Cancel culture is not a real thing so bulbasaur

[–] [email protected] 96 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I have cancelled you. It's unfortunate it had to come to this...

This guy doesn't even know how problematic Bulbasaur is.

Fire the cancel cannon!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is that like the bass cannon but not as cool

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Very problematic I suggest you do some research.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

A hater tried to cancel you because Bulbasaur is "problematic," but I'll uncancel you because Bulbasaur is very cute and should be cherished

in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans

Don't say Vaporeon. Don't say Vaporeon!

"Vaporeon."

DOH!

"Unfortuante" doesn't begin to describe my series, this game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with my opponent changing times on me last minute and refusing to provide confirmation prior to the day of the match as to play times, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don't see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.

I am done with competitive Pokemon, and you won't get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but stops short of killing its host. Tournaments used to have a competitive spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by the sidelines and tear each other to shreds over scraps of attention. The environment we fostered has trapped us all like this in a vicious cycle, and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away, that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance. I would make this the end, but World Cup is still ongoing, and I would never leave so many great friends out to dry, so I'll suffer through a few more games for them.

One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain, ridicule, and self-righteous fervor, before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts, box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory, and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, nothing you say matters to me. The foulest insults you hurl with intent to wound will calmly settle at the earth before my feet, and the venom you spit will bring all the pain of a warm summer breeze. You are less than anything you can conceive, while I carry on, brimming with joy distilled from detachment.

Much more... versatile, than Vaporeon

You shouldn't be giving a single, solitary crap about what "cancel culture" wants.

Gogoat, you son of a bitch.

Yeah, I'm not afraid to die on this hill. Grass kicks ass!

Alakazam. Though Gyrados is also cool

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Get cancelled

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I did a playthrough of crystal last year and was playing it on breaks at work, my team for most of the run included three Alakazams just because I knew it would annoy one of my coworkers.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

honestly, emolga

i just think they're cute

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Cancel culture is colective censorship... which apparently is sometimes needed

I don't know its name but there's a Pokémon which looks like a weasel. It's the cutest thing ever.
EDIT: it's a Furret!

Snorlax is my spirit Pokemon

Electabuzz has been my favorite since the beginning, and shall continue to be for the rest of my days (because I am now old and can't keep up with them all anymore).

It’s Garbodor and I’m tired of hiding it!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Either Reshiram or Yveltal.

Flareon, Zacian, Miraidon, and the new Ogerpon are high on my list
