Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 2081-85 (Christmas Week - Dec. 19-23, 2011)
Loki:
But Taunt may force to use Entei Struggle earlier than usual, thereby killing it, no?
EspyPsyche:
It would. What you need to do is use both Gothitelle and Gallade.
Lead with Gothitelle and Taunt Entei.
While Entei is taunted, swap to Gallade. It can't use Roar because of Taunt, and can't flee because it thinks Shadow Tag is up, so it will use an attack (Fire Blast?).
Immediately Mean Look. Taunt will still be up, so Entei cannot Roar, and it won't be able to flee from Mean Look.
Hypnosis it. Now it's asleep, taunted, and locked in.
Refresh Taunt with Gallade as it falls and re-sleep as necessary, using False Swipe when not refreshing statuses.
(Taunt is required because Entei gets an attack when it wakes up, and if not taunted that will be a Roar)
TinPenguin:
Not that I ever had much respect for Pokemon to begin with, but it lost what smattering of dignity it had when they started introducing monsters like "Gothitelle".
Also, there's a forum for discussing this stuff.
Also also, regarding today's comic, I'll add my voice to the chorus of d'awwwwwwws (d'aww-rus?).
Schmorgluck:
The whole stuff sounds like a TED Talk. It's alike, in style, to Steven Pinker's Talk on The Myth of Violence. In which, interestingly, he cites works of fiction as a possible cause for the trend for violence to go down, when it allows us to walk in the shoes of people different from ourselves.
It's one of my favorite TED Talks ever, I encourage you to give it a shot.

Actually, one of the fascinating things about discussing the comic here is the way that it leads to such varied discussions at the end of the week (or even before).
