    Sticky Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

    It might be the skintight outfits, but May & Brendan look waaaay thinner to me.

    Staying away from popularity: Pokemon that you like that others don't and hate that everyone likes

    Thing is, I can easily see the rest of the starters getting their mega forms in time. ...but unless every single one gets 2, Charizard is still favored. But on the other hand, every starter getting 2 Megas would be... really over-doing it Something tells me that way in the future, when every...

    Staying away from popularity: Pokemon that you like that others don't and hate that everyone likes

    Negativity time? Alright then... Never liked Charizard from a design standpoint, not as a kid, not now. Awkwardly long slender neck on top of round chubby stomach. Two tiny knobby arms dangling uselessly on the side. Add in the fact that he gets TWO mega evolutions for no conceivable reason...

    Staying away from popularity: Pokemon that you like that others don't and hate that everyone likes

    The only thing that keeps me from liking Seviper is its "iconic" pose. It looks so awkward all scrunched up like that. Are there any real life snakes that frequently strike that pose? Because it looks unnaturally painful and impractical to me.

    Staying away from popularity: Pokemon that you like that others don't and hate that everyone likes

    The Woobat line is utterly adorable and one of my favorites. It's just so fuzzy and happy :D. Shame that Simple Swoobat isn't as viable as I would like it would be. Also: I mean... cmon, how can you hate on something that looks THAT silly. It was never TRYING to be a cool design ok? Those...

    Gimmicks you wish worked better

    Attract Power & Guard Swap Heal Block Copycat Any item that isn't life orb, choice stuff, leftovers, megastones etc. And pretty much any ability that's made obsolete thanks to superior alternatives.

    Immersion in Pokemon

    Reading your post made me reconsider mine. I'm wondering now if I misinterpreted "immersion". What my original post is about, I realize, is more my level of investment in a game rather than immersion. Basically, I get invested in well written characters and engaging story lines. I don't think...

    Immersion in Pokemon

    I'm on the same boat for Gen V. While X/Y had excellent features like 3d models and Pokemon-amie to bring your team to life, B/W is the only main series game to get me decently invested by the merit of it's storytelling alone. It's story was unusually tight and its characters were fairly...

    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    but...but...Trubbish completes the pollution trio. Air waste - Koffing, liquid waste - Grimer, solid waste -Trubbish. And it IS adorable: Maybe I just have a soft spot for silly designs without much ambition =p. It's the designs that try to be cool and fail that I typically dislike.

    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    I never even liked Charizard from a design standpoint =/ Awkwardly long slender neck on top of a chubby stomach. Tiny knobbly limbs that are somehow smaller than its prevolutions... Throw in the fact that it's a fan-favorite that got TWO mega evolutions and I'm really irritated. Seriously...

    What's your favourite main series Pokémon game?

    I pride myself in being able to ignore nostalgia when it comes to rating games despite starting Pokemon back in Gen I. Objectively speaking, I'd say Gen V was the best, more specifically BW. Storywise it had the most cohesive narrative. There were legitimate stakes and a plot that didn't come...

    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    Yea, I'm aware of most of that. At the end of the day though, regardless of circumstance, we have a complete mess of a pokémon for all english versions of the game.

    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    I actually really like Stunfisk because of just HOW "derpy" it is. I mean, there's no pretense with the guy. It's not a design that tried to be cool and failed, they wanted to make a silly looking pokemon and (in my opinion) they succeeded. To me, Stunfisk can not fail at something he never...

    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    Bah! That's easy Category: Design Mr. Mime 1. You know gamefreak is running out of ideas when they decided to make a pokemon based on MIMES... owait (Sorry, I needed to take that jab at genwunners) 2. It's humanlike in the worst way. I'm glad gamefreak never touched overtly human-esque...

    Pokemon-Amie Thread

    Well there are plenty of people that see the game as just data (which is fine obviously). I've developed a habit of playing amie for a few minutes with every newly raised team member as a bit of an initiation. GF obviously put a lot of time into this feature and it's full of fun little quirks...

    How you feel about the Kalos Champion

    I always felt like Diantha was designed to be the polar opposite of Cynthia. Dark solemn clothing -> White festive clothing Long blonde hair -> Short black hair Is involved in story -> Not involved in story Worldly and distant -> Vain but accessible Powerful team -> Meh team Overall, she's a...

    Favorite Theme from Soundtrack

    Just about all of my favorites have been mentioned already except for the Kalos Powerplant/Pokeball factory theme.

    Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    Would you say Jolly Weavile is still preferred over Adamant Weavile in XY? (All analysis' back in BW recommended Jolly) I'm just curious since a super high speed stat doesn't seem as important these days.

    Your Pre-Competitive "Strategy"

    My mind was blown when I first discovered light screen and reflect cut damage in half for FIVE TURNS. I threw dual screens on just about everyone I could in FR/LG. Later in fourth generation, I discovered competitive battling and noticed how often these nifty "hazard moves" were used. The next...

    Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    Am I missing something obvious here? What exactly can a Chesnaught do to Breloom besides take a bunch of hits? Start setting up bulk ups?
