(Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

Sad that Z-A seemingly hasn't given a buff to Pidgeot's movepool, specifically for Mega. I like what they did with Mega Pidgeot, taking a very mediocre mon that excels at nothing and randomly making it a fast strong special attacker with 100% accurate Hurricanes, but the fact that No Guard really only affects Hurricane on the mon makes it feel like a bit of wasted potential. Like it probably wouldn't make sense to give the most basic Route 1 bird moves like Thunder and Blizzard, but it really should get something else to make good use of No Guard with.

It's so weird to me that Pidgeot is one of the only "generic Special Attacking" mons they never gave access to a Focus Blast TM/TR. Flying/Fighting Coverage with 120 BP and no misses would be pretty solid, maybe throw in Uproar for Normal STAB even if not benefitting the ability.

Pidgeot already learns Uproar.

Yes, my point is using Focus Blast with the existing STAB since Fighting compliments Flying and Normal well

Can't figure out a better thread to put this so it's going here

It's fucked me up for a while that this state isn't actually called "Mother Beast Lusamine". Go to her Bulbapedia page right now, do the ctrl + f, you will find no media where she is actually referred to like that or with any unique name for that matter. Complete and utter fanon, some real fruit of the loom cornucopia shit

iirc the closest it comes is the file name for the battle theme being called MOTHER_BEAST
Because the lusamine battle theme is just called MOTHER internally so they needed to differentiate the two forms.

It might be because I’m playing on Switch Lite, but for a game (LZA) that relies so much on button-mashing I really wish the controls to switch Pokemon weren’t mapped to the sometimes-unresponsive D-pad.
