    What pokémon got affected most by changes in the remakes of their games?

    Incredible thread idea. The obvious suspects in RBY that lost their high crit rate, and one exception. I'll name names. Venusaur losing Razor Leaf as an incredible STAB option was a massive blow to its viability. Losing early Body Slam also crippled its coverage. Secret Power is nice, but the...

    That's the thing, there was no need to. I know people hate the chibi artstyle and all that, but that's how DP was back in the day. The one thing they should've done was copy Platinum's code instead of DP's and adjust version exclusives accordingly. That. Was. It. People were making mods to...

    And that's why he'll always be the inferior dancer.

    Miraidon starts sobbing uncontrollably at such a happy ending. Koraidon raises its paws and makes noises similar to "Cinema! Cinema!"

    I agree that he should've won in DP, then get packed up by the Elite 4 or Cynthia. There, no need to end his journey. The whole argument of "Ash must not win or we'll have to retire him" was stupid. I'm not even going to mention Alola, he got a ring in the Orange Islands! Now his book ended...

    :facepalm: And people ask me why I think CapGPT is a huge net negative for mankind.

    Maybe even Dawn, but realistically, this will end up more often as 1 Energy + Supporter. Either way, it is pretty nice. It synergizes well with Manaphy, for example. Any decks of these types that already use Dawn can use it.

    Rescue Scarf sounds pretty neat. Lyra will be absolutely cooked by Umbreon and Cyrus :totodiLUL: Silver is a prick lmao. I wish it used the effect before shuffling like Penny, but it's ok. Elemental Switch is big. Dawn for Fire, Lightning, and Water, but it's not a supporter. Probably the best...

    That is incorrect. So basically, hit reactions are tied to two things in Stadium 2. The attack itself. Some of them simply don't trigger the knockback animation. Period. A lot of stat-related moves are like this. The effectiveness. If it's not very effective, it won't trigger the knockback...

    I agree. It's very consistent with how Megas are generally designed. With that said, I hate most Mega designs. :psysly:

    They finally did it... Y'all wouldn't believe how long I've been advocating for early-level-up Leech Seed Chikorita. It's literally the missing piece in its in-game design. Not really? Flygon was always kind of popular because it looks cool and is a dragon people could actually get during the...

    Catching up, but let's be real here, besides the obvious "We got IVs and EVs on a slider now, and here's 4 extra points too" y'all really didn't notice that these are essentially the mint effects? They're not just yeeting the concept of Nature Mints away, they're integrating it into Champions...

    Pokemon that disappointed you in-game despite looking good initially?

    To be fair, if you have to do a horrendous amount of tedious busy work just to get a mon in viable shape, that's already a big souring point on enjoyability. Personally, I draw the line on grinding and low encounter rates. So for example, if I have to get, say Johto Natu, or low-level Gallade...
