I bet archer owl is gonna be super popular. Everyone loves archers, especially Japan.

I bet the popularity will go Wrestler Cat, Archer Owl, then lastly Siren Dog. I like all three, but the first two are definitely the ones I hear the most about.

The only Pokémon I'd consider "overdesigned" would be Mega Sharpedo, and that's more needlessly busy more than anything.

To go in the opposite direction, which Pokémon do you wish had more elements to their design? I want to like Beartic, but he's criminally bland for my taste.

Charizard.

Blaze Dragon posted:

I wouldn't say that's overdesigned. It's a horrible design, it looks terrible and whoever decided it should be included needs to get fired immediately if they haven't gotten fired yet, but it isn't because it's overdesigned, just because it's bad and it saddens me that something as great as Rhydon becomes that.

It means Rhydon can use Eviolite, so consider it a buff to a mon you like

Blaze Dragon posted:

On the other hand, it means that if it ever gets a Mega, it goes to Rhyperior instead of a cooler Rhydon, and it almost definitely means we aren't getting Alolan variations of the Rhyhorn line since those are for Gen 1 only and now there's a pesky Gen 4 design at the end. And it isn't even good!

Also all the Electabuzz line is awesome. Wish I could say the same for Magmar.

ok in that hypothetical future which may not ever happen that'd stink, but in this reality which we all inhabit it was a buff to a pokemon you like

I wonder how many nerds shat themselves laughing over naming their Orangurus 'Harambe'

One time I yelled "Return!" and Lycanroc turned to me and said, "what if someone just stood in the middle of Celedon City and yelled 'return'? Maybe the Passimians in suits would forget their routine of going to Silph Co." My jaw hit the floor and it never really came back up. That's when I thought, is he getting in character to win a Coolness contest, or was the Coolness something that's been in him all along?

Sometimes I would go to look at one of the Pokeballs, and I noticed Lycanroc had put something in the ball. It was stuff like "what if Pokeballs were slavery? Would you battle a slave owner?" and "Fight. Bag. Insanity." I had to ask him to stop because I was getting too scared to train.

Is there a lot of crossover? Like would the best Showdown or Smogon players roll over a VGC or do the different rule sets impact the meta to such a big degree that things have to be unlearned?

I'm just fascinated by how deep and old the online battle communities are and how much orthodoxy there is and the impact that the vgc scene is having on it

iirc someone here said that the nugget brigade people (the largest online VGC group) sometimes play with smogon people and just, like, aren't that great comparatively. but that's secondhand knowledge so it might be meaningless.

the reason people play different metagames is because that's what they enjoy. there's basically zero money in pokemon so people who play do it because they enjoy playing the thing. it's why people play non-esports comp games. it's like asking why people play old street fighter games rather than the most recent one
