It's a forced battle for which you have no warning when any reasonable player would expect to encounter a pkmn centre upon entering the area.
>>32404659
Sorry you didn't think an area called "gauntlet" would end in a great battle like most gauntlets do.
Everyone else is happy they're in it at all.
ITT: Say something positive about your least favorite gen
Glitches are fun to mess around with and make speed-runs of gen 1 more interesting to watch than speed runs of later gens.
Dragalge is cool
Gen IV introduced the physical/special split which is one of the biggest and best changes in the serie

gen 4 helped me with my sleeping problems
now i have narcolepsy
What ability would single-handedly boost Ledian to OU?
Fun fact: there isn't one.
>>32404431
Id say huge power but it's not enough for OU
>>32404431
Nothing that exists atm. You could give it something like auto-trick room and that'd probably be enough.

I doubt we're getting Pokemon on the Switch announced at e3 this year (Prolly next year though)
But I bet Pokemon Go working with Pokebank (probably in the same way that the older games can only deposit pokemon, not withdraw them) will be their big summer announcement
>>32404315
Fucking hope not, that's a lame "big announcement."
the idea is niche, but honestly kind of neat
>>32404315
I'd rather have a spinoff Switch game announced. Pokken Deluxe with the arcade content added sounds like something they'd go for.
Post rad fakemon megas, please.
Normal evolutions are also acceptable.

Just noticed this has an ifunny watermark. Cool.

zero interest in that side so nbd
>and are near useless in the main story
I just overlevel them and wish them luck
>this is an OU pokemon in gen 7

Stats alone don't always define how good a Pokemon is

New movie summary:
>Satoshi and Pikachu are currently the best of partners.
>But the truth is, their initial meeting went as badly as it could possibly have!
>That meeting took place on Satoshi's 10th birthday. In order to set off on his journey as a Pokémon Trainer, he had come to the Okido Laboratories. He was meant to receive either a Hitokage, a Zenigame or a Fushigidane, Pokémon intended for beginners, but... he overslept, and all that was left for him was a Pikachu that Professor Okido described as "there being a slight problem with".
>In addition to not wanting to enter a monster ball, the Pikachu wouldn't listen to what Satoshi said. The two eventually bonded during a battle against Onisuzume, at which point the legendary Pokémon Houou appeared in the sky, making its seven-colored wings shine.
>"Let's go meet it together one day!"... On the day he set off on his journey, Satoshi made this promise to Pikachu.
>The two of them then continued their adventure, encountering friends and Pokémon, all while growing and maturing together.
>And then one day, as Satoshi gazed up at a rainbow after a rainstorm, his chest suddenly started shining brightly.
>The Houou feather he had picked up on the day he started his journey had started giving off a strong light.
>"Is this Houou showing me the way?"
>Placing their full trust in the Feather's glow, Satoshi and Pikachu head for the mountain rising up at the foot of the rainbow. But Cross, a Trainer with his sight set on the Houou feather, blocks their way. And inside Satoshi's shadow, a mysterious Pokémon...
>Will Satoshi and Pikachu manage to meet Houou and thus fulfill the promise made on they day they started their journey?
why are there so many one stage pokemon that never get any attention or buffs

Not every single Pokemon needs to be good. The only thing that upset me though was giving Delibird Insomnia as its HA. Literally why?
Quilfish kinda got a buff when Fell Stinger did. You ever see a Quilfish sweep? Real neato.

You're a new pokemon trainer, you have the chance to choose ANY pokemon you want because your dad is the boss of team rocket or whatever. Who do you choose?

Not really since you have to think about going through a whole region with that pokemon
Create a Pokemon with 500 BST strong enough to completely reshape the Meta Game.
You can give it a unique ability, 2 signature moves and a unique typing. It must have one 4x weakness and it's ability can't negate it.
