Really, "big enough to have sex with" is quite a broad category. Especially as "sex" is itself quite a broad category. You could totally have sex with a Horsea, and that's tiny.

And that's definitely the weirdest thing I've ever posted.

Does anyone else play Pokémon Uranium? I'm currently four badges in and prepping a team to take the next Gym-Psychic. I've got Dark, Ghost, and I SHOULD have planned a bug type, but noooooo, I brought a stupid Feleng. Which evolves to be worse than Slowking.

Can't you just use a Chesto on Feliger and wake it up once it enters battle?

So I've recently got into Pokemon: TCG. And you know what I realized about it? It's completely arbitrary who wins the game. All you need is a good few first rounds and bam, you've buried your opponent under 50 feet of dirt.
I don't know how long I'll be back, but I just thought I'd stop in and say hi, at least.

You don't know that. It would be extremely preferable if you had certainty, but that's a luxury you simply do not have. The uncertainty, it is terrifying!

It's a Fangame that Nintendo banned because it was popular. :(

I'm training my team to challenge the seventh gym, an Ice Type I think. I was getting ready to challenge the 5th Gym earlier. I THOUGHT it was the Psychic one, but it ended up being a Fire Type. Fortunately, only one of my guys were super-weak to it. I should also note that the Psychic Gym was waaaaaaaaaaay easier.

Am I the only one who laughs whenever the PC tries to use an attack that your Pokémon is immune to?

It baffles me at best, although I would call the PC "computer opponent" to avoid confusion with the Pokemon Storage System (also known as the PC).

So is Uranium that good? I remember there being talk of a pokemon world that let you do almost everything and be whatever you want. IS Uranium better than that fangame?

That's actually a ROM Hack of FireRed. And considering it's still in alpha, it isn't fair to compare it to Uranium, which is mostly finished.

Also, it's called Mirage of Tales.

Sounds like a crossover fanfic of Pokemans and Fallout.

That would be cool.

Well, I wouldn't say that, but I will say that Uranium is awesome. The story is refreshing, too. Additionally, it has someone that acts like Gollum.

Hmm, I don't think I can see the connection with a post-apocalyptic horror series and a Japanese animé series well known for a cute electric mouse.

So I'm currently playing through Pokemon moon and I've just beaten the ghost trial. I have two steel types on my team and I plan on replacing one with the mascot legendary. The question is, who should stay and who should I sack? The choices are Magneton and Bastiodon.
Magneton
Pros:
-Good offensive capabilities
-Can inflict paralysis with thunder wave or tri attack
-Electric coverage
-Will evolve and get stronger
Cons:
-Quad weak to Ground
-Only electric move is electro ball
-Ability is Magnet Pull
Bastiodon
Pros:
-Ability is Sturdy
-Very good defense, something the rest of my team isn't oriented towards
-Good defensive typing
Cons:
-Underleveled compared to the rest of my team
-Offensive capabilities are not good
-More weaknesses, including a quad weakness to Ground
-Does not evolve further

Turning it over in my head I'm leaning towards Bastiodon but I want to get some other opinions on the matter
:^^^^^^^^^^^^)

Nevermind, I decided to stick with Magneton.
