I’m thinking about how amazing the duo of Ion Deluge Motor Drive Zebstrika and Punk Rock STAB Boomburst Toxtricity would be, if Ion Deluge and Zebstrika were in Gen 8 in the first place. The sad thing is, Nat Dex Doubles doesn’t seem to be a format anywhere — nobody on Showdown! wants to talk about it. I go to the VGC room, nobody responds. I go to Nat Dex, they tell me to go to Doubles, I get the grand idea to go to Other Metagames instead. I go to Other Metagames, they at least seem interested in the idea but tell me it’s not for the OM room. I ask them where to go instead, they tell me there’s really nowhere to go for it unless I want to try something like a Nat Dex STAAAB Doubles format in Other Metagame Mashups. It’s honestly quite frustrating. The best I can do is wait for the Sinnoh remakes to come out and hope for the best — if they’ve only got Sinnoh Pokémon, though, then it looks like I’ve got to wait until Gen 9 to try my strategy out. That is, unless GAMEFREAK decides to release a patch to Sword and Shield to add back all the missing Pokémon and moves, the former of which is believable but the latter of which isn’t.
In short, for all those who are non-Pokémon fans, I have this really cool strategy that only works using two specific characters (one with a move that will make the other one drastically better) but in the newest two games one of those characters (the one with the good move) doesn’t exist, and in the ones where it does, the other one doesn’t exist. So I have to wait until November (when the remakes of the games one generation before the first of the two characters came out) for even a sliver of a chance that both characters will be included. If not, the ones after them releasing in early 2022 are practically confirmed not to, so that means I have to wait until around 2024 to put my strategy into use. Also, nobody wants to talk about it with me, so I’m stuck with having to wait four years to even discuss it.
I'm doing Art in the car and listening to a podcast and having a pretty good time. Can't stop wondering how feet work, they're cut off in my reference picture but I need them
I’m thinking about what my dog would be named if he was human. I think Ferocity Black would be a cool enough name, but his kennel name was Roger, so I feel like Roger Blightbones would be awesome too.
