I heard a rumor that there might be armor items that reduce or outright negate certain Pokemons' elemental weaknesses.

99% of the time "rumor" means "some random guy on reddit/4chan/gamefaqs said this".

Someone redrew the Gen 1 Red/Green sprites to match the official artwork and here's a video comparing them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4UjvvsSbGI

Some are more or less identical but others have...issues.

EDIT: Huh, I never realized the Dragonite family were after the legendary birds in the Pokedex.
EDIT2: Actually they're not all Red/Green sprites(Pikachu, Mewtwo, ect.). Looks like they chose whichever was worse between Red/Green and Red/Blue.

Take the story of Sun and Moon and make it objectively worse and that's USUM. However it does fill the space nicely and it has a lot of very good mechanics added. Not to mention a side quest which makes it possible to catch multiple good natured ditto if you're into breeding.

Also the final boss is complete bullshit.

More final evolution "leaks"

Obviously 99% chance they're fake but the designs are interesting to talk about. Grookey and Sobble final forms look...weird but fit a Sword/Shield theme. Scorbunny's is just kinda more speed rabbit. I guess they'd be Grass/Fighting, mono Fire, and Water/Steel? I'd be fine with that.

As soon as we see the UI design for battles, we'll know if it's fake or not. But hey, with the video to go alongside it, this is nice and convincing, just how I like my leaks.

This is such a baffling design it’s probably real.

You probably need a specific held item to Armor evolution, just like Mega. So you can't do both.

I've said it a million times, and I'll say it a million more.

I HATE Stealth Rock and what it did to the competitive game. There is an upsetting number of pokemon out there whose usability tanks through the ground purely as a result of that one move.

Gamefreak either needs to take away Stealth Rocks' benefitting from type advantages, or they need to add a bunch more entry hazards that benefit from them. Hell, add a restriction of only being able to have one type-damaging entry hazard deployed at a time to prevent people stacking a bunch of them if you need to. But Stealth Rocks needs to have something done to balance it out. Having Stealth Rocks as the only entry hazard that benefits from type advantage for damage is simply unfair to stuff weak to rock.

Also it should have a 5 turn duration like weather.

Wasn't there some talk that Heracross was originally going to be Pinsir's evolution? The same game introduced Scizor(who is Pinsir's counterpart), their heights are the same, they're in the same game version, ect.

Every legendary in OR/AS respawns after beating the E4 again right? Deoxys sounds like a pain to catch in the first encounter and it'd be much less annoying to just come back with a high level Breloom with False Swipe and Spore.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that Sceptile has significantly more Sp. Attack than Attack despite its signature move, Leaf Blade, being physical?

Hidden Pokémon in OR/AS is a really great mechanic but I wish you were immune to wild battles while sneaking so you didn’t have to use repels.

Super Training is also really cool but seems like it’d still be faster to just grind on wild Pokémon.

Amie is just as ridiculous as it is in S/M. I think I’ll just leave my Pokémon at level 2 for the boosted exp
