Fact Checking Gardevoir

Absolutely love the aesthetic of your page <3

Indeed we do, but some favorites turn into overrated pokemon very quicky, especially Game Freak's totally not biased Charizard and Pikachu fetishes.

Seriously, ENOUGH ALREADY! It's getting really old, fellas!

Yeah, it's nice to see that. As for me, i have mixed feelings about the Ralts line. Gardevior is good and all, but i'm not rushing to use it anytime soon. It's a bit too frail for my liking. Great coverage, though, and Gallade is always worth a shot if psy/fighting power is what you need.

Yeah, i guess it is!

Bringing it back to Gardevoir, i feel like that pokemon has a... somwehat bad rep among the fans/community. Mainly because of the, let's call it "questionable" artwork that's been made over the years. It kind of paints Gardevior in a bad spot, kind of the same way Lopunny has it bad. Doesn't mean i don't hate those pokemon, but they've had it rough.

(WHEEZE) It's fine, that happens sometimes. Although funnily enough Aggron actually DOES get Surf and Ice Beam, so it's not too much of a stretch. On the subject of Swampert, i always liked it the best of the 3 Hoenn starters. Sceptile was originally my favorite, but it feels outclassed by the other grass starters. (And other fast glass cannons, let's be honest) Blaziken was...fine, although i consider it pretty overrated. Not to mention, it started the whole fire/fighting type starter trend for 3 generations straight.

That's hilarious considering Aggron's not very good Sp.Atk stat XD
But then again the physical/special split didn't exist yet which is why i had a hard time figuring out why everyone seems to love Emerald. I just couldn't get invested. Pokemon got so much better with said split which is why i much prefer ORAS if i want a good gen 3 experience.

Don't you worry, i already know how good Leaf Storm is on Contrary Serperior. I play this ROM hack called Blaze Black 2 Redux, which is a mod of Black 2 where battles are a bit harder, pokemon get types/moves/stats changed, all pokemon are catchable, etc. Serperior got a GREAT buff in that game. They made it Grass/Dragon with access to Draco Meteor. That plus Leaf Storm and a boost to some of its stats turned it into a sweeping monster with incredible firepower.

In terms of picking Pokemon, i usually go by how good they are and what they can offer. I don't like 'mons with shallow movepools since i LOVE having a ton of coverage. If you have an answer for everything, nothing can stop you!

You got that right, B2W2 was a cinematic masterpiece! I never really took notice of Serperior's defensive qualities mainly because of Contrary's immense power potential. Liking Mew is understandable, i think, but i never really found it to be too spectacular with 100 in every stat. (Even though it's all balanced so you can pick and choose which stats to focus on) Learning almost every move is no joke, though. As for Salamence, i used to not like it all that much, but then i tried it out and i found myself liking it somewhat. When compared to other dragons like Dragonite, Hydreigon, or even Flygon, Salamence didn't feel distinctive to me. Something that made it stand out, you know? But having Intimidate is a great tool up its sleeve, not to mention Moxie. Salamence definitely kicked it into high gear come ORAS when it got a Mega. It was so good that they had to nerf Aerilate!

I have a few, but i'd say my No. 1 is Serperior. It was my first true pokemon i ever got in White 2 and even though it SUCKS without Contrary, i still like it and its shiny form. Garchomp and Mewtwo are my two other favorites. In Mewtwo's case, it was always a symbol of raw power and status to me. How could anyone NOT use it? I like Garchomp for similar reasons, but mainly because it's such a good dragon/ground type. I seek it out any time it's available. NO, it's NOT because of Cynthia, either.

hmmm I suppose we're mortal enemies then if you pledge allegiance to the Vanu Soverignity... I side with NC lmao

Thanks for the post on the returning members thread! Nice to meet you too, for sure! Gardevoir is pretty epic if i do say so myself.

d'aww you!! you are the most precious gardevoir in the universe!
*snuggle*

hey you! this have been a little chaotic not gonna lie! but, going in a positive direction overall. n_n; thank you for being so diligent and taking such good care of M&G while I've been busy!!

Heyy, congrats to the mod spot :) M&G is a lovely place, and you seem like a nice person so it seems like it's in good hands. Good luck and enjoy the job! Sincerely, an oldie

Been sorta wanting to try that game out for a while now, but it's just too heavy for me haha. Perhaps when I eventually go back to a full on desktop where I can fully control how many hard drives I can have~

For the meantime though I might just actually tackle the missions for once. There hasn't been a single GTA game where I actually finished everything needed in the main storyline lmao.

Ohh I forgot about that feature. I don't think I've ever used it because yeah the stock music they have are bangers on their own. Insane just how many radio stations they have. I've discovered some cool songs from the OST and are now in my personal playlists heh.

4-6 hours travel by foot? Sounds like a relaxing weekend activity for you then eh? :3

There's just something therapeutic about messing about in free roam mode in those games eh? No wonder why they'r'e so successful haha.

I just recently subscribed to a GTA 6 dedicated subreddit actually, and seeing that fan made Florida / Vice City inspired map was incredible. I really hope the next game will have a map like twice or thrice as huge haha. I will literally invest in larger hard drives for it :p

Oh for sure. I was deeply sad from 2013-2018 when I couldn't play GTA 5 at all bcs I didn't have a beefy enough PC to be able to handle it, and when I did I milked the heck out of that experience haha. All graphics set to the highest, all the cheats set in place so I wouldn't be bothered by police or dying randomly, and I'd just explore what Los Santos has to offer <3 (If I'm not having a full on war with the military lmao) There's even mods that make the graphic experience even better and more life-like than it already is, but I'm still doubtful if said PC of mine is beefy enough to run it at a good FPS heh

howdy~ i sorta logged off right before you sent more GTA 5 chats so I didn't see it til now haha. I never would've guessed that you played those kinds of games, a pleasant surprise to hear~

I'm late but congrats on the promo <33 I used to mod new users as well, so it's nice to see new faces upon there <33
