Haven't read the manga in years and dropped off before getting to Gen 5 (also skipped around I think?), but I remember liking the Sinnoh arc the most. The camaraderie of the main trio really strengthens the whole thing. I actually really dislike Mask of Ice as an antagonist. He feels too...

Very late to this, but the first thing that came to mind is Archeop's BST of 567 referencing the Dewey Decimal number for feathered dinosaurs.

Re: Black Belts in FRLG I can only presume it's because Fighting-types don't have their readily-accessible super strong moves yet. Brick Break is the best the type has, but it's a TM and GF avoid putting those in random trainer movesets (at least back then). They were also probably trying to...

Finchinator, I'd like some clarification if the new move ban is considered to fall under Evasion Clause or not. Your tweet from earlier today implied the former while your above post makes no direct mention of EC, just an implication. If the new move ban is considered to be covered by Evasion...

Theia if you don't mind another recommendation with a classic twist, I suggest The Court Jester. Very underrated comedy from the 50s that takes place in medieval times. Lots of good wordplay that still lives rent free in my head even though I haven't watched the movie in like a decade. Damn...

Not an RBY player so can't say much other than y'all should seriously consider renaming the tier to RBY Modded or something similar if you're keeping the status quo. Just be honest with yourselves: you have not and never did play actual RBY when it's always had like 3 meta-defining mods, you...

Working off decade old memories here god, but I distinctly remember most Gen 6 and Gen 7 discussion being more concerned with the viability rankings and not so much overall meta discussion. I'm actually kind of surprised people are still talking on the forums this much in a post-Discord world...

Doesn't even need to roll evasion to be stupid. Imagine a Mega Medicham in ORAS/SM getting a +2 boost to Attack or Speed it wouldn't otherwise have. I see no downside to banning the move in all generations under Evasion Clause. It adds nothing to the game and only detracts because it exists...

Haven't played this tier in years but U-turn -> Pursuit Tyranitar fucks a lot of counters. I should know, I ran that (with LO on Lando even) during early XY while the genie was somehow still legal. Stupidly effective. (Different meta and all, but the same principle applies.) That combined with...

I came up with what I thought was a cool ability for an alternate Diagla form (basically a field effect that checks the turn counter twice at the end of each turn and removes the charge/recharge for moves like Roar of Time), so naturally I was disappointed by Pressure again lol. (Couldn't come...

I agree with this tbh. I think it's more interesting from a game design standpoint when the player has to make choices and can't just have everything. Last couple times I played Gen 5 (or maybe it was ORAS idk) I remember slapping Earthquake on half my team in the endgame and being all "huh this...

This post reminded me of how Sky Drop had barely any distribution. Like I kind of get it? The move's been a menace to Game Freak since its inception (bunch of glitches, potential balancing issues for Doubles, etc.) and they seem to have Dexited it. But why did they bother making it a TM in Gen...

Smaller, more intimate world maps with lots of detail > large empty ones. Every time I play Skyrim I can barely remember shit about the world. Pretty sure the Yakuza series does something similar to what LZA is probably going for to great effect.

It was brought up in another forum that Paris went through a major renovation during the 19th century, so expect that to be the timeframe. Hey guys look at this concept art I found.

Since when has GF actually cared about balance outside of some token gestures. I can totally see them throwing Megas back into the meta.

>wakes up >expects dumb news to be disappointed by or the obvious news to be "meh"ed by >GF takes third option Huh. Well I'm pleasantly surprised. Also PLA's new mons got imported into the main games so I expect Megas -- the best battle gimmick -- to be returning to us eventually. Maybe we'll...

I can only assume it was an oversight because nothing about it seems to be bug-related. Bulbapedia thinks that Heatran more closely associated with dragons, if only tangentially, due to its Japanese name. Though that does explain why it gets Dragon Pulse. Actually as long as we're talking about...

I think Qwilfish learns Destiny Bond because it's a sea mine lol. So it blows up and takes you out.

Keldeo getting Pain Split at least can be explained by the fact it's partially based on the kelpie, which is for all intents and purposes a water demon. So fey adjacent and in line with the regular suspects. I think the intention with Alomomola learning it is to leverage the mon's high HP stat...

Friendly reminder that Centro will peddle any remotely passable garbage they come across for clicks. iirc they ripped speculation straight from this subforum for one such "leak". Stop giving them attention.
