Yeah well... To be fair, in Friuli we really need to thank the regional government for closing everything down before getting a single official case, before the entire country started realizing what was happening....unlucky the rules weren't hard enough and a lot of people didn't take the virus too seriously at the beginning (and this is the national government fault) and we are now paying for the last 2 weeks mistakes. Hospitals, especially in Lombardia are facing a really big crisis, mostly cause of the number of beds and machines needed for the worst cases aren't enough, but right now the soldiers are starting some "camp hospitals" so it should be getting better... Markets are still up and running, honestly people didn't really hoard them for food, but mostly for other utilities like pellet, and such. But it's honestly really upsetting seeing other countries doing literally nothing to contain the spreading of the virus, especially France, that is second for numbers in EU. Also, @Vorred

Thanks man, I really appreciate that you remember that it's my birthday

Yeah yeah... It's pretty ok right here, no cases in town, people is doing fine without going crazy. Not really cool beeing forced to stay at home all day, but have to cope with it

Vaan wasn't the main character of the XII. He was meant to represent the player, a normal kid getting caught up in something bigger than him, that stuck around till the end of the journey. Vaan was supposed to be the one whoose point of view we would use to see the story and the world of the grown ups. Ashe was the main character, the one that a real and solid goal in the story, followed by Basch and his persona redemption. Those are the 2 that kept the story moving, mostly Ashe, who was there at the beginning, and at the end of the game. Bathier also had some importance and goals in all of this, mostly a clean up of his past and from his father; he said in the end that he is the protagonist of the story to Vaan, and while he actually isn't, what he said to Vaan is important because it removes the protagonist role from Vaan himself, and pointing out that even if you aren't the main character, the main focus of the story or adventure, there is something that only you can do, and your contribute is no less usefull than the others. Fran and Penelo on the other hand are really there just as sidekick for their respective male counterparts. I think Fran had just a little moment on the Viera village and no more. The only think you'll remember Penelo for is getting kidnapped on the mine or whatever. I think FF XII was a lot underrated because it's the story of a group of men, fighitng other men. There are no otherwordly enemies trying to destroy the world. no witchies trying to distort time, no soldiers genetically tempered with alien genoma. Just normal humans ( considering them normal in a world where you get out of the city and get attacked by Dinos) fighting for normal and wordly things. Also, while i agree that XIII and sequels are really bad FF games, and that i don't consider XV a canon Final Fantasy, there are at least 3 other spin off that deserve to be mentioned. FF Tactics, either version for PSP or PS1. It's just a masterpiece. War of the Lions would have been the best game for PSP was it not for Tactics Ogre LUCT. FF Crisis Core, different king of game from all the others, has probably the best story of all, and the final battle, is just perfect. They were able to mix toghether battle and story all in one making you feeling how drammatic the moment was. FF Agito or Type 0. It's a pretty cool game, but really hard. It honestly left the Final Fantasy style and went on a more modern one. but still the last good Final Fantasy that was released (Fuck Brave Exvius)

Intimidate no longer affects Pokémon with Inner Focus, Oblivious, Scrappy, or Own Tempo. Intimidate also now triggers Rattled. Not just inner focus btw

I think Dynamax is ok in doubles, just like is fine in VGC. But that's a totally different format compared to singles. Except the Gigantimax pokemon, the Dark Fairy one, that has a 100% accuracy move that hits both opponents and put them to sleep Fucking Dark Void on super steroids

You Pls respond

87% pro ban... Showdown is having some networking issues, but I guess the ban will be up as soon as the problems are solved. Anyway, Max Airstream was just one of the many issues with Dynamax in my opinion, but not the only one, or the most broken. Honestly, while I belive the ban is the most fair choice, I think that maybe it could have been looked a little more into it, having maybe a split OU with and without Dynamax. But at least, no more Dittos on every team.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8ou-1030639908 Still think Dynamx isnt really a good mechanic

Dynamax would be really cool and healthy for the game :^)

"NU was a mistake" @Senile 2015 (probably)

I honestly think they could just ban Dynamax from OU and lower tiers, and add a new format, the same as OU but that lets you use Dynamax, but that is not an Uber tier

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8ou-1021867010 i may just be bad but i don't like Dynamax at all, at least in singles. You are pretty much giving massive bulk, massive offense AND FREE BOOST all at once while dealing damage. Flying and Fighting moves are pretty much the worst to have, but weather ones are also quite nasty. You named Gyarados. Dragon Dance, Water Moves for Weather Boost, Flying Move for Speed Boost and Moxie is already a pain to stop without using your Dynamax or some specific counters, depending on what the third attack is (Rotom W dies to Power Whip, Electric Types to EQ, Ferro is probably the most solid check, altho there are madmans with Rock Smash for the sweet Atk Boost and anyway decent damage after dynamax). How to stop it then? Let it kill something and then send in your Ditto. GG EZ THX 4 FREE BST Thanks to all the boosts going around with Dynamax Ditto has seen a rise in usage that i don't remeber since the introduction of Imposter. In itself it's not a terrible thing, if it wasn't that after stealing your buffs, with a Scarf to grab your balls, it can just Dynamax again with your Pokemon to get pretty much the effects of 2 Dyanamax in a match. Another thing that i really hate is that Encore doesn't carries over the Dynamax, just like it did for Z Moves. Nerfing the move quite a bit. You encore me on a set up move? Too bad for you. Outside of that, there are quite a bunch of new cool introductions, most new pokes are pretty cool (except for Darmanitan) and the new Items are really interesting And then there is Moody Cancer, please ban.
