I do prefer Gen VI Exp. Share over the older model, but that's simply because the older model cut Exp earned in half and gave one half to the battler, and a half to the holder. That, I don't like - 'wasting' Exp; I prefer getting full Exp on one 'mon than 0.5 on two. This is also why so many...

Thank you.

I dislike the AI's usage of Roar (and Whirlwind, but more commonly Roar) in the main game, as I prefer to level each of my 4 main 'mons separately - getting Roared means that a second 'mon is going to gain experience, when I don't want them to (don't want to be overlevelled and completely...

So you suggest a Durant/Cloyster/Drapion team? I'm guessing you're using the sets from the 'Mastering the Maison' articles, but that doesn't include a set for Cloyster. Altissimo, what set is your Cloyster running? Focus Sash with Shell Smash/Icicle Spear/Rock Blast/Razor Shell? White Herb? Most...

Good ideas, but sometimes it's good to have pre-planned teams and stuff (which is how I always play Pokémon games; I take a look at the 'mons available, and pick 4 that I want to use. Though, with the advent of PokéGen and PKHeX, I can use whatever 'mons I want whenever I want, to make it more...

Funny thing - I found a TextEdit document while searching my Mac, and it contains one of ORAS's biggest flaws - the strength of the last Gym Leader, Wallace. I'll copy+paste it here: Gym Leader Wallace in Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire is not deserving of being a Gym Leader. Most of his...

I checked, and it is mentioned in the 'Warnings' article, under "Multiple Posting/Flooding", so it is written down. However, how many people actually click on the Warnings link down the bottom? Especially since it's not exactly mentioned as 'required reading' but optional information. I...

I agree; I even point out that Matt/Courtney battles alongside a singular Grunt. Why not, I dunno, ramp it up by adding 3 more Grunts, like a villainous mob would (most likely) do in real life? In DPP, two Galactic Commanders team up against the player, and they had multiple Pokémon. Why not...

Something else I just remembered (or rather, encountered in-game): Horde Battles are hilariously pathetic; the Pokémon involved are always stupidly underleveled for the point in the game when they appear. The Pokémon involved should be much stronger, and that's particularly so for the ~2 Team...

I realise that, Caramel, but...eh, I've been like that for years, and it's difficult to get past old habits/thoughts. Just look at the old creationist vs. evolution debate - people still can't get over that. Or the debacle over heliocentric and geocentric solar system models - people didn't get...

...Admittedly, yes. I do think females should be supporters, following the mould the series has stuck to until this point. And yes, I do think gender roles were better, because males and females are so different - why act as if they are the exact same, when they're not? All we get for the...

I purchase both versions, as one will be my 'main' (that never gets deleted and contains my achievements in dex completion and Battle facility certificates/streaks), and the other will be my 'playthrough' copy (that will get deleted so I can replay the game using different teams).

True, so true. Though I'm not offended by it, just saying some people may be. So...uh...how are the streaks going? Not to be 'that guy', but...

At least it's still Super Effective, so it's not as bad as other examples. Still odd though. My thing? I went against Chatelaine Nita (Super Single version), and she led with her Scarf Landorus against my Aegislash. She, predictably, locked herself into Earth Power, so I switched into my...

The gender separation in Meowstic. How come the female is the offensive one, and the male is the supporter? Nidoqueen was bulkier but weaker than Nidoking, same with Latias and Latios, Miltank and Tauros, Braviary and Mandibuzz. So odd, and I hate it. Total load of bull. Also, why does the...

Odd, but interesting. Should be changed, though, to avoid potentially insulting people - people who might not realise that it's a long-running joke. Anyway, that's my two cents about it.

Weakened moves: thanks for that; now I have some idea as to why they did that, though it's still freaking stupid. The unbalanced power of Precipice Blades vs Origin Pulse is a bit odd, yes, but I do agree with your last sentence there - if Game Freak doesn't restore special moves to their...

The fact that Game Freak had the nerve to weaken various moves, for no apparent reason; the worst is Aura Sphere, which dropped 10 Base Power points (90 to 80), and which screwed users of it (90 BP with --- Accuracy is far superior to 120 BP with 70% Accuracy; 80 BP with --- Accuracy just loses...

Huh; in that case, it makes sense (though it obviously means Aegislash utterly walls the thing in Singles, which is an unfortunate consequence of not having separate lists for the different Battle styles). As for my (pathetic so far) streak, managed to sweep Nita easily; Lando locked himself...
