The problem is that machamp can't learn Bullet Punch naturally (except for Legends Arceus, where it can also learn Mach Punch). It can only get it via breeding.

Here are some example of move oddities: Machamp - Can punch 1000 times in 2 seconds, however it cannot learn Mach Punch or Close Combat naturally. It can learn Bullet Punch. Heracross - Can lift 100 times its own weight, but cannot learn Seismic Toss. However, it's counterpart Pinsir can...

Things come to mind when it comes to annoyances: The lack of reusable TMs in Gens 1-4 discourages team experimentation, since you feel pressured to save TMs for long-term team members. This makes it inconvenient to try new Pokémon, given you're limited to six, including an HM slave. While I...

The consistent depiction of the Pokémon MC as a child is increasingly frustrating. While the intended experience is for players like in Gen 1 to explore the Pokémon world, this approach can feel limiting and repetitive. The MC being a kid only matters when rivals are also children. If the MC...

I never felt excited about catching Legendary Pokémon, and the main reason is the lack of connection with them. Sure, you can understand them based on their dialogue from other characters, diaries, and lore, but you never feel like you truly get to know the Pokémon on a personal level. Plus, all...

I think about how Krookodile came to be my favourite Pokémon, and I think I know how. I remember trading in my Sonic Generations 3DS for Pokepark 2: Wonders Beyond, where it was my first experience with Pokémon. Even tho I didn't understand type matchups, I had a blast with the game, roaming...

One thing that annoyed me was how TMs are supposed to work in the anime and games. Not how to, but like the process of it. Thing with TMs are that it's a disc, but how are trainers supposed to teach a pokemon with it? It's not like a Pokemon has a visible disc tray that they enter the disc in...

That is something I haven't considered. If the opponent's pokemon don't have a great moveset, then in theory it shouldn't be a problem to take them down. That being said, I do think we should assume it's from a perspective of a player who's playing blindly for the first time, not one who would...

I think there aren't many good Johto pokemon to use in the game. Aside from the starters, the only useful Johto pokemon would be: Ampharos - a solid electric mon Furret - HM slave Quagsire - Unique typing in water/ground that will wall electric types Ursaring - Solid attack of 130 Granbull - A...

For GSC and to an extent HGSS, whilst I do appreciate that Steel and Dark types were introduced to counteract the Psychic dominance, I do think the games implemented them poorly when it comes to introducing these types. For one there aren't many dark and steel types that you can catch in Johto...

I think the main problem with knock off is that it's the only physical STAB dark move that most dark-type Pokémon can learn, because there are not many alternatives. There's the move crunch with 80 BP, which can be learned by only a few Pokémon, including Ttar, Krookodile, Drapion, Sharpedo...

Ok, wow I've just taken a look at the last time I posted this, and I felt cringe looking at it. Probably the biggest cringe I have ever felt. Not only have they aged like milk, but the way I have conveyed them is really terrible. Like for Point 3, I know I didn't like Cynthia that much, but not...

Here are some of my unpopular opinions: The main reason Ghetsis is popular is largely due to his reputation as a bad father rather than for being a manipulative mastermind of Team Plasma. The reason is that it can be an IRL situation that people can relate to, as opposed to kidnapping Pokémon...

Lost to Rail 1-2

1-2 ratio for me:
