Man. Centro really is the Gamesradar or whatever of Pokemon leaks, huh? Just lurking around forums and stuff and posting the top threads as "news articles"

So not only we should watermark our images, now also our forum posts?
I feel like Gamefreak takes feedback more than people give them credit for. They didn’t randomly change that a bunch of the flying type Pokémon are now grounded, or that new Pokémon since PLA have been given far more interesting posing (even extending to changing old lines, even in subtle ways). They do look at what people say online and work from there.
Of course, this doesn’t change your fundamental point, since most people don’t play with set even in the Pokémon community online. Most youtubers (who are the hubs for a lot of game design opinions in this series) don’t even play with it.
Yeh that's what I meant when I said
While there's things I still facepalm myself on (mostly on data side), there's generally some thought on what they do.
Even catastrophes like the dexit "scandal" were tecnically thinks they thought about and just uuuh handled them completely wrong.
Despite what I can seem to say, I don't think there's any "Masuda woke up and decided that today we nerf toxapex and buff lando-T", and even pretty much all of the balance changes of this generation have logic behind them as long as one reminds that they're done toward VGC/BSS.
Even the fact that the poor Zamazenta didn't deserve the stat nerfs, but his BST have to mirror Zacian's....
Population Bomb is almost certainly like triple axel - has 90 accuracy and hits until it misses. Friend of mine counted number of hits across 34 attempts and it lines up well enough for me to believe its the case. Probably could use confirmation if someone wants to click and count some more.
Perhaps it's just a conspiracy in my head but while I'm thankful for the changes you mentioned that they do make because they listened it sometimes feels like they limit themselves to a "quota" of changes they can allow and if they go over it they have to take away something else.
Which is why people often say it's one step forward etc.
Oh, Pioneer flag confirmed to be an actual ribbon?
RIP, guess I have to buy Legends now. Thanks…
Now now, it's actually a fun game I promise.Oh, Pioneer flag confirmed to be an actual ribbon?

Yeah, can vouch for this. Legends: Arceus is a fun and interesting game.
Somewhat, once you figure out that you need to think differently from mainline as far as battle go, it's not that bad.
However, the main thing I like of Arceus is that similarly to what they've done with SV (but in a much larger scale in SV) the world is sooo big and full of places to explore.
Like, unironically, if there is one thing I praise both games on, is how polished the world is. SV has a bit more "nothing" areas due to it being a single map with no transitions, but still does give that feel of exploration that openworlds are meant to give.
...ofc in neither games, don't expect them to be Skyrim or BotW, the maps arent THAT complex, but still, personally I like the work they did for both.
Though... GF really need to work on the camera... it's not bad but it does occasionally go into weird positions where the transparencies get messed up lol
Hey, finally finished reading everything, great job again to you all! I have two questions! :
- How do you get three rings Dudunsparce?
- Everyone is telling me something different, so at the end of the day, is CC boosted by Iron Fist or not? And did Iron Fist get a raise to get on Sharpness level ?

It is bad in trainer battles when they have a proper team, because you will get revenge killed without having a chance to react; punished for doing the right thing.
You need to collect three Runes from demi gods on the path to become Elden Lord.
Real answer: I have no clue and would be interested in knowing myself.
Well the thing is, in that game the "proper team" is actually stacking defensive pokemon lol
No, no.
That's not story progression locked. You can get it asap as long as you know where the store is.
That is very easy to check with the datamines available and to be very honest, I don't remember this EVER being a thing.
Sounds like Centro is talking out of their ass again.
This is an interesting proposal though.
50%. I've seen it myself.
H-Samurott will be scary if Razor Shell made it and is a cutting move.Don't get me wrong, I've basically theorymon'd this exact ability before, and wanted nothing more than exactly that, but 112 BP Razor Shells with 50% Defense drops is just funny
Its signature move is already good enough to push it to some viability.
To all of my IGTL haters that bitched about me taking a dump on X-Items! Hold that L!!!
Oh, btw, just a heads-up. Disobedient mons can still be used in Raids to fold low level ones and for breeding purposes, so if y'all want to say, catch the new pseudo just to breed one and use it in the main story, that's perfectly viable. (Just be careful with the potential amie boosts.
)School uniforms.
GF said: "Thou shall have noooo drip, thou shall have nooooo Frontier, and most importantly! Thou shall have nooooooooooooo bitches!"
Can't wait for mods for these WACK uniforms tbh. Those are probably the worst things I've seen in a minute.
You get customization for everything but shirts and pants from what I've seen.
It's kinda ridiculous tbh. There's only so much a pair of shades and timbs can do when you gotta wear orange shorts/pants.
The spring uniform even got suspenders.
True. Offense is the name of the game, so while Pawmot is definitely not deadweight, it'll be hard to get it in, pull off the revive, then do something else, and the mon that's coming back still needs to get back in with all kinds of hazards on the field at 50% HP.
I see it as more of a thing Pawmot will want to do if it has the chance, but not something it's built for. Max HP/Speed builds with Leppa for revive cheese sounds like a noob trap.
If I were to use it, I'd abuse its offensive potential because people absolutely cannot put in a wall like say, Scream Tail against it because that would give me a free revive.
emphatise
Worldie, are you trying to set up snow with these jokes?
It's more than that. I haven't seen the "Disable animations" option in those menu options screenshots.Don't worry, speedrunners will already be in shambles at trying to figure how to break this game for a couple months. The "loss" of Switch isn't going to be felt cause knowing them they'll just spam a single pokemon anyway
Speedrunners LAWST.
Oh hey, that's nice... Wait, is that a Dawn Stone!?
How many for that? Catch or encounter?
From what I've seen, most regular encounters have a fixed Tera type (For example, Pawmi is always Electric)
Raids are "random" for now, we don't have enough data on them.
Tera Shards seem to be higher level raid rewards, 1/2 Stars don't really give them, but you can find some on former raid points after you beat them iirc.
I don't think we'll know how raids work for sure until the game is out.
They got a LOT to work on presentation-wise if they want VGC to turn into an e-sports game.
Also, I have a slightly different theory on the lack of facilities and the conspicuous lack of post-game...
Frontier DLC, you heard it here first folks, no bullshit riddles, I'm giving it to y'all straight from my time machine.
This game is all about Paradoxes, so if I imagine it hard enough, it'll become true dammit!!!
CC doesn't have the punching flag, I checked myself in the CSV slp32 provided.
Dunno where people got the idea that it's Fist from. Prolly saw the Ground Type Close combat being punch and assumed the same applied.
As for dudunsparce, while I can't confirm anything, i'd assume its just a random chance like with moushold's number of kids
So um.. any confirmation on thigh-highs and hairpins? It's what I'm banking on the most.. ;w;You get customization for everything but shirts and pants from what I've seen.
