The changes aren't actually that small when you research them.

And the same cannot be said for CoD and yearly sports titles. Those are skill based games and need more recognisable changes to their multiplayer to keep them fresh, and adding in a few new perks or updating a player roster (which is mainly to keep up with real life, and doesn't even effect gameplay that much, if at all) don't suffice.

Pokemon's multiplayer is completely strategy based, and doesn't require a smidgen of skill, so changing various variables, adding new Pokemon with new moves, stats, and effects, and adding subtle changes like the concept of "sting damage" actually mean a great deal. It's all about pre-battle research and thinking. Battles are not the work, they are just where you show off your work. Changes like these are pretty inconsequential in CoD and sports games because those are primarily skill based (they have an element of strategy but it's very minor).

Actually those games require strategy as well, since you can't simply jump into a game with a basic idea and expect to come out as the winner. Sports games are a bit less of an example so I'll focus on CoD.

It does a similar thing as what you say Pokemon does, as it's constantly adding and taking away guns, adding or removing attachments, and making changes as to the kind of class you can have. From there you have to think about the kind of class you're making and find the most suitable one for you, kind of like how you would find a suitable party in Pokemon.

Skill does play a role in the game, but it also does in Pokemon. You could have the best party in the world and it would mean nothing if you don't know how to use it in whichever situation. Same applies to CoD. To me, it wouldn't be simply showing off your party in Pokemon, more than it is showing what you can do with a party like that.

But that's just my opinion. To me, CoD and Pokemon are rather alike (I DON'T MEAN IN TERMS OF GAMEPLAY OR STORY). The same argument I use of "it's the same thing every time" to CoD is also an argument I can throw at Pokemon. This isn't saying that Pokemon or CoD are bad games.

pokemoN X AND y THE chromosomes

why, everything about that day made sense other than you saying yes. i just need to know why, why did you say yes?

I... I don't think I like pie. I apologize.

I just realized I haven't seen you all week... Made the week a bit better for me, actually. I can't help but wonder how long it'll be until I probably see you again, though. Hopefully that'll be never.

That strategy element in CoD is something I'm aware of, but it's minor. You can win a game of CoD without strategy (I have won a few, and I never memorise a thing about those games). It is very much a pick up and play game. Strategising is possible, but it has a minor influence on whether or not you win. And selecting your weapons and perks in CoD is less like picking a party in Pokemon and more like picking your personal favourite character in a fighting game. It's a personal preference rather than a search for an ultimatum, which is what forming a party in Pokemon is all about - making a party that has as little room for error as possible. Concepts like that are a staple of strategy games, but CoD doesn't have it. It's strategy is minor, and really amounts to knowing the map layouts, personal patterns that players use in battle, and maybe roles in team matches (though you'll rarely see this as players will just do what they feel is best most of the time). I'm not saying CoD is a mindless game that requires no thought and intelligence to play. But the thinking involved in CoD is less strategy, and more initiative. CoD really isn't comparable to Pokemon in terms of strategy. You'll never find an ultimate setup in a CoD game, but multiplayer in Pokemon is all about finding that ultimate, flawless team and flawless set of items, and move sets, etc.

And using your moves correctly in Pokemon is no game of skill. Skill is a term that is only applied to reacting in time to things and honing your general ability to perform in the heat of the moment. Sure, if you're inexperienced, you might take some initiative, but that means you're playing Pokemon wrong. All of the best Pokemon players know what they are going to do BEFORE the battle starts, and demonstrate the fact that they studied up through the flashy battle. They usually even know the math involved in the games battle system, and make sure to see what variables change from game to game.

Basically, Pokemon (and a lot of RPGs and every strategy game too) is like studying for an academic exam, while CoD is like practicing to get better at a sport.

That was pretty low of you.
You could've at least said something and not play me for a fool. What are you running from, I wonder? It didn't seem you really valued me much anyways.

There is a reason to why i act. Think about it. (Not mai immaturity, an IRL thingymajig)

I miss you <3 We haven't even kissed yet D:

Look, I didn't know anyone there... But I wasn't kicked. But one of my friends gets kicked out because you don't freaking know him? Come on now. May aswell delete me too then, because there's no reason to treat me better than him. I enjoyed my time there, but I suppose the fun is over. I made tons of friends there too.. But now they're nothing!

Seems like all we had,
Is over now.
You left,
To rest.
</3


I'll never forget you..

