The hell is this level progression in Crystal? Around Cinnabar Island the trainers have Pokemon 5-10 levels below the wild Pokemon in the water...

Yeah I learned around the 4th gym that trying to level a full party was a bad idea. I limited myself to 4 Pokemon(with last 2 in my party being HM slaves) and it's been mostly fine since then. Needed a ton of revives for the Elite 4 though since my Pokemon were around 42 at the start. Haven't fought Blue yet but my party should be roughly the same level as his. Then it's the long grind to Red...

My three favorite Pokemon are the triple M: Mawile, Maractus, and Mareanie. They all have the sort of ugly cute that I have a thing for. Anyway, when they said the dex would be halved, I imagined most if not all of those would be left behind, so it's honestly been surprising to have seen them present in the different trailers released on the last few days.

Wait they're cutting Pokemon for space so they can include only the best of the best and the ones most suited to a Galarian climate and they chose to include Maractus?????

Geostomp posted: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. If I recall, the "Z" in "Z-move" actually refers to "Zenith" as opposed to "Zygarde". But yeah, X and Y really would have benefited from a Z version.

Z-moves were never planned for a gen VI game like Pokémon Z; obviously they weren't going to introduce both Z-moves and Mega Evolution in the same gen. All the Zygarde stuff that made it into SM was definitely meant for Z, however.

The Golden Gael posted: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. Legendaries and mythicals being unable to breed is just a game thing to keep you from getting more of them. These beings need a way to propogate themselves in universe, and creatures like Mew are hardly gods. It's just a rare, powerful animal. Obviously the case is probably different for things like the ones that are actual gods like almost every Legendary from Sinnoh, or the ones created by special means like the legendary beasts and the Regis, but something like Mew, Lugia, et all, can probably reproduce no problem.

If a side-game can have unique animations for like 40 pokemon and the 4 moves they can use in it, then why can't Game Freak simply make 65,000 unique animations for every pokemon using every attack in a full game?

You don't have to have unique animations for every single move, but they can still make the animations look better than they do, especially for their first major console mainline game. I don't think it's crazy to expect better from Pokemon  And like it's not like I'm not gonna get the game and play it and enjoy it, but I'm still gonna criticize this aspect of it.

It's not explicitly said, but like, it's an extrapolation based on what we know about the world. Like, if they don't breed, where the hell do these things come from? There's more than one Mew, and there's more than one Shaymin, Zeraora, etc. And even then, in game, something like Lugia isn't really a god-like being, it's just an exceptionally powerful Pokemon that people revered like one. Mew may be exceptionally long lived and rare, but it's more like Bigfoot than it is a mythological creature like Zeus.

Mew may be exceptionally long lived and rare, but it's more like Bigfoot than it is a mythological creature like Zeus. In the context of the game "canon" there is only ever one of the major Pokemon or mythicals per universe. Mew can only ever be caught on the Faraway Island in South America, the rest are giveaways which are of dubious canon. In cases of Pokemon like Ho-Oh and Lugia, we've only seen them roosting in different places (because they're birds) or accessible through portals. Kyogre and Groudon go to the Embedded Tower after their battle to cool off. Portals offer access to other times and dimensions, thus preserving the one-per-universe rule. In the case of Mewtwo, it is assumed to never be caught between generations. The Mewtwo in HGSS is the same one from FRLG, and later moves to Kalos. Only through Giovanni's meddling does it ever appear to be caught. Mew cannot naturally breed, and therefore had to have been artificially impregnated. If we're "extrapolating based on what we know", it makes far more sense for it to have been impregnated with its clone than to assume what we know to be categorically false. In your quest to be right you're missing the forest for the trees. The Golden Gael fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Jul 14, 2019 |

This comes down to how they're portrayed. Mew is basically the in universe version of a cryptid, not a divine entity. It's essentially an animal, so it's not unreasonable to think it's capable of doing animal things. That being said, Pokemon are treated like something different from actual animals and the in universe act of Pokemon procreation is strongly implied to be less biological and more mysterious and mystical. Cynthia herself says that before the event in HGSS, no one had ever seen a Pokemon egg being created, and the Breeders themselves have said that they don't know how the egg got there when they give it to you. Combined with that one NPC in XY who says an Egg is more like a "pokemon cradle", it's more than just a cute way of hiding the fact that the cute collectible animals are doing it, and more a clear indication that Pokemon don't reproduce the same way other creatures do. It'd be really weird if any time two Pokemon decide to have a kid, Arceus himself shows up and does that weird mystical poo poo he did, but the idea of it is hilarious. Especially in the context of chain breeding in the games. "What, AGAIN? Why does ANYONE need this many Grimer?!"

I mean it's just a kind of generic explosion after the bird zips across the screen. Seriously if you told me this was brave bird instead of like...megahorn I'd believe you. The only thing tying this to the move is that it's green like a lot of bug moves are usually. Also you could cut like the first bit of charge up animation and the large explosion at the end and it's be way better cause holy poo poo this is some gen 4 time wasting with animation.

I mean, I like it a lot personally, but I'm mostly saying it's got effort and improved compared to the previous game in that Corviknight actually flies across the screen to strike the opponent and doesn't turn into an amorphous green blob of energy like users of it did in Gens 6 and 7.

Usually we don't refer to the laying of the egg as giving birth. You can submit that eggs weren't a thing in Gen I, but concept art and the programming of the game demonstrates that eggs were at least planned this far back.
