Basically an even more direct ripoff of Pokemon than Digimon, Yokai Watch, or what have you.

:goonsay: The original digital pets that began the Digimon franchise actually predate Pokemon Red and Green, and both were in development at the same time, so it's impossible to say one ripped off the other. If anything, both of them ripped off Shin Megami Tensei, considered by many to be the progenitor of the "mon" genre.

The problem with Uranium, and this is a pervasive problem, and perhaps the biggest problem with the whole thing, is that it's designed for the people who are super into poo poo like Nuzlocke runs and the comp scene and it suffers for it.

Between the not Shadow Pokemon and the prominence of Pokemon Rangers, the creators seem to have a real boner for the B and C list spinoffs.

Okay, so.

Linkite is the ghost of a Pokemon that died in its Pokeball and since it doesn't know what it looked like, it takes the form of a Substitute.

That doesn't explain away a lot of the weird discrepancies. I don't remember Pokemon being able to tank a Pokemon with STAB, type advantage, and a five level difference which ended up happening around this point in the LP.

Hell, when Tie gor frustrated and power leveled his Pokemon to the 90s, he was still getting the business from non-super effective attacks from Pokemon in the 50s and 60s.

Wait, so

Linkite is bound to a pokeball because it died in a pokeball. How exactly can it be a wild pokemon that you catch in ANOTHER pokeball?

or do you get it some other way that would spoil the LP if discussed inthread?

No you were right the first time. It's weird.
