Gen 7 AG but with everything in gen 9?At this point I just want all the broken things to be restored to its pre nerf state. Bring backs Megas, Z-Moves, Dynamax, un nerf gems, bring the partner Pokémon in and let everything fight to see who is the most broken mon of all.
you mean you don't want Pokemon Vivid Violet & Pokemon Supreme Scarlet?!Why does this gen's competitive design genuinely feel like it was done by a fangaame creator (and I mean that in a bad way)

Game isnt out to the public yet, and all the leakers are pointing out mons moves and data. Put a pin in this and come back a week or 2 from now before you go on a tirade. Almost every mon had roots in England for SwSh, but thats far from the current focus of people rn.Ok, this and all posts like it are fucking bullshit
show me all those african inspired pokemon from gen 6
hell, show me one reference to Portugal at all
but more to the point, pretending that people from different cultures are the same is a shitty thing to do
every other region not named Kalos was given more attention to their particular culture than this
I mean what part of Spain is reflected in Paldea? the Poke-church? yeah "europe has christian churches, news at 11", yeah it's the Sagrada Familia but that's like one of several different spanish landmarks which are frankly more distinctive
what have we been shown that tells us "this is Spain" so far? the food? tertiary activity aside we seen paella and spanish style tortillas, which is appreciated; but fucking quesadillas? might as well have some piaparan while we're are it, same culture and all
so what else?
...
so far, well nothing comes to mind
also
after the loving detail given to the japanese colonizers in Legends Arceus and the bizzare mismanagement of the ainu which somethimes made me think I was watching fucking Peter Pan, I know that:
a) when Gamefreak wants, they can do some very detailed research on a particular culture
b) sometimes they go "we don't give a fuck about those people" and do a lazy job
and let me tell you; nothing's more lazy than portraying a buch of different cultures as if they were the same, nothing says more "I don't give shit about this people"
also also
Hispanic people as a whole get treated by richer countries as if their countries and culture where inferior to them specifically because of the influence the spanish had on them; hell Spain itself has a history of being looked down upon by the other colonial powers (cause you know, serfdom is so much worse that enslavement and extermination, oh those brutish spaniards; yeah fuck right off England, France and scandinavians, Spain was awful but there are no words to describe the rest of you shitheads)
so yeah, going "aww they basically all the same"? not appreciated
and ultimately, if the brazilian members of the forum tell us that having their culture mix up with spanish cultue is fucked up, then having their culture mix up with spanish culture is fucked up
this thing?
fucked up
fucked
up
no seriously, how is Portugal represented in this game at all?
If you hate Ash's guts and DO want a smoking gun, however...The fact the specific mention of Ash-Greninja was removed is pretty damning. Things get even more interesting since there's recently been a lot of speculation about Ash finally being retired from the anime. This isn't necessarily a smoking gun (the Ash will leave cope has been going on for so long with zero results that I am incredibly skeptical of claims that it'll happen for real this time), but it certainly doesn't help his case.
Nah even more. I'm talking Gen 1 Hyper Beam mechanics, Gen 4 Magic Guard, Pre Nerf Burn, Pre nerf crits, pre nerf paralysis, Gen 4 Explosion, etc. all mixed in with modern buffs on mons.Gen 7 AG but with everything in gen 9?
Asked about it a few hours ago but I guess it got lost
Someone have good pics of the mons compiled somewhere? We're you can see the designs well?
And what's essentially the final chart before datamine hits.

He is just obviously keeping his current hat /copeIf you hate Ash's guts and DO want a smoking gun, however...
No cap? Seriously Bussin with this heat.If you hate Ash's guts and DO want a smoking gun, however...
movepools, new abilities (and who gets its) all look like made for a fangame I guessWhat do you mean by "competitive design?
go be annoying and mini-modding somewhere else broI've already updated my post, but no, it's not just 4chan speak. Again, this is the thread
despite it all, ash leaving is one of those "I'll only believe it when i see it". It feels weird to replace him now instead of last gen tooIf you hate Ash's guts and DO want a smoking gun, however...
Oh! That sounds like a fun pet-mod idea!Nah even more. I'm talking Gen 1 Hyper Beam mechanics, Gen 4 Magic Guard, Pre Nerf Burn, Pre nerf crits, pre nerf paralysis, Gen 4 Explosion, etc. all mixed in with modern buffs on mons.
I get it and I agree with the general sentiment of most of your posts but dude you seem needlessly angry and hostile about shit that really should be fun. It's stupid but we also knew exactly what he was talking about and to be fair Smogon forums are not very far from /vp/.calling any pokemon that looks small and vaguely humanoid loli is the definition of 4channer who calls everything waifu, loli, or the f-slur
Id say its the other way around honestly. Sp Atk Intim doesn't sounds too bad in singles but its absolutely metagame defining in VGC in the worst way possible - Intim already largely defined that Physical Attack mons got to see the light of day or not, having the same apply to special is horrible. Not to mention Physical moves tend to have higher BP than Specials too.I think a lot the things that are broken in singles this gen will be fine in doubles just because double targeting a Pokémon is so valuable in stopping a sweeper.
Definitely, though right now the "special intimidate" is limited to a specific "legendary" of which we don't exactly know much.Id say its the other way around honestly.

It's a huge TM list, though since they're one-use craftables, you can basically consider them all TRs.Are TRs returning or is it just this huge TM list?
It's a huge TM list. Why would TRs return when TMs are craftable and single-use?Are TRs returning or is it just this huge TM list?
To give more reasons for people to grind raids.It's a huge TM list. Why would TRs return when TMs are craftable and single-use?
Well that's the thing, you still kinda have to.To give more reasons for people to grind raids.
Asking you not to make a fuss over the word "loli" despite the fact that everyone in the thread knew which pokemon they were talking about is not being mini-modding, it was a simple request because nobody wants a multiple page argument over something that is not about the Scarlet and Violet leaks.go be annoying and mini-modding somewhere else bro
