Is this quote:With Super Training you could increase EVs no problem, but with Hyper Training you can increase IVs of level 100 Pokemon using bottle caps. This wasn't possible before, as IVs were set when you got a Pokemon and could not be changed in any way. Now your main story friends can be used in gruelling competitive! Actually confirmed? It seemed pretty vague when described. Also Sylveon sucks.

All Alolan pokemon seem to have really poo poo abilities even compared to their normal ones. Vulpix/Ninetales get Snow Cloak vs. Flash Fire Exeggutor gets Frisk vs Chlorophyll Raichu gets Surge Surfer vs Static Marowak gets Cursed Body vs Rock Head And then Meowth gets the same abilities and Sandshrew/Sandslash switch Sand Cloak for Snow Cloak which is just cheetah7071 posted:"We need the name for the final evolution of a fire lizard" At least it attempts to combine two words. A more apt comparison would be; "We need the name for the final evolution of a fire lizard" "Char...lizard??" Yeah, Charlizard. Much like its comrades Blasttortoise and Venussaurus.

Zoness posted:I mean, Static and Rock Head aren't particularly good abilities Those are just their normal abilities. And yeah, Static isn't great but a chance or paralysis is almost definitely more useful than Surge Surfer. Marowak does not have the moveset to actually use Rock Head (though ironically, it could have been good on Alolan Marowak if it gets Flare Blitz) I wonder how they'll handle hidden abilites for these mons? Will Alolan Ninetales get Snow Warning?

Reinanigans posted:Lotad line, Ralts line, Taillow line, Aron line, Shroomish line, Slakoth line (no, really), Elektrike line, Trapinch line, any of the starters...Apart from those last two, all of them are available before the second gym. ORAS probably has the best assortment of early Pokémon of any game in the series. It's one of the only things I'll rank it over other entries. What? ORAS has some of the shittiest early selection of any game in the series, especially when we just came off X/Y which is literally objectively the best. Especially since they locked some stuff you used to be able to get early in R/S/E until later! The only games that are worse are B/W1 and its a close thing.  Like, you have access to more than sixty lines of pokemon before the second gym in X/Y. Including things like Tyrunt, Absol, Drifloon, Axew, Croagunk, Scraggy, Kanto Starters, Venipede, Aegislash, Meowstic etc... Zore fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Aug 21, 2016 |

Reinanigans posted:Maybe I just meant RSE instead, I dunno. I didn't notice a difference between RSE and ORAS. I mean, that's fine, but the worst part of both B/W and ORAS is their garbage early selection of mons. ORAS at least opens up later, but B/W pace themselves so much in encounters and absurdly high evo levels that far too many pokemon are gym 7+ exclusive (hope you never really wanted to use Briavary, Vulbaby, Durant, Heatmor, Hydreigon, Volcarona, Buffolount, Bisharp, etc.) Kills any desire in me to replay because there's no variety at all until the game's already over. And ORAS removed Sableye/Mawile/Nosepass/Aron by blocking off the lower areas of Granite cave when you could immediately go down in the originals. Its real dumb!

Especially since I hate carting around HM slaves (I usually just teach main party members Surf/Strength and you can usually get by without the rest) but ORAS has so many 'gently caress you, HM time' moments. Or 'gently caress you, go back to Mauville and switch bikes'.

Blaze Dragon posted:Too bad the only game that had a chance to do this failed miserably by not giving you a single good source for exp. Gen 2 is a mess. Its literally 3 tiles of water blocking off Victory Road. It was actually super annoying my first run because I wasn't using anything that learned surf so I was down 1 party member for Victory Road. Too many cool bugs and fossils. quote:I don't like a lot of choice. It's overwhelming and leads to a lack of unity or logical consistency amongst a regional dex's Pokemon. Regional dexes are best when they have 200 - 300 Pokemon, like RSE and Platinum. HGSS is decent too if you consider it as a whole, with the Elite Four rematch as your true "final challenge" (which seems to be the case in the remakes). It's actually really cool going to a new region and having another 8 gyms to train new team members in. Pokemon postgames are often so short there's no way to have a new Pokemon on your team unless you catch them at a high level or grab the Lucky Egg. You can have a fairly small regional dex and still have a better selection of early pokes than B/W or ORAS. R/B/Y or HG/SS is a great example, smaller dex than either of those but the early areas are bursting with variety in comparison to the pared down options in those two. Also Gen 1, 2 and 4 had the nice thing where the world opened up a ton after a few badges so you could do things like swing around and duck into the Great Marsh to get pokemon like Crogunk or Carnivine before the fourth gym etc. Gens 3/5/6 really lack that because they're super railroaded, and in Gen 3/5's case they don't even mix up the encounters that much.

And Plasma actually manages to cause a major ecological crisis in Unova. Also Lysandre manages to become immortal and then get buried under 300 tons of rocks for eternity.
