  • The thread is in the battle corner. I can't copy and paste it since I'm on my DS browser, but it's on the first page. Just make a post there saying you want to be in the tournament and enter you FC and IGN. It's not a physical location. It's over Wi-Fi :)
    Nah, I mostly just battle with my friends and do simulations on Pokemon Showdown. I've actually entered a Sky Battle tournament here on PC though, and it'll be my first tournament :)
    Yea, I've been in a lot of blizzards. They're relatively common where I live. There was a really bad one when I was 10, and a bunch of us had to spend the night in school. At that age I would have preferred being out in the blizzard over having to be in school at night :P

    The newest Mystery Dungeon game, Gates to Infinity, has Gen 5 Pokemon. It just came out last year, I believe. Pretty good game, but not as good as the previous ones in my opinion since your choice of playable Pokemon is really limited.

    And YES, I love competitive battling. I'd be totally willing to do battle with you some time! I've got you registered but I can't remember your in game name...
    I knowww I love Axew too :) He's another one of my favorites. That's actually what Pokemon I am on Mystery Dungeon. And yea, I watch youtube. My favorites are Marriland and TheKingNappy. Marriland is really fun to watch for playthroughs, and I watch KingNappy for his competitive battles. KingNappy also has a really cool top 5 series which is really entertaining because he doesn't go by battle prowess or stats or anything. He's just like "____ is number 1 because zomg he's so awesome just look at him omg omg!"

    And I'm fine, it's not a fine day over here though. There was a blizzard and the whole city pretty much got shut down. At least there was supposed to be a blizzard, but I've seen worse xD
    Well something I noticed is I looked at your signature and instantly cracked up because I am apparently a sucker for humor.
    Nice! Yea Gen 4 was good. I didn't play D/P/Pt, but I played HeartGold, and it was awesome. Especially since I played Crystal when I was a kid, so seeing the old story and the Johto region remade was pretty great. Infernape's good, I actually use mine a lot in the Battle Maison :)

    Believe it or not, I actually just started watching the Black and White anime today haha. It just showed up on Netflix and I have to say, I'm really enjoying it so far.
    My favorite Pokemon is my beloved Mawile <3 My favorite Pokemon game is Black/White 2 :) How about you?
    Super training is the easiest way, unfortunately. There's different levels of super training. Level 2 gives you 8 EV's per session, and level 3 gives you 12 EV's per session. You unlock level 2 by finishing each super training regimen in level 1. Also, if you finish with a good time you can unlock punching bags. The Large punching bags are the best ones, they give 12 EV's.

    Count yourself lucky though xD Before super training you had to battle Pokemon to get EV's, and most Pokemon only yield one or two EV's at a time.
    Ohh you should do it! In my opinion B/W 2 are the best main series Pokemon games by far. It'll be totally worth it :) And yea Battle Maison is tough. You've got to EV train and pick just the right Pokemon. If you win 30 in a row (or I think it might be 20, I can't remember) you get to unlock Super Single Battles, and they pay out more than the regular battles.
    Yup, it's me, hi! Yea, I haven't been playing Pokemon Y much lately. I've been preoccupied with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon xD Such a fun game. How've you been?
    I think it's spelled "Presbyterian", I think. Yes, I'm Catholic. I'm glad I see another Christian on this site.
    "I watched it in a video-hundred reasons why evolution is stupid. It is a sermon. "
    Just because one person said 100 reasons why evolution is stupid doesn't mean that those 100 reasons are valid. Does the person cite any of his sources? Does the person dispute with well acknowledged facts that are cross checked across multiple volumes? Simply saying "someone said it and it's true" is a logical fallacy known as "Appeal to Authority". If the same man gave 100 reasons to why jumping off a cliff can extend your life by 200 years, would you also believe him?

    "Say the good mutation was passed down to the children. What are the chances of that good mutation being good? What are the chances it has an effect on the child? It could never spread to a whole race."
    Most mutations are neutral. It may be good in the future. It may not be. It may not do anything of note.

    A positive mutation that gives a specimen a clear advantage can help spread across a race by out-competing others,

    Before you say it though, single mutations aren't usually what makes an organism successful - rather many mutations working together can cause profound changes, and this is why interbreeding wouldn't be required for passing mutations around, because the individuals with all the required mutations would be the most successful and that pool would be a varied group of individuals after a set period of time.
    Essentially it's your lack of supporting your views with logic, even within the context of Biblical or conventional morality that has confined you within a lose-lose scenario. As homosexuality is a constant, the number of homosexuals is not affected by instituting a ban on gay marriages. Thus, you are ignoring this fact and the other societal issues and cannot, given your position and reasoning, overcome the argument. And thus, have admitted falsehood via omission, unless you care to demonstrate why the line of reasoning put forth by myself is somehow flawed.

    If you, however, would like to defend the position, you may do so via VM, thus not offending anyone in the thread, if that is truly the reason.
    Again, you're asking questions without actually backing them but I enjoy answering them so whatever.

    How come good mutations have never been found? In a textbook teaching evolution and how it is the result if good mutations fails to give an example of one.
    The mutation I listed in the previous post is an excellent example of a "good mutation". I think preventing AIDS is a pretty good thing. Also, using "good" or "bad" is a little subjective since some mutations like Sickle Cell Anemia have benefits, such as having half of the mutation causes an immunity to Malaria.

    Here is a (fairly hodge-podge) list of just a few well known positive mutations in humans.

    It gives an example of a bad one. The test of trying to make flies develope good mutations failed. They only produced bad mutations. Some ended up with no wings, too many wings, and stuff.
    What test? What the heck are you even talking about. If you're referencing high school experiments, they are high school experiments and aren't intended as a complete general analysis of evolution as a whole, and is only shown to illustrate that in a controlled environment, creatures can obtain several unusual traits. It also illustrates how stem cells can be modified, in the case of appendages growing in unusual areas.

    If you want an example of "good mutations being used for human benefit", look no further than dogs. Dogs have been modified for centuries, selected for certain traits, such as size, hunting ability, and ability to track scents.

    How is evolution survival of the fittest? If a whale eats a bunch of plankton, it is survival of the luckiest.
    Yep, and a lot of evolution is based around luck. But plankton could also survive by being more difficult to detect as a whole, or living in areas that whales cannot exist.

    There are many other examples of this. How come sheep haven't become resistant to a predators sharp teeth? Sheep aren't fit at all. If evolution is true, explain the sheep. The need someone to watch over them and protect them.
    Sheep are fit as they would have never survived if they weren't. First off, sheep are domesticated animals that were modified over generations similar to how dogs were, to gather certain traits. Most scientists believe that domesticated sheep were descended from a creature called the Mouflon. These creatures are fast, have big horns, and can climb steep cliffs. These are all advantages that protect them from predators. They also can herd together which leaves safety in numbers.

    Sheep need humans to watch and protect them because humans want to ensure that the most sheep survive to help maximize profit from rearing them, both for the wool and for any meat as well. Sheep have been bred to maximize wool, not with the idea of having them roam wild, although even then they do have some defenses - herding for example, and horns found in the males. Wild sheep need no shepherd.
