Diancie doesn't make much sense to me. I get they were trying to make it a rare thing to carbink (evolution?) but then there is no actual link to them. Carbink doesn't evolve into it. Another missed opportunity. They could've given out a rare item that evolves Carbink. I don't want some random princess coming in. I don't know her. I want this ugly carbink, my bestie, to turn into the princess.

Diancie is just further proof that event pokemon are awful. Could of been a cool Carbink evolution, but instead its a completely separate thing.

OHKO moves like Fissure and Horn Drill were 100% based around speed and Blastoise was a slow fucker

Fissure Blastoise is a legit speedrun strategy. In Gen I X-Accuracy ignores all accuracy checks so you just oneshot everything on the ground and Blizzard any flying foes. Also Blizzard has 90 accuracy in Gen I so swap Ice Beam out for that if you need more power.

LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING
Ampharos can use Power Gem, but...Diancie can't...huh. Nintendo is weird.

Power Gem is okay for Ampharos, making it possibly the only decent Pokemon that can use it to some effect. my normal Ampharos in-game moveset is Thunderbolt/Signal Beam/Power Gem/Thunder Wave. sometimes Iron Tail, lol.

They should allow tutoring of V-Create the same way they do Secret Sword and Relic Song.

The Victini that is now available does not know V-Create. Bulbapedia claims that there was a Japan-only serial code giveaway of Victinis with V-Create. I wonder if gen 7 will allow it to be tutored or something, or it will remain an event-exclusive move.

This matters, of course, because I got to decide what nature I want mine to have.

Mega Audino gains Healer, the subpar ability that regular Audino already has. Medicham is just regular Medicham squared. Glalie and Banette were given interesting gimmicks but requires dying to use effectively (Banette gets a Prankster Destiny Bond while Glalie has a Refrigerated Explosion). Even Pidgeot is gimped because of its crummy movepool and No Guard letting it get hit by things like Stone Edge.

Beedrill benefited from Mega Evolution the most since regular Beedrill wasn't worth using beforehand.

pidgeot gets a stab special never missing 110 base power move in one of the best attacking types in the game and mega-medicham is the best wall breaker in ou

both of them are better than mega beedrill because they can stay in without exploding

I'm gonna restart my game of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire this month to event farm some Victinis and trade them for event Pokemon from earlier this year. I've got some time tomorrow, so I can get you an extra one probably. Just let me know what natures you would like, and I can soft reset until I get one. If you have something cool to trade, awesome, if not, NP.

You can trade them with people on your 3DS friends list, though. Also, I'm part of other Pokemon trading communities to meet other people who want to trade legendaries, etc..

ETA: Which reminds me, if you have a PAL 3DS (Europe, Australia, New Zealand), right now you can get a Darkrai Mystery Gift by using the code DARKRAI2016. There's also a Mewoth with the move Happy Hour with the code HAPPY. No idea when they end, but both started recently.

Pretty sure GF still has no clue what they are doing in some aspects of the game. Like movepools that doesn't match the ability- poor flareon. I wish they would just revamp movepools . Don't even care if they don't change the stats bc now we know they are doing megas/alolan/whatever. I would totally use Carbink (edit: carbink was a bad example) if it's movepool had more to it. Like Kingler- it has sheer force but no waterfall, or much else that would support it better.

What is this bullshit??? There was a HA Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres giveaway?

I was subscribed to the Pokemon Trainer Club like ages ago, and when I went to check, the latest mail I received was like last December asking me to confirm if I still want to be subscribed to Pokemon Trainer Club. Obviously I saw it just now so I didn't answer so I was automatically unsubscribed.

Some Pokemon have their own specific Z moves. They only showed snorlax and Aloan Raichu. For the first like two months of the game players can get a free Munchlax with SnorlianZ the item that gives Snorlax his special Z move, Pressed Pancake. He does a huge Belly flop on the opponent with it.

It was probably originally a Carbink evolution, but got singled out once Gamefreak realized that they didn't have the required cute little Legendary. I assume it took the role Hoopa was originally meant to have.
