So I'm fiddling with randomizers again.
Soul Silver this time.
Things I learned: Messing with Pokemon types is dumb because it turns every fight into a guessing game.
I want to restart now. Shame I didn't come to this conclusion before I spent too much time cheating at Voltorb flip.

I played through Yellow randomized recently and I only randomized the starter (I got Zapdos, rival got ... Mewtwo), wild pokes, trainer pokes, items and TM's but left types, stats and moves alone. I feel when you start to randomize the move pools and types and so on the game just isn't that fun anymore.

So, Beta Pokémon Gold 1997. Were movesets or stat spreads discovered for the unreleased Pokémon? I know at least a few of them must have something in place, but I haven't found anything about it.

Stat spreads were all documented on that spreadsheet with everything, but many of them were placeholder flat 50s (not all though!).

It's on the "Base Data" tab of this sheet, along wit TM/HM learn flags. There don't appear to be level-up learnsets though.

I need help understanding the mechanics of the Stored Power move, and how boosting affects stack up the damage counter!

What kind of boosts will add to the ++ counter? So if I use something like Bulk Up, is that adding a +2 or just +1 for the attack? What if I do, say, a Minimize (+2 evasion) and a Calm Mind (+1 SpA/SpD), is that gonna add a +4 total to Stored Power damage or will it just be the +2?

Also how much damage does each boost add?

Pheromosa's Special Attack rose!
it adds 20 power for each one stage boost to any stat. swords dance would add 40, coil would add 60, etc.

a simple swoobat eating(?) an electric seed and using calm mind instantly has a 140 bp stored power and must be stopped

Sometimes Serebii.net's IV calculator frustrates me. I'm plugging in a bunch of random Pokemon in my box that I've never used before and it keeps telling me their stats are apparently impossible. Stop being stupid, Serebii. :argh:

I like Penny Arcade, think it looks good, and agree with the sentiment in the comic. Pokémon Go loving suuuuuuucks. Let's remove: Battling, levelling up through training, a story, trading (until like, last month), and let's take it a step further and make you grind your caught Pokémon into candy to strengthen your existing 'mons. It sucks.

Penny Arcade still cool, though.

Hey now, there is battling in Go. It is poo poo, but it is there. Go is a lot better when you treat it as a neat little gizmo rather than a game. Also Squirtle Squad

The art style in Penny Arcade used to be fine, but then the artist just didn't know when to stop and went overboard with stylization.

As much as I don't like how Penny Arcade looks, the guy's been doing this for like 20 years, and most strips only have the two characters. I can't blame him for wanting to go to a different place with the art.

I hope gen 8 has a full national dex so I can read whatever canon some intern makes about how Mega Altaria is even fluffier and friendlier than regular Altaria and likes nothing more then getting pets and hugging people with its big fluffy wings.

The problem with a national dex at this point is you have more pokemon in it than box slots.
