I've been getting back into Pokemon but oh my lord this game is absolute bull♥♥♥♥ sometimes.
So I had a banded Dragonite and a scarfed Chandelure, both healthy except for some rocks damage. All my opponent had left was a scarfed Genesect. He locks himself into Thunderbolt on my Dnite, doing about a third, but hes scores the paralysis (10% chance) but it's no big since I'm about to destroy him with the banded Fire Punch (Genesect is 4x weak to fire). Of course I get fully paralyzed (25%) but I know I can live another hit and still kill him. But of course, he takes this chance to crit me (10%). It's alright as my Chandelure can take a hit and roast him with a Fire Blast but then I miss (15%). A 0.0375% chance of all this happening, but it did. The matches preceding and following this game were the same (though not quite as bad). I would be winning by a large margin with an answer for everything and back up plans if my primary measures failed, but still compound misfortune destroyed me...

Re: The Lounge
Not sure. X and Y have really few new pokemon, so they had to use a lot of old ones too. That said, it has NEVER been a better time to hop in. X and Y are phenominal.
Yeah you guys come hop on Pokemon Showdown. I mean I like playing the actual games but making a real competitive team is sooo much work.
edit: I'm on right now as thousandcuts. type /challenge thousandcuts in the chat to fight me
edit2: ok so i just played someone who i didnt know was entirely new to the game. just a heads up guys im 2200 points. thats not the greatest but im no noob lol.

Dark Souls 2 network test delayed.
What to do with this thing called life now.
EDIT: Holy, so many cranky people over a 3 hour beta test.
