What about Stantler. The only reason I remember it is that it's the most forgettable.

I play the randbats ladder on showdown and Stantler pops up every now and then.

It's cool that such a forgettable Pokémon has one of the best competitive abilities in the game

Apparently Pokeball Plus will be supported, just not as a controller. It will also have a special perk if you put a specific Pokémon in there. That’s some good news at least. I love my Pokeball Plus.

Galian Stantler is Normal/Psychic, but regular Stantler is not in the pokedex.

My guess is that other Pokemon that have the same base stat total also have pre-evolutions. Dugtrio, Marowak, Sunflora, Swoobat and Wigglytuff.

Granted none of these Pokemon are particularly strong (well, Dugtrio has Arena Trap and Marowak has an item that doubles its attack) to begin with, and 425 is lowish.

Although in Gen 7 they increased its base stats to be 455. Still kind of lame but better.

The joke is that tree has textures on par with the N64, and that the benefits of the time/resources they've saved by cutting out a bunch of pokemon are questionable.

speaking as someone who breeds a ton of pokemon with perfect IVs, it's sacrilege :colbert:
(especially, because, ya know, they fixed the main problem with IVs by way of super training. Just make bottlecaps purchasable with BP and they'd be golden. Now all they need is a way to alter the statboost from natures)

But all IVs are adding is unnecessary tedium. Why are they needed? In most circumstances you just want maxed IVs anyways, so why not make that the default? (And just find another way to set HP type.)

I don't think the textures in SwSh are anything impressive, but then, neither were a lot of the ones in Breath of the Wild, and regardless, both ended up looking pretty crappy when viewed through the lens of a screen-cap that was taken from a low quality twitch or youtube stream.

Matsuda: "he primary reason we are cutting mons is for balance, we will also spend more resources on representing the pokemon included"

Armchair Game Directors: "LOOK AT THE TEXTURES AND ANIMATION"

I get that it sucks but they literally said the primary reason is balance and gameplay related so the textures and animations prove nothing.

it doesn't actually matter what is or isn't the case because either way it means we get the fun of watching a bunch of utterly joyless people go out of their way to endlessly pick apart every single aspect of everything we see until release later this year in regards to anything related to the game, and they're going to make sure we know what they think about it no matter what our stance on it all is
