You see, this sounds silly but then I remember that Protean exists.

I never really saw the appeal of type-changing abilities like Protean. Can someone explain it to me, preferably in small words?

VVV Huh, got it. Still doesn't much appeal to me personally, I make 'rainbow teams' for as many types as I can cover with only 6 pokemon, but I can see why other people would like it.

I forget if Greninja can learn Earthquake, but if it can then that makes it functionally immune to Electric stuff, too. Aerial Ace protects it from Earthquake, and so on.

Bulbapedia says no, but it learns Spikes by leveling up* and can learn Mud Sport via breeding. Non-damaging moves, but still Ground Type.

*At level 28, when it evolves at 36, and Frogadier can't learn it... What the hell, Game Freak?

Actually the worst thing about FFT 1.3 was the mod author's OC do not steal boss with 999 hp that only ever took a maximum of 1 damage from any attack, and could instantly turn your characters into crystals. Someone figured out that if you positioned yourself very specifically you could get him to walk back and forth onto spike traps which dealt percentage damage, circumventing all his bullshit shields.

The modder promptly threw a fit and patched battlefield traps so they did not affect his super dude.

So the FFT 1.3 guy was the kind of rear end in a top hat who looked at all the bullshit surrounding Absolute Virtue in FFXI and thought Square-Enix had the right idea.
I hate him already, jesus loving christ

But no, as far as I can tell no one actually did it the intended way.

Because the Dev team never loving told anyone what the intended way was, and the way they incredibly vaguely hinted at in a video was patched out not long after said video was released :shepicide:

You misspelled Butterfree, aka your only hope of beating Brock if you went with Charmander.

Then again if you don't go with the water starter in every game you deserve all the pain you get.

Because in nature, it's very rare for certain animals to be seen in the wild and as such, art imitates life. What I can't stand are one percent encounter rates for trash mons.

Because Pokemon is one of those games where even trash mons can get you through the story :v: You really only need to give a poo poo about min-maxing for post-game stuff or if you're one of those weirdos who takes PvP against other pokemon players :reject: very seriously :reject:

I was so stoked that I could start with a Hagurumon in Cyber Sleuth. Never even looked the other options over, they've had their turns being main characters. Palmon and Terriermon have had their turn being the hero, it's the dumb gear's turn, and Clockmon was awesome... amazing... stupendous! well he was cool I guess..

(That was a joke about Clockmon's speech patterns in series 3 BTW)

Hagurumon is on the digivolution path to being a goddamn cyborg dragon powered by pure evil, what's not to love?

Also a Kamen Rider, but eh :v:
