Jarogue posted:Isn't it weird to only have about 69 new Pokemon made for Gen 6. I know a lot of the new Pokemon are in the Mega Pokemon, but they at least could have gotten to 90 or 100 new Pokemon. Even Diamond and Pearl had 107 new Pokemon. Consensus is that the development time that would have otherwise gone to designing more new Pokemon instead went to modeling and animating all 718 Pokemon plus Megas in 3D.

There's definitely an imbalance with the Mega evolutions where some of them are viable in either form (like Gengar) but some of them really need the Mega form to be viable (Mawile). If you see someone toss out a Gengar in competitive play, you have to wonder whether or not it'll Mega evolve and change the situation, but if you see Mawile come out you know what's about to happen.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Actually some might. Since the initial release we've known the mega-forms give access to new moves some times (Mega Kangaskahn gets Power-Up Punch for example.) How does this work? Does the new move overwrite one of its existing moves temporarily?

The logistics of having your Pokemon follow you around in a 3D game must be staggering. I didn't expect them to have that working right away.

At first he thought it was Amoura or whatever it's called, but when it wasn't weak to fighting he was like "Oh, that looks like my Sliggoo. Level 49, I'm getting close!" Has it been confirmed that Sliggoo doesn't evolve into Goodra until level 70? There's nothing else that can be done?

As much as I love Chesnaught, he's nearly useless for the last third or so of the game. Everything has a Flying move. Or an Ice move. or a Psychic move. Or a god dammit Chesnaught why is your typing so poo poo I used a Tyrantrum as well, and incidentally he's another cool mon with a glass jaw due to a terrible typing.

Kelp Plankton posted:Chesnaught is the first starter I think I'm going to end up dropping from my team before I get to the Elite Four. I've always brought them along the whole way in past games and then let them retire as breeding stock, so it makes me feel bad about how Chesnaught is just kind of going to fade into the background while my Blastoise continues to kick everything's rear end. Yeah. Pure Water is an embarassingly good typing, and Mega Blastoise with Surf and Ice Beam switches the game to Very Easy Mode. Meanwhile, Chesnaught's fainting animation is permanently stamped in my mind from seeing it so much.
