So just curious to anyone with pokemon x and y, does anyone know yet if mawile has any new moves besides Fairy wind?

 

[Fluttershy]

it can learn power up punch (fighting and a tm) which increases attack. as for fairy moves I'm not sure for moonlight blast but it can't learn dazzling gleam ( hits all enemies but not allies and is a tm) only thing by what tms since i didn't raise one yet.
edit it learns play rough as well 90 power and accuracy

 

[BJN39]

So Zeldas, have you done anything interesting recently?

So Zeldas, have you done anything interesting recently?

Well my place got flooded so I've been moving stuff and getting things in order for a month. Also I'm planning a protest against Walmart.

 

[#HBC | Scary]

Oooof, hope things get better with that rizen.

 

[Rizen]

Oooof, hope things get better with that rizen.

Thanks . It's been a hell of a month but I'm finally back home. ...with a mountain of boxes to unpack.
I was lucky my place didn't get totally washed away like some.

Oh, me and Vinnie teamed for the LT teams event i held at WHOBO 5. Here are our results.

Also I'm planning a protest against Walmart.

What happened with Walmart?

 

[Rizen]

@Xyro did you get a chance to play ALSM or TriforceOSM in singles?

What happened with Walmart?

Oh man. Well first of all you (you the reader, editorial usage) know Walmart has low prices but at the hidden cost of ruining the economy by outsourcing jobs/products and paying terrible wages with no benefits for workers?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/06/walmart-outsourcing-depresses-wages_n_1573885.html

History:
Walmarts are getting really crafty at sneaking in towns. Here they opened a mall Walmart by going through a source that didn't actually show their name. People started getting suspicious by the color scheme. So a local newspaper wrote and asked 'is a Walmart coming?' and got no response. They tried several times over the months before the Walmart was built. Then finally when it was built people were surprised by it sneaking in, we have had a lot of opposition. The paper interview Walmart and they said they were always honest about coming but this was the same paper who tried to call them and see what store was coming in for months. So the printed an article saying 'Walmart lies, we tried to call them and communicate for a long time and they used sneaky techniques to get a store here (avoiding most legal procedures by going in an existing building without using the Walmart name) and avoided answering us. This is the kind of store Walmart is'.

Speaker from another town:
So I came to support an anti-Walmart group with 3 people from another progressive group and heard about that. We also had speakers from another town where an Walmart had been stopped from building over a lake (filling it in) years before. An 'urban renewal authority' said they would turn a run down mall into a new shopping center a few years ago but they did nothing and let the properties get worse and worse. Now they want to put a Walmart in there! This is mostly a residential area btw. Walmart said they invited people from the neighborhood for a Q&A discussion and the speaker for our group lived a block away from the site and she wasn't invited; as far as we know it didn't happen or was private. Walmart has done a ton of underhanded stuff like paying people to go and say a vote in city council already happened and Walmart was voted in- when it hadn't happened yet! They pay people to go to protests and act abusive (making a little girl cry) to attract cops break them up. Now they're basically building this huge Walmart- that has already made a local Safeway and other local store close after the announcement- in an urban neighborhood that has opposed them for years. People have attended city council meetings over and over agaist it. People doing nothing except wear a Pinocchio nose mask and wig have been dragged out of meetings and arrested for 'disorderly conduct' when they were sitting quietly waiting for there turn to speak! Walmart lost votes by a lot and was 'voted in'. What is this the gestapo?!

Another speaker was a worker and member of OURWalmart (Organization United for Respect), a union like group of Walmart workers.
http://forrespect.org/
talking about how they keep hours at 39.5, where 40 hours a week gets benefits by law. They said only 19 workers had an isolated protest when over 160 people (iirc) were there. They've cut hours to keep people from getting benefits, bonuses in holiday times like Nov, Dec. She been thrown in jail despite legal rights to strike. All the BS is just sickening.

So we're formulating campaigns including boycotting Walmart, with online petitions to prove it's not a few people opposing Walmart like they claim. Comparing prices in other stores for alternatives (with compares well btw, Walmart is not necessary), getting the public informed, communications between Walmart and the cities/public (Walmart's terrible about this besides stupid propaganda ad BS). And helping other cities oppose Walmart before they can arrive. Walmart is learning and getting really sneaky!

______________________________________
The bottom line is Walmart does not treat workers like they should and destroys the economy by outsourcing jobs/products, running other stores out of buisness, and having working people on food stamps and gov support because they have no benefits like insurances and terrible wages. I think Jesus is rolling in his grave or whatever. You don't treat fellow humans like this! They disgust me!

PS
Nice thread title

 

[Xyro77]

@Xyro did you get a chance to play ALSM or TriforceOSM in singles?

