this is actually somewhat impressive

It would be a simultaneous game with incomplete information because you don't know your opponent's "preferences", which translated to pokemon terms means your opponent's movesets. The term perfect information means that a player can observe the other player's actions before making their own...

I'm interested in seeing this topic pop up because I learned about game theory in my political science class. Most of what I will say will be directed to McGraw since he's probably the only one who will understand some of the terminology I'm gonna use. As McGraw probably knows, the point of...

Although that is definitely true, I would still rather have the 31 IVs to squeeze out the last bit of HP. It's pretty much impossible to make 11 attacks without ever getting hit/taking damage.

Agreeing with this post. Is it really that hard to use a goddamn mouse. I dont really care whether or not the cancel button is removed, since the arguments about "being able to predict better" is bullshit anyway since prediction is just luck when you get down to it anyway. FFS though, some...

so what makes this arcanine better than something like weezing, who is not only immune to eq, neutral to stone edge, and gets wow. youre overestimating intimidate on a pokemon that is weak to two VERY powerful physical moves. an arcanine switching in on an EQ is a dead arcanine. a weezing...

i love how people think anything with intimidate can automatically be bulky. at least gyarados is immune to EQ. this is weak to both stone edge and EQ. awesome. i dont see how this set is going to work without willowisp being mandatory.
