all pretty good. I think I probably have to give it to Gen I here.

edit: surprised to see this is so close.

I kept a full 10 unit squad evenly leveled. It was fun being able to use everyone evenly, and all 10 of the units were competent (I was playing on Tactical).

And then I ran out of room to put new characters and my motivation to continue playing kinda dived off a cliff. <_<

It's fine if they want to limit the number of units, but they could've at least let you save entire formations so you could quickly swap whole teams in and out.

Oof. +2 is for Alolan Exeggutor. I did not really want to + anything besides Buzzwole. On that note, you jerks better not manage to kill Buzzwole in this weak ass group.

CLOSE COMBAT

+2 Totodile

Heads up, backers who got the physical super early are being advised not to start until a pre-release patch is released. Apparently game breaking bugs, and save files from before the patch may still be corrupted. The patch should be in out in time for the 72-hour early access window.

Anecdotally, a lot of people have commented on my FF7 Rebirth press event hoodie in public (neat) but at least a third have told me they are waiting for all three games to be out before they start, ha.

For me it's because I want to know I'll actually have a way of finishing the trilogy before I start. Right now I could play Remake on PS4 or Steam Deck, but I'm not buying a PS5. Even if Rebirth works well enough on Deck (sounds doubtful?), Part 3 certainly won't. So I need to wait for Part 3 to come out and see if there will even be a way for me to play it (Deck 2? Switch 2 trilogy ports?). Only then will I start on Remake.

It should've been Weedle AND Graveler.

There was no saving Swoobat, but Regieleki didn't deserve to go down too. And yeah, Weedle should've died instead of Okidogi.

I should probably load up that prequel game soon.

I think Mamoswine flows well from Swinub. It's just that Piloswine is kinda bad.

Hmm... Yeah, I can agree with that.

Johnbobb posted...

Voted gen I've ice almost solely for mamoswine

Has there ever been an evolution introduced generations later that was nearly that well done?

I like Mamoswine well enough on its own merits, but I honestly don't think it flows that well as a natural Piloswine evo. It just looks like it has a much different design philosophy behind it than the first two forms.

Even without the few good Megas, VI's Dragons win. Tyrunt line is one of the best Dragons in the series, goofy Goomy line is cool, Zygarde is one of my favorite legendaries, Noibat is adorable, and Dragalge is neat. Noivern is my least favorite of the bunch, but it's still decent enough.

Yes, based on old memories. Who knows how I'd feel if I watched it now.

Vivi > Mario

I don't care about any others.

All of the Gen IV Fightings end in greatness.

Also not sure how you miss one of three fossils for Gen I, lol.

OBLIVION WING

ELECTRIFY

I hope both the Gen IX fish can pull through here.

Technology is advanced enough to teleport shit out of my pants but not out of my anus before it leaves the body?

This future tech is garbage.

You have to wear a buttplug for that technology.

I loved my Seel and Vulpix not-Beanie Babies.

Also votes Dunban/Reyn in this wonderful Xenoblade day.

Assuming "no trace" means it leaves my butthole totally clean and there is no smell, then yeah I don't see why not. I'm sure over time I'd get good at doing it without it being noticeable.

IV Ghost only has three I feel strongly about, and I Fire's Top 3 are stronger than them, let alone also having a few more good ones on top of that.

SOUL-STEALING 7-STAR STRIKE
+3 Grapploct
+2 Swoobat
+1 Wyrdeer
-1 Ting-Lu
-2 Rampardos
-3 Lopunny

Bah, there are four things I want to give +3s to. I feel like Camerupt is the safest to omit... but I have no expectations of Swoobat surviving either way.

SHADOW BONE
+3 Pumpkaboo
+2 Leafeon
+1 Okidogi
-1 Weedle
-2 Spewpa
-3 Graveler

Meanwhile here it's hard to decide which ones I even like enough to give a couple +s too. :(

I'm not 100% convinced I've heard of it, but I probably have.

I predict Gen I Fire and Water in the finals.

Passimian scoring so low in such a weak division is sad. Liepard and Oranguru scoring so high is also sad.
