Current Topic: If you could use one Psychic-type move in real life, which would it be? Why?
Hmmm hard question!
Doesnt psychic and telekinesis do the same thing? Psychic allows u to move things around with your mind and lift them and hurt them in such and so does telekinesis lol. Well for me i would have to say Future Sight because its basically looking into the future. i can cheat everything in life! XD but i could stop disasters see myself and the choices i should and shouldnt make and really what could it not help u with? It would just be so awesome to know the future. Also id love to say IM PSYCHIC FOR REALZ PEOPLE! Lol u could also do that and become famous. Or be locked up for being a freak XD
Oh and sorry for not chipping in on the last topic been busy with life battling and my clubs lol
Psychic and Telekinesis DO seem to do the same thing... but that's if you're going by the anime's interpretation. If you're going by the game's, Psychic only really does damage and would cause mass destruction. Future Sight is a really interesting choice though. You could be one of those TV psychics!
Ha ha, it's no problem. We're active when we have something to say. This club's for fun, there's no need to stress it.
Since we're on the topic, what do you think these attacks would do in real life? :
Ally Switch (change places with another person?)
Amnesia (forget stuff? :P)
Calm Mind
Cosmic Power
Gravity
Guard Split
Guard Swap
Heal Block
Imprison
Magic Coat
Magic Room
Miracle Eye
Mirror Coat
Power Split
Power Swap
Power Trick
Psycho shift
Role Play
Skill Swap
Synchronoise
Trick
Trick Room
Wonder Room
Interesting question! Let me think about some of these.
I imagine Amnesia would be useful if you want to block something from your brain that was traumatic or horrible. And if you could somehow use it on others... the potential...
Calm Mind would probably just be something that powers up your Psychic abilities if we're saying they exist in this world. Or perhaps it is a kind of relaxation technique that eliminates stress from your mind and allows you to concentrate. Similar to real world methods, but more... instantly effective. Wow, if I think about it like that... I'd love to have that one.
Gravity seems like it'd be pretty obvious. Imagine using that on an airplane. O_O
Imprison would have a much much more useful application in the real world. Preventing people from using ANY sort of tools? You could be a superhero. They'd be unable to use guns and other harmful weapons. Of course... if a bad person got ahold of this... it wouldn't be good for medical equipment.
Mirror Coat I imagine would make it so that whatever powers another person tries to use on you bounces off. Assuming this imaginary universe where everyone has one Psychic-type move exists, it would be very useful.
Trick Room... that'd be good for getting through traffic! Ha. I imagine it makes things that are moving really slow just zip right on by quickly, whilst Role Play would make you into the Kirby of this strange reality. Use other peoples' powers! That one's OP. :O
And just plan Trick... hee. That one would just work the way it does in the games. If someone has some kind of tool or item, you just switch it right on up with them! It'd be less detrimental than Imprison, but would be fun for a party trick. Or a Magician.
Skill Swap would probably just let you switch a Psychic-move power with someone else.
Hello! I would like to join as well :D
Username: Saronai
Partner Pokemon: Meloetta
Why You Want to Join the Club: I like most of the psychic types and think the idea of psychic abilities is rather cool in general. Also, you have a really fun topic under discussion right now and I thought maybe I should stop ghosting responses and finally come up with my own :D
Thoughts on Current Topic: Hm...teleport would be really super useful...
But I'm gonna have to go with Heal pulse, I think. Especially since Doctors in the real world are incredibly expensive where I am, even with insurance (that's incidently so expensive we can seldom afford copays anyway). Would be nice to just do a little bit of healing my loved ones each day until I run out of PP. Then again...they'd probably just work to restore our energy for the day and any physical injuries, not illnesses, which would likely count as status effects? Still, a little bit of healing magic would be nice, even if it was limited.
I love Meloetta so much that I broke my slow climb through the games, insisting I didn't need the new ones while I was still all the way back enjoying my Emerald playthrough. As soon as I saw her I caught up in the games to my son and husband (who were on B/W/B2/W2 at the time. Fortunately it was shortly after our tax returns so I could afford to. I actually already had Pearl and I skipped HG and SS at the time because I didn't like Lyra's design (my son gave me his copy of SS later anyway).
Anyway, she's adorable, and when you click over to her and she does her little song, even more so. In my opinion, out of all the pokemon, she has the most pleasant (and cutest) "cry." Also...it doesn't hurt that I love music and enjoy singing probably as much as Meloetta does :D
As to the topic at hand, yeah, teleport would be fun and flashier, help me affordably see the world and such, but heal pulse is just...far too necessary in this world for me to pass up. Perhaps if it existed, health centers around the world would be free like a pokecenter for people, and the perks might include really nice, designated housing to allow them to stay rent and bill free.
Yeah, we're already living in a fantasy world so why not say all these people would have to worry for in their lives is showing up for their shift and improving their skills in harmony with science and education. Those in charge see fit they are otherwise comfortably taken care of for all they do for the community. This way everyone gets free health care and those providing it get much-deserved perks.
Not that I would insist on such a thing if I was one with heal pulse. I just want it because I hate seeing people in pain, especially those close to me. It does get me thinking about our real, hidden potentials in areas we dismiss as mere fantasy though. Starting with our body's extra ability at healing itself when the placebo effect activates. Who knows, maybe some sort of heal pulse is hidden in there, using the mind to trick the body into serious repair mode.
I'll stop rambling now lol.
Welcome! You have been added to the list. Aaah, that's quite a nice answer. I do wish myself that doctors weren't so ridiculously expensive. I got a hospital bill of $800 just for being neglected by a doctor and a nurse for four hours when I had the flu, and was then given an over-the-counter medicine that I could've bought for much cheaper which removed my fever and sent away. A few Heal Pulsers in our world would certainly help out in moments like that, even if it'd only just get rid of physical injuries. The less injuries and less tired we are, the more illnesses we'd be able to prevent.
It's also interesting to think about the difference between a person who would have Recover and one who would have Heal Pulse. Heal yourself, or heal only others? I'd go with the latter, because I'd rather not live if the people I cared about couldn't be saved. Besides, you could just find a fellow Heal Pulser to help you out.
Meloetta is also a very nice choice. I am partial to the pretty feminine humanoid Pokemon myself, and I love her flowing green hair. Thumbs up on that reasoning there, and a Pokemon being so awesome that it inspired you to play more of the games.
