I don't mind it. |
10
Anyways, Sun & Moon trailer for the English audience expected in a couple of hours. |
11
I really like some of the new S/M Pokémon. Wimpod is super derpy and it's got quite an interesting ability and same goes for Mudsdale. Bewear is weird though, it doesn't really feel like a Pokémon imo. |
12
Wimpod's ability will make it hard to catch, because if you knock it below half health it runs away. Can't depend on your False Swipe users here. |
13
I'm just waiting for all of the backlash from the competitive players when Sun and Moon come out and the IV training rolls out. I mean, making things less complicated and time-consuming is always bad, right? That's what Buzzfeed told me. Oh yeah, and Girafarig is pretty dang good, I used one when I did my Normal-type monotype run for Ruby and it did its job pretty well. |
14
The IV training is restricted to Lv100s so it'll actually serve as an incentive to max your Pokemon's level out. There could be a huge problem if there's no good spot to train, like the Battle Chateau did. |
15
If they're gonna do that, then I'd be baffled if they didn't make any sort of good spot for training. I don't know, just have a dungeon with Level 70-80 pokémon that opens up after you beat the game or something. There was a big lack of those in Gen 6 for some reason. Now I'm just hoping they actually have a trainer battle with someone who actually has a somewhat competitive team in-game, something like Red/Steven/whoever but turned up to 11. |
16
Battle Chateau had some trainers that only use Audino, and with a Black Writ of Challenge they get as high as levels 55 and 65. |
17
Yeah, in OR/AS there was also a certain Mirage Island which was filled with like Level 50 Audino and pretty much nothing else, but OR/AS also has the advantage of having Hidden Bases, so people made a whole ton of Blissey bases for that game anyway. It's just not the same thing though, really. |
18
I'm sure Mirage Spot encounters in OR/AS were only around Lv36, so they're unreliable. The literal best place to train was... the Elite Four. Horrible if you ask me. |
19
At least the level curve ends higher than it used to be. Back in Gen I even the Victory Road had like level 35 Pokémon or so and most weren't even evolved. Not really inviting to train there. I like the idea of Hyper Training, making it all depend on pure luck is no fun. Even a few IVs can make a difference when playing competitively. Breeding is getting really useless now, it's just the Masuda method. Breeding TM moves hasn't been necessary for some time and now this. I wonder what's coming next? :3 |
20
Looks like we get to save the Girafarig. |
Well, you still need to breed to get certain egg moves, and it's still useful to get unevolved Pokemon if you have their evolutions.
But anyways, Pineco is next! 10 EDIT: Isn't it time to make a new thread to continue the race? |
9
Sorry Pineco, you aren't my taste. And maybe we do need a new thread if we're lagging again... |
8
I don't think we need a new thread yet. But if the double-posting gets worse, I can make a new one for sure. :) As for Pineco, I'm not a real fan of it. It has Self-Destruct starting at level 6. Why is that a thing?! |
7
But someone could make a new thread before you do... |
6 it's meh :'(
|
5
Yeah... it's meh. |
4.
I'm not fond of Pineco either. It seems to love using Selfdestruct, and it doesn't look as good as Geodude or Koffing. |
3 It dead :>
|
2
Oh, here's another reason to kill it: pine cones are part of a plant, right? So why the heck is it a bug type? Yep, as good as dead indeed. |
1 I don't even care enough to check the type xD
|
0.
It's a pure Bug type. And prior to generation 4, it only learnt Normal typed moves by level! There it goes. |
10
Pineco is based on a bagworm, Lycan. Its pinecone appearance helps protect it from predators. Anyways, Forretress time. |
11
Ehhh why not its decent competitively |
