Rainuwastaken posted:What's the thing with the special stat that image mentions at the end? It's been a very, very long time since I touched Gen 1. Presumably it's about how Special was both for Special Attack and Special Defense so something with a high Special Stat would be both powerful offensively and defensively against certain types of attacks.

Shugojin posted:They're pretty broken, but also they hold together well enough that millions of kids were able to play them the whole way through repeatedly without anything going critically wrong. In a funny way those game breaking glitches probably allowed a lot more kids to finish the game than if those glitches weren't there.

anilEhilated posted:To be fair "Furnazi" is kinda clever as a pun, it's just tasteless as gently caress. Anyone ever LP'd that thing? I can't imagine what the story is about if this is where they went with their fakemons. I can't either. Especially since there's three sets of starters in the game.

PassingPie posted:Much as I'd like to say that Game Freak has the common sense to avoid this gimmick, I'm afraid your statement is false. There are items that can help with this, of course, and while being at low help makes it more likely that a pokemon will call for an ally, they can and will call for help on the first turn. They only care about the weather in battle so it can be manipulated relatively easily by having pokemon that can create those weather conditions in battle and maybe a stone to keep it up longer.

Lord Koth posted:Honestly, the most absurd thing about SOS battles is attached to a different egregious feature present on the first island. That being a single patch of grass having a 1% chance of encountering a Bagon. 1% encounter chances are just dickish in general, but what's really hilarious is that you can SOS battle chain that into running into a wild and extremely low level Salamence. Because acquiring a fully evolved pseudo-legendary before you even beat the first gym equivalent certainly doesn't break the game at all. It's probably just as much of a crapshoot to do the same thing via Wonder Trade since it amounts to the same thing

Seaogre posted:Maybe this is really off, but I think I'd like a fangame that didn't stick so hard to the Pokemon formula. Something like not going to eight gyms just because that's the standard or maybe not choosing between three starters and instead getting ten pokeballs and one slightly stronger Pokemon with False Swipe (maybe on load) and being told to basically go and catch whatever you prefer in the local area. There's always going to be 8 Gyms or gym like things just like there's a championship and a champion to beat. It's basically a staple part of the series and provides a useful way to benchmark the plot and adventure. theming them in things other than types would be a bit more novel like more proper upgraded Trainers with sets themed around things like Wrestling or Treasure Hunting or possibly around certain strategies.

FoolyCharged posted:You would need proper level scaling to start with. And even then there are movest issues. Most fixed movesets gives you flamethrower vs tackle, and just taking the highest four moves a mon naturally learns could screw over/overpower certain monsters because they werent intended to be level 5 ever. Pokemon is routed like a traditional JRPG with levels and stats to accommodate that. To switch into open world, pretty much all of the stats, move sets and possibly even typing (or at least SE/NVE effects) would have to be completely overhauled to be remotely start to look balanced. Simplifying the move list for example would be a start.

Zereth posted:Keep in mind FF11 predated World of Warcraft, and was drawing more from Everquest and such. Japan's MMO scene seems to be heavily influenced by Everquest and such and secondary media (anime/manga depicting MMOs) seem to do the same, even nowadays.

Red Metal posted:Between Geodude & Onix's piss-poor Special stats and their lack of Ground/Rock moves at that level, beating Brock with Charmander really wasn't that much harder than with Squirtle/Bulbasaur. And then you go in with that mentality in FR/LG and get destroyed by Rock Tomb spam because you can't quite get enough hits with Metal Claw or Confusion

Regalingualius posted:Eh, I thought their design was really plain and uninspired, in addition to their lack of viability beyond the early game. There's a reason that they were the least popular Pokemon when a popularity ranking was done. Edot: I'm wrong. It's Simisear in dead last, but unknown number of votes Xelkelvos fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Jul 10, 2017 |

Dexie posted:That was a biased poll though. It was Japan-only, and the Pokemon that won the whole thing was going to get a special event version released. It's a web poll too so it's even more biased  Chances are, most of those types of votes were isolated to the to the very high spots and even then, there wasn't enough to push perennial favorites down like Pikachu, Charizard, Eevee and Magnemite (of all things?). Then there's the fact that some of the legendaries are genuinely likable outside of their stats like the robot bug with a canon on its back, the green serpent dragon, the OG psychic legendary. If there was US voting, I'd imagine there'd be a lot more strategic voting since I assume the competitive scene is larger here, but it might also be offset by the existence of non-competitive/non-collector fans assuming the ratio between the two groups is different.

Dexie posted:Magnemite is there because of his use in Black 2/White 2. He's became sort of a Japanese meme based on that. It's always memes isn't it? If this was held in the US, I'm sure Bidoof, Mudkip and whatever 4chan picks as its meme rep would score far higher than they should.

CaptianKatsura posted:TieTuesday did a blind stream where he played around 4 matches before deciding the game is unfair, incomprehensible garbage. It's a couple hours of quality entertainment, though. I think I got to one of the last matches before getting stonewalled by a really tough opponent when I was a kid. There's definitely a system there, somewhere. But its mechanics are arcane and Japanese. So it probably is incomprehensible garbage, but one that's probably really exploitable because its arcane mechanics probably have shortcuts to OP poo poo. I'd have to look at that stream and try and remember what I did to see how he hosed up or how I tripped into victory.
