RIP OU Gengar. You were the only holdout from Gen 1 that made it to OU every generation, but alas, Gen 7 was not to be, it seems.

korusan posted:for all we know Cursed Body could have been bumped to 100% chance of disable on contact Even still, it eliminates his ability to switch in on Earthquake, AND effectively gives him one of the worst weaknesses to have in the game. I don't think with all of the power creep going on that he could remain OU with that additional weakness. There's plenty of other ghosts out there with just as good of a movepool and similar if not better stats. Levitate was really what was keeping him so strong. I might be wrong though, because for all we know he could learn a new amazing move or something. edit: Mega Gengar is good because Shadow Tag is insane, but also because it can switch in on normal, fighting, and ground moves as Gengar and then Mega Evolve on the switch. Loss of levitate would still really hurt Mega Gengar. Maybe enough to actually make him OU viable. Regular Gengar though would probably go the way of the dodo.

Those are pretty fake. The dude with the early copy left the first island and took a break, he hasn't even met a Ghastly and has no way of dumping the game beyond playing through and taking pics. The only stat stuff we know is that Rowlet's evolution is slower than Quilladin

less laughter posted:Starmie has been OU for six gens straight as well I could've sworn that it went to UU for at least a short while during one of the generations, but I suppose what matters is in what tier it ended up. So yeah, Starmie and Gengar. Just two incredibly well balanced, well designed murder machines.

I like gravity teams so Stone Edge never missing is a constant for me, actually. It's not as much of a game changer as you'd hope, sadly. (It doesn't help I'm bad at pokemon)

I'm still angry that Litten evolution basically is Fire/Fighting, even if they changed its type. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's just a duck with a different subtype apparently. Who ever heard of a WRESTLER being a dark type and not a fighting type?

I remember when NetBattle, and later Shoddy Battle, were the battle sims for Pokémon. I feel like Net Battle had a Smogon server back in Gen 3, though I can't tell you how far into competitive things were way back when. I can definitely say Smogon had a lot of traction in Gen 4. It was only yesterday reading posts on how Scizor gaining Bullet Punch in Platinum made it shoot up in usage.

The internet is where I learned about (and played) Gold and Silver before most people I knew. I'm glad we have international releases now, but back then the fact that there was another pokemon game out in Japan but not here seemed so wild.

I think it was IGN who had the Pokémon of the Day Guy (and later Chick) who went in depth on competitive movesets?

The translation fell off around the island town, and I missed out on the Fly HM. I got all the way to and through Kanto without fly or understanding what anyone was saying. I was gravely disappointed when I couldn't get fly in the spot you got it in Gen 1.
