Really stupid question, but I just wanna make sure: a Pokemon's level-up moves depend on the game it's currently in, not the one it's originally from, right?

Yes. It keeps whatever moves it has when transferred, but anything later than that is subject to its current game.

THINKS CON-AIR WAS A GOOD MOVIE
Looking at the Uranium Wiki, they don't even seem to understand the core of Pokemon.

Like, the three-stage starters missing was bad enough (although part of me things the Mega Evolutions were final forms that got swapped for...whatever stupid reason), but one of the options is a Steel-type to start? Doesn't that kind of...imbalance everything in your favor to have a flat-out resistance from the start of the game to most early game attacks?

Not only that, but their move sets seem to follow the pattern of "Basic attack of type A, basic attack of type B, mid-range attack of type A, mid-range attack of type B, gimmick attack of type A, gimmick attack of type B..."

Maybe not as strict as AB AB AB, but it's still pretty obvious they just went down a list of attacks sorted by power and slapped them in.

And, oh man, the super edgy demon Pseudos :allears: It's like everything you could ever want to make fun of in a fan game.

There is nothing, not a single Pokemon that isn't up on GTS for genesect or melloetta

Sure I'll trade you a a genesect for a jumpluff. That's a good idea.

I kind of want to clone 100 0 IV Genesects now

Zodack posted:

I was working towards some trade Pokes for my living dex like Golem and Gengar and every Graveller and Haunter on the GTS are also up for Genesect and Meloetta with the text "SHINY" and "PLEASE" and it makes me want to vomit

The secret to the GTS is that every reasonable trade offer is already taken as soon as they come up, leaving only the garbage requests. If you deposit your own mon for a reasonable request, it'll probably be picked up fairly quickly.

Alternatively, there's the trading thread.

I think the real wonder is just people begging for shinies or mythicals for actual garbage. I shouldn't be surprised - and I'm not to a large degree because these people are in every game - but it's exhausting just to see them exist.

I've done a few good trades on the GTS. Got a Golem last night, for instance.

Also not sure if it's been discussed but isn't Innards Out actually a pretty drat strong ability? Like it's something you switch into a statted up/choiced sweeper and either force them to trade or their sweeper could get taken out from Innards Out recoil.

It has pain split, it's purpose designed to take out statted up sweepers.

Why are fan-made Pokémon games so terrible? They seem to prefer things to be "edgy" while ignoring the elements that make the games appealing in the first place?

People seem to get what made the Earthbound games appealing (hence why we have games inspired by that series like Undertale and Lisa). But people can't do the same for Pokémon.

I played the pokemon sage demo since I loved the pokemon designs, only for it to have a far worse level curve than any of the real games. A team of level 10 pokemon that all have resistances to your pokemon, before you get access to items, and the wild pokemon are all level 2-3? Ugh, no thanks.

Protecting your virginity




I loving love these kinds of things. The descriptions are really cool, too.

Also these new Alola forms are awesome. I am ridiculously hyped for Alolan Persian since Persian was one of my Gen 1 favorites but has been borderline unplayable competitively since the crit hax nerf, and even pretty garbage ingame. Also Alolan Meowth is clearly inspired by the Russian Blue cat breed :3: unless it gets a good alternate typing and better stats I can't see it playing as anything but a poor man's Weavile, but we'll see. Atleast GF remembered it exists. Hopefully.

(If it's Meowth only or it evolves into a new Pokemon I will set my 3DS on fire)

Can't wait to see Dragonite, if they go there like the .jp site may hint at. If so, here's hoping it continues Dragonair's design themes closer. A sleek blue serpentine water creature evolving into Pete's Dragon never made any sense to me.

I wonder what they're gonna do with Cosplay Pikachu anyway? It seems like something they might keep around like Rotom forms but I could also see them just folding the moves into the standard Pikachu moveset, especially since Alola Raichu relies on Electric Terrain.
