also, realtalk, what loving idiot moron chose not to make it so mr. mimes name becomes mrs. mime if its a girl pokemon

one of the translators used to (maybe still does) post here and they fucken knew mr. mime would cause problems if they ever did genders

whoops they did in the next thing lol

also because it would take extra programming since it's just Barriard in japan or something like that

Also there being only three special fightIng moves, two of those rare (aura sphere, vacuum wave) and the other notoriously unreliable (focus blast).

this isn't really a problem since if you're using a special attack focused blaziken, infernape, or emboar you got brain problems son

ok now heres a question i have: why the gently caress are male and female nidorans seperate pokemon still

we have seen in this very thread that pokemon can and does handle gender-based evolution paths

Ms. Unsmiley
Feb 13, 2012

basically if they change anything major they lose the ability to let people bring their old pokemon forward, and that's a huge part of the appeal for a lot of people.

like say someone wants to transfer their nidoran m into the new game where nidoran m and nidoran f have been combined into a single pokemon, nidoran. how is the game supposed to handle its stats and moveset when they were different before. also it messes up the pokedex, which would probably lead to a bunch of weird glitches because that's what happens, and imagine the outrage when the original 150 becomes 149 instead.

gen 6 introduced a new pokemon that is kind of similar to the nidoran line but it isn't hosed up. espurr evolves into meowstic, which looks different and has different movesets and abilities depending on gender, but is still considered to be the same pokemon (it's also super cute imo).

anyway i guess what i'm trying to say is that i don't know why they are still separate.

Soral
May 30, 2009

that is a lot of bullshit excuses and there is a total incompatibility split between gen 2 and 3 which is where they should have taken their chance to jump on consolidating nidoran and also making mrs. mime but they didnt

and now were 6 generations in and its too late to change anything because nintendo

Ms. Unsmiley
Feb 13, 2012

to this day there are people pissed that they can't port their gen 1/gen 2 pokemon to gen 3 and up and i imagine nintendo really doesn't want to deal with that again 4 gens into first split. this is also why we keep getting new and weirder evolution methods for old pokemon to justify the pokemon not being able to evolve before.

the really hosed up thing about mr. mime is that when it got a pre-evolution in gen 4 they kept that dumb naming scheme so it became mime jr. as if that makes any sense for a pokemon to be named. they knew better at this point and they did it anyway. they're dumb pokemon anyway though so who cares.

Ms. Unsmiley
Feb 13, 2012

also it's probably worth noting that even when the change would be incredibly minor they take forever to fix it anyway. faint attack was introduced in gen 2 and it wasn't until 13 years later with the release of x & y that they finally fixed its name to be feint attack. i think there were a couple other names that were fixed in x & y but i don't remember them offhand. feraligatr is still that instead of feraligator though.

what i did not show was that professor elm also did not give me the SS ticket and i had to use a walk through walls code to get into the boat to kanto. the game is all sorts of messed up at this point and i'm pretty sure it is all stemming from me skipping over those quest flags because i never received the red gyarados

you'll find that i already have if you just read this thread youve posted in (the randomizer made it not a red gyarados (the fact that it was not actually a red gyarados is what broke the flags))

reminder that magcargo, a mediocre and common pokemon, has a body temperature of over 18000 degrees f according to the pokedex.

nintendo


your gym sucked in the first game and isnt much better now


surprisingly not a stretch on the randomizer's part, her last pokemon was a venusaur


the reason why i havent posted in a while is i did a shitload of training (grinding)


first, this



there are a ton of pokemen that i worked on levelling up that im not using just now. in particular i got wormskull up to level 47 but gloom's move pool is kinda weak tbh


three years ago you had your poo poo whipped by a small child


fenrir cleaned up


easy


ok then


:sissies:


she used mostly rock/water types


widestancer did most of the work here with a grass type move i gave her with a tm. i forget what it was called. its pretty good tho


lookin good so far
