I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


It's been established that Game Freak tends to view a lot of their features as one-off experiments that are to be abandoned before moving onto another new feature for the next game. Its only if the feature ends up being a true quality of life improvement, a large enough fan outcry or it happens to be vital for something's evolution (and not even then with the case of Feebas's evolution) that the feature ends up staying.

Mods can we get probes for people bitching about people discussing the Pokedex situation?

It's entirely appropriate to discuss in the Pokémon Thread, and the handful of people getting upset it's being discussed are making GBS threads up the thread.

TIA

Ah and then this thread truly can be poo poo forever.

I think there are people here who don't actually like Pokémon and were just hanging on by a thread, and Sword and Shield, the coolest-looking Pokémon game to date, broke them and sent them over the edge. I don't know how so many players could have high expectations for Game Freak while simultaneously thinking they've been terrible for over a decade and expecting trash from them.

Here's what the thread's been for the past month, nonstop:

"Dexit bad."

"Dexit bad but I think the excuses are reasonable."

"Dexit bad and Game Freak is lazy."

"Dexit bad and another original joke about an unpopular Pokemon being culled."

"Dexit bad but we all need to chill."

"Dexit bad and Game Freak should be blown up lol jk"

"Dexit bad but so are the people who are threatening staff."

"Dexit bad but no one here's saying that."

"Dexit bad and any one who is annoyed with this convo is a capitalist pig."

Then someone finally changes the topic for half a page followed by

"Dexit bad."

I will literally take any other topic. Please give me a ten page argument about the best starter. I'm begging you.

Starter Pikachu gets so hosed over compared to the starter Eevee that I can't help but feel sorry for it and like it more.

I mostly agree, except Infernape (who is awesome). I really don't care for any of the Gen 5 starters and Blaziken weirds me out. Maybe our new rabbit friend can evolve into something cool.

Also Incineroar isn't off the hook either, even though he's Dark and not Fighting.

No, because Alcremie is cute. :colbert:

We just need more diverse dessert Pokemon. A pie Pokemon. A brigadeiro Pokemon. A cinnamon roll Pokemon. I don't know why the gently caress we didn't get a croissant one when we had the chance. Or a macaron one.

Really I went for Pikachu out of nostalgia. LGPE is a nostalgic game to begin with so I have no shame, and unless you're playing online I think starter Pikachu is fine. I know that starter Eevee has better moves and coverage, but cute/nostalgia won out.
