I do not think they care about representing the on-cart format, though. In this Miracle Situation where for some reason they're representing older formats*, I think they would probably either err to Stadium or just otherwise revert key mechanics. So wouldn't do: KOs with Hyper Beam don't let...

Stuff like MMOs and Xenoblade have basic auto attacks to do between move cooldowns so you're still making progress on the battle while waiting to maintaining your timers I assume that's what they want, since the downtime might force everything to drag, and not "I want the game to play itself"

I don't think the others don't really need those gaps filled at all. Otherwise they probably would have done so in the transition from megas to no megas, especially since they probably don't see the moves in question as core to the mega's identity. Even Power Up Punch has the extra caveat that...

Hotlinking bulbapedia is always a crap shoot on if it'll work, and if it does work, if it actually works or is just working on your end because of caching.

Incidentally I enjoyed that last year's worlds where you could put together a bracket had a "pick a legendary pokemon!" and had all the paradoxes under there. charizard bias? nay, Lucario bias

I was originally going to write off the "we're just going to ignore this" as basically joke by the probably lacking full overhead article writer for an international website, but honestly I wonder if that's the actual internal logic that they follow which is also why Togepi, Riolu & Toxel get...

Dudunsparce is an unironically great design. Full of joy and love. I wasn't sure what I wanted out of the design, but a lot of fan designs never appealed to me. But this one did.

I keep seeing this specific talking point crop up in conversation, in videos, in dubious leaks: The idea that now that Champions is here, the main games can cast aside PVP and finally become nebulously Good. The shackles are gone baby, those problems will get fixed in no time, now they can pour...

I'm guessing Dragonite lead the charge because it's Dragonite. People like Dragonite and it is immediately recognizable and it's strong and is one of those Pokemon who hasn't gotten anything (visually). You look at it and immediately get to remember what megas are all about instead of taking the...

it was because we had a dex entry that said its mud was as hard as iron, but no type data. bonus points for centro, as always, stating this fan theory with full confidence as fact

More seriously I'm unsure how much we should really pay attention to the description of "melting steel". It is a particular phrasing, but these kind of descriptions tend to exaggerate especially for megas and sometimes it's more general purpose rather than mechanical. Especially since it pairs...

I hope megas go on hiatus after gen 10 again so I can see the same conversations emerge in another 10 years.

So Korea put the trailer out early. Surprise! Hopefully this time people don't use chat gpt to translate them :T

Since I had to grab the Chien-pao (& the Worlds Farigiraf) anyway I took my Arceus into the raid 3 Ogerpons beat Ting-Lu to death with hammers while i just set up a reflect and some health cheers.

I think the context of the buff is pretty different. HP-based calculations had to be altered for dynamax to accommodate the huge swing, but this would be a much more specific buff and one that would likely be significantly smaller. And of course Dynamax has a lot of other things going on but...

I think Megas not getting HP buffs was probably less a "this defines megas" situation and more just a design quirk of changable forms. There's a lot of different swappable form changes up through gen 6 but iirc none of them changed HP, even the ones that aren't mid-battle changes. Kyurem...

Well bummer about Oricorio, though I do wonder if there might be more stuff like Pokemon Center Lady and Comfey that'll block/remove statuses. Guess we'll see how it all shakes out. New set leaking through the upload history going out early is very funny.

Probably a dumb question, since I haven't reviewed all the footage before now and it's just front & center now, but is this the first time we've seen Vivillon in footage? i was wondering what the pattern situation would be. Will it stick with Meadow worldwide since its france or just showing it...

Everyone, foolish, seeing steel melting acid: corrosion or maybe even super corrosion! me, enlightened: supersweet syrup to lower evasion, increasing gunk shot's accuracy

christ how horrifying
