[Magnet Bomb Misadventures in] Pokemon Rumble
Completely irrelevant but I just finished playing the best game of Pokemon Rumble of my life. It was me and two anonymous associates playing, and it was normal at first, at least until I found a Probopass, which knew Magnet Bomb.
Now Magnet bomb fires three projectiles which home in on enemies, explode, and produce a lot of particles, so the game was lagging quite a bit. We were joking about the three of us using Magnet Bomb and crashing the Wii.
Ha.
When one of those associates stopped playing, the other one switched to a Magnezone, who also knew Magnet Bomb, and we went to the level we were having trouble on.
It was a steamroll. A slow, laggy steamroll (Magnet Bomb doesn't do that much damage and enemies in Advanced Rank A have a lot of health.) Well one of us got offed at the boss but he kept his integrity by switching to an Eevee with Helping Hand.
We did the Battle Royale by normal means I think, along with the bulk of Rank S, but we also went and got a bunch more Magnezone, none of whom knew Magnet Bomb, so we wound up spending 60000 coins on teaching it to one. Then we called back the other player who left, and tried doing the Battle Royale using Magnet Bomb exclusively.
It was a steamroll. For us. We got steamrolled. It was a really dumb idea and it didn't work.
But we didn't give up. We went and got even more Magnezone and managed to get three more who knew Magnet Bomb, and roped a secret fourth associate into playing with us. And we went back to the Battle Royale.
The new player took to the job of pressing the Magnet Bomb button and following commands well, but it was still hard. We lost two of our lives and I was commanded to switch to an Infernape with Close Combat to fight the Creation Trio while the rest of them bullied Mewtwo with an obscene number of magnet bombs, but we eventually did it. We won. And the Wii didn't catch fire. Actually the framerate didn't even get that bad.
That was all the gaming I think I can bear for now.
