Made solo runs annoying in Gen V (though not impossible.) Post-game grinding is gonna be a massive pain with that in effect. Not really sure why they thought it was a good idea to bring that back.

exp scaling is v good for new dudes you pick up in the late game or if there's a large chunk of the game where one or two members of your team don't see much use and I don't really know why anyone would think it's a bad thing!

It's also not really a big deal since most online battles auto level to 50 now. So you don't have to level something to 100 top able top use it online, just to 50.

Wait, for realsies?? oh god yes, depending on the balance this could be the whole having your cake and eating it deal with your pokemon growing at a normalized rate but overleveling being essentially stopped.

Dr. Fetus posted:Offensive wise, it shouldn't do too bad in the coverage department at least. Ghost is a very good attacking type right now, what with only 1 type resisting it, and 1 type immune to it. I don't use Unova starters in my Gen V game runs anymore. Emboar is boring and slow, Samurott has some fun moves but I don't really like the way it looks (and it's just Water type, eeeeugh), and Serperior...I found Snivy only slightly less challenging to use than Chikorita in the Gen II games, so it never got to Serperior before being ditched. Even when I did a grass type run. I replaced it with a Maractus bred with Wood Hammer. Worked out way better. Just from how these starters look and their typings, I suspect they'll all be usable. Grass/Flying with actual good stats and level-up moves will probably be decent, and then Grass/Ghost will be mostly excellent. Incineroar will easily outclass the only others of its type, the Houndour line, but prior to that Litten/Torracat might be a bit limited by being quadrupedal. The Popplio line will be good from the get-go, but will get crazy good upon final evolution. I think Primarina will probably see competitive use, even.

You do have a point there. I liked that it's easier for underleveled mons to play catch up more easily. The other aspect of it was what I was mainly not a fan of. As long as they don't lock the better moves for a mon at too high of a level, it should be fine.

If the speculated movesets for Primarina are even remotely right, then yes it is going to be competitive because it's going to be a brick house in the shape of a mermaid. If it really does get Draining Kiss, it'll probably be harder to kill than Sylveon, which is terrifying. Even so, I'm tempted to start owl myself because owls are cute and ghost sniper owls are cool. Tho frankly I want all three starters and I will probably be begging for them shamelessly come the 18th.

EXP scaling might make it harder to reach level 100, which is important because a pokemon has to be level 100 to use Hyper Training.LAY-ZX posted:

Some like Charizard have the high level moves made into level 1 moves to be relearned. Then other stuff did this and it makes no sense. In other news, the newest suspect ban out of OU is Mega Sableye. Not because it's too good, or can't be checked, or countered, or is over centralizing or anything like that. But because it's harder to get up entry hazards with it around and you can't use traditional stall break tactics against it.

Oh yeah, that's actually gonna be a bit of a problem. I mean if they're actually encouraging leveling up to 100, hopefully there's something that will make that easier?

SpaceDrake posted:It's not confirmed by any mining or anything, but there's an ever-increasing suspicion that the UBs are linked in some way to major NPCs throughout the game. So it's very, very unlikely they'll be capturable. They aren't being referred to as Pokemon for likely a very good reason. Oh I know it isn't confirmed, and I was aware of that, but the datamining also revealed a new type of Pokeball that's kinda fancy looking, and the theory is that it's used to capture the Ultra Beasts. There's no proof it's for the UBs, and there also could be the possibility that you capture them but can't ever use them in battle, it's for story purposes, but even that would bother me a little. I'm hoping the ball isn't actually for the UBs and it serves some other purpose.

It's got the same sort of grid aesthetic as the teleporting UB01 as well as the gold crests reminiscent of cosmog/solgaleo/lunaala

SpaceDrake posted:Just remember that grass/ghost is... a bit of an odd typing. It gains a number of defenses (immune to norm/fight, resists ground/grass/water/electric), but also picks up a ton of vulnerabilities (fire/flying/ghost/ice/dark). So in general, the owl is either going to be safe or it's going to be slapped around - opponents are probably going to try to go for its weaknesses wherever possible. So wait, let me get this straight, either it'll be Okay against it's opponent or it won't and people fighting it are going to try to attack its weaknesses? In a pokemon game? That's pretty unheard of. It sounds very doubtful but thanks for your in-depth, well explained mechanics commentary!

Scaled exp is really cool for actually playing through the game, but I'd think it would be easy enough for them to make it so after you clear the game exp can only scale up and not down. There is plenty of reason to want it to scale down while playing through, but no reason at all to want it to scale down after you've cleared the E4. I'm not saying they'll actually do that, but it'd be a good idea.
