As someone unfamiliar with lower tier Metas beyond a passing perusal, there are some comparisons I think are not being acknowledged here. The ZU Floatzel traits you listed do apply to Ogerpon-W, but I feel this summary leaves out some very relevant additional points to their respective...

Fatigue could be a factor, but it's also possible a lot of people were checking on Worlds or playing other stuff. I know Go is REALLY ramping up on content for August's Max Out Finale with Eternatus and preceding events, plus Go Battle Weekend for Worlds tie-in. All this to say a lot of Pokemon...

For my SV run both Main Game and Indigo Disk, I had three candidates to add, one of which is Breloom who I covered in a previous post, but I got two more thinking back on it since the thread popped up again. :sv/Gallade: Similar to Breloom, albeit just a regular encounter. What felt really...

My thing is why would disliking something like Ash losing the Kalos League lead to deleting the Ash-Greninja form from continuity? If anything wouldn't favoring the scenario of Ash winning that League make them biased to keeping the form that would have gotten the win around (or at least send it...

Do you have access to the Pokewalk and/or consider it realistic to use for in-game? Dodrio and Kangaskhan were some mons I used on my first HG run thanks to it and both were a lot of fun as Normals (plus Doduo early lets it flex its "mid-game bird" niche better than in Kanto). For Kangaskhan...

On top of the boring look, it bothers me immensely that Black Kyurem's shiny takes after Zekrom's, but White's doesn't take after Reshiram for parity. It feels like there's a big disconnect between if the shiny details are supposed to mix the two halves or just focus on Kyurem depending on which...

Did Blue Flare's accuracy cause headaches, given Fusion Flare is run over it on Reshiram? In all likelihood, I expect Chi-Yu to be the hardest of the bunch, both for its typing (Fire exploits random Sun harder AND has less immediate weaknesses like being burned or Ice to Steel/Fighting), and I...

Post-game brings another thing to mind for me: Chatot being the voice of reason and the knowledgeable one on raising Manaphy after you hatch its egg. In these cases, he does scold you for Manaphy getting sick and makes the arrangements for them to be raised by Walrein in a more appropriate Ocean...

No, they usually mean there is no dinner if anything. My hang-up with Chatot is that his behavior feels written specifically to make your experience as comically miserable as possible. Only tells you about the guild cut after you actually complete a job and get a reward; immediately trusts Team...

Ran into this one while doing onlines (was using a pretty basic Klefki support to idiot proof the Attackers like Iron Hands and Flash Cannon to chip) and it was definitely the best of the lot I saw. If Chien-Pao gets burned you're usually safe since Haze doesn't clear it and there's only one...

Disclaimer: This question is for a main-game reason but figure this crowd would know faster. Does Haze "target" anyone, such that it would be stopped by Good as Gold, or does it just blanket affect the field?

This point in particular makes me speculate about the likely-scrapped Convergent/Regional Gyarados who Toedscool/Cruel seem to point to replacing in SV. We've seen our share of variants that put a spin on the Pokemon's playstyle like Gapdos, and it'd be a neat way to go with that more "beam...

I would say speculating on Megas not to change significantly beyond known changes like Gen 8-9 non-transfer movesets on their base forms is pretty reasonable at the moment (Salamence kept Hyper Voice by TM, and Scale Shot for Chomp basically fixes Mega's main issue which was speed tiers), since...

To be fair I doubt you had a Thunder shooting lizard while his was unconscious which probably incentivizes honoring the wager.

When the battle system being different in some manner was one of the first features showcased, it stands to reason people would expect to see more details leading up to the release. If it's not that different as you suggest, then that's the marketing team's screw up for touting it as a major...

I'm pretty sure it's entirely gameplay related. Steel gained a new Resistance to a type Gamefreak wanted to make prominent (Fairy), so they took away other resistances to "even out" the playing field. They didn't think about it too hard considering it was a 2-for-1 trade that I'd almost argue...

The thing here is that even without the big-boy stat mons, the appeal of Ghost and Dragon isn't in hitting things super-effectively so much as so many things they DON'T have to watch for resistances. In competitive play, the ability to hit most of the game with just one STAB is incredibly...

The impression I got out of SV DLC there is that Carmine is 2-3 years older than Kieran and your MC falls either around his range or in-between the two (the outfits and mannerisms give off a younger air than the more overtly teenaged Unova MCs, so it's hard to judge sometimes). The Main school...

My counter argument is that broken stuff stops being fun when every team I play or use is one of 5 or so templates that functions with or against the OP element the game is based around. Getting rid of overcentralizingly broken elements and pure luck-sac elements IS cautioning on the side of...
