Let's be fair here, in a situation where every single gym battle was a Doubles battle it would still be snowbally because you're doing it to 2 of your Pokemon at the same time instead of just one.

Speaking in terms of in-game Megas probably feel more broken because their design ethos is "what if this specific pokemon was busted". There's multiple layers of design going into them, from ability to minmaxed stat allocation to aesthetic design. So you're looking for it and that makes...

It's definitely not a super overbearing mechanic which was nice. Yeah yeah yeah they ~should have made the bosses use it better~ whatever. It had a nice sweet spot for me. Shoutouts to Clavell whose Tera Water Quaquaval beat my ass in.

Episode: Arven continually put off as the writer's room goes back & forth on if they should just pick one professor to focus on or grab both e: By Grab Both I more mean, do they make both of them jointly responsible for the issue and also maybe kill both and make both into an AI. Since...

If we're focusing on the "flavor" of the move (cleanliness! bushy tails!) then I'm going to gesture at Buizel & Aipom (whose tails are not bushy as already noted), Greedent (the opposite of clean), Zacian/Zamazenta (who despite having the tails for it I'm shocked even got the move, tbh...

I can see the logic but to me the way they work is too different to really apply it.

well worst case they can just import another region's legends. Sinnoh had one million sub legends and still felt the need to import 3 others and then add a new one for Hisui. Or, hell, just reuse the birds again considering they were in XY to begin with. I am still on the A-B-C legendary...

Ganondorf & Bowser are also playable characters and transform in their final smash, and got those transformations as bosses. There is a reason I brought up mega mewtwo Y and also those 2 in the same conversation here.

To be fair, if there was a Pokemon boss they probably would have had at least one route actually based around fighting said boss regardless of who it was. & yeah Marx was in Dark World alongside Dracula & Ganon (all 3 had their own areas, though marx's was only tangentially related to Milky...

I'm guessing it's more because they did not actually care about being thematic & they didn't want that many bosses. So in addition to the 2 new OCs & the Hands as minibosses (who they're already using for Classic mode) you had 2 returning smash originals (one of which got to reuse assets), 2...

I don't think it would tone down the zigzagging at all, it just puts it in a different spot you'd go Katy on the qest, then Brassius to the east, then Iono a little more to the east then back to the west for Kofu & Larry to Katy west, Brassius east, back over to the qestfor Kofu, then Iono in...

Honestly every time I've seen Geeta fight (excluding her BB rematch) she typically sent out Kingambit 4th, to the point where I wondered if she had a special AI routine for it and it was like "yeah this gets the point across, watch out!" if that was just coincidental, it's pretty funny

Honestly even without super mechanics and with generally stronger teams, it still feels slightly deflating. We'll put aside rando rival battles or mid game gyms or lolBugsy. Those are too easy to peck away at. How about Cynthia? I think we can all agree that she's a pretty solid team. High...

I think it works fine because you get to see their strong pokemon have extra aesthetic things and go 'wow neat' I think the number of people who see "best for last" and go "oh this is how i need to play!" are pretty low. Not like people are out there seeing low team numbers and going "I have to...

I dunno I think shoving out their best Pokemon the millisecond they can is kind of....dumb? Like oh okay I guess the finale of this battle will be your weaker Pokemon. Great. It just makes sense from a gamefreel perspective to put the best for last.

I will say "base points" as the official equivalent for our "EVs" makes sense, but also this is a great example how sometimes, after a certain point, as a community you just gotta stick to the ultra-ingrained fan terminology. like imagine if they didnt just throw their hands up and go "fine...

ok I actually have some issue here I mean first off they're going to use "base stat" for the remainder of the article anyway so you should just still keep it named Base Stat and then have a "official referred to as blahblahblah" but secondly when they speak about Vitamins they speak about...

Tried the Malamar method for a solo, but it didn't go so hot. Then tried online and got a team of Skeledirge, Annihilape and Volbeat Despite the Annihilape using Screech after the Contrary went up, it thankfully happened after his first regular screech and he stopped doing it after he died...

And aside from flavor it was probably locked behind a NPC at the time since it might have been more of a technical limit. I feel like if RPGs at the time ever let you rename anyone you typically had to go to someone else, so not being something they could shove into a menu wouldn't surprise me...

because level 56+ will still take longer to reach but honestly mostly just like...game feel reasons. After a certain point the "game feel" lands on "okay this is just annoying. I'm annoyed." because in the back of my mind I'm constantly thinking how I already had Dragonite or whatever...
