[you know what the network needs more of?

if you said anything other than 'smug douchebags' then you're wrong. as a bonus, this particular smug douchebag seems to have gotten himself a badge, which he seems to be examining skeptically.]

I must say, that was far less difficult than I expected it to be. Are all of the Gym Leaders so easily defeated? I will be sorely disappointed if I'm not forced to actually employ strategic thinking at least once.

[it was a bit rougher than it could have been, but that was only because Hypnosis kept failing to effect Falkner's Pokemon. his luck...]

Of course, I wouldn't bother posting to the network just to discuss my victory. [yes you would.] I would rather discuss the badges themselves-has anyone analyzed them to any extent? I've heard that they have several odd properties, which lead me to wonder if there was anything about their design that would warrant that.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

That's a really smart idea! Usually I keep my pokemon all around the same level and switch them out when needed. Besides, aren't your reserves usually weaker? [ Because that's what she learned. They're usually slightly weaker and meant to support alongside the main fighters for sheer overwhelming numbers and competency. ]

Yes, that's generally the mindset behind reserves. Though, keeping things around the same level... that's a surprisingly logical idea, coming from you. Of course, I'm not going to waste any time on things that don't appear to be working out.

Well, I have to say I do have my moments! [ She's actually smarter than she looks! She's just labeled under "surprisingly competent" most of the time. ] But that's what I did when I got a pokemon that was severely under-leveled compared to the rest of my team!

[well, at least she seems self-aware...]

I do have some Pokemon like that, so it's worth looking into. The routes leading towards Azalea seem to have less powerful Pokemon than the ones leading toward Goldenrod, so I'll keep that in mind while I'm traveling.

[ a little too self aware.... ]

You should bring your underleveled ones and raise them along the way! When you go to Azalea, make sure you defeat all the trainers in the gym before going to the gym leader! It's good training and it gives you a feel of the environment.

Hah, as if I wasn't going to do that anyway. Even if the trainers aren't particularly difficult, I've noticed that my Pokemon seem to learn more quickly if they're fighting trained Pokemon than they do if they're fighting wild Pokemon.

That's right! Trained pokemon accumulate stronger statistics based on the enemies they fight~! That's why they're stronger than normal pokemon! [ ...Oops. Did she really just went all 'what she really knows' on Kanyeth. ]

Is that so? How very interesting...

[oh my god Rangiku did you just introduce Kayneth to the concept of EV training]

Yeah! I've noticed, sometimes, when I end up destroying a lot of Oddish out in the woods near by, that my pokemon's special attack increases are a lot larger than what you'd get otherwise! I think it's because of these bonuses you get by fighting pokemon that the pokemon you train are much much stronger!

[ she just did yep ]

[rangiku no we do not need kayneth becoming a competitive pokemon player]

Really? That's very interesting. Of course, it's completely logical that fighting different opponents would give different skills, so I'm surprised it didn't occur to me sooner.

[ Kanyeth left johto and invented smogon. ]

I can't believe I noticed it before you! You're super analytical about everything! [ WOO ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR RANGIKU. Her intelligence left just as quickly as it came, too!! ]

Yes, well, I've simply been paying more attention to the bigger picture at the moment. How long have you been here, even?

[why can't you be consistent

NOT SURE IF IDIOT WITH OCCASIONAL FLASHES OF BRILLIANCE OR LAZY-ASS GENIUS]

I've been here since March thirtieth of last year~! So, I've been here for awhile to know how Johto works and everything~! Or, at least, I can tell about the usual Johto patterns.

[ WELL, KANYETH, YOU AND CANON HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON. YOU BOTH CAN'T DECIDE WHICH ONE IT IS. I personally lean towards lazy-ass genius since she uses her intelligence to avoid work, but, at the same time, she's just super whimsical so maybe it's occasional flashes of genius or some weird fake dumbness but true laziness thing. ]

[the truth revealed, kayneth is kubo tite

everything makes sense now]

Yes, that would explain it. I'd assume anyone would catch on to that sort of thing after that long.

[ does kanyeth have an abnormally large fondness for abnormally large breasts? ]

No, I don't think many people have, actually. Even people that have been here for a good year or two are sometimes surprised by other people's experiences~!

[...Sola has the largest bust size of the female F/Z cast

make of that what you will]

I suppose that would be the case, particularly given that most people wouldn't be paying enough attention to notice such a thing.

[ It's not even an 8th of BLEACH size. It's barely a level below Yoruichi, who is sort of larger than normal. At least they look like they don't defy physics. ]

Yeah. Most people only seem to care for winning, not how they get there or the results~!

That sort of uncouth approach to things being incredibly common really doesn't surprise me at all.

I know. The worst part is, there seems to be no real soul or zest for the pokemon they're raising and training. It's just winning, winning, winning.

How are you supposed to win if you don't bother to learn anything about them, anyway?

[KAYNETH I THINK YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT HERE]

I didn't mean it like that. I meant it like, if you don't know the pokemon's personality, you can't make a plan that best suits it.

...Wouldn't that qualify for what we've been talking about? I've noticed that Pokemon with different personalities seem to have different strengths and weaknesses.

I was referring to bonding and growing through that so you can continue to get stronger as you fight, not clinically assessing their personality for the sole purpose of winning. But, at least it's better than what the others are doing.

It most certainly is.

[HA HA HA, BONDS, WHO NEEDS THOSE]

What's your philosophy about pokemon?

[ ....This conversation might not end well. ]
