Chansey's already in the OU. Nurse Joy, how about making her uber. (pa du clang)

[–]alice_advent 43 points44 points ago

I have no idea what kinds of overlap we have between /pokemon and /tf2, but it sounds like there's room for pkmnjokeexplainer here.

Team Fortress 2 is a class based objective oriented multiplayer FPS. Capture the flag, attack/defend, capture and hold.

This picture depicts cp_steel, a control point or attack/defend map. Blue team must attack attack 5 control points and hold them for a period until it is "captured," at which point they can push on to the next point. Red team's goal is to stop them. Hence the title, "Cap Them All."

This is the last control point on the map. As the defending team Chansey, Joy, and Jenny are holding the last point to prevent a capture and loss of the round. Note that when a member of team Red is physically on the point Blue will be unable to capture and must dispatch said Red team member first. They are exhibiting best practices by fighting on the point. Except for Jenny. Snipers should only be on point as a last resort. What are you doing Jenny, get out of there.

The three classes here are:

Heavy (Chansey): A high health tank (is Chansey still a good wall in B/W?) type character with an iconic minigun that deals heavy damage at close to mid range.

Medic (Joy): A support class that focuses on on healing friendly players. Also has the ability to periodically turn herself and the team member she's healing invulnerable for 8 seconds. Heavy's high health makes them a great partner for Medics (as shown).

Sniper (Jenny): A sniper is a sniper. Special weapons are obviously the sniper rifle. The rifle deals more damage the longer it is scoped in and leaves a visible designator dot. Note that the laser-like trail in the back is colored red. That's the laser trail of another (friendly) sniper. Sniper's can also fill a jar with urine and throw it at enemy players to increase damage dealt to the target. Alternatively they can throw it at friendly players to extinguish fires set by Pyros (another class).

Pokemon not included.

[–]YngviFreyr 10 points11 points ago

Don't forget that Chansey is wearing one of the Heavy's hats (Gentleman's Ushanka). Hats are the most important part of tf2.

[–]hydra877 2 points3 points ago

I think its the Officer's Ushanka, since the Gentleman's one is from the Medic.

[–]YngviFreyr 1 point2 points ago

Ah good catch, I must have gotten them mixed up.

[–]ElAvestruz 0 points1 point ago

Chansey is in the OU tier on smogon so I suppose Chansey is still a good wall.

[–]Icalasari 0 points1 point ago

Eviolite doubles its defenses, putting that HP stat to good use

[–]TellThemYutesItsOver 0 points1 point ago

You can throw.. urine at people?

How am I the only one to question this?

[–]Ayoza[S] 1 point2 points ago

Welcome to TF2.

[–]hydra877 0 points1 point ago

It's TF2. It rapes logic right on the butt.

The "urine jar" is called Jarate (Jar-based Karate) which is thrown like a grenade. Targets soaked with it take 35% more damage from friendlies and yourself.

[–]thedarklordkyp -3 points-2 points ago

You have no idea why the overlap?

Simple, many people who grew up with pokemon are gamers, many of them play PC games, TF2 is a very popular (and now a days, free!) PC game. (Its also out on consoles, but I don't think its as popular outside PC)

I'm pretty sure you'll find TF2 overlaps with a lot of videogames and other cartoons, as will pokemon.

[–]OccamsAxe 3 points4 points ago

He didn't say he was unsure about why there was an overlap. He was unsure about how much of one there was.

[–]thedarklordkyp 0 points1 point ago

Really? My bad.

[–]MericaMericaMerica 12 points13 points ago

Chansey can already have boxing gloves, so it's about time that it gets a machine gun.

[–]stormsweeper 9 points10 points ago

What is in that jar next to jenny?

[–]hydra877 30 points31 points ago

Jarate.

[–]Zombie_Army 15 points16 points ago

It's pee-pee, baby!

[–]makkusueru 7 points8 points ago

jarate.... piss

[–]Rathalos 6 points7 points ago

Jasmine creeping on the top left lol

[–]neito 3 points4 points ago

Is it bad that I instantly recognized this as the last point in CP_Steel?

[–]Zombie_Army 16 points17 points ago

What's bad is realizing that until they cap B, there's no way this picture could actually happen. Heavys, Medics and Snipers can't get to E on cp_steel until the bridges are up.

Also, they're all shooting at a wall where no one could possibly be.

[–]planetyonx 5 points6 points ago

I feel like Jenny would be better as a soldier, not to mention she wouldn't last very long down there with her rifle unless she's pretty dang good, and even then snipers are really squishy.

[–]Jay21310 5 points6 points ago

Officer Jenny's right leg is totally not attached to her body

[–]goliath067 0 points1 point ago

yeah, that hip doesn't work right

[–]blfang 2 points3 points ago

Does anyone have the source of this image?

