Fun fact: Volbeat and Illumise actually have a special interaction where eggs that Illumise lays (or Volbeat breeding with Ditto) can hatch into either species. Tauros and Miltank do not share this interaction.

I am not the child I was when this series first came out and have difficulty remembering new Pokemon names (There's over 800 of the things now!). If I had an issue, it was that they called it Nebby the entire game and I don't remember what the actual name was.

I just want an evil team to have their grand plan explicitly not involve the Legendaries again. Say, they are building a doomsday machine or army and only intersect with the Legendary to get it out of the way.

It would have been neat if they'd allowed Legendaries to breed from the beginning in a way that made in-universe sense (while still not letting you actually make more of the Legendaries if they really thought that would be overpowered).
  • Entei, Suicune, and Raikou would have been treated as a Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon for breeding purposes. (It's a common fan theory that that's what they were before Ho-oh resurrected them.) In other words, they'd make Eevees if female.
  • Mew would have been treated as a Ditto for breeding purposes, except that Mew + Ditto would produce another Ditto.
  • Mewtwo would be always-male, and would be unable to breed with Ditto and Mew (justified by it seeing Mew as a parental figure).
  • Not sure about the various birds. A baby Lugia actually appears in the anime, but the anime writers came up with that after the games came out. Maybe have them produce ordinary Flying-types (e.g., Spearow for Zapdos)? Moltres producing Magby and Zapdos producing Elekid actually makes a bit of sense, but that would imply Articuno producing Smoochum, which would just be weird. I guess the real problem is that there isn't a lot of clear lore to draw on regarding the Kanto legendary birds (the second movie gives them a connection to Lugia, but I don't think there's any direct suggestion that Lugia created them or anything like that).
  • Diancie should, of course, produce Carbink.

In Sun and Moon the evil plan was mostly about Ultra Beasts, which I guess were kinda like legendaries but also kinda not?

Luck is fickle. I hucked a Dusk Ball at a full-HP Mewtwo and caught it first go yesterday. I may have stolen your random number energy.

I caught my Kyogre with my first Ultraball and didn't even need false Swipe or any status affects. Luck is a son of a bitch. I think Rayquaza was only a couple of Ultraballs too.

The game says they are normal pokemon from another dimension, but also implies to even get to ours they have to be powerful mons.

So I guess other-realm pseudo legendary's is pretty accurate.

Stat wise that bears out. Most of them have stats around that range. Of course doesn't that mean they should be breakable? I really don't get why say Poipole can't be bred.

It may have something to do with Wobbuffet and Shadow Tag. In Doubles its mostly dead weight since your opponents can just gang up on Wobb's partner.

I prefer it to the usual reason "is a fire starter". Not a single UB looks as Digimon esque as Blaziken, Infernape, and the dumb psychic fox thing.



Farecoal posted:

Aside from logistics, probably because the rulesets for Doubles are way less dumb. Between official feeling like people that don't play Pokemon or understand balance and Smogon being made by whiny manchildren that can't handle evasion or sleep.

Doubles also adds more strategy move-wise. In addition to all the moves that are explicitly designed for team play like Helping Hand, you've got moves that can hit multiple targets like, say, Razor Leaf.


Vandar posted:

A lot of Ultra Beasts rub me the wrong way design wise because of their , I don't know how to say it, "proportions". Some like Stakataka and Poipole/Nagadanel are cool and look perfectly like Pokemon. But then you get to the Phermosa's and Xurktrees and they just look to... Human? I don't really know the right words, because not every Ultra Beast has this problem, and it's not like their aren't other Pokemon with this problem.
