After all these years, it's probably still Blue/Gary. I think they hit the balance just right with him - he's arrogant and obnoxious enough that you always want to kick his butt, but he's never such a jerk that you outright dislike him. And that moment where you beat Lance and go into the next...

Additionally, making HMs in-battle moves always wound up creating some bizarre Story/Gameplay Segregation issues. With some HMs - surf, waterfall, rock climb - the out of battle ability was just completely different from the actual attack. Surf, especially. Out of battle, you are swimming across...

I grew out of the anime at least 15-16 years ago. Admittedly, at the time it probably had more to do with the endless filler and tedium of the Johto seasons than any increased maturity on my part, but by the time they changed things up for the Advanced seasons, I had definitely reached the point...

I agree about Stantler - its one of those mons that I always tend to forget exists. And the lack of a psychic typing is indeed baffling.

(Judging these on much more on design and concept rather than battle utility.) Definitely agree with a lot mentioned above. For me, the most mediocre tend to be the ones that seem completely redundant and pointless. Gen III and especially Gen V had the most of these, IMO - I'd say that had a...

HMs have always bugged me, mostly because most of them just arn't very good moves. Surf and Fly are excellent (though the former sucks if you've got a Water type with poor SA, like Gyarados), Strength and Waterfall quite good (but there's no point having both WF and Surf), but then you have the...

Have to agree with the main consensus - occasionally useful, but mostly astonishingly annoying. Like most of the NPCs in Sun & Moon, I found myself desperately wanting it to just shut up for a second and let me play the game. Also, this may just have been me being dumb, but I found the actual...

I've always thought an anthropomorphic chili would be perfect for Grass/Fire. Agree that a non-legendary Water/Fire typing would be nice to see too, though I'm at a loss as to what it could be. Maybe something themed around nuclear power? Or undersea vents? Has there actually been a lone...

Cheers, good to know.

I still haven't actually finished Sun & Moon. I think I'm currently in some library, looking up something about some legendary pokemon for reasons I can't remember. It makes for a strange contrast to the very similar X&Y and ORAS, both of which I just loved, and blitzed through in roughly two...

Pretty much none of the post-Generation II rivals do much of anything for me. I don't mind Brendan and May too much, because at least the friendly rival trope was actually fairly fresh and innovative back in Gen III - and they probably couldn't have topped Silver without making the rival a...

Works perfectly now. Thank you! Out of curiosity, are there pre-existing sprites set to Look Down? And are they buggy too? Or is it just when new ones are set to that movement?

Hi everyone, I've recently been attempting to make a Pokemon hack. Despite having no clue what I'm doing, the many excellent tutorials and resources found here and elsewhere have helped guide me through it. However, a very weird bug has just occurred, and I'm a bit stumped by what is causing it...
