    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    Garchomp is just really fucking bad at dancing.

    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    Pokemondb only looks at pokemon in the current generation, so it won't give a full list. I don't think most of those pokemon not learning any weather setting moves has to do that much with flavor, it's just because they started being slightly more strict with rain dance and sunny day from gen 7...

    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    Up until like gen 8 or so, almost every pokemon would get at least one of the weather setting moves for some reason. That's probably the reason for Cobalion learning Sunny Day and Rain Dance. The oddest thing about this is that they kept the weather setting moves on all the older pokemon, but...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    tbh I feel the exact opposite. Even if something isn't necessarily overpowered, sometimes it's better to just ban things to make the game funner.

    Yeah, true. Admittedly I haven't watched much of the anime either.

    Is Ghost becoming the new Dragon?

    Maybe this is just because I don't play competitive that much, but honestly I've always thought both these types were overrated af and that the real strength of them (particularly with Dragon) is just how strong the pokemon with those types are. Dragon is good defensively, but offensively it...

    To be fair that's also what happens in the games, I'd blame it on that more than the anime. That being said, I did always find it kinda sad how Alola has this much more interesting and cool system instead of the typical gyms and stuff, only for the region to be starting to phase that out in...

    Brand new unpopular opinion: Mega Dragonite looks pretty good and doesn't even look lazier than the average mega. I have to think people forgot what most megas looked like because most of them really don't change the designs all that much, Mega Dragonite genuinely just looks like a typical mega lol.

    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    There's some Paradox (and even some legendary) pokemon that are just missing random moves that are given to basically every other pokemon besides like Magikarp, and I genuinely can't tell if it was an intentional choice to show how different and strange they are or if they just made a mistake...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    lmao fr. It felt like at every city or notable location, you'd meet hop, then you'd meet bede, then you'd meet leon (while an npc tells you he's the undefeated champion with a charizard for the 1000th time), then you'd meet rose, then you'd meet team yell and/or marnie, then you'd meet the...

    Almost all the battle facilities limit your pokemon to 3 in singles and 4 for doubles though. At least the PWT has the triples option as well to use all six IMO it's my favorite battle facility since fighting actual gym leaders, champions, etc is really cool, and besides that it functions very...

    Research A Look at a Survey of the Most/Least Used Pokemon for in-game playthroughs historically

    Yeah, it seems they used emotes that got deleted at some point. The full data is linked in the post though: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14zz_--acGapR7aimO8WqTXROuMqJq1AARnWVephxYSQ/edit?gid=1002485060#gid=1002485060

    I think it'd be fine for some pokemon to only get one of those two strong options if there's a good design reason for it, but the options should still be around for most pokemon

    Unpopular opinions

    The types already play and feel different because of type matchups. Fire and Bug types will never feel like they play the same because Fire types can hit Steel types super effectively while Bug is resisted, Bug hits Dark super effectively while Fire doesn't, etc. Types will never feel the same...

    A lot of pokemon don't have that high/top tier damage, which is a bad thing that this would fix. There's also a lot of pokemon with no proper early or mid game options, resulting in long time periods where a pokemon is stuck with no stab options or extremely weak stab options. Both of these are...

    Unpopular opinions

    For the most part I agree with this, and I find it baffling that many people don't. I feel like every type should be able to function properly and have actual good attacks for different parts of the game. IMO every type should get four very similar moves for both physical and special attacks...

    The dumbest thing the AI has ever done?

    A couple days ago, I was playing through a bunch of the PTCGP single player battles that I hadn't done yet to get the hourglasses from them. I forget the exact pokemon at this point, so sorry about that. The AI has Vaporeon (the one that can move as much water energy as it wants to itself) out...

    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    So it's already been pointed out by many people around the entire pokemon fanbase that Chikorita learns Disarming Voice in Z-A at some point despite not learning it before, which is definitely an oddity. I figured I'd look farther into it, to see just how much of a hint it is at Kalosian...
