Damn I need a drink...


The internet loves to whine about Fire/Fighting starters but I'll take that over goddamn pure Fire any day of the week. Hell, make a non-starter Fire/Fighting so they can do something with its non-hidden abilities.

E: And the main ones bitch about Stealth Rocks, too. Ya know what fire types aren't weak to Stealth Rocks? Fire/Fighting (and /rock and /ground, but they got other problems)!

You need lots of space in your bag and it's not like they have the technology to compress matter down to a fraction of its size using small portable capsules or anything.

I was about to correct you, but then I looked it up, and holy poo poo, Fighting-types resist Rock moves. I seriously thought it was normal damage for all these years.

Doesn't mean much. Between XY and SM, we got four separate Grass/Ghost lines.

Japan and other cultures have a lot of associations with spooky poo poo and forests. One's a solo pokemon so I wouldn't really count it as a line and Decidueye's the final evolution so that doesn't really count as a line either. Still, it's a lot of Grass Ghost types compared to a lot of other combinations. There's no Ghost/Rock as an example.

My point was that we had six individual Grass/Ghost types within two gens, when the type had never been represented before.

We have a Dark/Fairy announced for SS, but there's nothing stopping them from adding another if they wanted.

For Buffs, it goes 1.5x original, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x, and 4x.

For debuffs, it goes 2/3rds original, 2/4ths, 2/5ths, 2/6ths, 2/7ths, and 2/8ths.

For Accuracy and Evasion it's basically the same, you just start at 3/3 instead of 2/2. Well, for Gen 5+ at least.

I got my kicks in Join Avenue, the Nimbasa Stadiums/Courts, PWT (If you really hate yourself, only use your story team) and of course scouring the corners of the region for pokemon you' haven't caught yet
