Generally I don't use any Poison types in my in-game run. There were few exceptions like me running Ekans because I liked the anime and Wrap spam or using that weird Shadow Move in XD to half HP so Pokemon are easier to catch. Of all the Poison types I think I have never used Seviper in...

Here are things that annoy me about Pokemon Legends ZA This may be something others disagree but I am not a fan of Johto Starters getting Megas with secondary Typing. I am not against them having Megas but they were the first set of starters with the theming of Mono-Type. So I prefered them to...

Not to mention, as generations come out, older gen Pokemon tend to get easier to obtain. Even Gyarados is far more accessable as generations go on and it does so much for your team: Beats most the game, learn a bunch of moves, does work well as HM slave, washes your dishes etc. Compare that to...

I get that. Especially when you need a Fly user and most flying users are Flying Types. Gyarados sadly cannot learn Fly.

This thread idea came to my mind during a certain playthrough where I kept rejecting the use of a specific Pokemon for various reasons. These reasons are not because I have a vendeta against it. Usually in my first playthrough on a game I prefer using new generation Pokemon often avoiding using...

Sylvally's type being dictated by Z-moves would have been fine in my opinion. At least you could use the overpowered moves. And maybe buff its signature move to 120 base power. 90 is a little too weak for something with such mediocre stats.

I agree with Emboar. It might be my least favorite Starter. The worst part for me is, I get the feeling that Gamefreak purposely made the other two starters boring mono-types so Emboar looks more appealing. Also is that a Hoenn Pokemon? Slow "bulky" mixed attackers really smells like that. I...

Generally, I am found of the idea of this Pokemon. It suppose to be a mini Arceus. I did not expect Sylvally to be 'good' but I was not expecting it to be THIS underwhelming in terms of usefulness. I could rant about the unoriginal evolution from Type:Null (which is probably a better Pokemon...

Gen 4 added a lot of evolutions with half of them looking fat and goofy to me. In regards to Likylicky, I was not that upset until I saw the beta Licketung evolution design (which I refer as Licking because that sounds awesome). To me the final evolution downgraded the defining feature of that...

Just to add to some of the things I have written, with the starters they pretty much feel like the water type is the easy mode in most cases. RB: Squirtle learns all the important moves it needs at the right time - Water STAB destroys the 4x weak Rock/Ground types - Mega Punch TM helps out with...

For me the things that bothers me are regional variants themselves. They just take an existing Pokemon and make a similar looking one but usually just better instead of improving the original. The worst ones for me are ones from Galar again due to Gen 8 onwards being pretty much everything that...

Be it in-game or competitive, the Water-type has always been prominate in one way or another. Generally the things that make it good are obvious: 1. A lot of HM moves are Water moves 2. the Water Pokemon get access to good STAB relatively early 3. Ice coverage is on almost in the moveset of any...

I think I ranted about this or Zamazenta or whatever they called enough in the "Worst Pokemon" thread. They are the two Pokemon I put my dislike for anything Gen 8 and what it stands for. Pokemon have been removed from the game, content has been cut and many features that should be a given...

Ice-types really benefitted from the Gen 1 mechanics and Fire-types being awful. Freeze immunity was really huge. Offensively ice remained strong but the defensive properties became worse and Ice-types needed to be made in a different way to get better. A type I think unironically sucks is Bug...

Volcarona is my favorite Gen 2 Pokemon
