seriously though i hope they patch totk so that the actual goddamn pilotable robot you get isn't so useless against the late game enemies they make you fight with it. having silver enemies again was such a mistake, would rather have big groups of lower tier ones to blow up would also like if they patched it to move faster and have a wider range of interactions with different tools, it's very sad how by the time you get it you have a dozen vehicles at your disposal that do the same job with better mobility and funny ideas like giving it springs to make it bounce around don't actually work. also how much energy it eats up, i feel bad for people who didnt focus on upgrading their energy well cause that thing eats up so much power for how slow it moves and how little damage it does. also please let me fire both arms on it at once that feels like a thing you should be able to do and it would make it a lot cooler and more useful The Colonel fucked around with this message at 15:48 on May 18, 2023 |

Pokemon has always had hosed up entries in the Pokedex, like Cubone wearing its dead mother's skull and the various eldritch horror ghost/psychic type entries.

Why can't we get actual bad teams anymor? The hooligan team from swsh didn't even glass anybody. How does troubleshooter play on the steam deck? I shouldprobablygive that another shot now that xcom is dead forever.

Even modern Pokemon has a lot of really hosed up Pokedex stuff. Tinkatuff/Tinkaton beat Bisharp and Corviknight to death to make their hammers out of them. Or Nacl which hunts prey by slowly salting it while alive and desiccating it to death.

that one is especially funny because tinkaton is a terrible matchup against corviknight which just makes it cooler

Though they make up for it by the main villain actively destroying the timeline and the ecosystem for the sole reason of "wanted to see cool pokemon", to the point where they have a loving automatic defense system in place that tries to kill anyone who tries to shut down the time machine.

More Mimics should be skeletons popping out of the box and hitting you in the head instead of just a treasure chest with teeth.

TurnipFritter posted:More Mimics should be skeletons popping out of the box and hitting you in the head instead of just a treasure chest with teeth. The spin-off(s) had doors with teeth in Gate Fangs that looked like normal doors in the dungeon, except when you opened one there'd just be a gaping maw instead of a room, it was kind of messed up.  In hindsight I'm surprised they didn't bring the concept to the Souls games, force people to hit every door before opening it like with chests.
