    Just because we've talking about Tar Shot a fair bit recently, a couple more questions about it popped into my mind. Sorry that I can't test them myself, and sorry if they've already been tested and answered: Would a Fire attack on a Tar Shotted target that's otherwise neutral to Fire have its...

    Pokemon Black and White In-Game Tier List Discussion (MkII)

    I've been looking at C tier and I guess I need some answers for it. I'm just going to comment on the entire list. So, to wrap this up and give the TL;DR... (*'s are requests for explanations for such high placement) To be brought down to D: Druddigon*, Durant*, Minccino*, Vanillite To stay at...

    Pokemon Black and White In-Game Tier List Discussion (MkII)

    Funnily enough, I was always under the impression that Shelmet was findable in Route 6, where Karrablast is, but it seems that was a change made in BW2 and I was mixed up! If we are to assume that the "proper" way to get Escavalier and Accelgor is to wait until you can catch both Karrablast and...

    Pokemon Black and White In-Game Tier List Discussion (MkII)

    Warning: Long ass rant with a mix of bias and actual in game experience incoming. I don't like Vanilluxe. Because of Vanillite's high evolution levels and because I don't like to grind for anything in Pokemon games, it's always too weak to handle the match ups it would like. I think I'm going...

    Pokemon Black and White In-Game Tier List Discussion (MkII)

    First of all, the difference in 5 points of ATK aren't as big of a deal as you think. In terms of their movepools, Unfezant gets basically nothing but Normal and Flying attacks (mostly Special Flying attacks I might add)... in comparison to Stoutland who gets Crunch, all three Elemental Fangs by...

    What are your thoughts on the Pokemon fanbase?

    If Game Freak actually cared, they would have likely sent the C&D's all the way back in 2008 when Shoddy Battle was the main simulator. Besides, even though we're technically distributing assets of the games through the simulator (graphics like Pokemon models and BW2 Trainer sprites, battle...

    Pokémon Let's Go! - Pikachu and Eevee

    The problem with the games are that they're realistically no better than Yellow version. Sure, you have the Special Attack/Defence split and the Physical/Special split, all the new moves and types since then (even though the new types are largely irrelevant for Kanto, and not to mention a shit...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I mean, RNG isn't good design to begin with because it comes down to dumb luck. The only reason it exists was to simulate dice rolls from the old pen and paper D&D because that was the RPG to be ripping off back in the day, and it's kind of only now when the consumers are catching on about RNG...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    ...Anyways, for a bit of my own annoyances: the Poke to Step conversion with Super and Max Repels is absolutely stupid. Let's do some math to exemplify my point. Base Repels cost 400 Poke for 100 steps. In other words, 30 Base Repels costs 12,000 Poke for 3,000 steps. Or, in other words, 4 Poke...

    Pokémon Let's Go! - Pikachu and Eevee

    I mean, sure, the value of Held Items and Abilities is subjective for the in game (even though I'm always using the former while I keep catching a Pokemon I want to use until I get the Ability I want), but that's not the point. The point is that we're going backwards instead of forwards or even...

    Unpopular opinions

    What does it really matter if IVs are gone? Yeah, +31 points to your stats can be the difference between life and death, but if nobody has that +31 points, then it sort of balances itself out if they gone, doesn't it? I'm sure I'm oversimplifying things because I know there are multiple Pokemon...

    Pokémon Let's Go! - Pikachu and Eevee

    I never had these issues with Catching Pokemon as most people seem to (except with Legendaries, but those are kind of different), but I do think that having to knock out a Pokemon before given the chance to catch it or not would be interesting. Just as long as a Pokeballs would then act like...

    Pokémon Let's Go! - Pikachu and Eevee

    I just still can't wrap my head around this. We've seen with the likes of Slaking, Regigigas and Archeops that Abilities can make Pokemon who would otherwise be broken pure trash. And on the other hand, Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Greninja and Blaziken would be useless without their current...

    Pokémon Let's Go! - Pikachu and Eevee

    I have to admit, as much as I'm not too keen on the game's graphics graphics considering they really don't look any better than the 3DS games (not to mention the models for the Pokemon were ripped right out of them as well...), the Celadon Department Store's storefront looks really cool in 3D...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    To be fair about Surge Surfer, Alolan Raichu is surfing on its tail, and you're probably not going to use Electric Terrain except without Tapu Koko, so Alolachu is most likely surfing on the Electric Surge, so I honestly don't know what else you'd call it. Otherwise, I do agree with you. And...

    Pokémon Let's Go! - Pikachu and Eevee

    Unfortunately, the losers on the video camera are blocking Eevee's HP, Attack and CP, meaning that our estimates probably wouldn't be particularly accurate. Even if the missing stats were shown, however, this video also shows us playing dress up with Pikachu, meaning that this footage is most...

    Pokémon Let's Go! - Pikachu and Eevee

    I'm still not sold on items and abilities being gone. Like, the screenshot we saw was one showing Pikachu learning a new move; a scene that we've historically never been able to view our held items or ability on. If this is the case and Pika's held item/ability is simply obscured because there's...

    Pokémon Let's Go! - Pikachu and Eevee

    Here's a list of all the Cross Gen Evos/Babies for Kanto Mons. Note that the Pokedex order is off because this is all off the top of my head (and that's freaking sad). Mons in Bold will be Mons that are not in GO, which Let's GO is obviously based on. As you can see, that's only 32 Pokemon. In...

    Worst Pokemon Sprites?

    That back Rhyhorn sprite actually looks like Cloyster to me. Just the general roundness of the sprite and all the spikes it has coming out of it... idk. But looking up Rhyhorn sprites actually made me notice something about Rhydon's sprite in GSC. This is GSC's back sprite for Rhydon. Notice...

    Event Discussion

    So, is there anything special about these Event Mons, or are they literally just two less Legendaries for us to catch? Even though it's been seven years, I'm still (fruitlessly, mind you) holding out for GameFreak to finally realise that Nature locking those Master of Illusion Legendary Beasts...
