Given how Gen V and VI showed that it’s fine to make a gimmick has practically nothing to do with your type, I assume that teleporter mazes are the result of a spectacularly uncreative gym leader.

The quiz Trick Houses are dumb. They ask stuff like “In this gym are there more men or women?” and “How many signs are in Lilycove City?”. Who would get these without guessing?!

You know what's way better than having a couple memorable bad guy lieutenant characters to fight? Fifty identical goons armed with one Pokemon each that you fight one at a time.

Farecoal posted:Idea for a Pokemon game: You start out as a member of an evil Team, your starter Pokemon is one out of the three (?) options of Pokes commonly used by the Team. Eventually you realize what you're doing is evil, you become good, etc. This was my Ultra Moon run. My character had washed out of Team Skull and only used Pokemon used by Team Skull. At every opportunity, buy the clothes that best matched the Grunt uniforms.

this pacing is so hosed up. I saved the world, destroyed a genocidal secret organization, defeated, freed, and captured a god, met a 3,000 year old king who told me his sad life story. But I still have to slog through a new route, go to a new town for the sole purpose of having a conversation, and then slog through another route to get to the final gym. Just let me go directly to the final gym and prove that I'm the best there ever was, I don't want to be doing this petty poo poo after while I literally have a god in my purse.

Idk, zubat is annoying just because of quantity, so adding other mons into the catch pool is good enough usually. Tentacool is just a garbage Pokemon so I'll agree there. Actually, what's everyone's opinion on who the weakest Pokemon are(aside from unevolved Pokemon)? Been thinking of doing a run of one of the GBA games using the worst Pokemon.

Luvdisc, Unown, Delibird, Ledian, Macargo and Dustox maybe? Please don't actually do it though. That would be painful.

I've been dragging these Pokemon around from the days of Sapphire. I've got everything from X/Y on down but I haven't played Sun/Moon. I see that the Ultra games added new Pokemon in the middle of this generation, and so did the Let's Go games? If I get Ultra Sun, will those two (Meltan?) from Let's Go be the only ones not available eventually, including online trades?

Is Burmy/Wormadam useful in game? It looks cute, but I've been burned by Liepard before... Edit: I decided to restart XY to use some mons I've never used before.

Wormadam is real bad. Mothim is okay though.

The Burmy line may hold the record for sheer number of gimmicks in one family. Too bad they’re still pretty useless.

YaketySass posted:Doesn't Flying double as "the Bird type" though? Most, but not all, birds are Flying. There's a notable few that aren't. The whole Torchic and Empoleon lines, Decidueye, Tapu Koko, and less obviously the Porygon, Magmar, and Spritzee lines. There's not a great deal of them but enough you could have a whole team of them.

Lati@s could be birds too, but they are more planes and dragons (which to be fair are based on birds). They are notable in that they fly everywhere but aren't a Flying type. Meanwhile Luigi which is a giant Glaucus atlanticus who lives at the bottom of the sea is a Flying type????????

Is their some hidden checkpoint in the story that tells him to be even more annoying?
