I don't understand why transferring Pokemon between your party and the PC takes so many steps. Couldn't I just withdraw a Pokemon and have it ask which one I want to swap it for?

Move should let you swap easily. Dunno why withdraw and deposit even still exist.

As of Gen 7 I'm pretty sure they don't, interacting with a PC takes you straight to Move Pokemon. The thing I'd most like to see here is an option to insert a Pokemon into a position and have everything below shift down, instead of swapping. I like to keep things ordered by level to keep EXP even and it takes like 4 swaps sometimes.

That's.... what they're saying. Prior to the phy/special split all the elemental punches were Special. All of typh's coverage moves save Extrasensory are now Physical moves.

I still want a Mega Aegislash that’s just a suit of ghostly armor holding the sword and shield.

I guess they could use that idea for an Armored Aegislash.

i hope in gen 8 they include like, bred pokemon inherit the father's signature move even if it's not on their move list. mystic fire eevee wouldn't even be that powerful but it would be cool

It has the five moves it needs: Leaf Storm, Leech Seed, Substitute, Glare, and Hidden Power.

I got an idea: you have each one fight as many random battles as possible without any healing and whichever one wins the most fights stays.

I've genuinely yet to see anybody (myself included) appreciate having that Lucario foisted off onto them. I'm serious, why the gently caress did they think it was a good idea? I mean the whole point of the game is building the team you want from scratch.

I even LIKE Lucario and have used it on several teams and I hated the gift.

I don't like not raising my 'mons from their prevo and I want to use new 'mons only in new gens.

And I still ended up using Lapras and Venusaur in X. (In my defense, it was at least the first time I ever used Lapras.)

I guess it's to make sure you have a pokemon that can mega evolve immediately, but they could have worked that into the kanto starter thing a bit more gracefully.

It sucks so much. The game did cinematic camera angle to show off this awesome huge tower, you aren't allowed to go up it until you beat the gym, and then you travel up this long spiral ramp to get to the top. That's a lot of buildup. And then you don't get to use any of your own Pokemon, and the fight is over in two turns.

It's also a terrible way to introduce Mega Evolutions. Alpha Sapphire did it great, you Mega evolve you're starter so it's like, wow look how much stronger it is! But you don't get to fight with Lucario before you get the mega evolution. And it's fighting another mega evolved Lucario. And the fight is short and sucks. There's no sense of strength or escalation or anything.

And this lady has been travelling around with two Lucarios and didn't nickname them? She just called them "this Lucario" and "Than Lucario"? No wonder one of them ran away.

Just completely terrible.

it's an even worse idea because if you want a lucario there's riolus on like route 2 so you already fuckin have one

It seems you're supposed to press mega evolve and then mash a to beat the rest of the game.

But yeah, that whole sequence is pretty bad. Extra so because this is the third gym and you're already walking with effective nukes forced upon you.
