That's the case with Minotaur in IV also with stat debuffs. He's already a mean son of a bitch to begin with, you really don't need him spamming war cry and dropping your attack and defense.

get that OUT of my face posted:Yeah, Blue's just a jerk, but he's not a bad person. He mellowed with age. I personally subscribe to the idea that Bug beats Dark because it's impossible to trick something that acts entirely on instinct like an insect.

It really looks like they don't know how to lead the player with natural game design.

Commander Keene posted:Is Litleo honestly bad enough to get lumped in with those two? Doesn't Sunkern have the lowest BST in all of the games? Litleo is thoroughly below par that evolves too late to be worth putting up with and Pyroar is pretty mediocre. edit: As far as two stage fire-types go Pyroar is the third best but that's not a good indicator since most of them are either heavily leaning on one stat (Darmanititan, Magcargo, Flareon) or not designed to be heavy attackers (Ninetales). Pyroar is slightly physically sturdier and faster than Houndoom but he has garbage physical attack and his special attack is lower than Houndoom along with having a substandard movepool. So its main claim to fame is being better than Rapidash which is not exactly a big deal Testekill fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Jul 5, 2017 |

Schubalts posted:40K style GRIMDARK WAR is great because 40K itself is so over the top and ridiculous (see: everything about the Orks, and the Eldar literally partying so hard that they birthed a god of hedonism). Every fangame trying to copy it plays that poo poo completely seriously and is terrible. See also Judge Dredd being satire.

Onmi posted:And on the other end of the Spectrum Ciaphas Cain, the story of a cowardly commissar who straddles the line between self-serving manipulation and genuine heroism in his attempt to survive the 41st millennium. Ignoring that 40k was initially made as a parody, after people complained about the dark setting of WHFB It's almost like if a parody isn't explicitly funny you have to point out that it's a parody. edit: That comes out dumb, basically people don't get that someone is a parody unless it's explicitly funny. People just have a tendency to approach entertainment in shallow ways. Testekill fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Jul 11, 2017 |

ApplesandOranges posted:It shows up in the mainline games actually. Candice and Maylene in DPPt are friends for instance, as are Volkner and Flint. Koga passes the gym leader mantle to Janine from gen 1 to 2. Juan and Wallace are master/student. Roark and Byron are related. Not to the degree of 'we were high school besties', but leaders knowing each other is showing up increasingly often in the main games. There's a bit of difference between two different sets of friends, a father & daughter, a protege & his master and a son & his father. Meanwhile Reborn has four high school besties and roommates and two of them are also a secret lesbian couple. Like there's a narrative pair and there's contrived bullshit. Like someone said, it's what you'd get in an RP being played by a bunch of teenagers. Testekill fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Jul 29, 2017 |

LightningKimba posted:If anything, what could help is that one or more of these rising stars could have pursued a career unrelated to becoming a Gym Leader. Viola, the Bug GL from Kalos, has a sister who is in journalism, as an example. Here's my idea for them. Keep two of them as Gym Leaders, make one of them a Pokemon researcher who was more interested in studying then battling and make the final one a prodigy who went off to do her own thing after graduation. Have the final one be encountered a couple of times as a helpful character, maybe involve her in the climax of the Team Meteor stuff when you find out how much of a big shot she is but you don't actually get to fight her until the post game. She's inspired by you beating the Pokemon League and wants to get serious by travelling to different regions and facing the strongest that the world has to offer but first she wants to take you on because you impressed her so much. I mean ideally you'd get rid of all the superficial & shallow elements of their characters but let's not go crazy.

I never read it as Blue being a douche, sure he's a bit smug but he's your rival and he expects you to be really good also. But people act like he's openly antagonistic which he's anything but
