Unless I missed something there really was almost nothing shown. The graphics look like an improvement, although on a mainline console we could maybe expect better. The region looks kinda cool, but really almost nothing has been confirmed apart from maybe the return of gyms. The starters and...

From memory, I think around 75 you get 2 initial disruptions. And 95-99 you get 3. Neither of these is consistently a problem against a "4 SE base 70+ pokemon with Gengar" team, but you can get unlucky and have 5 or 6 blocks frozen on the top row, which can mean a loss if you don't combo-out...

Solosis comes in at 160, meaning that trying to reach 200 will be a significant investment in terms of time and coins. Having said that, if we don't get a competition after M-Blaziken, there won't be much else for me to do at that point...

I don't understand why your scenario even validates your point here... there is no reason that in your situation the greninja player couldn't choose to HP fire predicting the switch, and suddenly bp isn't doing enough because of the resist, not that greninja needs to stay in anyway. True, in...

After having caught a pikachu with a light ball (admittedly, only a 5% chance) I must say that it more than qualifies for C ranking under this condition. It's one of the best early-game pokemon before the really good stuff starts coming along (MEvos, Lucario, etc). I can understand that it is...

Just lol. The ignorance in that statement is outstanding. Let's say I have one counter or check to a huge threat. If Gengar forces a one-for-one on that counter on a double switch, then I lose. My opponent has forced a win-condition. "well you got outplayed if he got his gengar in" - it's hardly...

1. This isn't about Gengar being broken. This isn't OU. (Not that this statement doesn't not apply to anything with less than 100/100/100 defenses). 2. Ok, so getting 1 free turn is the challenge? For a ghost type with levitate, which is also fast and has access to substitute? ... Ironically, I...

You are on thin ground trying to argue this point. No legitimate move or ability ever breaks a game mechanic. I'll run with ignore/remove for arguments sake here. Priority completely ignores the speed stat, which is a mechanic. Pursuit ignores the priority given to switching out. Taunt removes...

This is the best part of your post, and also the most important part. It horrifies me that people are comparing Shadow Tag to evasion and confusion, and pushing for a ban just because of it. I don't necessarily agree with the rest though. Imo, MegaGengar is terrifying in a completely different...

I'd say it's very likely that the rate is 1/512 going by the data (and considering that would "make sense" in terms of how the calculation worked in previous generations).

This is bad luck, but you have to realise this is statistics. Say the chance of a shiny is 1 in 500 (which seems to be roughly correct) - this doesn't mean you're guaranteed a shiny if you do 500 eggs, or even 10,000. In your case, if it's binomial (1900,0.002) then it's a 3.1% chance you don't...

The anime helped him on his way. Clefairy was (supposed to be) the original mascot back in the pocket monsters manga, but I think fans preferred the MC's pikachu, so they went with that instead for the anime, then it stuck. You know, I was fairly sure that they would keep customisation just...

To be honest with this thread, just like previous gens', it is abundantly clear which users should be credited with really innovating and theorymoning various strategies and I'm sure everyone else is thankful for that anyway. It would be nice to see users give credit to the original strategist...

Sorry, should have made it clearer that I was referring to the RSE in-game dex which has kingdra at around #180 iirc. But I think Lopunny is still a nod towards this dex being expanded in ORAS.

There are 7 dragon pokemon in the Hoenn dex iirc, and (assuming lati@sites come out in ORAS) 4 of them have MEvos (and "mega" rayquaza doesn't look too unlikely, neither would Mega Kindra be too surprising). RIP in peace sweet prince (flygon). Aside from that, I quite like the new designs. I...
