Am I the only one who finds it weird that Sceptile has significantly more Sp. Attack than Attack despite its signature move, Leaf Blade, being physical? EDIT: Oh, Gen 3 was before the Physical/Special split. Still kinda weird that they gave it Lightning Rod as its Mega Evo ability but whatever.

Inspired by recent talk in this thread about good vs. bad anime episodes, my top 10 favorite Kanto episodes, in no particular order:
Honorable mentions for Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, Electric Shock Showdown (the one with Lt. Surge), The Ninja Poke-Showdown, and Showdown at Dark City (the Yojimbo one). And my top 10 least favorite:
I actually had to stretch a bit to find 10 I really disliked, although there are a couple (like The Problem with Paras and Make Room for Gloom) that fall into the same "meh" category as To Master the Onix-pected. I guess Kanto was better than I remember. Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Apr 30, 2019 |

Cutting the Farfetch'd evolution was hands down the best decision made in the development of Gold and Silver.

Crosscontaminant posted:Cutting the Farfetch'd evolution was hands down the best decision made in the development of Gold and Silver. Is your issue with the design (which is a bit overly suggestive - not that that stopped Game Freak from giving us Lopunny and Salazzle) or with the idea of Farfetch'd evolving (because you consider Farfetch'd being useless to be )?

Farfetch'd's is based on a Japanese idiom about a surprisingly convenient coincidence. In this case, a wild duck that comes with its own seasoning. Or it can be read as being easy to con. Basically the whole point of its character is that it seems like a good deal, but in reality, it isn't. It's role in Red and Blue is that you're basically giving up a Spearow (which can evolve into a much stronger Fearow) for a weak Pokémon who'll remain weak. Then there's the whole issue of Game Freak just increasing its stats in Gen 6 so that its attack stat is now 90 and changing how Critical Hits work so that Farfetch'd can abuse that. X and Y also turned the situation on its head where you can make a trade for a Farfetch'd like in Red and Blue... Only to find out that its actually at least useful against the first gym leader (who happens to be a Bug type specialist). Zuzie fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Apr 30, 2019 |

Or it can be read as being easy to con. So essentially the reverse of Magikarp - a pokemon that seems useless at first, but evolves into something awesome if you have the patience to build it up. Only this one actually is a bum deal. Though it seems like there's too many pokemon that seem to be there for a silly gimmick and aren't actually useful (Unown, for example). Pokemon can have a gimmick and still be viable in play - like Eevee and its evolutions, most of which are pretty strong for their type.

Hidden Pokémon in OR/AS is a really great mechanic but I wish you were immune to wild battles while sneaking so you didn’t have to use repels. Super Training is also really cool but seems like it’d still be faster to just grind on wild Pokémon. Amie is just as ridiculous as it is in S/M. I think I’ll just leave my Pokémon at level 2 for the boosted exp RatHat fucked around with this message at 09:45 on Apr 30, 2019 |

Are Celebi in Crystal Virtual Console and Deoxys in OR/AS the only "legit" ways to get mythical Pokemon at the moment? EDIT: Also if DexNav isn't in Sw/Sh Gamefreak is dumb RatHat fucked around with this message at 10:26 on Apr 30, 2019 |

You can also get Mew from the Pokéball Plus, Magearna from the QR code for SM/USUM, and Meltan for LGPE from Go.

Ah right I forgot about Let's Go. Can you even transfer from Let's Go to the main games right now though?

LGPE *are* mainline games. But if your question is if you can transfer Meltan/Melmetal back to SM/USUM then no, they didn't exist in those yet. It's similar to how the ORAS Megas and Hoopa Unbound can't be sent to XY, and Zeraora and the new UBs from USUM can't be sent to SM.

Sure, that's a lot of effort for breeding a mon that would still be useless in competitive, but he can go toe-to-toe with most things in the story and be a valuable member of the team.

Well, they can never say they ran out of cards anymore. And sending the QR code should be simple enough. That still doesn't loving explain why they don't use the wi-fi delivery system they've had for several generations but I guess I shouldn't even think about it at this point.

Just read the headline, so sorry if it's in the article, but what is the point of giving out shiny Pokemon in the game where getting one legitimately is the easiest it's ever been? I have 6 shiny Pikachu there.

Random anime thought: The Murkrow that gives you the password in GSC was a missed opportunity for the anime. They could have had a subplot where a snarky talking Murkrow hangs out with Butch and Cassidy, proclaiming himself Meowth's rival, and then Murkrow turns out to be a spy for Karen of the Elite Four and gives Lance the password. Murkrow could occasionally show up in future regions to give messages to Lance or Looker, and there would be a running gag of Meowth being hypocritically angry at Murkrow for being underhanded and obsessed with shiny things. Murkrow could even get his own boss fantasies involving the Elite Four instead of Giovanni. ...Actually, all that sounds so much like the sort of thing the anime writers would come up with I'm a little surprised they didn't.
