Sure would be interesting to see how remake metas would shape up then, like updated versions of the classic generation.

The Bee posted:If it turns out the best use of Dynamax will be set-up plays, I'm going to laugh my rear end off. I'm imagining all of these spectators getting ready for Kaiju action, only to instead be faced with two sea serpents DBZ powering up at each other until they shrink down to manageable size. well its a bit weirder than that, odds are dragon dance won't stay as a stat-boosting move upon dynamaxing and will instead become like Max Guard or something. but gyarados in particular can still use the added durability to setup with a bit of forethought - if you can get it in on a turn where the opponent would need to switch you can dragon dance and then dynamax for that huge HP boost on the following turn. since you still have Moxie if you're able to KO your opponent (which is fairly likely because you're a gyarados with +1 attack and a bunch of Dynamax-strength moves) you're still effectively setting up by scoring KOs. and because dynamax pokemon still get items unlike mega pokemon you can give it something like the electric resist berry so it doesn't get threatened by those. by the time the dynamax wears off you're probably at +3 attack and half the opponent's team is dead

The joke is that it's Penny Arcade ripoff that did a miscarriage arc, although that may be forgotten somewhat.

Theoretically the game can be balanced for it being on and gamefreak might want to show that off. I'm not saying it is balanced for it, but if it is, I see gamefreak's logic.

Are you playing the Gen 1 or 2 game on the DS Virtual Console? You can use that with the Poketransporter, and get those Pokémon on your later generation games with their Hidden Abilities.

I'll defend dexit, because there's a lot of pokemon and it might make the meta actually change between games, even if it's a bitter pill to swallow. but the exp share thing is lovely (they ARE aware that nuzlocke is, like, a big thing, right? why would they kneecap part of that.)

You could counter that 5 percent of poképlayers is still a shitload of precious yen and you'd prolly be right, so idk.

All this has happened before and all this will happen again. for sure, though there's something to be said for novelty and i think having a rotation like a tcg is an interesting idea. there's always going to be a meta (though "like 10 pokemon" is pretty disingenuous) but having shake-ups gives each meta a unique flavor.

No I agree but I was using an exaggeration about it because that the game is going to be more 'balanced' because you cut out a bunch of legendaries isn't really balancing. You're still gonna get a lot of pokemon that just are not used in comp at all and you're gonna get a handful that are The Core.
