What other parallels are there? Honestly curious

This is honestly a sobering point: There are many games even now people never even any%, much less 100% RPGs are extremely guilty of this, for as you said, due to predatory practice of guides Pokemon seems to have wanted to steer away from it since Gen 2, having guides more for extraneous...

I put it in quotes for a reason :V But yeah, it's aggressive due to knowing what you have mainly. Which incidentally can mean it IS predictable if you fully know what's going on Problem is rental moves/mons suck, and the 3 of 6 format randomizes mons chosen, so player variance compared to the...

The Stadium example is funnier cuz -Stadium's AI bluntly "cheats" compared to mainline. They will anticipate switches aggressively. Speedrunners legit need way more luck there than mainline if doing a Rental handicap run. Which can last over 20 hours -Stadium teams aren't mono

We need less monotype gyms after mid game I can understand keeping Rock-Paper-Scissor dynamics early game, but if the Rival can bother not being mono, official gyms should be too. Again, mid to late game

Ttar dropping doesn't surprise me. It since Gen 6 has been super rigid for playstyle in practice, despite large movepool options It got locked into weather setting since Gen 3, and despite the Sp Def buff in weather and bulk, but the slowspeed and quad weakness limits it long term. And that's...

Then you have the weird cases of mons working better in higher tiers, but sucking in lower tiers

Y'know, it gets me how with Pokemon comp, the meta back then wasn't so adapting to change Like it was only recently people realized Normal types weren't affected by Body Slam paralysis. Most of meta picks were set in stone for over a decade that point But then man. Now we have a lot of changes...

Errr.... I get phase shift is an entirely unrelated game mechanic that sadly many didn't like, but a shit ton of anims are based on Tekken

Azumarill Gen 9 literally having both abilities but no bulk: :psysad:

"Invasive species"

Forces everyone to do Stadium Rentals comp instead :sphearical:

Make it rainbow and machamp armed, and not catchable problem solved :psysly:

Finally, someone said XY Ash is overrated I remember catching the sub after feeling disappointed with BW and...man Between fan shipping discourse, Ash Greninja, and the whole losing to Alain, I found him flat as fuck. He was just competent, that's it. The scene of Serena getting mad at him in...

You know what, I agree with this I still love the TFS HGSS Nuzlocke and seeing them go from talking shit of Chikorita, to it being the most significant and adored team member. The fanart and skits/events for the other mons was way more interesting than the challenge itself Though then again by...
