    When exactly did the Psychic-type start to fall off in-game?

    not to mention sinnoh games throw heart scales at you with the underground. i had alnost 20 by the end of my recent pearl playthrough :zonger:

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    oh, i agree because that's exactly what happens in sinnoh and it feels silly to need a "national" pokedex mode to register mons that are very much living in sinnoh, but i do miss postgame areas not associated to a DLC. original BW has a great postgame, even if it becomes the biggest example of...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    i agree and if i were in charge i would make a rock-type variation of aerial ace as a new TM just to disown that identity anyway, little thing that annoys me: i miss the concept of the national pokédex in the sense that only a select amount mons are available in the main game but you can obtain...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    mons focused on bulk AND speed with offense specifically being the weak spot are much less common than other kinds of spreads and scream tail commits to it with the possibility to increase one of its defenses or speed with protosynthesis. the usefulness of such a role hasn't been huge in a...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    wait i had never put together that the three pre-evo paradoxes are stone evolutions... it all makes sense now i don't like how so many of them are just... strong sweepers with little other utility even for the ostensibly more cared for doubles environment. it feels like they put 90% of their...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    i agree that ethers really should be purchaseable, even if as expensive as a revive or even a max potion. in earlier gens, you do run out of PP on key moves sometimes and you just don't want to use an ether because WHAT IF YOU NEED IT LATER??? you most probably won't, but still, E4 is the only...

    Mechanics Swap Question

    honestly, having a battle frontier-like challenge running concurrently to regular gyms would be a great use of the style of progression SV employed, and it would also be more interesting than just showing all of them together in the post-game.

    Mechanics Swap Question

    now that SV came up with a day cycle dissociated from real time, seasons should absolutely return. the seasons changing every 60 in-game days, which is 3 real days, would be entirely reasonable.

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Banned]

    should the kokoloko method be surveyed again? it feels like the timing is right for it since there's a lot of agreement on the tier needing something done, but very little on what the something is. it would be a reasonable medium-term plan (and one that doesn't involve unbanning lugia or...

    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    not to be rude but........ like i already think that assuming certain BSTs are given to reach specific competitive VGC benchmarks are iffy, let alone this. i think they just like how some numbers look most of the time

    honestly i always left the gym for a pokémon center trip whenever i needed. time consuming to play the puzzle again, yes, but not that much that it'd be worth it to not do it. i think gamefreak realised this and just gave up because locking the gym would be perceived as too hard?

    what the anime did in SM feels like the closest thing to the uniqueness of gen 1 sprites and i wouldn't mind if that (not necessarily the same style) was applied to a main series game. the same creatures, a different art direction that gives it identity compared to the other games.

    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    i really want ILCA to get their own game if only to settle the "they ruined DP" vs "they did what any remake does" discourse. also, maybe unpopular, but the only pokémon remake that truly leaves "glorified port" territory is ORAS (i say this loving FRLG and specially HGSS - they didn't change...

    little things that annoy me in pokémon (fandom): someone doesn't care about something so they go "i don't know why other people care about this"

    i think starters' secondary typing don't have to necessarily be new triangles because their original types do all the work towards in-game rival battles being harder. by the time the second type is reached you should have a team that can handle anything, too. just make them whatever secondary...
