It keeps gen 1 trapping mechanics which means infestation is a bitch

Aaaaand on that note, I instantly ban the use of Bind and all other moves like it. All of the fast users of those moves will greatly unbalance the metagame.

Did you read the whole OP?
Why are gen2 sleep talks better?
Because they used to get healed when choosing rest during sleep.
90 Def Ninjask
Crocune comes back with a vengeance.
This tier would become Scope Lens deo-s
Now that I think about it, how would that work? Gen 1 crit mechanics and Scope Lens didn't exist at the same time as far as I know, so how would that even math out? Would it be like Focus Energy or something? Headaches ensue.
Scope Lens multiplies crit ratio by 2x
But Scope Lenses only raises crit ratio in stages, and speed crit ratios don't have stages.
Stage1 is 1/16 stage2 is 1/8. BUT it doesn't matter because it would nerf some pokemon such as Parasect.
Ok I am wondering about sleep also is it like the annoying rby sleep or is it the op gen 2 sleep or the god damn gen 5 sleep i don know .-.
So would this mean Aegislash have 110 atk/def? How would that work out? Blade Aegislash with 110 def is scary.
Sleep mechanics from 5th gen, and freeze mechanics from 1st gen. The freeze clause would work like this: If the enemy has a Pokemon frozen and/or asleep, no other Pokemon can be put to sleep/be frozen.
Yup, Aegislash-Shield has 110 Attack, so Aegislash-Blade has 110 Defense. We may have a new monster on our hands.
And how would shedinja work? 31 max hp? 31 hp calculated normally? Still 1 hp hard coded?
it would work gudr
I would say it has actual HP, meaning it actually makes use of Substitute now. But far more importantly, it can actually hurt things with Final Gambit now. Get hyped.
