Only in 2020 onwards did people start taking drugs because since the great pandemic of 2020 because people are getting more and more depressed and feel like life has no meaning. That’s also why more people are killing themselves. Now Alpharad has joined them.

  • I barely beat crasher wake with only a staravia at 10 HP. This is a good life lesson: if Alpharad beat the elite four with a solo piplup, I’m sure I could beat the elite four as well at this point. So In other words, never give up. This right here is a beautiful life lesson. Congratulations, @Alpharad. You’ve earned that sweet victory. Edit: also it was the toughest thing I ever seen when you beat Cynthia with just a small penguin. If you beat BDSP with only piplup, what’s next? Scarlet and violet with a solo Quaxly perhaps?

  • 9:00 I have been playing through Pokemon Ultra Sun recently, and I have created the ultimate critical hit Drapion. Similar to Aaron's own, he has Cross Poison and Night Slash, which, when sided alongside the items Scope Lens (which Aaron has) or Razor Claw, has a 50% critical chance (Also they both have STAB). My Drapion also has maxed attack and speed EV's, and also Swords Dance to increase physical attack even more (last move is Ice Fang for annoying type matchups). Working on levelling him up to 100 in order to hyper-train the beast. Also he is shiny. P.S. Also, apparently with a max affection, it doubles crit chance. I will test that out once my own Drapion is level 100. If it is true, then he will have a 100% crit ratio. Will keep this comment updated.

  • The “affection” mechanic and its side effects have been around since XY, but since nobody cared about PokeMonAmie and it’s equivalents, it seems new since BDSP tied it in with the normal friendship mechanics, which is has been around since very early in the series. Friendship usually only affects Return’s damage and the evolution of certain Pokemon, and is raised by just having the pokemon in your party or, when the option is available, walking with them. Affection was usually only raised by PokeMonAmie.
