must say i like these two ideas better than my own, specially johto as a) i didn't really come up with much for it, b) "flying-type champion" is preposterous shade that i wish i had come up with

SM had more zygarde than USUM because of the cores and cells actually! also the altars and the inside of mount lanakila feel very ground-y

oh that's a good association too! i also considered dark because it really stayed with me that a plurality of the alolan forms are dark-type, but ground ultimately felt the best. it and johto were the hardest regions to assign a type by far

i have been lurking this board for longer than some of y'all have... been alive i think? and i just wanted to say that this thread even existing when i was a gay 16yo wanting to find out why people liked skarmory and blissey so much would be almost unthinkable. this thread makes me happy and i...

kanto - in gen 1? psychic. yes, poison as the most common, etc, but the overarching impression is that psychic is the strongest type, the type of the big legendary, etc. by the remakes i would agree it's poison though johto - for a region that introduced two types this one feels tough to...

"with this new type, we aim to balance some types that might be too strong such as dragon, fighting, dark... and most of all, BUG. bugs have had it way too easy for way too long." also justice for ILCA they had basically everything going against them in BDSP

i think cloyster is exactly why they weren't thinking too much about it. they wanted its defense to be HUGE and just didn't made its attacking stats junk like they did onix. that happened to put him at 480 and still not even be busted. saddling cloyster with 45 spdef in gen 2 despite not being a...

i think the birds not even having the same BST shows they weren't thinkibg that deeply about it then and to a lesser extent still don't today...

WOW. i always loved the latis but they did always feel like the first "legendary just because...?" moment. to realise what they reference is both coherent with the hoenn lore and also a pretty simple reference that somehow escaped the fandom for two decades is amazing.

i don't think any of the leaks will even amount to anything other than "haha did you know that" stuff in a few weeks, let alone anything big enough to impact any of these mons marketability (not that any of them are big players on media anyway). it's not official, so it doesn't actually matter...

as a more direct, not shoehorned in idea, i actually 100% agree - i feel manaphy/phione and diancie/carbink are like two pieces of what would be a very fascinating dynamic both in lore and in gameplay but trying to attach legendary meaning to mons that don't need it to stand out such as...

yeah i am glad they dropped that part of the lore because it's both a) kind of silly, and b) would be really restrictive to future generations. arceus on its own already feels kind of like a shadow over any legendary storyline they created afterwards. the diagram is very cool though and i am...

i 100% agree and i also love your team suggestion, but two reservations: - i'd still have light ball pikachu over charizard because it adds a lot of whimsy for a character that is by design very barren in characterisation - something exclusively from johto (rather than an evo) over aerodactyl to...

centro spreading misinformation again? well i'll be...

OH THIS. if mega flygon is in any capacity not worse looking than mega manectric... it better be bad enough to justify the cut

i 100% agree with prioritising single player, but that's exactly why i'd want IVs entirely gone - i feel like between natures and EVs, items, abilities and the four move cap, pokémon are suficiently individualised and IVs don't really add anything positive to either single player or competitive...

I WAS ABOUT TO POST THIS. for more than 15 years i have been fine with the team galactic outfits but now that i know what they could have been, i am not fine anymore :( saturn in particular looks incredible 100% agree. some things end up discarded for a reason

i do agree the tail wasn't the best choice but the creativity of a quadruped bug/fighting type, and referencing the fact that ancient insects could only fold their wings up and not down, and the fact volcarona is already a goated concept that didn't need much more, all outweigh that to make it...

as a fellow cute bug truther i do see the pattern because that's basically my fave bugs per gen - i do think scyther/scizor are a bit off pattern (scizor being my gen 2 fave anyway because wow johto bugs are a mid-off) (edit: venomoth > scyther for kanto) but everyone else vibes the same even...

just experienced the "acid rain" glitch organically in platinum and... is it unpopular that i thought it was funny as hell? there was even an asleep mon woken up by the non-existent uproar, which i didn't even remember was a part of the glitch. also it helped me win faster lmao :psysly:
