    What even is a neckbeard?

    basically the kind of beard you get when you just don't shave at all but it's not long enough to be like a biker person/lumberjack beard

    you just have a lot of scruffy gross-looking hair under your chin/on your neck and it's really not a style of beard so much as a failure to groom yourself

    I bought a fedora in this game because the player character actually is mildly capable of wearing one

    one thing i do like about talonflame

    it is absolutely appropriate that a fire/flying pokemon be the one to shake the foundations of Stealth Rock

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    T-t-t-there's nothing wrong with collecting swords.

    (All the ones I have owned were actually for hitting people...)

    Actually, that said, someone should make a honedge sword you can buy.

    Wait why is Talonflame a stealth rock counter

    defog makes stealth rock go away

    talonflame's dream world ability makes all flying moves have priority (like quick attack)

    defog is flying type

    and so is acrobatics/Brave Bird, which makes talonflame enough of a terror that you can force a switch with it at the right time and safely use defog

    but even failing that you can just suicide-bomb them with defog to clear away stealth rock for your other guys

    you wouldn't think that'd be worth it

    but people have been using suicide leads since gen IV to set up stealth rock, so

    Talonflame, Talonflame
    What were they thinking with that name
    He'll use defog
    to clear your work
    Then hits with Brave Bird
    to be a jerk

    Watch out
    Here comes the Talonflame

    i think two gimmick teams i'm gonna try to make are 6 rattata clones and six pidgey clones

    Pidgeot, Noctowl, Swellow, Staraptor, Unfezant, and Talonflame

    and Raticate, Furret, Linoone, Bibarel, Watchog, and

    oh wait shit I forgot the rattata clone in gen 6 is fucking Diggersby

    never fucking mind

    the bird team sounds like a fun idea though

    pidgeot and unfezant aren't amazing but the only real total dud on that lineup is noctowl

    What is the deal with this fedora meme? I had never once encountered anybody with an opinion about fedoras until Pokemon came out.

    Eh? Really?

    Basically, there are some guys out there that think they can wear fedoras with like, t-shirt and a jeans, and it looks terrible.

    These people are also often huge nerds and have neckbeards.

    These people also subscribe to "Men's Rights" nonsense and will possibly refer to women as "Mi'Lady"

    Basically the fedora has been forever ruined. It belongs to a past era of fashion. It should be left there.

    It absolutely hasn't been "forever ruined"

    Look, if you wear a fedora with a vest, dress shirt, tie and pants or something similar

    Its fine

    But the problem is that I have MORE THAN ONCE seen a dude wearing a Fedora with a My little pony t-shirt and shorts and that is unacceptable

    It bears mentioning that Talonflame already has buttloads of speed and barely any attack or defense, so it's not quiiiite as crazy as it sounds, but it does get around all of the things that would normally be the go-to counters for fast, frail attackers.

    I'm pretty sure that I often forget the difference between Castform and Shuppet.

    Ehhhhhhhh.

    The fedora is a hat that goes with a certain outfit. Just like you wouldn't wear a baseball cap with a tuxedo, you should wear a fedora with a certain type of suit.

    The thing is that certain type of suit belongs to a past era of fashion. So sure, you can wear an outfit a fedora looks good with, but at that point it looks more like you are wearing a period costume than you are dressing up for going out.

    So, it either looks bad or like a costume. People should let it go.

    dude it's men's fashion, aside from fads like zoot suits and leisure suits it hasn't changed in a century

    you could literally pull a good suit from 1930's saville row and wear it today, and vice-versa
