This is disgustingly true. Also I will point out, of all the pokemon Fangames I've seen, Sage probably looks the best. That's the 4Chan pokemon Fangame. This is likely because everyone on /vp/ hates themselves and thus, opposite of the typical fan-game issue of no vetting, no one is ever pleased.

Wow some of these pokemon are actually really cool. Thanks for sharing this.

You mean those casual Pokedex entries of Driftloon just kidnapping children and killing them?

Phantump is the spirit of a child that died in the woods, also.

To be fair, Bug also has some great resistances, and being Super-Effective against Psychic and Dark does help to secure a solid niche. It's been a loooong time since I've played competitively, but I always had a lot of success with Bug-Types like Scizor and Yanmega.

Yeah, Bug is still an incredibly desirable type offensively.

there was definitely a sort of charm to Quartz' brand of nonsense. Might just be because of nostalgia? Man that's an old hack now, huh?

The plot was not-team magma using quartz to inflate the sun.

No, there is a real charm. Quartz doesn't take itself seriously, and it shows. It's something a guy did for the hell of it, there's an excitement and a sense of "why the gently caress not?". I you could call it campy.

Uranium on the other hand is the Manos: The Hands of Fate of pokemon romhacks.

I have no idea how wishiwashi doesn't violate league rules about using multiple Pokemon at the same time. At least Magneton and Weezing are actually physically stuck together and don't have their extra bits run away when they get low health.

They're unified by the power of TEAMWORK!

usually the burrowing pokemon actually look like things that would be able to burrow, so mostly my question is why the two-headed charizard snake needs to dig through dirt

In theory, if I was trying to rework the concept into something actually interesting and fun, the idea would be to make them riskier and harder to use than average, but potentially more rewarding than sticking with regular pokes. It's a hard balancing act, especially considering the hack's already assuming a fairly high level of competency, which actually gives us less room for design space.

As far as limitations go, I'd suggest making it so nuclear pokemon can't have items used on them in battle. That's a limitation that is manageable for experienced players, teachable for less experienced players, and inherently reduces the longevity of Nuclear pokemon on the field without forcing them to be glass cannons with a crappy typing.

I'd have to think about it a little more to come up with an interesting inherent advantage they could have beyond 'super effective on everything'.

A special "radiation" status effect that makes every subsequent move deal a little more bonus damage - possibly with a stacking attack/s.attack debuff. Makes them into terrifying wallbreakers.

No, it learns Earthquake as well.

Can it do my dishes too?

I mean, I don't think there's any other bases to cover.

But what if we pushed it in the other direction?

(seriously though I was expecting something more like this from the description).

This would be a great enemy in a game that wasn't pokemon. It's really fine piece of work!

If you want an image of the future of this LP (minus a bunch of other extremely broken pokemon, such as Superfly), imagine Duke Nukem riding on top of MEGAWEAPON, yelling forever.

eh, having a dentist that teaches nothing but tooth related moves is kinda neat

Yeah tbh this is something I could see a main game doing. It's one of the only vaguely Not Bad decisions they made.

That explains so much. Not only does all of the flora and fauna want to kill you, but the very ground you walk on has the potential to have uranium deposits. Are there any parts of Australia not actively trying to murder everything?

I've seen two videos by Extra Credits. One was him taking six minutes to say "Destiny is milquetoast enough that it's mildly appealing to a broad audience". The other was six minutes of him ostensibly talking about how to balance games, but actually just revealing that he has zero understanding of competitive anything.

Extra Credits is basically a man with a little knowledge and a love for the sound of his own cartoon voice.
