I do have to absolutely disagree with unranking all of the old espeed users; diggersby in particular still hits like a truck on its own, and snorlax can still be a very effective late game cleaner with a belly drum + quick attack set once certain mons have been removed. I've never used Bewear so...

It's not necessarily either. Romantic orientation (who you're attracted to in a romantic sense) and sexual orientation (who you're attracted to in a sexual sense) are not always the same. Me personally I'm bisexual homoromantic (okay well it's more complicated than that but I won't go into that...

I'm not gender-fluid myself, so I can't speak to that experience specifically, but I can give some general insights as a non-binary (and generally just deep in the queer community) person. So first of all, I dunno what pronouns this person specifically prefers (I know some gender-fluid people...

I usually lurk here instead of posting but creative writing major incoming I'd definitely make an effort to submit something (key: make an effort; sometimes I'm too swamped with essays for leisure writing), and am also willing to judge I guess if it's needed/wanted As far as the rules go, I...

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. I don't really have much to say about it, honestly. This day drags me down every year. But it's something that we need to acknowledge. As a transgender woman myself, living in the southern United States, I feel positively terrified reading about all...

That first little while after you start realizing these things can be utterly terrifying (or at least, it was for me), but once you start to sort yourself out everything gets better. Congratulations (because this really is an achievement)! Sounds like you have your bases covered, but if you (or...

I fall outside of myself~ Nice to see another Miracle of Sound fan, Replica is one of his best songs.

I'm pretty ambivalent on the Koko ban, but I'm glad Lovely Kiss is finally out of the meta. It just pushed too many normal-type set-up users (mostly Megabunny) over the edge. On another note, I was reading over the old council conversations from the XY and ORAS eras (back when I was relevant)...

As a bit of background, I was raised Lutheran, spent about a year agnostic, converted back to Christianity afterward, and I'm currently deist agnostic. On the one hand, I think the universe is too overwhelmingly complex to be the result of anything but a creator. The best example is DNA; DNA is...

I'd like to weigh in on this as I'm a (genderqueer) transwoman myself. You're entitled to have your preferences for dating someone, and I don't think there's anything wrong with being a straight male and not wanting to have sex with a pre-op transwoman. However, healthy relationships are not...

So, I left smogon a while back (something like a year ago I think) after kind of burning myself out on competitive pokemon. I came back recently and am slowly re-learning everything with the gen 7 changes, and STABmons is the first thing I checked out, since it's always been my most-played...

I haven't faced or used any of those enough to have an opinion except M-Blastoise. Mega Launcher Origin Pulse is really strong and difficult to switch into, and it threatens both Sableye and Gengar with OHKOs if they want to switch into Rapid Spin. It has the bulk to check many powerful...

I want to be an emergency medical technician. I'm already certified in first aid (little field experience, but that should change this summer). I'm taking the compass this year to get into concurrent classes, and when I go to college I will most likely be taking ASU's EMT class. I have a driving...

The most I have of a plan (as far as telling them) is bringing up the issue under the guise of objecting to their treatment of my cousin (who is transgender) and leading into my general argument and convincing of my views (and it's a "maybe" whether or not I'll be able to do that) before telling...

I know I'm not much of a presence here in Cong (I really only am in OMs and occasionally in CAP, and very little of either lately) so probably not many of you know me, but...yeah, I'm a person. So before I get to my point, I'll explain my background--I'm the child of a woman with a...

Ugh. We've gone over this before. A long time ago. It was right after the Sylveon/PZ suspect. I don't have time to find all the posts and quote them so go look yourself. Anywhere from page 20 to 25 I think. Short answer: No. We're not banning Boomburst.

Um, I don't want to jump into this argument, but how is tailoring an EV spread to do what you want it to do "ludicrous"? While I completely disagree with the decision, I do agree there's no point in arguing about it anymore, but I don't like seeing an argument dismissed as "ludicrous" and...

Keldeo can't check it the first turn it's out because it loses to FakeSpeed, and MScizor, as I said, loses to Fire Punch or even Precipice Blades if it's weakened. They are shaky checks. That was my point. And FakeSpeed from Braviary is strong enough to take care of what it needs to, and it also...

I'm not fully jumping into the discussion right now, but I wanted to say a couple things. 252+ Atk Silk Scarf Huge Power Diggersby Fake Out vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Keldeo: 111-132 (34.2 - 40.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO 252+ Atk Silk Scarf Huge Power Diggersby Extreme Speed vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Keldeo: 222-262...
