Q: Which pokemon are suggested to be taken to gym battles?

When you start to fight a pokemon gym, the game suggests you (1 / 6) pokemon based on (Same Team / Enemy Team) respectively. I observed that there are some criteria it looks for: High cp pokemon have a higher chance to show up High remaining hp pokemon have a higher chance to show up, it may ...

Kevin van der Velden

12:10 PM

A while back they (Fox News) were staunchly anti-Trump. That was during the Trump/Kelly feud

I actually had some quasi-respect for them for backing up their own employee like that

KutuluMike

turns out that was just cus Ailes couldn't flirt with trump

two bugs

Hah, that wouldn't surprise me

Fox News is just kind of fascinating to me. They rarely have principles, but they sometimes do something Right which is bizarre

Like back during the Eliot Roger stuff... iirc Fox was the only channel that refused to air his insane manifesto in any part

You know, the manifesto where he quoted Orc Hitler from World of Warcraft (No, really.)

Kevin van der Velden

Is... is that an actual thing?

It was a strange direction to take his character because he wasn't a bad guy at all before

@Nzall He was always an ass, but that was a war and was mainly attacking enemies in convential warfare at that point

Consider that later he fantasy-nuked a town that was fairly neutral

Kevin van der Velden

Fantasy nukes, the most environmentally friendly of nukes

two bugs

I just liked his character in Cataclysm because he had to make Tough Choices and whatnot. Then he became Hitler because you know

Nzall

@twobugs The dumb thing is that not even a year earlier, he dropped one of his generals off a cliff for doing the exact same thing to a Night Elf city

I personally think he's just a victim to the storyline Blizzard wanted to go with

Blizzard wanted a way to bring the Legion back, and I really think that Pandaria and Draenor were just collateral in that

don't get me wrong, Pandaria had a really good anti-war storyline

but the entire expansion feels forced and unnecessary, and just a way to get Garrosh to Draenor so he can start another invasion

which we then stop, which in turn leads to another Legion invasion

two bugs

@Nzall They basically admitted that Warlords was a filler expansion

Nzall

12:32 PM

@twobugs it was filler paid for in full, which is what put so many people off

two bugs

Mists it felt like they initially had a different plan but kind of diverted it to fit the overall narrative

@Nzall I think the worst part is how little post-launch support it got. 6.1 was not a major content patch, and 6.2 did not have enough content for 14 months

Nzall

@twobugs If your biggest innovations in a patch are social media integration, free gold for everyone and a friggin' selfie cam, then what the hell are you doing with the rest of the money?

And then soon, they're adding Facebook integration, which means you can... livestream your game via Facebook Live

two bugs

Well they mentioned that the twitter and selfie stuff were basically side projects of devs that got rolled into the main game. But 6.1 was a clear example of their broken dev cycle

@twobugs They hired extra developers hoping they could get the same content faster. However, they found that what actually ended up happening was that they got more content at the same rate

two bugs

Well it's clear they had shifted a significant portion of their dev team to Legion by that point. It's just also abundantly clear their plan of 'faster expansions' is a pipe dream and doesn't work

@Unionhawk Ctrl+z is terminal speak for putting the current program in the background since before it was undo

Ctrl+Z is from Windows isn't it?
