OMG I TOTALLY APPROVE OF DOING A BIRD RUN! *w* Haha. Birds are usually my favorite, and having both a Rowlet and a Fletchling on the same team was like a dream come true for me. xD I'd be tempted to replay Sun again (possibly to do a more dedicated bird run or something along those lines), but I'm not up for erasing my save file yet... D:

56 days until GS on the virtual console! I.AM.SO.EXCITED!!!
87.

I went with Rowlet, Torchic, Piplup, Pidgey, Swablu, and Skarmory :3
If I was to do it again, I'd pick Rowlet, but...Ducklett, Fletchling, Starly, Murkrow, Natu, maybe? I like having a multitude of types on my team, and there are some birbs I do not like at all. That said, an Oricorio run of UM with Rowlett and Pikipek for the other two might be interesting...

They did a horrible job with oricorio imo. The concept was rly neat and i would love to use them but bc you can change which one they are they dont actually learn anything for that second typing. They could have at least given them a move that was whatever their type was. Kinda like weatherball but based ln its appearance not the weather.

I agree on that. Its whole moveset consists of only Normal & Flying Type moves. It can't learn any Electric, Fire or Ghost moves either by Level Up or TMs. And the only Psychic moves it can learn are non-damaging ones. Why even can it change into those Types? A total waste of a potentially good Pokemon.

Sad to know Oricorio can't learn moves to match its types. I had actually thought of using one at some point.
It is annoying how it has to rely on Revelation Dance for secondary STAB. It's a Normal-type move because of how gimmicky it is.

I find the only 4 moves at any given instance, a bit weird. Take for e.g. a Pokemon like Alakazam, whose Pokedex entry (literally) says:-

Its brain can out-perform a supercomputer. Its intelligence quotient is said to be 5,000.

And yet, it has to forget a move, in order to learn a new one .

Balancing a game could be a hard job but I,m totally sick with the idea of 4 moves only.And it gets more annoying when all moves I have are great but the new move is required to win the game.

What if pokemon could learn 5 moves?

I guess unless your name is Silvally or Arceus then you're out of luck with move choices.

There technically are 5th moves...Z-moves :P
I can't even imagine how much chaos the competitive community would be in if they added a 5th move slot.

Yup! It would definitely catch the current metagame off-guard, but putting that aside, I'm also really curious as to what number of moves people think would (potentially) be the healthiest for the game... or at least, as close to healthy as possible haha.

That's actually kinda true...

Yeah, I think there'd be a lot of reading to do after that. XD

Honestly I don't know but I would like to see what having a 5th slot is like at least. What about you?

101. So close yet so Farfetch'd

Four moves is probably a good balance. Some Pokémon could really use a fifth slot, what do you think about Barrier/Amnesia/Leech Seed/Ingrain/Toxic Cradily with Leftovers? No way you can still bring that thing down.

I kinda wanna see more moves introduced just because it'd upset the metagame, which is already tremendously unbalanced anyway, so it wouldn't make a huge difference...it might even do some weaker Pokemon some good.

Plus there's the whole "realism" argument, I guess. Teach a dog to bite on command and it does not forget how to wag its tail, or walk, or breathe fire

Pokemon memory works like data on you laptop/mobile I guess. If you run out of space, you need to delete stuff, to add new. Still silly tbh, but I guess that's the theory used .

Especially annoying when good competitive Pokemon are crippled by 4 slot syndrome.
