I understand most of Geeta's team being derided for being mediocre, but I also think her team as a whole isn't that bad. It's just that everything aside from Kingambit/Glimmora just has rather middling stats (or, at worst, will fold to any moderately powerful super effective special attack, in...

I agree that Kingambit is fine earlier on in her team lineup but Glimmora is kind of built to be something that disrupts team composition from the start. I love the 'mon, and I think it's cool that it's Geeta's ace, but forcing her to send it out last just because of Tera is genuinely a...

I'd argue there's a small compromise for BW in the form of the Dream World, given that it was the first game to introduce Hidden Abilities but with next to no evidence of this in the main game aside from the Route 4/Desert Resort Darmanitan, if I'm remembering right. I guess the lack of Hidden...

? Okay, I'll bite. I think the change to a DLC model makes a lot more sense than releasing a "third version" with new content, with how much "content" was actually added with Crystal/Emerald/Platinum. § I don't like everything about the DLC model. I actually disagree with $PAID$ DLC/content...

I actually think that's a good way of looking at it, having a place for an encounter makes them more memorable. Volcanion was actually the one I was thinking of as an outlier; I fully agree with the ways Marshadow and Zeraora would evade people. You're probably right about the steam cloaking...

I don't really even care if they have developed lore, just that they can be directly connected to the world in some way. Deoxys is weak in that regard (so both of Gen 3's mythicals fail that test), but having a location to tie it to still makes it feel like they cared a little more, at least to...

Pecharunt is probably the most fleshed-out mythical but Gen 6-8 was a bit of a lull in GF connecting mythicals to the rest of the world. Mew's location isn't well-defined (Gen 3 Old Sea Map notwithstanding) but it's the genetic basis for Mewtwo, and is said to have some sort of connection to...

Whenever I see comments about DPPt's team composition I'm always reminded that I feel that my Diamond team was weird, for both the average player and for me. I only used five main Pokémon (Torterra, Golduck, Bronzong, Crobat, Machamp), and none of them are particularly strong favorites (I did...

I don't think there was ever much ambiguity that Team Plasma was evil through their actions; the ambiguity came more from exploring if Pokémon really wanted to be with humans (and how N wanted to champion their separation).

Charmander and Charmeleon learning the move is new to Gen 9; a quick comparison of the move's distribution from Gen 8 to 9 shows some slightly increased availability (in addition to the littler Chars, both Gravelers and Elekid get the move for the first time in Gen 9, for example). I think...

I'm not sure exactly what you've seen but this might be related to Sean Schemmel voicing both Lucario and Goku in English.

This is why I think they nerfed it the wrong way; I would have cut its special stats exclusively (down to 120/130 or something).

Gen 5 had a few strange TM decisions (the Tympole line/Keldeo not being able to learn Ice Beam, relatively low EQ distribution compared to other gens) that a few Pokémon suffered for for no apparent reason. I don't mind the idea of certain moves being more restricted but I think it only really...

Apologies for the "um, actually," but Bug doesn't resist Fairy. It's easier to say that every type that resists Fairy also resists Grass. That's actually pretty bad overlap without covering it with something else lol (which Meganium can do of course).
