Could be. If we use the Momotaro archetypes, the Three Heroes are the Pheasant, the Dog, and the Money, with Ogerpon as the Ogre Villain. That still leaves Momotaro, the Peach Boy and main character in the story, a role which I suspect is being played by... Ogerpon again. The back of its head...

Hero Trio: I'm guessing they'll be part Poison. I say this because of the rope accessories that they're each wearing. Not only are they purple, the larger hoops on the rope ends also look somewhat like one eyed skulls, which are telltale signs of the Poison type. Would be really cool to have a...

Dark was also weak to itself in the Beta. Really putting the "rough" in "rough draft".

Good! I'm not alone in this! Kanto is fun to play when you have all the brokenness available to you. Without it, a lot of the mons become really, reeeally bad to use. Sandshrew sucks without Auto-Crit Slash. Beedrill sucks without Poison-killing Twineedle. Ekans sucks without Glare>Wrap, and...

Does anyone else not like romhacks that much? They're either "kitchen sink" games with everything from older games or "challenge games" where rocket tag syndrome is at its worst.

Precisely. Fortnite is to shooters like... Pokemon is to JRPGs. Also I'm convinced Arkm doesn't understand what a straw man is let alone the proper fundamentals of debating. They have earned my ever so rarely used spot in my ignore list.

Well now that we're on the subject and in the proper thread for it, Nuzlocke isn't a good playstyle. The games aren't designed well around them, and I don't know why people enjoy so much throwing 12 hours of game time down the sink so readily.

On the topic of Nuzlockes: There could be an agenda to curb out Nuzlockes because most of the popular ones are old games no longer in the market. Or it's possible that those two people that suggested the Nuzlockes talked to the least competent individual in TPCi. And you say I lack attention span.

Piloswine is called Inomuu in Japanese. Inoshishi means boar, so Piloswine has always been a boar. Cyndaquil is called "hinoarashi" in Japanese, which is close to "fire porcupine". Porcupine are rodents and thus related to rats. It's categorized as "hinezumi" in Japanese, or "Fire rat". For...

Because a basic principle of good game design is you want to promote mechanics that reach an end game and less mechanics that do the opposite. That doesn't mean Stalls and Walls can't exist, but too much of that leads to sluggish gameplay. And I'm sure there are sadists that love their endless...

I've already talked about my disinterest of changing the type chart to balance weaker type, but of all of the more popular proposed changes, I believe Ice has no business resisting Water. I'm not talking flavorfully, because you could bend the type chart in all sorts of ways if you use real life...

RBY: Agreed with Dig. It's basically Earthquake before the second gym GSC: Also agreed with Elemental Punches. RSE: Bulk Up/Calm Mind. Near necessary for the Pokemon league. Yawn is a good runner up. FRLG: Brick Break. Good early-mid game move that's also buyable in Celadon City. DPPt: Can't...

Time to rustle some jimmies. Balancing the Type Chart would be boring. I like that there are some underdog types like Bug and Ice as well as lording types like Fairy and Steel. That doesn't mean I wouldn't mind a bit of change here and there (I would love for Steel to take x0.5 dmg from Poison...

My favorite mon of all time is Nidoking. My earliest memories of playing Pokemon Red was stomping the entire Kanto region with a Thrashing Nidoking. Years later after having not touched a Pokemon game in decades, I watch a Gen 1 speedrun for the fun of it, and what's the first thing I see? A...

I still groan at Trubbish and Garbodor's design. However, I do enjoy playing with them for playthroughs. They taught me how absolutely powerful the move Acid Spray really is.
