TORADORA IS OVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER T___________T

The final episode of the anime has aired in Japan early morning of yesterday, heck you could be sure I haven't missed this. And this episode was a perfect closure for this EXCELLENT anime.

I enjoyed Toradora through and through, and it makes me a bit sad it's now over. I'm not a fan of anime ( Read more... )

pokemon, pokémon, toradora!

I hate sleep and evasion clause :\ I'm glad official tournaments don't have such rules.

Me too, especially Evasion Clause. Evasion moves are gay as hell, and one of the main reasons (along with OHKO moves, which are just as gay) Battle Frontier can get very annoying.

I haven't mentioned Freeze Clause, because it can't be enforced on DS Wi-Fi. :p

No, I meant I hate using the clauses as rules, because I don't think evasion is very cheap or anything. You can get around spamming evasion moves and sleep moves, it's just that people don't want to incorporate that into their strategies. I think the annoyance of stupid stuff in battle frontier really helped people hate evasive moves though ( ... )

My oh my. First and foremost, when I said "gay", it was as an expression. I REALLY didn't meant to offend neither you or anyone else. I'm sincerely sorry if you were, Marcus. T____T

Seriously, if there were better ways to battle evasion than weak Aerial Ace, Swift and Shockwave, I wouldn't be against it. But as it is, using evasion make battles stall wars and too much luck reliant, which IMO is detrimental to the fun of the game.

And big tournaments can inforce those rules. See for example the G4 tournament, which is the closest thing for an official competitive tournament in France we have :

SONT INTERDITS D'UTILISATION AU SEIN DE LA COUPE G4.5
TOUTE UTILISATION DES PRÉSENTS POKéMON EST PASSIBLE DE DISQUALIFICATION IMMÉDIATE.

(ARE FORBIDDEN TO USE INSIDE THE G4.5 CUP
ANY USE OF THESE FOLLOWING POKEMON IS LIABLE TO DISQUALIFICATION
