Probably not gonna be the case for a good long will I feel. Singles vs doubles are two very different metas and have their own strengths and weaknesses for archetypes and moves. Easiest way they could do it is to make a Mon that’s doubles focused with Toxic debris or an equivalent. Or give...

That’s the biggest problem, you use 3D models and you have to make use of that model and not just stand there doing nothing. It’s why people hated Typhlosions 3D model vs its sprites. It’s way more boring without stuff like its fire

Genuinely I wish they took the time to have Hyperspace Lumious be used to show off the other parts of Kalos we couldn’t reach. Like having the desert Route 13 and the power plant, or the snow covered Route 17, or even have the Volcanion fight take place in a Hyperspace version of Southern Kalos...

Chances are, a lot of the people who want the battle frontier likely did play it. If they didn’t, then odds are they either didn’t care for it to begin with because it’s not what it appeals to them, or weren’t the kind of person who would be in subreddits and forums like this. Only a fraction of...

I swear so many non-poketubers who have played the dlc just go ‘uuuuugh, for real I have to grind how much this time?’ And I don’t blame them, it’s just farming the same thing they probably did in the basegame again just to do the story, but now there’s even more of it. Meanwhile stuff like the...

Something I’ve found when I’m playing is the one of two things happens with the level curve: 1) I stick to a team of six Mons I like and wanna use, and end up overleveled if I don’t avoid most fights. If I fought optional trainers in SV I’d be over leveled instead of just a hair on par. 2) I...

I wonder if the idea is twofold: Why use Sleep Powder when Spore exists already, it’s functionally the same attack just with a difference in accuracy. To the devs it might just be something too redundant unlike say the differences between Tackle vs Double-Edge which has more going on then just...

I’d vouch for Drapion at the least for having a strong type combo, especially in BDSP where it’s Dark type moves are now super effective against all the Bronzors you’ll be fighting. But I do agree, Poison types have kind of been a secondary bonus for most players and not the primary reason you...

In addition, genning a team vs spending the time to manually build a team 99.99% of the time doesn’t end up with a greater advantage outside of the time testing the Mon out. So in the end, it doesn’t really matter for so many people, you put them side by side and nobody would be able to tell the...

To add onto the difficulty discussion, they should definitely also force a limit on item usage in someway. Like on Normal mode you get to use 5 items against a gym leader/champion meanwhile on Hard you get 2-3. Or heck, add in ZAs item cooldown mechanic so you can’t just spam revives and potions...

Huh. Til Chansey can use earthquake. Alright Gamefreak where’s the earthquake causing Horse

I’m guessing it’s because gamefreak doesn’t see Rapidash as a Pokemon physically strong enough to cause an earthquake, mythological reference be darned. Plus, it does have High Horsepower, which does the job just as well. Maybe if they made a Hippocampus Mon then maybe it would get it? (Also...

Taking a look at Blaze Kicks Bulbapedia page, even the trivia section is surprised at this. Despite them being physically offensive Fire types that can naturally learn other kicking moves, Flareon and the Ponyta line cannot learn Blaze Kick. Heck the movepool for Blaze Kick users is just...

Plus, it’s got an absolutely cracked movepool, this things out here learning Fire, Grass, Flying, Dark, Water, Rock, Dragon, Bug, Steel, Poison and Psychic type moves, all with pretty good BP. The only thing it’s missing are Ghost, Fairy, Ground and Ice type moves. There are Normal types that...

I’m reminded of Chugga’s old BW LP years back and just how absolutely bad Haywire the Zebstrika was. Got to the point where people were begging him to just ditch her for Zekrom, and in hindsight even he admitted he didn’t like the Mon at all. It’s just a combination of bad stats, bad type/stat...
