A 3d model is just a list of numbers indicating position and other related stuff in 3d space. There’s no way for them to ‘not work’ on different hardware that wouldn’t be easier/cheaper to resolve with a converter, so that excuse is total poo poo anyway.

Yet you can still get a virtually endless number of them in almost every game. I think the only games where you need to trade for a Ditto is Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum and XD. Four out of 32 Pokemon games. Where all these Pokémon come from is probably one of the biggest mysteries yet no one bothers to ask. How does 16 X 16 patch of grass contain potentially millions of Pokémon? Zuzie fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Jul 13, 2019 |

Pidgeot is bad because it's an early game 'mon from Gen I, and they expected you to abandon it as soon as something better came along (in this case Dodrio and then probably one of the legendary birds or Aerodactyl). It wasn't until Gen III that they starting making early route birds actually be good.

It was? I like Swellow but I thought the first one to be considered viable in its own generation was Staraptor. Gen III was all about stall and Swellow just doesn't have the power to break walls; and what's more, status orbs didn't exist back then to activate Guts.

Swellow was in the "designed for double battles" group of Gen 3.

It's UUBL which is more almost viable but yeah Skarm/Tress especially just stops it from working. Either way it puts it leagues ahead of Pidgeot and Noctowl and still pretty far above Fearow

Swellow still isn't great but it has a gimmick and when it works, it hits pretty hard, and it's got great speed too. It's a huge step-up from Gen I and Gen II's birds, even if it wasn't on Staraptor's level.

I'm not talking about Swellow now, I'm talking about Swellow then. In Gen III it just didn't seem like he had all the tools that modern Swellow has to pull his own weight, as those particular items didn't exist yet.

It didn't have all the tools it has now, but it still had tools, is what I'm saying. Pidgeot and Fearow and Noctowl didn't really have anything going for them, but Swellow at least had Guts + Facade in it's favor. It was a large step up from before.

It just doesn't seem very reliable. But I guess it is a step up from the combination of Keen Eye and lovely stats.

It was UUBL in gen3, but also UUBL was large as hell in gen3. EDIT: that said it's biggest problem was still that Dodrio was more reliable and I'm not sure if having the orbs would have helped with that Waterfall of Salt fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Jul 14, 2019 |

Nodosaur posted:Notice that none of those statements mentioning anything about the most important part of cloning, which is inserting an embryo. Everything in those entries still fits the explanation that they did stuff to Mew, and Mewtwo was the result of it. Within Red and Green, there's seven months between the naming of Mew and the birth of Mewtwo. It isn't Mew who was tampered with - explicitly, the offspring of Mew is the only thing tampered with, as per the Pokedex entries. The diary only states, another seven months later, that the Pokémon Mewtwo is far too powerful. The author laments it cannot be controlled.

That still doesn't sound like it involves anything that can be considered cloning

You take a zygote, you suck the DNA out of the nucleus, you insert the DNA of the organism you want to clone, you implant the zygote into the surrogate mother for gestation. Cloning and birth can go together.

It's not noteworthy to point out its DNA is similar to Mew's if it is merely a child of the species. Since Mew cannot naturally breed, it must be assumed that Mew had been somehow impregnated artificially, with said embryo being manipulated into the vicious state. This would be a clone. Origins confirms this depending on how you interpret that in relation to the games. Game Freak believed having Pokemon outright stated to be clones was too controversial around the GS era, which would likely have been the case in the RB era as well. An interview with a magazine confirms this. The intent is there in all but writing for Mewtwo throughout the games. The ironic thing is that we all truly learned about cloning through the PC glitch in Gold and Silver.

Pokémon Red and Blue were developed during the the time when Jurassic Park was hugely popular, so that had a huge influence on how genetics work within the Pokémon universe.

I acknowledge it's a little late to be complaining about it, but having just started a re-play of X I'm peeved we're never getting Z Version. I want to race on the Rhydon race-course dammit! The plot is practically taunting me with how it's meant to have a Platinum style re-write. Every three feet there's an empty spot with a "Reserved for Z Version Content" sign put up. It's maddening. No other gen was so blatantly designed with a third version in mind, yet it's the one that doesn't get it.

I remember not particularly caring because Lysandre didn't really thrill me as a villain but I do agree Z teasers are all over the loving place.

I guess they wanted all hands on deck for Sun and Moon, which was basically being released during Pokémon's 20th anniversary. So they moved Zygarde's plot from Gen 6 and awkwardly placed it in Sun and Moon.

Why else would the special gimmick be called “Z-moves” or Zygarde get its form gimmick in a set of games with nothing to do with its supposed trio partners. There’s also all the mysteriously incomplete areas of Kalos that never get used. That and the weak story of the Kalos games never getting much resolved.
