Mightyena was putting in some serious work when I played that game. Intimidate is so useful in doubles. Poison Fang is underrated too, it could poison a bunch of stuff.

Yeah, I can respect that. They're objectively different experiences, so it boils down to what fits one's tastes better.

Or just have the NPC wait after a certain distance. Ain't that complicated, in fact, the Raidons do it.

What needs further clarification? I enjoy Gen 1's unique mechanics, like speed-based crits, full stat exp. allocation, connectivity to Stadium 1, Razor Leaf and Slash being stupid moves, Hyper Beam actually being a functional move, Wrap + Toxic being hilariously oppressive, Psychic being so...

I really don't get why you're debating a completely subjective opinion so intensely, but whatever. You asked for a reason. I gave you a subjective one. It's still a reason. :mehowth: RBY > FRLG

I didn't ignore them. I outright said I prefer RBY's janky elements because they're more unique and fun than FRLG's. Yes, they're even more archaic, but they are also a different experience compared to Gen 3's baby steps into the current mechanics, which, in my opinion, feel worse than Gen 4's...

You see, I find Gen 3 extremely archaic. It's in that weird in-between of being modern enough to have EVs, natures, and enough moves for types to minimally function (for the most part), but it doesn't have the modern split. Gen 1 has a ton of jank, but it's very unique. So, to me, there's more...

It's been a minute since I've seen a take this wild. :totodiLUL: I was deadass expecting an argument to include side games like Stadium, not the freaking anime of all things. There's just no reason to include it when it comes to generations though, especially with how repetitive the anime...

That's why I said that a lot of these fights have to be evaluated under blind run conditions. It's *extremely* easy for people to pick them apart knowing what's coming, especially veterans like us. Knowing the moves they get makes it trivial to form a gameplan in as little as 60 seconds.

Which is not only good, but also an industry standard. Assuming the assets are good, of course. For example, no one really questions the quality of the 3D models for mons. They argue, rightfully so, about the animations, which have some real stinkers, especially the idle ones.

I liked getting jumped in PLA. The catch is that divebombing Murkrow didn't get me into a whole battle animation that I couldn't escape from.

Don't make 1%/Shiny encounters run away. It's really that simple. People were crashing out over mons not being canonically sized in battle, now we're all paying the price. A lot of these realistic mechanics for vibes and immersion make the game more cumbersome instead of fun.

And then they cut the post-game, and the online is... And don't get me started on VGC :row: Multiple save files are whatever now that Home and Switch Profiles exist. It really doesn't make a difference to me.

So nice, they had to do it thrice. I'm ready for some actual antagonists again instead of this nonsense. They prompty ran the idea of Team Skull into the ground with Team Yell. Star isn't any better either. Persona with mons would be fire ngl.

Pretty much. Lucario would have all the tools to go fully mixed, but on the other hand, why would it? Investing in a single stat allows it to hit much harder and frees up a slot for utility moves like Agility, Nasty Plot, SD... And let's not forget the ever-present design of the slow, frail...

Next Switch will be called Switch-Z. You heard it here first. :psywoke:

Mixed attackers have been in the toilet ever since Gen 3 implemented EVs instead of allowing for max stats like the first two gens. The game has never recovered.

One of the animated shorts implies just that. That son of a gun actually got exactly what he wanted, but not in the way he wanted it. :totodiLUL: Funny, I was just thinking about this because of a different game this morning. A well-executed classic standard is something to be praised, not...

GSC's difficulty lies more in Leaders trying to jank you than beating you, I agree. With that said, the ones that do make an effort are interesting. Whitney, Clair, and Will are pretty good at no-nonsense offense despite having some tricks up their sleeve.

I agree. She deserves it tho It's her lack of showcased battle prowess during the story. Her being in the Distortion World was a huge miss because she got to Cyrus first, and then was there just chilling. :mehowth: So she was roaming the region, helping out players and aura farming, but when...
