Yeh that's what I was pointing out. If a Pokemon is powerful enough (between the setter move and combination of other factors) to actually justify using it in 4v4 to set hazards specifically, chances are it's going to break all other game modes because that means you're getting to set hazards...

That's correct, but I wouldn't call it "a lot". It sees some use, but it's not that common and only really in the lower power formats (tends to disappear as soon as the expanded dex happens) The Toxic Debris is a bonus (incidentally, it's also the least relevant Hazard, Amoongus being as common...

I have the suspect they've been trying (unsuccessfully) to actually get hazards to be relevant in VGC for a couple gens at this point. Both gen 8 and 9 saw a massive distribution of hazards to pokemon that didn't have them before, as well as multiple moves (and abilities) introduced that set...

Simple ZA question of which I probably already know the answer (it's no) but I rather check if I missed something. Is there any way to obtain the Greninjite on a (physical) game that is on a Switch with no NSO?

Considering in italian it'd have been "Levitazione", uuuh yeh I don't see that remotely translable in names :wo:

I'd say this is incorrect. This is how "veteran players" play the game. Most "normal" players usually play on a whim, and will easily replace someone in the team if they find a Pokemon they like more. Expecially kids but also people who play the game blind in general. How exactly are you meant...

That is unpopular how exactly? Has to be one of the most common opinions around...

Well that is kinda how streamers work. They build a persona and commit to it, because that's what their audience expects from them and if they have a significant income off their content, they can't afford to deviate from it. If you have built your online persona about how "RBY were the best...

I liked most of your post, it's a interesting way to put things and agreeable. But i'll honestly say ...all your post was basically confirming what I said, that within the confines of a turn based RPG, you can't design a hard game. You have to tap into other genres. And I really like your...

I do, but honestly it's just cause I've played so many turn based games by this point that they're all... bland. All of them can be broken in same way, be it grind or just check boss strats beforehand. Doesn't matter if it's Pokemon, Atlus, Final Fantasy, Octopath, Yakuza, Trails, ... max...

Depends. For some it is, but the game has difficulty settings, and it's extremely punishing at max difficulty while being "welp i have to heal next turn" on normal one, so it's less frustrating than it sounds on paper. And I agree. I just struggle to see a way to make turn based games...

Ok, let me phrase that one thought better there. I do agree that pokemon games are ridicolously easy, don't get me wrong. But the kind of "hard" you see people expect when they talk about "nuzlocke difficulty" is not something I consider hard. You can make it a bit more challenging than "mash...

Remind me why exactly do you find interesting to add to an easy game a artificial difficulty of "I need to read the movesets on bulbapedia beforehand and then still faceroll it because the combat system is flawed" again? It's turn based games. You can't make them hard. You can just increase the...

Shows how much of a cultural difference there is i guess. I've seen similar differences in other games for char popularity with wide difference between asian and western audience results so it doesn't surprise me, but it's always interesting to see those comparisons.

So he is going all over the city beating the shit out of the people who REALLY want to show you how good the move Protect and how you can Win With Only Status Moves? I see how he got the tickets to rank A so fast...
