Just make the stats higher of the already restricted legendaries. They are the most unique ones anayway and could really be buffed in power. Make them as strong as the RYB Mewtwo, a true legendary.

Those legendaries are pretty much already Mewtwo's equal in strength. He really only became an unstoppable force against in the current two generations, where he gained Psystrike for tearing down physical walls and a pair of Mega Evolutions. Until then he was on par with other restricted legendaries like Kyogre and Darkrai.

You're right, tiers should be even more divided and casual play without strict rules about what you can use should be even less fun.

World consistency vs. balance. There's no real right answer.

pokeballs would be the literal worst thing to get right now, we have a space in our party for lapras aleady, we don't want to fill it with random poo poo.

There's like zero world consistency in pokemon in the first place and any improvements to balance that don't move it towards a RSE style turtlefest at higher levels are more fun for both playing casually and seriously, so I think there is. :colbert:

I'm actually pretty disappointed they didn't fill up the PC with poo poo mons while they were screwing around the Safari Zone, just so we could watch them trying to clear out space to get Lapras or something.

There's really only one sensible objective right now, which is going back to Saffron to do Silph Co. Even if they wanted to finally get Fly first, it's mostly the same way.

Well, technically they could teach something Surf and go to Seafoam Island, but lol

It's more a sizable minority of the chat wants to go to the PC because we will magically somehow retrieve BigDig or a Rhyhorn (that we would need to level up 14 times before it can learn surf) rather than best case, grab a random one of our 8 venonats or nidorans, worst case deposit our actually good pokemon in there forever.
The non-idiots are trying to push for Saffron/SilphCo for Lapras and Saffron Gym

Chat has really short memories and probably will continue to push for the PC until they get burned again - it's been like ~2 days since they released a guy they liked and have forgotten why we don't PC.

Trade a Shiny from Gold/Silver to Gen 1, then have a Ditto or Missingno. transform into it to become shiny when traded into gen 2. There was also a way to get whatever you wanted with the Mew glitch by getting a Ditto to transform.

Saagonsa posted:

yeah, i think it turned anything that used it into a ditto

Went and looked this up; the specific one I was thinking about was

The pokemon that get them hold a special item and you can do it during battle. They revert afterwards.

You can also only do one in any battle.

Also the pokemon that get them are kinda weird and arbitrary. Also Charizard gets 2, as does Mewtwo.
