Your title was so old it used HTML which isn't even allowed in titles anymore what the hell
No I'm not actually *Triggered* right now I'm just saying that I didn't know what it was and wished it had stayed a big mouthed hippo bug. An antlion pokemon looking like an antlion is all good I just didn't expect it and was disappointed.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


I blame the general series-long power creep. What once was amazing in an earlier game end up becoming less and less impressive as time goes on. Although Pokémon is unique in that new mechanics such as moves, abilties and other changes are retrofitted onto older Pokémon.

Huh, just noticed that the next update isn't two weeks after, rather it's on the 14th, the Friday after the next. Guess it'll mostly focus on the Demo?

alternatively it's actually the NX reveal

Which just so happens to be a day or two after CoroCoro leaks will hit the internet. Proooooobably not a coincidence.

it gets one good stab move in one game and in all the rest you get sand tomb and dragonbreath

it's also made of paper and has no resists

it was really bad

It has Rock Slide/Dig/Crunch by the time it evolves from BW2 onward, that's not bad to me. In addition to evolving from a cute little duder.

Ohhh yeah. I did that. No way was I leaving with a single Pokemon uncaptured!

After that slog, I really didn't have any desire to play the game again...

I want Flygon to get a mega. It's such a cool pokemon, but it gets overshadowed by its better version Garchomp thanks to its better stats and abilities.

This. If they do make new megas for Sun and Moon, it needs to be at the top of the list.

Mudkip disproves this. Granted, it's more salamander than fish, but still.

Huh, game is 3.2 gigs. Interesting.

For comparison's sake, XY is 1.7, so I guess this means SM will have finished areas.
Also Smash for 3DS is 2.1

A lot of that could be the increased graphical fidelity.

Compare screenshots of SuMo to X/Y.
