The sad thing is they won't fix the mass unbalancing issues cuz a lot gear toward enabling hyper offense play. Even defensive mons like Archaludon have a literal nuke move that further exasperates those that despise weather wars VGC is a blitzed hyper offense game this point, cuz it's the most...

Showdown looking the way it is unfortunately is a large reason people are preferring Champions despite building a team still being annoying Unfortunately Showdown needs to be minimal for graphics design to run ok on crappy networks <- like this guy's Though the ability to play past metas is...

Clearly we need them to endorse Rotation battles :psysly:

This is why for the Meta for none weather mons, I'm kinda glad it's Mega Aero being up there Mega Zard Y is kinda similar even with oppressive weather teams. Both having an easily exploitable 4x weakness helps keep them in check for VGC/Doubles. Especially since Mega Aero itself is an answer to...

Let Aero have his crown Also I'd argue that Archaludon is more annoying to deal with <- his team has fucking Skeledirge be the only one that can "handle" it

Ah right true, keep forgetting it didn't just lose the Dark resist ...Though that makes Stab Shadow Ball a worse option than I said :V

Just focusing on the Gen 3 Competitive context as it's its most splashable, the typical OU Psychics weak to Shadow Ball are; -Celebi -Alakazam (barely) -Medicham -Jirachi -Metagross There's already an issue. Jirachi, Celebi, and Metagross especially all have 100+ base Def. It is genuinely...

Nothing really prevents you from using a modified Toolbox Gengar nowadays though to replicate awkwardness Can't use STAB Physical Shadow Ball? Just use equally STAB and BP Poison Jab Can't use Special Ice Punch? Just use Special Giga Drain Tbolt was always a thing so no change. Explosion even...

Gary before hair dye Maybe Trace?

Honestly for Gengar and Dnite it's just cuz they had beefy stats (and Ability for Gengar to ignore EQ). Give them the middling Gen 3 stat special, neither would be as memorable competitively Especially Gengar, Haunter already was cracked with 115 special 95 speed in Gen 1! At that point the...

I prefer Hoenn over the other Gen 1-4 regions, but it did sadly exemplify an issue of GF being behind graphical and mechanics standard compared to other RPGs. 4 locked directions still, 24/7 clock that on OG GBA isn't visually noticeable AND not properly accounting nat dex trade is bad. The...

Imma still slander the plastic surgery addicted dog

Still mad Psyduck was replaced by that dog...

TRUE

I feel like the first 3 gyms should be monotyped, then it should break that and be more diversified after, with the E4 or equiv returning to hyper tailored monotypes, then the Champion is diverse
