The only thing Sycamore hears/sees from Lysandre is his desire for "a more beautiful world". Diantha has less of an excuse for not seeing past the facade when he starts getting mad about the linear progression of time. Lysandre isn't that unsubtle except for looking like a video game antagonist, honestly. The problem is more that his motivations and actions are incoherent and the entire game has absolutely dreadful writing chops that can't carry that.

Eiba posted:I feel like you gotta rate Rocket relative to the fact that they were first. These guys are just are pokemon criminals. That's gimmick enough in the first game- most people are having fun with kid friendly cockfights, and these guys are like stealing poo poo and taking over cities. That's their gimmick and it's pretty solid in its own context. Yeah Zacian styles all over Zamazenta. I don't know what moves Zamazenta starts with beyond Behemoth Bash, but Sacred Sword alone just destroys the poor shield dog. What's that you raised your defense by coming in? And you're steel/fighting? Too bad I have a fighting move that ignores defense boosts and I'm faster than you. Zamazenta would need MORE hp and some fire or ground move to even the scales.

Bunch of attacks, huge shield, spams an AOE attack, and because the typing gets super-effectives against what feels like 2/3s of the AI mons. Edit: that raid took me like 2 whole days. Lvl 96 eternatus couldn't do it. Lvl 70ish Zacian couldn't do it. High 60s leveled Steelix with really great stats couldn't. Same with Skuntank. Just a loving bear of a raid. I was considering leveling up a light screen user, but ran out of candies. alpha_destroy fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Nov 30, 2019 |

Blaziken386 posted:oh yeah they're still fun, don't get me wrong. I might've ranked them lower but they're enjoyably stupid - aside from Team Flare, none of the goodsquads are bad. The fact that you see them lining up to pay to go into the museum before their attempted heist is peak The double shield breaking effect of your own gigamax attacks is good too, once you bust through and their defense drops you will be able to win even if you're back to normal size.

The thing where shinies have a higher chance of showing up if you defeat 500 of the same one, does that only affect wild Pokemon or can it affect eggs too edit: Also related to egg hatching, what's the thing I need to make it so the nature of the parent goes to the child? I want to breed a better Toxtricity, but I only want the Amped version like I have now

BlazetheInferno posted:I'm pretty sure he's talking about Gigantamaxes, and comparing their catch rate to Legendaries. Yeah, Gigants are a pain to catch, and "1 catch attempt per encounter" is a mechanic I do not care for at all in general. I mean at least most of them are worse than just regular old Dynamaxing. But rare encounters + making them hard to catch in general is sure a way to make the player feel awful.

The only balls you should ever have end-game are net, quick, repeat, and dusk. Maybe a couple ultra balls for first time catches that aren't in raid dens(which count as night time) Or pretty ones for fashion
