Eh, maybe some exclusive move. Attack/Heal Order are completely exclusive to Vespiquen, and I don't think GF is ever going to change that.

My Bug of Choice will always be Volcarona, the solar moth god of my heart. I love fuzzy moths and ol' Volc is about as fuzzy as they get. She hatches my eggs, flies me places, and incinerates my enemies!

In conclusion: Pokemon has many good bugs, and they're all real and strong and my friends. (I've been a fan of bug-types since gen 1, imagine my joy when we finally got really good bugs that weren't obnoxious to get)

Bug is strong against Dark because it's a bug-themed anime hero reference, right?

Best bug is obvioisly the OG Beedrill. Mega Beedrill will always live on in my heart, right next to Mega Lopunny. No matter how hard or how desperately GF tries to rip them out.

You misspelled Butterfree, aka your only hope of beating Brock if you went with Charmander. Then again if you don't go with the water starter in every game you deserve all the pain you get.

Pinsir/Scizor Volcarona/Galvantula/Durant Ribombee always had a Bug in my teams, except in Generation 6 they dropped the ball there what I am saying is This game will hopefully have bugs better than xtremophils

Yeah, but the first gym is the biggest roadblock just because your options are so limited at that point. Later gyms aren't an issue because you'll have more than just normal and bug pokemon at your disposal. Plus Squirtle eventually grows cannons from his back, while Bulbasaur just blooms.

I generally like at least two out of three of the starter set, but I remember being sorely disappointed by Gen... IV I think. Turtwig was great but Piplup was boring and Chimchar was just... no. Gen VI was a blur though, I have to actively try and remember it (I actually had to have a full minute before remembering Chespin, even though I'm a general fan of Chesnaught). I did not have good memories of X/Y, the Gen III remakes saved that generation from being completely blended into Gen V in my memory.

I'd say Gen5 had the worst starters. didnt even have one in my team after I got it to the final form even that's better than what the hell they were going for here though (sucks to be you, grass users)

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Difficulty is kind of hard to test properly especially for things that you want to have take a long time. You don't want your QA team to have to do a two-hour raid every time they need to test something, so you code in shortcuts. It's pretty easy to forget to do a real run before release, especially with how practically every AAA videogame seems to go through a massive amount of "crunch time" during which people are spending so much time at work that they aren't really able to think clearly. Blizzard's also not all that great at listening to what their testers have to say. While Legion is the best expac in a long time, they've been catching hell since day one about their legendary system even though the beta testers told them it was a bad idea and wouldn't work the way Blizzard wanted to implement it. Classes are tuned around having specific legendary gear (insanely rare random drops from doing regular endgame content), making it a lot harder for those who've been unfortunate to stay competitive with the rest of their guildmates or group members. Not only that, but since the pool of legendaries is random, it's entirely possible to get a piece of garbage gear that's useless to you or underperforms an epic piece of gear that is a significantly lower ilevel. On top of all that, there are still people who have gone months without getting a legendary piece of gear. "Bad luck protection" is a phrase that should have never had to exist.

Just reread the first update and saw the built-in "Nuzlocke" mode. I know this is going to sound really, really crazy, but it just stirred this memory I had of some webcomic I saw posted over in the thread in BYOB that chronicled some guy going through each generation... And it was drawn like rear end. I mean, only slightly better than rageface. And I think I'm also remembering something about the author having to cut it off because he was convicted of drug offenses or something like that. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
