Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I did another Hollow Knight playthrough and will, again, affirm it is the best game of all-time. I sank another 50 hours in, and I still have content to do on this new save, and I will absolutely be replaying it over and over again in the future.
By the way, in my life I have bought four copies...
People be talking a lot about Mt Coronet and literally all I see it as is a boring multi-floor square Mt Moon that requires HMs.
I really dgaf about it, it's boring aesthetically in-game and its lore is just okay
Having the player go through the same areas to cross the region is cool ig but it...
I don't know if I'm non-binary of full-on trans. I often feel euphoria when someone calls me she/her, but I do not want to commit to those pronouns at all especially without any voice training. Especially since I play a competitive game that demands team voice chat.
Doesn't help that my mic...
When there is currently a Policy Review thread (with massive support) about the constant overreach of admins in oldgen tiering about "precedent", the wrong move to do is to then immediately overreach and try to force an objectively bad decision about "precedent" on the oldgen suspect test, that...
Yeah also, ftr, my post is only in terms of the group that actually beat the game
Tons of people didn't have the money for guides, tip lines, or the internet, etc. etc. etc.
And a lot of people just didn't beat the game
Because they had guides.
God.
I hate. This. Argument. Used all the fucking time for retro gaming. IT'S BECAUSE MFERS WERE PAYING A SHIT TON OF MONEY TO PHONE LINES!
This was the PEAK of the gaming guides! Buy this magazine, subscribe to Nintendo Power, call our phone line to get tips and...
For one, I don't care for any of the non-Sinnoh mons mentioned so far. Especially design wise I think most of them are ugly (Magmar ew)
Secondly, I am inherently not going to use any cross gen evo because it takes way too much time.
My teambuilding will always be a mix of "How easy is it to...
I'm gonna go ahead and rank the Regions in Pokemon because I'm bored, and by virtue of my opinions generally being controversial, I'm going to just assume it's unpopular. As for a criteria, I'm going to have a few major criterias that applies to each of them:
1. Aesthetics
2. How fun it is to...
Gonna apologize for this post, because it's not really aging very well. While I am not entirely sure about if the test will actually go one direction or the other, I definitely did not believe the Pro Ban sentiment would be this strong, or the demographics of that, at the minimum.
It was a...
From my perspective (as a novice game coder, and novice game designer), AI like that it would probably be more effort than is warranted to make an AI that tries to account for every type of move fail possibility. This is because most of them have different errors due to different logic flows...
I was lactose intolerant as a kid (puked if I drank half a glass of milk) and I literally got over it to consume dairy, and now I drink milk with most hot meal dinners lol
Arctozolt can kinda get owned by Flame Body Heatran, Ferrothorn, and general pivoting. It's still not a bad Pokemon, it has merit and it playstyle is worth using at times. It's just not a dominant threat nowadays, and running a Hail team can be an uphill battle in a lot of matchups. The main...
They really really really fucked up the Galarian Ponyta line which makes me so sad.
I remember everyone I knew thought Galarian Ponyta was really cute, and a good design, and I did too. The type was fine, if a bit oversaturated, as well.
Then the game came out. Its evolution is ugly as hell...
I think I didn't realize the actual progression of the tier and how this attempt, specifically was made. I was not informed on that, and I apologize. I am from an outsider perspective, and from that perspective it felt like for years people were chirping about wanting a tier for the bad Ubers...
That just isn't what the playerbase who made the tier made it for.
The goal was never to make Ubers Jr., as in a tier tiered like Ubers but lesser, it was to make a tier between OU and Ubers where Pokemon not good enough for Ubers and way too good for OU would have a home.
That is 99% of the...
