I'm more into them changing the scene where Team Rocket names cgi silhouettes, and does it wrong. Alakazam is not a Scyther.

This is by design, to balance the fire starter with the two good first stages and terrible third.

You mean they both have bad middle stages and good 1st and finals like drat near every good starter.

Such a pity it took them wasting Buzzwole, Xurkitree, Blacephalon, Stakataka, Poipole, Naganadel, Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma to finally get the Ultra Beasts right

They did not waste Buzzwole at all. It was perfect.

Anyone know if these are locked into a nature or if I'm going to have to soft-reset a bunch for the 1% likelihood I'll ever use one of these guys? I haven't picked them up yet cause I'm playing HeartGold again AKA "Call Screening Simulator 2008". Haha, gently caress you Todd.

You can just breed them with Ditto to pass on the HA. The only reason why we couldn't get them before is because they don't call their own species during a wild battle.

Woo isn't this riveting.

I do like them leaving the names in since it's fun to learn various names, but it's just fansubs doing it for the heck of it, or they don't like the English names. I would say watch the dub to alleviate this, but no one should watch the dub.

To simulate watching the dub, mute the sound and replace it with bland garbage unless its from the games or the Team Rocket theme.

mega-garchomp arguably becomes worse since its speed goes down when it evolves. idk if any other pokemon mega-evos are considered worse tho

maybe slowbro? I think it loses regenerator which is a really good ability

Nope. It just turns into a different kind of tank that you can't crit. You can argue that Regenrator Audino gets worse in single battles.

Let's take a look at Ash's league results and what caused them.

Kalos: Ash narrowly loses to character introduced fighting champions and elite four members, they immediately team up in the following arc and there Ash has the upper hand. That arc itself is a nice send-off to "classic-style" Pokémon.

And no one gave a single gently caress about it, because that outcome killed the show immediately.

It sounds like you need to stay off of the other sites if they've got you this riled up. I see the whine videos on YouTube, I don't click even if I might have the same views on it.
