Torterra is an ankylosaurus, a world turtle and a world tree all at once. Enough said.

Let's say I give in to madness and try to breed some Pokémon with good IVs. How do I even know what IVs my new hatches have? Don't the games go out of their way to avoid letting you know?

I wish they’d innovate on the starters’ types. No reason we can’t get a psychic, fighting, dark trio.

Vegetable posted:I wish they’d innovate on the starters’ types. No reason we can’t get a psychic, fighting, dark trio. We kinda did with the Kalos starters. However, the main reason why the starters always start off as grass, fire and water is that they act as a tutorial for how Pokémon's main battle mechanic, type match-ups work. It's easy to explain why these three interact with each other: plant-life can easily catch fire and burn, fire is extinguished by water and water is absorbed by plants. You can't easily explain why fighting is strong against dark types but fall to psychics to someone who has no idea what Pokémon even is. Not to mention that it isn't a perfect type triangle as dark is immune to psychic moves rather then just taking less damage, which tips balance towards dark.

The monkey trio in Gen 5 would have been way cooler if it was a different triangle than just the starters again.

Don't the games go out of their way to avoid letting you know? In gen 7, there's an NPC who gives you the ability to see whether a pokemon's IVs are perfect, good, bad, etc. You can't see the exact value, but if you're trying for perfection, it's enough. You need to hatch a certain number of eggs and then talk to this dude at the Battle Tree. If that all sounds like a hassle, you can use Hyper Training instead.

You need to hatch a certain number of eggs and then talk to this dude at the Battle Tree. Keep in mind that even reaching the NPC requires going through Poni Gauntlet and fighting one of the two trainers when you enter the Battle Tree. Later games make IV checking more transparent in-game, but that's usually reserved for when you've finished like 95 percent of the story including some postgame story stuff.

Mraagvpeine posted:Has anyone read Adventures? Which was your favorite part? oddium posted:should fansubs use the english or japanese character names I'm pro US Pokemon and Move Names for the sake of localization. I understand wanting to keep the Japanese references and jokes in there but unless the viewer understands Japanese the majority of it will go right over their head regardless. Or it'll be confusing most of the time except for the instances when the name pun is relevant and then they'll be able to go "oh I see, that's the joke." It still won't be funny because you had to explain it so you've really gained nothing by forcing its inclusion. For example, I love the way Lt. Surge talks in the original text, it's a ridiculous mix of Japanese and English to really hammer home his American-ness. But I only know that and I can only enjoy that because I can read the Japanese. There is absolutely no way to convey the same thing in English and it'd just sound stupid as hell if you kept it as-is and included translator notes, so him talking like an army dude is just fine. He's still loud and obnoxious so it gets his character across. It can't always be 1-to-1 in translation, languages are too different, so the best you can do it make sure as much as possible makes sense and entertains the viewer.

I like the japanese names because you get things like the fushigidane festival, where a giant fushigibana screams “We’re Mysterious!” and a crowd of a million fushigidanes say in unison “We Know, Right?” In english they just say “saur!”. So boring.

Nasgate posted:We need an Ice starter so we can have a definitive worst starter. But Chikorita already exists. An Ice starter would still be good since ice moves are still extremely useful to have. You can't say the same for grass and Chikorita has it the worst in its debut game where 5 of the gyms are either super effective against the type or are resistant to grass moves (or both!) while a sixth still takes half damage due to the fact that they're all part poison. Not to mention that Team Rocket also gives the line trouble. The only time it manages to shine is a few of the Kanto gyms but by then you should have a well-rounded team and don't need to rely on your starter any longer.

It is, however, a happy Solarbeam dino in Colosseum, where it's a pro pick due to general double strategies. But yeah, I've used Chikorita in both Gen 2 and 4, wasn't too amazing, not gonna lie.

Colosseum was a weird experiment of a Pokémon game since you're given an extremely limited number of Pokémon. Due to the lack of battles, you have 52 Pokémon at your disposal and you couldn't catch more if you were unlucky and they had low IVs or something.

Pokemon names are meant to be like specific names for animals/plants. Leaving them untranslated would be like a translation calling dogs inu or cats neko or other poo poo like that. That's my take.
