I have finished going through all the flags and have added them to the list of changed moves (adding a few more). So to see what moves where changed, here's the link here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D8fcCXIsy_oE_SNtHUYV9q00Ta1ngQ27TAUFLcwK5xg/edit?usp=sharing
You can go back as far as Morrowind in 2002 to get better elders scroll water effects.
It all depends on execution rather than concept alone. I understand that Donphan not getting an evolution since it was a version counterpart to Ursaring is very vexing, but a problem of this kind is not exclusive to traditional evolution.
Same here. Bears are some of my favorite animals. Pangoro was my hope that finally there is a bear that came to play. Ursaluna looks like the first to fill that void (Technically ursushifu came first but it is a legendary so I don't count it).
Technically Snorlax is based on a hibernating bear and has been a major player since RBY. But yeah Ursaluna could be very well the premier bear Pokemon
It's pretty deflating with the vast amount of money they have they seem to refuse to expand the team and give the bare minimum in graphics (Switch limitations aside). Like so far the new Kirby looks gorgeous
It literally can't lose Eruption, its been a level up move for the entire Cyndaquil line since gen 4.
I think cross gen evos, regional variants and megas can all have their place. Just the execution can vary wildly. For every Mega Charizard, Ursaluna/Rhyperior, and Alolan Marowak you will get a Mega Audino, Electivire or Alolan Raticate.ayo mods someone posted a nude guy
also theres no way I'm seeing someone legit want a mega evolution instead of a normal one for a mon. Cross evolutions were the best gimmick ever and we've been downhill ever since.
anyways ursaluna is cute. love doofy mons that just hit like trucks
put respect on my mans alolan raticate right now. hes trying his best
I know he is but I'm afraid his Kanto cousin is saying it's time to get up and stop eating all the crisps.
Flamestorm7 said Electivire as an example as a poorly done cross-gen evo mechanically-wise, compared to Rhyperior who Solid Rock alone give it an enough edge that otherwise Eviolite Rhydon will overshadow it. And we know that Ursaluna’s stats alone tells us it’s an unexpectedly strong threat.
Snorlax is a bear and was good for a very long time.
In reality most of the DP cross gen evolutions were straight up worse than Electivire. Electivire is just the most flagrant example because it was noob bait for so long. I was here back then and people really, really forced themselves to believe it was good.
To be fair, I feel like out of all those mechanics, megas are the most interesting, fun, and fair. But yeah, that was funny to read.
Definitely seems that way. If we compare it to Z-moves and Dynamax at least
I think Alolan Rat is ight, mainly because in practice, it ends up being about as good as absol stat wise (ignoring accuracy) and has a pretty good secondary stab move.
Yeah, Electivire wasn't that terrible when it was introduced and might have been decent in a lower tier like UU. However, getting virtually no buffs since its inception probably makes it the second worst out of the DPP evos, only behind Probopass imo. Magmortar is much better I think since it got a lot of good tools over time like Flame Charge, AV, Vital Spirit (better on Magmortar since it resist Grass attacks) and HDB, along with a Fairy resistance. Glaceon at least got Freeze dry and buffed shadow ball to hit steel-types, and Leafeon got Knock Off to fix its coverage issues.
