Spatula City: Oct 21, 2010; LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING

Late to the Charjabug is great party, but it really is, and I have a plush one. I was shocked to find a high quality one at GameStop, and it was the plushest Pokemon plush there. :3:

Also it pisses me off that it evolves from a strong physical attacker to a special attacker. Next time I run through Moon, may just not evolve mine. Very usable anyway.

I wouldn't call 82 ATK a "strong" physical attacker in the post-Gen 5 era. It's weird that it would lose points in ATK going from stage 2 to stage 3 though.

I�m pretty sure 82 is still respectable for a second stage guy ingame, assuming it�s something that�s gonna evolve at some point. And it�s not the weirdest thing in the world, Trapinch loses 30 base attack when it evolves into Vibara and goes back to its base 100 as Flygon. And Volcorona does the same thing. And Litten goes from being a mixed sweeper to a physical tank.

Make me chief gameplay rebalancer of Pokemon, and I pledge to unfuck the Deino line's evolution levels, make Dark resist Fairy, and give Hydreigon Quiver Dance.

Please also make Noibat evolve sooner, it's so incredibly useless until it evolves.

how about make literally every Black/White Pokemon outside the starters evolve at 1/2 the level they do.

Noibat is just as useful as Noivern. They both fill their spots in my living dex box just fine.

Please don't fix anything. Every gen I get a massive kick out of playing "spot the crippling issue" when it comes to using Pokemon introduced in said gen. Like the gen V evolution levels. Or the Gen VII low speed on everything. Or the Gen 2 distribution (okay didn't notice it then but still funny to me).

Wonder what they'll gently caress up in Gen8.

It's an even gen so they'll add something and make it nearly to completely unusable until the postgame (in order: Dark types, evolutions of old Pokemon, Mega Evolutions).

Alolan Raichu, the only one that matters, has a very good speed stat. It also has an ability to double its speed in Electric Terrain. Gotta go fast.

Schubalts: Nov 26, 2007; People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.

Salazzle is faster than Surfchu without its ability active.

And there's Pheremosa if you really want to be cheeky.

Amppelix: Aug 6, 2010

What exactly is the problem with there being lots of slow alolan pokemon? You aren't loving playing competitive on your normal-rear end game playthroughs, slow mons are just fine and actually make the game more interesting because it's harder to completely stomp encounters before they even get a move off.

By the way, if you don't play on SET battle rules you're a coward.

Yup. But it must be stressed out that this is in doubles, and with Intimidate. He's just a way better Arcanine.

It is a really great plush, it is the only one I own (although now that I have one I could see getting another but I don't know which).
