@Pannic Uhh elaborate???

Read chapter of Fallout Equestria. Got annoyed. Discussed. Bitched. Found out about a future scene in which Calamity guns down a raider foal. Bitched some more. Got told off by a soldier. Now I generally feel like shit, and Fallout Equestria continues to annoy me.

I already posted that...

Tick Tock, goes the clock/ He cradled and he rocked her/ Tick Tock, goes the clock/Till River kills the Doctor.

@Chad: Hm. I really need to read all the way through things before I comment, don't I?

Whatever, there are plenty of revival cards, and other such nonsense.

Or we could be playing magic, and I could play it as an instant! My new roommate wants me to get into that game... I'm thinking of building a white/blue deck. I want to build it for buffs and debuffs.

@Pannic: Well that bites.

Why'd the soldier bitch you out?

Wow, that actually looks really fucking stupid when I put it like that.

Let's just say we had a clash between my pacifistic sensibilities and his military experience. And it ended up with me on the bad end.

Well, going by the number given in the original question, Eevee and Pikachu aren't in the list. If he had said 17, they would be.

Twilight - no idea
Applejack - Turtwig
Rarity - Piplup
Pinkie - Tepig
Rainbow - Torchic
Fluttershy - Oshawott
Apple Bloom - Bulbasaur
Scootaloo - Chimchar
Sweetie Belle - Chikorita

Apparently the guy had had to shoot a kid while in the line of duty and asked him what HE would have done in that situation.

#208183 kegisak Mon, 28th May '12 9:16:25 PM

EDIT: Ah, well then.

...I got nothing.

But it still seems like an odd thing to include in the story. I mean there's no point aside from pointless shock, really.

Wouldn't Rainbow get Turtwig?

How could a pony fire a gun?

#208185 the Librarian Mon, 28th May '12 9:17:41 PM from his own little world

Well it is kind of justified, story-wise. Littlepip locks up on seeing him and can't do anything, Velvet doesn't have a gun...Calamity basically followed his principles and did what he did because no one else was going to do anything.

Tick Tock, goes the clock/ He cradled and he rocked her/ Tick Tock, goes the clock/Till River kills the Doctor.

#208186 Pannic Mon, 28th May '12 9:18:10 PM

Yeah, "I got nothing" is a pretty shitty feeling. Look, point is I kinda just feel like shit right now, and Fallout Equestria is irritating me again.

And then I irritate everyone in the Fallout Equestria thread.

#208187 kegisak Mon, 28th May '12 9:19:26 PM

@Librarian: Yes, but why is it even there? What's the point of the scene? Does it tie into an emotional thing, or something? Is it a character point? If not, it's just pointless fucking shock and realism or not it's a stupid, cheap scene to have.

#208188 stevebat Mon, 28th May '12 9:19:42 PM

@Pannic. I got nothing. I have burned out my arguments in that field a LOOOOONG time ago.

Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.

#208189 Swasfews Mon, 28th May '12 9:19:56 PM from New York

I don't see why they would get starters similar to their pets. Rainbow picked Tank in the episode when she was saved by him. With the starters, they would go by what they know.
Fire=cool. Fire/Fighting=cooler. I had a choice between Blaziken and Infernape, and because I think Blaziken looks cooler, I went with it. I also wanted to put RD and Scootaloo with similar starters.

#208190 Chadaman 99 Mon, 28th May '12 9:21:50 PM

Their both turtles?

@Pannic Well if your feeling bad, I'd say watch something amusing. Like what I'm watching now.

#208192 kegisak Mon, 28th May '12 9:28:38 PM

Then in that case, you're right to be pissed against it. If it holds no point then it only exist for a cheap tug at the hearstrings. The situation was tragic, yes, and there was no other way it could have gone down. But this is a fictional situation. there was no need for it to have occurred in the first place.

#208193 Pannic Mon, 28th May '12 9:32:37 PM

I dunno. I haven't gotten to that part in the story. I can only assume based on my fairly low opinion of the story.

It's sad, because at the rate I'm reading it's gonna take me a really long time to get to wherever it supposedly starts to get good.

I think I'll take a shower. That might make me feel better. If not, I'll be back to bitch as usual.

#208194 stevebat Mon, 28th May '12 9:32:45 PM

Let me just point out, that, that scene is plausible within the boundaries of the setting. Both you guys might want to consider against reading further because there is a much MUCH worse scene later on. Arbu, Cannibal ponies, Little pip flips the fuck out and decides that Incendiary ammunition is the appropriate response to the situation.

Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.

#208195 storyyeller Mon, 28th May '12 9:33:25 PM from Appleloosa

Totadile looks the firecest out of the starters I know.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#208196 Pannic Mon, 28th May '12 9:33:35 PM

I'm fairly aware of that. Oh boy, the arguments that went on forever in the Fallout Equestria thread.

Now I'm going to take that shower for real.

#208197 Udthe Imp Mon, 28th May '12 9:34:12 PM from Stamford, CT

My picks:

Pinkie Pie - Totodile, due to it being an alligator like Gummy
Rarity - Snivy, because its smug look just seems to DEMAND is being own by the fashionista, and its evolution as the most stylish of all the starters
Rainbow Dash - Squirtle, due to the speed based irony and it being a water type, making it help out with weather
Applejack - Turtwig, because of its evolution possible allows her grow apples on it as well as being a BIG help during applebucking season
Fluttershy - Chikorita, due to it being the cutest and most docile, or Cyndaquil, because its the closest to the woodland creatures she usually works with
Twilight Sparkle - Charmander, either to help her study dragons, or Chimchar, as a chance for her to study primates AND have a assistant that can do jobs Spike either cannot do or need help on
Apple Bloom - Tepig, because she lives on a farm and while just as rough and tumble and love the apple business like her sister but doesn't seem to connected with the gardening part of her heritage
Scootaloo - Piplup, due to here wanting to emulate Rainbow Dash
Sweeite Belle - Mudkip or Oshawatt
Big Mac - Treecko, strong silent type
Zecora - Bulbasaur, due to the plant on its back having uses in herbal remedies

#208199 Swasfews Mon, 28th May '12 9:38:12 PM from New York

Scootaloo - Torchic, OBVIOUS

I was specifically trying to avoid this joke.

#208200 Chadaman 99 Mon, 28th May '12 9:40:08 PM

You shouldn't avoid, what shouldn't be avoided.

Go figure. Can't see to find a Rarity Snivy crossover.
