lezard_valeth posted:also this waiting gonna suck Too much hype is actually a bad thing. Plus, the sense of discovery from seeing a Pokemon you never knew about is fun and good, and they tried to foster that with SM. (And maybe XY? I don't recall.)

There sure were a lot of D/P/Pt threads, huh.chaosapiant posted:I’m lookin forward to making a six man party based on the members of Iron Maiden and conquering the land with the power of rock! This is an awesome idea. Wait will we get a David Bowie Pokemon?? Edit: BW were just a giant circle, they were very linear. All the games have been except for RBY and, to some extent, GSC. It didn't work very well IMO and was part of the reason the level curve was messed up. Solumin fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Feb 28, 2019 |

There's no one running the Ice trial, so you've decided to step up. But first you have to complete the island challenge with a mono ice team!

Scrap Dragon posted:As someone who is currently doing an Ice Monotype run of UM: you also have Sanslash, Glaceon, Dewgong, Cloyster, Jynx, Aurorus, and Vanilluxe are catchable in-game. There’s also Weavile and Lapras if you feel like waiting until the rear end end of the game to add something to your team. US/UM are actually pretty good for Ice type availability This is what I was thinking too, though I would also trade in Ninetales-A too.

So a bunch of y'all complained about random battles coming back for Gen 8 after Let's Go removed them, and I really wasn't agreeing with you. Well I'm playing UM now and let me tell you, grinding random battles until that one 5% chance Pokemon that's only on this one route finally shows up really sucks. But I have a Pichu now so that's cool.

There are too many good Pokemon in USUM! (And in general, really.) I'm only on Route 2 and I've had to make so many hard decisions about who to swap out. I need Cutiefly on my team and I don't know who to replace.

Silver2195 posted:I was just looking through all the Grass-type moves, and wow, Grass attacks were really bad in Gen I. OK, Razor Leaf was legitimately good (since it basically always critted back then), but the only other Grass moves that dealt even moderate damage back then were Petal Dance (70 power, with a drawback) and Solarbeam (120 power, but wastes a turn). Meanwhile other types got moves like Dig, Earthquake, Body Slam, Hyper Beam (which didn't even skip a turn if it KOed), Psychic, Flamethrower, Surf, Fire Blast, and Hydro Pump. Later gens made Grass moves much better (increased power for Petal Dance, sunlight providing a way to circumvent Solarbeam's drawback, Giga Drain, Energy Ball, Power Whip, increased power for some of the Gen I moves in Let's Go). It took until Gen 7 to get a low-power physical grass move. I'm glad we finally have Energy Ball at least.

It took me until right now to remember Vine Whip. In my defense I was thinking "low powered special attack that isn't complete garbage like Absorb" since fire and water have Ember and Bubble, but I checked leafage before posting and forgot what I was looking for. My point is there seems to be a standard set of attacks and some types didn't have them for a while. Things like Ember/Bubble equivalents, elemental hyper beams, 90 damage/low pp attacks, 60 damage high pp attacks, etc.

Because if they don't have every Pokemon in every game, the only way to let people battle their friends with whatever Pokemon they want is to add it to home. Or make another app I guess?

Annath posted:What's with all the Gen 4 hate? I enjoyed them quite a lot, and HGSS especially are my 2nd favorite after RSE. "Filler legendary" sounds like an oxymoron but DPPt made it a reality. I'm not hating on the whole gen, though it's my least favorite. HGSS were really good, and I like many of the Gen IV Pokemon.

I would be surprised if "for the love of the game" isn't a theme. That's been a constant throughout Pokemon: love of Pokemon, or sometimes love of battling/training, trumps all.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:I dunno how anyone could look at Contary Leaf storm and go "Hmm yes this doesn't seem.all that useful". Fine, Serperior is great when you can get its hidden ability. It's still not great in the games, where you can't get the hidden ability. Contrary is hilariously broken in the early game though, everything has Growl or Leer.
