AOTW Rapid-Fire!! Inner Focus, Soundproof, Sturdy

Wil Brendel April 11, 2013

We apologize for the unexpected interruption in transmission, and now return you to your regularly scheduled poképrogramming. Crunch time on creative endeavors has been keeping me on my toes, trainers. Not even this amusing authority of all things Ability is immune to the constraints of the 24-hour day. However, immunities do come standard issue on… Continue Reading »

AOTW: Unaware

Wil Brendel March 14, 2013

Never say “die”, trainers. So what if you’re staring down a Scyther with three Swords Dances stacked up? Or maybe a Bastiodon with three Iron Defenses activated? Your editor of all things Ability suggests apathy as your strategy! Just mutter a hearty “hakuna matata” to yourself and run in headlong! Of course, I only recommend… Continue Reading »

AOTW Rapid-Fire!! Run Away, Magnet Pull, and Shadow Tag

Wil Brendel March 7, 2013

The necessary evil of any RPG, not just Pokémon, is level grinding. Battling against random encounters to gain XP has been a staple of every role-player since the dawn of the genre. And by Arceus does it get OLD FAST. Conventional knowledge is to just choose “Run” once you’ve level grinded to the point of… Continue Reading »

AOTW: Weak Armor

Wil Brendel February 14, 2013

This week’s Ability is… interesting, Abiliteers. I thought that I had already plumbed the depths of the most potent of pokémon passive powers, but there seems to be at least one more diamond in the rough waiting for us to discuss. This particular Ability could be a bit risky to work with, but could potentially… Continue Reading »

AOTW Rapid-Fire!! Leaf Guard, Flower Gift, and Forecast

Wil Brendel January 31, 2013

In the past, folks, we’ve talked a lot about the benefits of rain. And not without good reason! There are a lot of Abilities that are triggered by rain, and Water Pokémon are the most abundant of all the various types as of this writing making the precipitous weather condition especially useful. Today, though, we’re… Continue Reading »

AOTW: Limber and Water Veil

Wil Brendel January 24, 2013

It’s that time of the week again, Abiliteers! Sit your butts back down and settle in for your weekly Passive Perks 101. The tall grass is rife with dangers; we’ve known that since our first attempt to journey into the wilds of Route 1 was thwarted by Professor Oak. Many of the Pokémon found in… Continue Reading »

AOTW: Download

Wil Brendel January 17, 2013

Abiliteers, we’re nerds. You know it. I know it. Maybe you identify with the Super Nerd trainer class, and maybe you don’t, but just by virtue of the fact that you’re on this site, reading this article right now, I’m going to make a judgment call that if nothing else, you spend way too much… Continue Reading »

AOTW Rapid-Fire!! Truant, Overcoat, and Vital Spirit

Wil Brendel December 20, 2012

The weather outside is frightful, trainers. Come inside, have some cocoa, and finish your holiday shopping online. And then you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy your Christmas vacation! Of course, now that I’m technically an “adult”, Christmas vacation is but a fond memory, as well as possibly the best holiday flick this side of… Continue Reading »