TOSM? nope. but every time I have ever played him I have never lost or even come close to losing. I did play ALSM 2-3 weeks ago. We went 1-1. I should be playing him again Nov 9th.

 

[Rizen]

On the subject of Zelda in teams, who would be Zelda's best low tier partner?

 

[ぱみゅ]

 

[Xyro77]

On the subject of Zelda in teams, who would be Zelda's best low tier partner?

In my experience, Zelda and Mario are Samus best partners. If we are using v7 of the tier list, i can honestly say samus+lucas or lucas+zelda are the best teams PERIOD. Healing, spiking, kill power, damage building.....perfect.

 

[Rizen]

I heard somewhere that Link+Samus work very well as a low tier team because their spacing complements each other but I haven't done it myself. Link mostly doesn't do well in teams. Link+Link or Link+Bowser might be the very worst team.
Zelda is a great teams character. She is probably upper mid tier for doubles.

 

[BJN39]

Whenever I hear SSBB teams, all I can think of is Pokemon. > _ >


In this case, Zelda could be UU in teams, but LC (lol) in Singles.

 

[ぱみゅ]

I was about to say she was NU because she can't get anywhere, but then I remembered her Down-Special, so I guess LC is about right haha

And Lucas+Anyone in Low Tier is a great team, too bad Lucas should've never been LT in the first place.
IMO, Zelda really appreciates a partner with good mobility, she can apply all kinds of pressure from EVERYWHERE.

Oh, and I don't know what to think about a partner with many projectiles, it feels so hap-hazardous to have them just flying all the time...

 

[Rizen]

Lucas got bumped up to mid tier but he was low tier before now. He's just good enough to be above low tier imo.
Zelda really shines in teams, or rather sparkles . I've only used her a few times in teams offline. I almost never enter teams.

 

[#HBC | Scary]

Zelda in teams.... Good stuff.

 

[BJN39]

Happy Halloween Zeldas!

Did any of you do anything interesting todaynight?
All I did was sit at home and play Animal Crossing... TBH though, It was lots of fun anyways.

 

[ぱみゅ]

I helped building the altar. (:

 

[#HBC | Scary]

I kinda ruptured my Achilles' tendon.....

That was awful.

 

[KayLo!]

Ew ew ew, ruptured?? How did that happen?

 

[#HBC | Scary]

I went outside to do simple conditioning in my Strength Shoes. Next thing I know while I'm in mid-stride doing high knees, worst feeling ever. It was a solid thump like feeling on the inside that was just brutal. Almost passed out from the pain lol.

Probably got me a date with surgery coming up soon.

 

[BJN39]

That sounds... pretty bad.

I hope it doesn't become anything serious.

 

[#HBC | Scary]

Lol. My only concern is that the impending surgery goes over well, with no complications afterward.

Achilles' tendon injury blows so bad lol. Can't walk or even put weight on my leg; gotta use crutches or a wheelchair right now. Also cannot take a shower at the moment due to this fiber glass brace on my leg. I'm gonna have to bag my leg or something to do that.

 

[Rizen]

I hope everything turns out okay Ed

 

[ぱみゅ]

Let's make a class project and send Get Well cards to Ed.

 

[#HBC | Scary]

You guys don't have to do that lol!

Orthopedic appointment set on Monday. Probably gonna tell me everything I already know. I'll give updates as it goes.

 

[ぱみゅ]

butbutbut... I was working so hard in this card

 

[#HBC | Scary]

Okie dokie lol!

 

[BJN39]

Random new Pokemon fact.

In Pokemon X and Y, It's been discovered that delibird can be bred the move

Spikes.

>Insert missing logic here<


.... ' O . O
That birds got spikes!

 

[ぱみゅ]

It has some in its present boxes.
Surprised it doesn't get Poison Spikes or other kind of non self-generating attack

 

[BJN39]

But see, with that arguement, it should get a lot of really unorthodox moves added to it's movepool. Not that that would be a bad thing, it needs the help.

I'd love to see it with toxic spikes and stealth rock in it's movepool too, but GF logic...

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Reminds me of when we only had Pokemon Red and Blue and I got the TM06 Toxic and how every Pokemon could use. I would question how some Pokemon would be able to use a move like that.

 

[Rizen]

.... ' O . O
That birds got spikes!

Made me think of:

 

[BJN39]

OMG I didn't even think of that. XD

"Delibird confired 4 OU"

 

[ぱみゅ]

Hey look, Silent is around!
And yes, everyone being able to use Toxic is a neat thing.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Hey kyo! I'm still on deployment. The Ship has pretty bad connection. Some of the ports I've hit don't have the best connection either. That's why I can't wait to get back to Japan.

 

[KayLo!]

Welcome back! How long til you're permanently back on land?

 

[ぱみゅ]

I'm sure that everything seems to have a bad connection when you compare it to Japan's
