So are they not doing any new mega evolutions? If not I think that's a huge mistake since it'd do a lot to broaden the meta. Also does anyone know if the Alola forms have higher stats or just the same base stat total but rearranged? Also I really want this to be real.

Zoness posted:yeah give it resistances to common attacking types such as poison, grass, and psychic. Ice definitely needs resistances but those types are already some of the most resisted in the game, it wouldn't be fair to them. IMO ice needs to resist water (they'd be mutually resistant like but and fighting) and while we're at it, remove the fairy type's resistance to bug, fairy has enough resistances as it is and bug types were just starting to get good in gen5 but gamefreak had to ruin it.

Houle posted:I went a little overboard but I'm not too surprised at most of this list. I finally finished breeding and raising my last team until Sun/Moon. I'm hoping that the 20 or so perfect Iv pokemon that I've trained aren't too irrelevant. Hell, I hope I can still use Y as my bank for stat-up drugs, Ruby for breeding, then Sun for topping off IV stats. All solid choices except for moltres. lezard_valeth posted:To this I forgot to add I seriously don't understand this opinion. If they kept every non core feature in every game and never got rid of any of them the games would be an unwieldy mess and overall quality would suffer. Seriously what are you expecting? It takes a ton of work to implement things like Pokemon that follow you and it'd take ages to animate them all in 3D. One of the only features that would be reasonable to expect that they didn't include was trainer customization in ORAS. Are you saying that you'd even want Pokemon musicals to be carried over to gen 6?

Johnny Joestar posted:it's mirroring an event that actually happened in hawaii. farmers brought in mongoose to help get rid of the rat population that was booming but the rats were nocturnal and the mongoose isn't, so Reading the Alola form descriptions, I'm actually kind of impressed with how they seem to have constructed an ecology around them instead of just saying "it has something to do with magic stones from a meteor, no one knows for sure." Brick Shipment posted:I'm the same, except the other way around. Lucario always looked goofy as poo poo to me and I never understood where the cool factor was coming from, but zoroark is good. Yeah I don't get what Lucario's deal is. He looks kind of like Anubis but that doesn't explain the spikes and steel typing. Are those supposed to be the nails used to crucify Jesus? Zoroark has some flaws, like weird color distribution and a profile that was obviously designed with only certain angles in mind, but it's a really solid concept, unlike Lucario. Ka0 posted:Zoroark and Lucario are both in the deviantart furry egg group. It is very difficult for me to justify using them. I like Zorua a lot and wish Zoroark looked less like one of these sharkwolf things that furries invented. Pomplamoose fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Sep 2, 2016 |

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Also for that poster that wanted some examples of good/bad digimon designs Thanks for the list! Are you saying the large looking bishop mon evolves into the smaller king mon? Does that happen often in digimon? Also I actually kind of like how fangmon still manages to look cartoony despite how hosed up it is. quote:They're going for a different look than Pokémon, where they're not as afraid to go too far and make it machine, attach a non-natural looking part to the creature or put clothes on a design to help it out (see Chesskingmon) but that really backfires a lot of the time. Pokemon designs are slowly opening up to that idea as well, with Sawk and Throh and the arm shield Tiki Island Gods. Digimon can be cool, but it's usually in a totally different direction than Pokemon so I've never understood any of the comparisons between perceived bad Pokemon designs and really any digimon. Dabir posted:Sukamon Lol is that Rat Fink? Also, back to megachat, it still surprises me how good Charizard Y looks considering how good the original still is and how it's in the "stick some extra parts on it" category of mega evos.

cancerianmoth posted:I know a lot people don't like it- but I think Mega-Manectric looks awesome. Reminds me of those old cartoon tropes of a flat character. From the side they are visible, but face on the disappear. haha. Also, it has a giant bolt on its back. Mega-Ampharos is also ridiculous, but I actually don't like how it looks. I love Mega Manectric, it's a huge improvement over the original. Although I'd say it's a more dramatic change than the "stick some things on it" kind since it takes up so much space and drastically alters the profile. I think it could pass for an actual evolution, and I'd want it to be if it's base ability wasn't so useful to have in doubles. Mega Ampharos is more of the "glued on" type of mega and those are more hit or miss, but yeah I think Ampharos' design is funny but not good where Manectric's is both funny and good. I'd say mega Aerodactyl is easily the worst and is just Aerodactyl with some pointy rocks glued on.

It'd be really weird and sort of against the whole spirit of the series if you had to fight a creature you couldn't also catch and use yourself. I know Pokemon wasn't the first RPG where you could recruit monsters and have them fight for you, but it may have been the first where all of them could be controlled.* *I'm probably wrong

Ice is a great attacking type but there's not really an incentive to BE ice type since it sucks defensively. The only ones with a useful number of resistances are Walrein and Mamoswine, and only if they have Thick Fat. Oh yeah, and Froslass being part ghost helps too. And while Abomasnow has a ton of weaknesses it can still switch into a few things thanks to grass typing. I don't know why Gamefreak doesn't think this is a problem and also why do they keep making ice types with such high defensive stats? Cloyster  Regice  Cryogonal  Avalugg

Yeah that's not bad, but I wonder what it's base stats will be. I'm guessing the same total as ground sandslash, but redistributed. Here's the original:  So I'm think it'll be something like 75 HP 100 Attack 110 Defense 30 Special Attack 105 Special Defense 30 Speed
