Geokinesis posted:Another problem with oras is first area you run into wingulls and zigzagoons and few others. Later areas you just run into their evolved forms. Or just mix up the encounters a little bit! Linoone can be in the game without being on almost every loving route! You can also put pokemon like Corphish on land in some areas, or at least make things besides Tentacool/Magikarp catchable with the old rod.

I've still never found a legit shiny. All mine are through the absurd amount of wondertrading I do and a good 2/3rds of them are almost definitely hacked.

Really its mostly Gen 1/2 pokemon that have insanely lovely shiny sprites. Every other one is lime green or a shade darker (look up Pikachu's for the most  thing)Later gens are not immune by any means though. Shiny Garchomp for instance.

Zuzie posted:I do wonder how the species clause that most battling formats follow will deal with Alolan forms, as they're so different from the regular forms that they function like different Pokémon. Would you be able to use an Alolan Ninetales alongside its regular counterpart in an official match? How does it currently work for Wormadam? I'm pretty sure it only lets you use 1. Thats probably the closest to Alolan forms we have as 1 pokedex entry but three forms with different stats/movepools and typing that can't transform.

If not it has the same catch rate as pokeballs.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Scizor is a poo poo design, Tyranitar is an awful x4 Weak to fighting waste of a slot and the worst Pseudo-Legendary Design easily. Skarmory is a poo poo bird with 1 set that's been out done over and over by now and Blissey's one entire claim to fame is being so lovely it makes Chansey better by design and mechanically. You're really flip flopping on if you're talking about mechanics or design. Mechanically, Tyranitar and Scizor are absolute monsters. Designwise, you can just get out of this thread if you don't think Murkrow, Skarmory, Houndoom, Heracross, Crobat and Bellosum are rad as gently caress.  It is the weakest gen overall, but it has some really good pokemon still.

Avalugg really isn't mechanically worthless. It has some intense physical bulk and hits like a freight train, plus it has sturdy and recover. What ice really needs is better physical attacks and way more resistances.

I hope they make more abilities like Strong Jaw and Mega Launcher. They're really cool and give some love to underused move-types. Also Iron Fist should really be buffed up to a 50% boost to put it in line with them imo.

Zoness posted:most typings can be avoided but water is probably one of the most ubiquitous ones. having a 4x weakness to water is almost a death sentence in and of itself. Maybe if Rock attacks didn't have so many horrific downsides. Why is the Rock version of Earthquake 80% accurate with half the PP? Why does almost nothing learn the Special Rock attacks, especially Rock types. Seriously, of the 19 pokemon that learn Power Gem 4 are Rock types. And none of them are the few Rock types who actually could use a special Rock attack. Its a really good attacking type in a vacuum, but goddamn Gamefreak shits on Rock moves like it does on Ice Pokemon.
