If Democrats nominate Joe Biden, he may win, and we'll have four years of weak, feckless Democratic leadership. And then, in four years, he'll be defeated by a Republican Party even more openly white nationalist. If you nominate an Obama redux, you'll just get a worse Trump redux

@Moofievt If my thoughts from 2006 could tweet and knew the 'word' chungus.

@SDS_Des @im_a_blisy If I could play and get VP to unlock any mon, that would be similar to systems like LoL where you unlock by playing like you mentioned. Would that not still be a big step up from the current system of random recruitment and some megas locked behind non free to play games?

[SlurmEnthusiast @PAPippin]

@SDS_Des @im_a_blisy Deadlock gives you everything immediately on install, that should be the bar to meet for a modern PVP game but as I tried to emphasize originally, this is especially true for a game whose arguably biggest draw is building synergistic / fun teams.

@The_Xpurt @RedError4 @Alexis_Vgc I had a ton of fun getting into VGC for the first time (for me it was in sword) so I am absolutely rooting for this game. I just think its a shame they didn't follow the direction of other PVP games and give everyone everything they needed to compete from the get-go.

[SlurmEnthusiast @PAPippin]

@SDS_Des @im_a_blisy I can log into Deadlock and have every character and shop item available immediately. League of legends uses a similar in game currency to VP to unlock *specific* champions. Popular competitive games where the reward for my time spent is the enjoyment of the game itself.

[SlurmEnthusiast @PAPippin]

@The_Xpurt @RedError4 @Alexis_Vgc I would still say the recruit system in its entirely is antithetical to a competitive game as it puts players on different footings. My understanding is floette is not even recruitable at all? So no I dont think it would solve the problem but it would certainly help.

[SlurmEnthusiast @PAPippin]

@SDS_Des @im_a_blisy The time I'd like to spend is playing the actual game, and the benefits would be the enjoyment that comes from that process of building and testing teams. Why should I have to put in the work of buying and playing other games? Other successful PVP games do not work this way.

[SlurmEnthusiast @PAPippin]

@SDS_Des @im_a_blisy I have not played a single game on showdown ever, I want what I stated, which is to be free to be creative and build my own teams. They current random recruit system, the box size limit and the few megas locked behind other games prevents this unless I pay both time and money.

[SlurmEnthusiast @PAPippin]

@SDS_Des @im_a_blisy Why is that the goal post instead of being able to build creative synergistic teams using the entire roster of mons? I don't want to reach master ball using random good mons, I want to enjoy my experience playing and building teams uninhibited by this pointless system.

[SlurmEnthusiast @PAPippin]

@RedError4 @Alexis_Vgc It gets even worse actually, because, unless I missed something, there is no filter on Pokemon Home GTS Trade to differentiate where a mon was caught. In other words even if I setup a trade search for Delphox, I have no way of telling it I only want a ZA native.

[SlurmEnthusiast @PAPippin]

@RedError4 @Alexis_Vgc Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, and Floette do not have stones in the store. You have to transfer them from home, but they also need to have originally been caught in Z-A. For example, I transferred a Delphox and didn't get a stone because it was caught in a different game.
