I genuinely feel like the creators of these games are totally oblivious to what fans want. Pokemon has ALWAYS been a series that has suffered from poor QoL choices and mechanic implementations. The IV/EV system, Hidden Power, antiquated mechanics, single-use TM's, HM's, etc. have always felt...

Disagreed on Cress. Cress is a decent Trick-Scarfer in tandem with its version of Healing Wish. It's a good lure and a essentially a bulkier version of Healing Wish Latias.

Thank you

What is the de facto SubDD Kyurem set/spread?

Have they shown any evidence of being able to customize the pokeballs that pokemon are already caught in?

How do you think BDSP are going to handle Unknown and Hidden Power? Will HP ever return as we knew it?

I noticed something unusual today when attempting a method K RNG in HGSS for stationary legends. I booted up RNG reporter to re-attempt an RNG from the night prior that I was unable to catch before Moltres struggled. The time finder window indicated this particular seed of 820F082E had a...

If you're RNG'ing Entei/Raikou in HGSS can you RNG them the first time you beat the E4? Or does it have to be the round 2 rematches?

+ AgiliGross + Koko Screens So, I really like using unconventional wincons, and I also really like using Screens HO. I decided to try Weakness Policy Agiligross expecting a total meme but instead I got a surprisingly potent and unexpected chad. You set up screens and rocks, and after a little...

Are there any clear advantages to Roost > Recover OR Recover > Roost on Lati@s?

I absolutely think Dragapult is top tier, but not broken at all. One of the trickiest things about Pult right now is figuring out which set its running. It used to be you could safely assume specs 70% of the time but now DD and Sub sets are becoming more and more common. While this has...

Team Balanced squad based around SD Blaziken w/Protective Pads and Specs Gar. This team is big pivot to keep momentum and constantly establish favorable matchups. This team struggles with Volc. When I see it in preview I know I need to play smart and not lock myself into Rilla or something like...

Hi I'm trying to Stationary RNG the Uxie outside of the museum in Black 2. It's very frustrating, becasue I think the NPC's are messing with the starting frame. Does anyone know off the top of their heads how many frames the NPCs affect the starting PIDRNG frame?
