I get that. Especially when you need a Fly user and most flying users are Flying Types. Gyarados sadly cannot learn Fly.

This thread idea came to my mind during a certain playthrough where I kept rejecting the use of a specific Pokemon for various reasons. These reasons are not because I have a vendeta against it. Usually in my first playthrough on a game I prefer using new generation Pokemon often avoiding using...

Sylvally's type being dictated by Z-moves would have been fine in my opinion. At least you could use the overpowered moves. And maybe buff its signature move to 120 base power. 90 is a little too weak for something with such mediocre stats.

I agree with Emboar. It might be my least favorite Starter. The worst part for me is, I get the feeling that Gamefreak purposely made the other two starters boring mono-types so Emboar looks more appealing. Also is that a Hoenn Pokemon? Slow "bulky" mixed attackers really smells like that. I...

Generally, I am found of the idea of this Pokemon. It suppose to be a mini Arceus. I did not expect Sylvally to be 'good' but I was not expecting it to be THIS underwhelming in terms of usefulness. I could rant about the unoriginal evolution from Type:Null (which is probably a better Pokemon...

Gen 4 added a lot of evolutions with half of them looking fat and goofy to me. In regards to Likylicky, I was not that upset until I saw the beta Licketung evolution design (which I refer as Licking because that sounds awesome). To me the final evolution downgraded the defining feature of that...

Just to add to some of the things I have written, with the starters they pretty much feel like the water type is the easy mode in most cases. RB: Squirtle learns all the important moves it needs at the right time - Water STAB destroys the 4x weak Rock/Ground types - Mega Punch TM helps out with...

For me the things that bothers me are regional variants themselves. They just take an existing Pokemon and make a similar looking one but usually just better instead of improving the original. The worst ones for me are ones from Galar again due to Gen 8 onwards being pretty much everything that...

Be it in-game or competitive, the Water-type has always been prominate in one way or another. Generally the things that make it good are obvious: 1. A lot of HM moves are Water moves 2. the Water Pokemon get access to good STAB relatively early 3. Ice coverage is on almost in the moveset of any...

I think I ranted about this or Zamazenta or whatever they called enough in the "Worst Pokemon" thread. They are the two Pokemon I put my dislike for anything Gen 8 and what it stands for. Pokemon have been removed from the game, content has been cut and many features that should be a given...

Ice-types really benefitted from the Gen 1 mechanics and Fire-types being awful. Freeze immunity was really huge. Offensively ice remained strong but the defensive properties became worse and Ice-types needed to be made in a different way to get better. A type I think unironically sucks is Bug...

Volcarona is my favorite Gen 2 Pokemon

Using Snivy in BW2... It might be the worst Starter to use in an ingame run. Offensive stats below 80 meaning you don't do much damage. It is a bulky Grass-type so you take Super Effective Damage from everything. It is a Grass-type so it deals half damage to almost everything. Coverage does not...

---> I don't know if I would say it is changed a lot for its performance but Togepi got a few new things that make it appealing. For one, the Donphan in the room, it can finally evolve. The bad news is, the evolution is post-game exclusive which is still vast enough to count as in-game...

I think the reason for that is also how these Pokemon can stand on their own. Both came to existence unrelated to each other with Ho-oh being created as the Pokemon advertising Generation 2 and generally representing the mystery of Pokemon according to the first Episode of Pokemon where you...

Seeing how Volt-Ikazuki's focused on type balancing by how Game Freak tried nerving Psychic types, I want to look from the other perspective that always intruiged me by looking how much the Fire-type improved over the years from becoming a joke of a time in RBY to almost a must have type on any...

So I finished my Pokemon SoulSilver run and tried out Pokemon I didn't try in these games. Here are results of those I did not expect much but did exceed my expectation: Generally I did not want to use Entei but after being stuck on the Kimono girls I felt like I needed something that can take...

Ingame playthroughts in gens 3 onwards really became a hard pill for me to swallow due to Natures because catching a Pokemon and seeing it has a certain nature can really affect my desire if I want to use it or not. It is often an inconvenients. But what is worse for me is using Nidoran line in...

---> I don't know how people feel about Blaziken in RSE but I think in the right hands it is a fantastic Pokemon thanks to the addition of its secondary Fighting Typing. Torchic-line did struggle but generally it did learn powerful moves for the time and being able to hit hard from both sides...

On the topic of starters, I would also put my viewpoint regarding them (on those whom I didn't talk about to far like Chikorita, Bulbasaur and Charmander). ---> Generally moveset wise I don't think Totodile got better nor worse. Special Ice Punch replaced by physical Ice Fang and I think you...
