in if I haven't missed the deadline

Porygon's laggy "walking" animation in Let's Go is genuinely hilarious. I first saw it on a Youtube video and genuinely though my internet was struggling for a couple of seconds, before I got the joke...

I like it :)

Also, I think it's dumb to have different moves called Food Frenzy and Feeding Frenzy (tbh Feeding Frenzy was the phrase I was looking for too, but I temporarily forgot English). I'm suggesting Overcook as an alternative name for Food Frenzy (as the move is an analogue of Overheat).

Also I'm in firm agreement with Martin about the amount of luck being just right from a PvP perspective. In the long run it evens itself out; in individual games it keeps interest alive towards the end, when a lucky break could turn around what looks like a foregone conclusion.

But not before dozens of low-ladder scrubs had flooded the suspect test thread to argue "It's balanced because you can use it too!"

I'm sorry, "Bloom Doom" is brilliant.

AquaticPanic fully committing to the food-related puns there. Name: Chargrill Category: Special BP: 80 Accuracy: 100% PP: 15 (max 24) Effect: 30% chance of inflicting burn; this move thaws both a frozen target and a frozen user. Name: Spicy Sauce Category: Status BP: N/A Accuracy: N/A PP: 15...

This. But I kind of see where Nintendo are going with this. Why wouldn't you want the hundreds of millions of Pokemon Go players to buy a Switch? If you see it as primarily a business enterprise rather than an artistic endeavour, it makes an awful lot more sense.

Pokemon re-types: Munchlax/Snorlax -> Food, Gulpin/Swalot -> Poison/Food, Cherrim/Cherunbi -> Grass/Food, Vanillish/Vanillite/Vaniluxe -> Ice/Food, Spritzee/Swirlix -> Food, Tropius -> Grass/Food, Guzzlord -> Dark/Food (all NintalesDragon) Happiny/Chansey/Blissey -> Heart/Food...

Just as significantly, this ability as described also has a Serene Grace-style effect, greatly increasing the chances of secondary effects triggering. Whether or not this makes it over-the-top kind of depends on what Food-type moves we end up getting - any moves like Scald or Iron Head, with a...

Spitballing some food-related abilities here, trying not to copy abilities other have already suggested: Food Coma: this Pokemon heals 1/16 HP per turn whilst asleep. Draining Jaw: all biting attacks used by this Pokemon heal 50% of damage dealt. Forager: when this Pokemon uses a contact move...

I feel like Zoroark is a little overrated, if I'm honest. Illusion is better on paper than it is in practice, since quite often there will be little things that give away the Pokemon's true identity. Borrowing from the above example, an attempt to disguise a Zoroark as a Salazzle will come...

Are you primarily a stall player by any chance? I think this underlines part of the problem. RU has shifted in a pretty bulky direction over the last month or two. But, almost without people realising it, this is largely because Sharpedo forces you to run bulk because offense cannot deal with...
