Day 14 - [Video] | [Action] Goldenrod Gym

Yet another badge down!

[Atsuro grin, showing off the Plain Badge to the network.]

I won't bother asking if anyone deal with Whitney's tears...Even if I feel a bit bad for using my stronger Pokemon, since they're rather overleveled and it end up being a curbstomp battle.

[Yeah. He looks a bit thoughtful for a moment.]

While I'm still on, have anyone wonder about the types' advantages and disadvantages? Some of them make sense, like fire burning grass. But there's others that really make you think... Like Psychic over Poison. Would that mean mind over poisonous matter?

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, if you don't mind.

(OOC: Badge is mod-approved! ♥)

No kiddin'. Like fightin' types bein' weak to Flying types. Ain't that the weirdest junk?

And I got no idea about Psychic types bein' strong against Poison. I mean, if ya poisoned a guy wouldn't that make it real hard to think?

I guess trying to hit a flying bird would be rather hard in that case, right?

[They can fly out of your reach!] If you're psychic, wouldn't you know they're going to poison you because of mind reading?

Oh, yeah. I mean, I ain't never tried to punch a bird before or nothin', but I guess that makes sense.

Hey, that's a good point, dude. But a psychic can't read everybody's mind at once, can they? I mean, how would they know who was gonna poison 'em?

Um...by seeing the future or use clairvoyance? They sometime do get hit, but they're forewarned about it enough to avoid most of the damage?

_{[Mac doesn't know what claivoyance means, man. He doesn't get these big fancy words. But he's going to agree anyway.]}

Oh, uh, yeah, I guess that makes sense.

A lot o' these type differences are still weird, though. I mean, they makes sense but you gotta really think about it to get it, y' know?

Only after you really think about them.

[Like...ice against dragon.] It's all interesting to think about, isn't it?

I guess so, but it sure makes all this learnin' about types stuff harder than it's gotta be.

It'll get easier in the long run, if you don't think too much about why they're strong or weak against another.

...Huh. Yeah, I guess that makes sense! Like, don't overthink it, right?

Yep. I only think about it because I want to know.
