Like I prefer singles but its clearly not what they're designing mons and moves around so why not go whole hog with it and maybe they can design a single player with some teeth.

As long as items are usable single player will never have any significant teeth. Not that that's a bad thing, mind, no items in battle just feels right as a personal restriction.

indigi posted:or have the first 3 gyms be singles and the rest are doubles On this note, Just like they’ve had one off Doubles Gyms a few times (or at the gym leader was doubles) they should take it to the next level next game. Make each gym (or at least the leader) use a different battle style in addition to their type. A double gym, a triple gym, a rotation gym (I’m not ripping off the chateau girls they weren’t gym leaders), a reverse battle gym, uhhh.. crap I need more ideas. I’d say a Sky battle gym but I can’t with a straight face. Rental Battle? Not sure how that would work in a gym context though.

Augus posted:shinies should get a single extra base stat point over non-shinies, to drive people insane Back in the 3/DS days when I was still using an Action Replay to hack in mons I didn't want to wait until post game to actually be able to raise, I noticed that a lot of Shiny pokemon had to have terrible IV scores in order to pass as legitimate. Not sure if that's still the case, but, your post reminded me of that and it amused me.

It's not but in the GSC days IVs actually determined Shiny-ness or not, along with other traits, which lead weird quirks like it was impossible to have a shiny B Ukown or a shiny female of anything with a 70/30 gender ratio.

All my shinies have great IVs because I had a bottle cap enthusiast train them in the mountains to overcome their genetic defects.

In the 3ds era personality values only affect if a pokemon is shiny and nothing else. In gen 4 though it affected their nature/ability/gender/a bunch of other cosmetic stuff

ok since it is wild and wacky ideas time - an ability that sets Wonder Room when the pokemon enters play. - an ability that sets Magic Room when the pokemon enters play. - an ability that sets Trick Room when the pokemon enters play. This is on its face overpowered, so it would have to be balanced by giving it only to pokemon that either aren't actually all that slow, or are otherwise bad (bad stats/typing/movepools) - an ability that's like Intimidate but it lowers Defense rather than Attack. - a new Room move that changes the battle to become an Inverse Battle for a set number of turns. - change the multiplier for type effectiveness from 2 to √3. - critical hits either do √3 times the damage or ignore all stat changes - whichever results in more damage.

most berries suck because it's too uncertain whether the conditions for them to take effect will actually arise. Make them get eaten the first time the pokemon is hit with a move, regardless of how much damage it does. Except for the defense and special defense ones, those should just get eaten immediately. That one ability can be changed so it makes the berry's effect better somehow, i don't really care.

Caught terapogos last night so my “binge to get to post-game” quest from xmas is now over. I wasnt sure on Teras at first but now I love it. I must have a real broken brain because I’m already trying to convince myself that this time game freak will actually carry a power gimmick over to the next gen. Stupid poo poo like “well them showing that you can tera in other regions by installing an artificial tera ballsack means game freak wants to keep teras around permanently.” Why do i keep doing this to myself gen after gen 😞

How much online/multiplayer content is needed to get everything in the DLC? I've been considering getting it since I never bothered with SwSh's DLC and I'm falling behind on my living Pokedex project, but just booting up the game again today to make sure I got Walking Wake and Iron Leaves before they go away again, I'm reminded of how buggy and nonsensical the online raids are and how unpleasant I find them to be.

you need some group BBQs to get all 25 legendary treats in the postgame but Union Circles function pretty well relative to Tera Raid lag and you’ll probably want to do group stuff anyway since it goes literally a hundred times faster than doing ‘em alone. other than that you could single-player offline raid any evolutions you don’t want to bother with in order to fill your Pokédex, and of course people here would be happy to trade exclusives (or shuffle guys over from Home)

You just gotta eliminate Acrobatics as a move. Nah, this would still be broken as hell with the current berries available.

You can do everything except catch version exclusives and some of the past-gen legendaries without ever going online, and the latter don't have dex entries if that makes a difference. Earning enough Blueberry points to unlock the starters on your own is a tedious grind, but you can knock them out pretty fast if you group up with goons, which is a lot less terrible than online raids, and also how you unlock the other past legendaries.

I think all I have left to do is the Union Circle stuff to get the last Legend Snacks and finish battling all the coaches and doing their trades…which, yeah. It’s gonna take a while. And I need to trade for the two Violet exclusives to finish the ‘dex. Will probably hop on Discord tonight to beg for trades and BBQ help.

Encountering past legendaries is always funny to me. I mean, in RSE, Groudon and Kyogre showing up was a literal catastrophe. The global map was in danger of needing a drastic redraw as continents rose and fell rapidly. Now there's some guy who's all "Yeah, I saw Groudon hanging out in a cave the other day, just eatin' some snacks." That said, I do appreciate SwSh and being able to have Groudon on my team before my first gym battle, just because I like having my team "complete" before the post game.

Was playing platinum today trying to tie up some loose ends to transfer out of bank before the deadline. And my jaw dropped to the floor when I got two shiny Gligar in a row. Then a third spawned and I knew something was afoot. Today I learned that in Platinum and in no other game, Gligar is blue instead of purple, in fact the same blue as it’s shiny.