[–]azsazzin 3 points4 points ago

i almost thought officer jenny's weapon was a huge lollipop o.o

[–]Natsuu 5 points6 points ago

Well, there is a huge lollipop in TF2. It's called the Lollichop.

[–]Douche_ex_machina 2 points3 points ago

Thats not entirely impossible in tf2.

[–]Pokeninja 2 points3 points ago

I would totally play a first person shooter game starring Nurse Joy, Chansey, and Officer Jenny! :3

[–]Dakar-A 4 points5 points ago

Anyone else see the Raichu in the top left corner?

[–]0GAVAN0 16 points17 points ago

I saw that as well. But I believe that is Jasmine

[–]Imagine_This 10 points11 points ago

She's the announcer. "WE HAVE LOST, I AM DISAPPOINTED."

[–]Isatis_tinctoria -1 points0 points ago

Umbreon?

[–]Armadylspark 0 points1 point ago

I believe she's the spy. It's very TF2 esque.

[–]TheUnderdog2020 0 points1 point ago

There is no Raichu. If you are referring to the shadow in the window, that's Jasmine.

[–]Architeryx 0 points1 point ago

Did anyone notice the silhouetted Pikachu chillin above them on the balcony in the upper left region of the picture or am I insane...

[–]TheUnderdog2020 0 points1 point ago

It's Jasmine. She's classed as a spy...apparantly

[–]Armadylspark 2 points3 points ago

At first I thought "If Joy and Chansey are out there shooting stuff up, who'll be the medic?". Then I noticed how Joys bazooka thing was shooting out health.

[–]MexicanFightingSquid 6 points7 points ago

That's called a medigun, but bazooka thing sounds good too. And that jar, it's full of piss, for throwing.

[–]Armadylspark 1 point2 points ago

Well isn't that just...special.

[–]hydra877 0 points1 point ago

It makes the target soaked with it take 35% more damage (supposedely by feeling humiliated and letting its defense drop). It also short-circuits the Invisibility Watches of the Spy, a class designed to assassinate key targets by disguising, fooling them, and stabbing them on the back with his knife for a guaranteed one-hit kill.

[–]fiction8 0 points1 point ago

I would play this game.

[–]mahound 1 point2 points ago

Chansey as heavy...the hail of bullets would never end

[–]Douche_ex_machina 1 point2 points ago

Why is chansy shooting invincible glass?

[–]sunfishchildmanbo 0 points1 point ago

Oh no, what happened to officer Jenny's right leg?! These bastards!

[–]NSFW_MIM 0 points1 point ago

Team Rocketress 2

[–]Wilhelm_III 0 points1 point ago

I would definitely play a Pokemon version of TF2.

[–]itaremeelar 0 points1 point ago

It looks like Officer Jenny's right foot is actually a left foot. Can't unsee.

[–]pokka95 1 point2 points ago

pokéfortress 2?

[–]TwoLegsJoe 0 points1 point ago

What sick man shoots at Chansey?

[–]DJAshian 0 points1 point ago

"JOYYY!!" "Yes Cheavy?" "CHARGE MEH!!!"

[–]Vinnayz 1 point2 points ago

This is gonna be a real piece o' piss!

[–]HalcyonAndroid 0 points1 point ago

its been awhile since I played tf2 but, why is there a sniper on the point?

[–]Qirajin 0 points1 point ago

The announcer as Jasmine on the top left.

[–]inimitablegeek 0 points1 point ago

Those skirts, man... Those skirts.

[–]Battlesheep -1 points0 points ago

[–]aradraugfea 0 points1 point ago

I have no idea why Chansey as Heavy amuses me so much.

[–]MrPee123 0 points1 point ago

is that a jar of piss?

[–]SpaceHaven 1 point2 points ago

[–]elwoodiomaximus 0 points1 point ago

Zombie Apocalypse: Pokemon Style

[–]SiriusBeatz 0 points1 point ago

The antagonists of the next generation of Pokemon should be called Team Fortress.

[–]Smashman2004 0 points1 point ago

I want to know how a Heavy, Medic and Sniper got on to the final point of Steel without the bridges being extended...

[–]PotatoKingdom 1 point2 points ago

[–]0shawhat 0 points1 point ago

I see Jasmine.

[–]twasajester 0 points1 point ago

Can we get a better angle?

[–]Daugo 0 points1 point ago

Wouldn't officer Jenny be blue team and nurse Joy be red?

[–]TheUnderdog2020 -1 points0 points ago

Needs more upskirt. xD

[–]ThatUnFunnyDude32 0 points1 point ago

I dont know if its been done... But. "Chansey used bullet seed!!"
