Speaking of Sun/Moon, I like how Gladion spends the whole game trying to be edgy and winds up having a team of mostly Friendship evolution Pokemon by the end.

Oh, there's definitely some edgelord stuff in there. Check out Kurian Tsareena's page.

quote:

The Kurian form of Tsareena. They live in the absolute depths of the reason and stay there, making Bounsweet and Steenee do the dirty work outside of their homes.

Their homes are built like laboratories, but with unknown technology. In their homes, captured Pokémon and sometimes even Humans are found. While the captured Pokémon tend to be fine outside of being nervous, the humans tend to act really weird, which can last for their entire lifetime. It is unknown what causes this or why the Tsareena do it, but it seems they experiment on humans.​

Nobody knows what kind of experiments are held. Even the captured humans either refuse to tell out of fear or have forgotten somehow. Some professors even think that the Tsareena itself was also experimented on, which causes the transformation. Exactly who or what experimented them is unknown, but there is clear evidence that the beings that do the experiments on Tsareena are not from this world.​

this makes me realize even more why i'm glad that sage decided not to include fairy type and megas when those came out during development

Johnny Joestar posted:

the pokedex was already pretty locked down, and shoehorning the type + the moves into the game would only take up more time

Zore posted:

tbh, I was semi-convinced the new type in X/Y would be sound before they revealed Fairy. It definitely has enough stuff in the game to support an archetype already with a ton of pokemon based around it, sound moves having special mechanics, multiple abilities that affect sound moves etc.

Not saying it should be, but I could easily have seen Gamefreak doing it.

"Mystic Type is not what you'd expect, and that's the entire point of it. Mystic is a type dedicated to that which can not be explained, but is still incredibly powerful. The entire type is about messing with your expectations.
​
Mystic is a type with the most trickery of all types, with many moves and abilities that exist purely to mess with you, to subvert what you've learned and to trick you into making mistakes. Remembering all tricks Mystic has to offer will be incredibly tough."

A typing that's already covered by Fairies and Psychics.

I forget whether an Illuminate haver needs to be in the front slot but between it and Sweet Scent the convenience seems unnecessary.

It's telling that the 2017 VGC rules straight-up ban mega evolution.

AlphaKretin posted:

I don't like Mega Evolution either, but this in particular is I think just meant to encourage using the new stuff instead.

The fossil pokemon are all rock-type because fossils are literally rocks and they are made from fossils.

I imagine the actual prehistoric pokemon wouldn't have been rock-type, if pokemon natural history works that way.

Ancient-type sounds kind of cool but how would it relate to other types? I don't feel like it works as an actual elemental type, it's just a theme some pokemon have.

Robindaybird posted:

I honestly can't see a new type being added as anything one could think of can be covered by existing types (Cosmic/Light by fairy for example), would rob another type of options for movelists (Sound for normal), or wouldn't really work as an element.

Though I do think a lot of the Flying Types mon need an overhaul - how many gens did it take before GF finally made a pure flying and the ton of flying/normals that could be reclassed - as say perhaps Flying/Fighting

Still not sure why sand attack is ground type instead of dark. Sand in the eyes is like the classic dirty fighting move.

Can't transfer Z-Crystals between games. I now am obligated by blood to never reset my copy of Pokemon Moon or else I lose that Snorlium and Mewnium forever. That just ain't kosher.

All of Eevee's evolutions are types that were special before the split. Presumably Fairy type would have been special too, and presumably we'll get a Dragon type evolution to round things out.

EclecticTastes posted:

They both use the same kanji, it's that "daikatana" is an incorrect reading of those kanji in that linguistic context. That is, it's poor kanjigation.

Shiva Asori posted:

Welcome to the only nuclear type in the game worth using, and it's capable of using quick attack and explosion as well.

Most nuclear type pokemon are crap because there's only 3 nonexclusive nuclear damaging attacks and those are crap because they cap at 60 power and most of the pokemon who use them use the wrong attack stat for it.

Nucleon gets everything the others don't, Speed, Power and move variety that the other need but lack.

Some of them were 100% questionable in design like the Geodude line, but regional variants are a cool concept in general.

Sage has the best fakemon of all the fan games. Shame the rest is so off.

However bad you think Clover is, it's worse. I'm talking KKK themed pokemon.

A Daft Punk pokemon should surely come with, as starting moves, Harden, Focus Energy, Agility and Sharpen.
