And Conkeldurr and Unfezant look crap compared to Machamp and Pidgeot.

I think Oranguru's move that has its teammate attack again is going to be a big deal though. Imagine M-Kanga or M-Mence getting 2 attacks per turn. :gonk:

The nickname possibilities for Oranguru are endless. You could go with the comic book monkey baddies (Gorilla Grodd, etc), you could go with Planet of the Apes or you could go with Far East Philosopher

That just seems absolutely incredibly broken doesn't it? Two quakes in one turn? Two dazzling gleams? Two surfs? Yikes

oranguru probably has poo poo speed and a turn using instruct is a turn where it's vulnerable

They banned multiple baton passers on one team and passing speed plus anything else. So you can pass speed or attack/sp. Attack/def/sp. Def

oh okay, could've sworn it was multiple speed boosts period but i haven't paid too much attention to gen 6 singles meta

The term 'degenerate' for thing I don't like is something made popular by weirdo alt right creepers and /pol/ posters usually aimed at People Who Are Not Straight White Dudes.

Don't spread that poo poo.

it's also used not uncommonly when talking about game balance and how it informs the strategies players make for awhile now

don't stop yourself from using a perfectly innocuous word just because some dipshits also use that word

Can I ask the dumbest question ever: why is there a scene (or scenes) with rules that differ from the official vgc rules? Isn't everyone's goal to win the actual vgc? Aside from just generally loving around I mean

It seems like the Smogon folks have invested a lot of time into their unique rules and tiers but isn't that like my friends and I adding a 4 point line to our pickup basketball games? That's fine in and of itself but the real game sets the real rules

iirc the online simulator scene is older than the official vgc tournies, it makes sense that it wouldn't go away especially when vgc is all about doubles and for better or worse that plays alot differently than the singles that the sim scene had gotten used to

I mean I guess Gen I's wonky mechanics let me go crit fishing with Electrode, but using Raichu just seems like the Gen I thing to do, plus I can teach it Submission for some reason.

you'll get an excuse to use raichu in sunmoon

What did people expect? "We've spent an entire generation creating mega evolutions, putting them in the spotlight and featuring them heavily in side games like Pokken as well on the Anime, let's just abandon them all together."

Megas Rule. I'm glad they're staying so I can continue to pet my Mega-Ampharos and his perfect Glam-Rock hair.

i was confident that they'd still be around but we've been learning about this game for months and this is the first confirmation we've had that megas are still in, i can't blame people for getting skeptical

The SM anime is kinda breaking me apart. It looks great and a very welcome change of pace, but of course people don't like change or children's programming being made for children rather than all-ages. But. Like. On a place I go to people just whine about it and I read someone actually say that they don't like them changing "the formula that has been working for all these years." and. i'm. :psyduck: these are people who've literally seen every episode probably. Like, 942 loving episodes. And they want more??????????? How does someone not get tired of this?? how are people over 15 craving for more of the exact same story in which Ash gets to a place and there's a person having a pokemon-related problem that needs to be solved and Team Rocket is there to make it worse until there's a battle and they're blasting off away??

change is scary, the familiar is comfortable

what are they doing different for S&M anyway? all i know about is the art style
