To add to the Ho/Mizukage thing, the ninjas named after the ninja ranks in Naruto are named wrong, "Juunin" should be "Jonin", so the person behind that couldn't even get that right.

Also why do you fight the ranks in reverse order? Jonin are one of the best, then you fight Chuunin who are basically foot soldiers, and then Genin, basically freshly graduated shmucks? And the Hokage is protected by GENIN?

In Gen 1, they had 110 special, 60 defense, and 65 in two stats and 130 in another. The special split introduced the 95.

So it's been a thing for the entire series.

Flareon drew the short straw and got the 110 in Sp. Def while Vaporeon and Jolteon got it in Sp. Atk

rip Flareon, even in the most minor things you get screwed

Despite the reference to Naruto, Surf Ninjas is probably the best thing going for Uranium in quite some time.

It's also kind of weird to see a gen 6 Pokemon in sprite form, but I guess they have to do that for Mega Evolutions too. Are those already out there for like Showdown or something, or did the creator have to make them?

Pairs up nicely with Sylveon's SuMo entries, at least. :v: (Also I don't know if that's hilariously edgy or morbid-cute, given actual entries include things like "Gengar kills people because it's lonely".)

And yes, the Eeveelution that makes every normal move Stab 4x damage can learn to scream real good. By level-up. It's obscene.

E: yeah, the design's only alright compared to the majority of the awful that populates Uranium's dex. It's at best mediocre as a stand-alone.

Nucleon is just a Sylveon fueled by bullshit"Nuclear." A titanic variety of moves, most of which are now boosted AND x4 effective against most other Pokemon, on a thing with over 100 base Special Attack? Really?

The design is kinda iffy too in my opinion.

Welcome to the only nuclear type in the game worth using, and it's capable of using quick attack and explosion as well.

Most nuclear type pokemon are crap because there's only 3 nonexclusive nuclear damaging attacks and those are crap because they cap at 60 power and most of the pokemon who use them use the wrong attack stat for it.

Nucleon gets everything the others don't, Speed, Power and move variety that the other need but lack.

Nope, it's complete crap because having it means you basically only get STAB on nuclear's equivalent of ember.

Naming convention because all the other versions of that ability had -ate at the end.

Then Sun and Moon broke that "pattern" because Normalizeate and Galvanizeate would have sounded really dumb.

See I kind of have sympathy for Energizate cause it's obvious that what happened is someone came up with "Energize" as the perfect name then was wracked with guilt over it not ending in -ate.

There's no goddamn excuse for Atomizate when Radiate would have worked fine.

the surf ninjas are great, and legit a good way to make a water route more memorable than 'it is a water route with swimmers who use fish'. it's a stupid idea but it's a fun stupid idea and they poke it with the exact amount of frequency to make sure it doesn't overstay its welcome. one encounter to suddenly bring the idea, one to establish 'yes, this is a thing that happens here', one to conclude the concept, and then they just go away.

they don't do surfers enough anyway. have they...have they EVER done surfers on water routes? it seems so obvious and yet i can't recall them, just swimmers.
