that happens to be one of the few lines in uranium that i like. the sprites could use a little touching up but the concept is neat

final form really doesn't need to be a trade evo, though

ya know, fan-games have a good position to get rid of terrible mechanics, and while i understand why you might keep in 1% encounters or bad moves i can't for the life of me understand keeping trade evos

it's not just cause they're only in there to give incentive to buy two versions, it's also that you have to set up the netcode to be able to do them and that just seems like a hassle

Pretty sure it's there in the official games as an incentive to have friends. The entire Pokemon franchise has been full of attempts to make the players finally go out and socialize. Exclusive Pokemon and trade evos, that IR Mystery Gift thing from Gen II, the Poke-Walker, then Pokemon GO! shows up and is just like "gently caress you, you need to go outside to play this at all and if you want items you better get ready to run into other human beings at Poke Stops".

they can use all the reasons they wanted to justify it but let's be real, trade evos and exclusive pokemon were a way to get kids to bug their parents for both versions and only exist today as a legacy feature

I think there might be an elegant way to do a sport of "Imaginary Friend Pokemon only visible to children and (implied) drunks", but that is really not the way to do it.

christ y'all were right about the linkite evolution, that thing looks stupid as gently caress

also, really gotta question having incredibly relevant to the protagonist and general world backstory hidden behind an entirely optional side-quest

garlikid is cool tho, so there's that

So, the odds that kid Theo and teen Theo are from different stages in development that they just duct taped together are...?

it's possible they wanted to convey character growth but not have a clue how to do that organically, but yeah its pretty likely two different concepts for theo just got smushed together terribly

On the plus side, you'd only really care about one attacking stat for the vast majority of mons. That means you just have to roll that one unpredictable IV in the stat they don't use, which cuts down the time spent considerably. Alakazam isn't exactly attached to his physical attack.

That's still a lot of grognardery but it's kinda fun for those of us mad enough. God help you if you need a specific Hidden Power, though.

a low attack stat is even helpful for Alakazam in case it gets confused

I'll concede that, but overall it looks like it is made up of multiple differentiated sections, specifically it's green top part and the not-magnet. You could say that those could be proteins embedded in or on the outside of the membrane, but overall, it looks less like a single-celled organism and more like a mollusk.

Its soundtrack was grating and the entire game post-Mother Brain was badly-designed, basically comprising one huge corridor wrapped around itself. AM2R is the best 2D Metroid by a comfortable margin, followed by Super Metroid and Fusion in whichever order you like.

I mean, I appreciate that Zero Mission recognized the importance of sequence-breaking to fans of the series, but at least for me, atmosphere and subtlety are far more important. Whatever Zero Mission is, it is not subtle.

lmao if you think AM2R is anywhere near Fusion, let alone Super Metroid

There's quite a few shiny pokemon where it's just a very slightly darker/lighter shade of their original.

i remember reading once that they did shinys by just upshifting the pallete of the pokemon, no clue how true that is but would explain why some of them are basically the same but darker and others are drastically different