The Wii U internet is so awesome. ;n;

questions questions questions

SULLY YOU BEAUTIFUL SON OF A-

i feel so hopeless, i have no chance with you. you are so perfect and im so flawed. yet you said yes, and i dont know why you did

I'd give anything to be with you.. You're just like me.. don'tcha see? Looks aren't everything.. y'know... Please don't think that. I love you so much, I couldn't stand it if you hated me.. You'll always be in my heart.. whether you hate me or not...

I don't know Which Way I Need to Go!...
Do all these roads lead me back to you!..
<3

You have a right to have an opinion and i have a right to tell you how stupid it is

You are one of my close friends and all, but it seems we've been growing distant lately. I'm actually realizing how inconsiderate you are, not just to me, but everyone.

There is no need to be rude to everyone who asks a simple question politely. There is no need to yell at me for something someone else asked me to do. There is no need for you to ALWAYS be with the only other person I like in the classes (especially since there's other friends of yours in all our classes), and me being alone and no one giving a single ****. I'm almost always alone, thanks to you. There is no need to disinclude me, disreguard how I feel, or make sure you always get the last good place to sit, even shoving me to get to it before me. There is no need to be so downright damn RUDE to me, especially when I ask a simple question. Do you ever stop to think of anyone but yourself? You act like it's a joke. But it sure ain't a funny one anymore.

Your behavior has actually bothered me quite a bit, enough to actually make me angry. I even spoke to a friend in a sharp tone because I thought they were you while they were behind me. I felt awful afterwards, though they didn't care.

i probably sound pretty selfish and/or whiny, but this IS a topic for thoughts so

Pangolins are awesome.

I wish I never said that.

I'm out of my mind but that's fine by me.

Seriously. What did I ever do to you!? Sure, I'm not normal, I'm weird. I admit that, but really. Just because I like a cartoon character doesn't make me mentally challenged.. And even if I was, that's a horrible insult.
Then you get even more angry because "He Isn't even hot."!? FYI, looks aren't everything. And I find him cute. Problem with my opinion? Yeah. Don't think I'll forget your words.. I forgive you, but they will always linger..

And then others take it even farther.. Telling me I will become a lonely cat lady.. I mean guys.. I thought we were friends.. There's a reason I don't want to ever get into a relationship with guys.. Plenty of them. So don't go judging someone before you even really know them.
"What about Gohan, huh? Your little rice monster?"
Don't call him a rice monster, that's not what I call him.. And I don't appreciate it either. Yeah, he's the only real thing I find attractive, but I'm not all "SECKS WITH MY GOHAN POSTER DIFNDJNFBF" am I? I've never done anythin' even close to that. >.>; I really hate it when Youguys think I do that or look up DBZ porn.. Or any kind of porn for that matter. Plus, you search up porn yourself, so don't accuse me of something I had nothing to do with!

Listening to Blown Away brings back so many memories.

i was feeling bad today, but someone brightend my mode. thank you

Dude i am laughing so much... i promise i wont die though!! but seriosuly you are HILARIOUS

thanks to a user here, they have given me new confidence in my humor, come monday i will try it on those in know in irl. thankyou for your help!

What did we do wrong? Are we not cool enough? Do we have the wrong people?

I just miss the old days when things were better, and something that happens now once in a blue moon would happen daily.

Please can someone answer my question, please. It's driving me crazy, if I wasn't laughing I would have heard the answer.

But no I wasn't referring to that.

I know, I simply couldn't pass up a good oppurtunity.

-------------------------------

I'm just worried about you. The way you've been talking to me lately makes me feel like I have gotten you overly attached to me, or something like that. And I won't deny that I'm probably more attached. But what I mean is, considering how I'm supposed to be just a friend, all of these obligations you feel you have are just unecessary, and the guilt you often express towards me is just undeserved. Would be expected if it was from me. But you shouldn't have to feel like that. You should be able to happily go out with friends or do other nice things that are better and more important than me, without having to feel upset or guilty. I just hate knowing you're upset, and if I can even attempt to prevent it, I will, which is what I was trying to do yesterday. I know that maybe the particular cases of you getting upset weren't big recently. But not too long ago, you eluded that something tragic my happen to you if "something happened" to me. And that really scares me. That's partly why I've been asking you to desensitise yourself to me. I now realise I could never do that, unless maybe I put on an act to make you hate me and not want to have anything to do with me. But even that may not work and I'm just not prepared for that.

When I look at your beautiful face, I just know I can hardly bear to see it in a state of sadness. And I certainly don't want to cause that.

I know we talked about it already, and I'm not going to bug you about it. I'm just letting my worried loose. I want the best for you, even if it means I can't talk to you all that much.
