What kind of changes should be made to lessen the discrepancy between the spirit of the franchise and how the game is actually played without comprimising the meta?
How about a mechanic where you can care for and pamper your Pokémon to make them love you and they return that affection by getting more crits, dodging attacks, curing themselves of status, and surviving lethal damage

Can IVs. Make all hidden powers tutors hidden throughout the region.
>>31526642
>Stuff that only matters against NPCs
Problem solved.
They should implement a method of being able to get ANY Pokemon to be perfect.
Like the old Super Training but it can affect all stats, abilities and natures.
I feel like being able to work hard on any Pokemon to make it perfect, even if it would take ages, would be better then the silly RNG egg grind.
WHY ARE POKEMON DOGS, SPIDERS, BEARS, AND BIRDS OF PREY ALWAYS SO SLOW? THESE ANIMALS ARE FAST
FAAAAAASSSSSSSSST
I CAN UNDERSTAND THINGS LIKE GRANBULL AND BEWEAR BEING SLOW
BUT ARCANINE? ARAQUANID? STARAPTOR? URSARING? AND MANY OTHERS
WHYYYYYYYYYYYY
YES, I'M MAD
>>31526586

>FAST
Not faster than my hand anon

Diancie is fucking pissed
>>31526572
I would be too if I was Diancie. Doesn't have to run Protect anymore and gets Power Gem, but no Mega Stone.
God, I hate Gamefreak.
Good. No megastone for you!
We're all angry that those filthy subhuman niggers can walk around freely and cavort with our pure white women and ruin their perfect master race genes, Diancie.

I played Pokemon Stadium 2 before any of the GSC games and came across Chinchou while going through Little Cup for the first time. Nothing special but it was memorable since it was my first introduction to Gen 2. Fished out one by chance in Crystal later and used it on the team. I continued using Chinchou/Lanturn in playthrough teams for the next several generations wherever it was available (especially Gen III replays).
XY made it easier to breed so I started battling online a bit more then. For something with such terrible stats Lanturn surprised me and still managed to pull through in lots of games. Still use it now as of SM. Porygon-Z is my number 1 favorite, but Lanturn's up there with it too thanks to consistent performance ingame and online over the years
Nothing much. I simply find it very likable
>>31526565
>bro (or sis) or bro
Regardless, second favourite (fully evolved) Pokemon and by far the most useful in-game I've ever used. Saved hundreds of other Pokemon lives in a no-center Black Nuzlocke run I did on his own, even tanking through +1 Stone Edges from Clay as Ducklett.
Every other Water/Flying type got buffs to be OU viable, now I'm hoping Swanna gets the same treatment.
All right, /vp/, having done my first run with just Alolamons, I'm planning to do another playthrough now that Bank is out.
Dubs adds a member to my team, trips or more can replace any team member except one of the two starters, quints will have me MM for a shiny of the Pokémon that the post suggests.

She isnt cumming though
>can't use pre-gen 6 Pokemon on ranked matches
Fuck you, Game Freak. You expect a 25+yo to spin around the autism box for hours to get stuff that they already got ten years ago.
I quit in ORAS due to this, and now this crap again. Why can't we just use our old bros?
And people shit on XY. At least XY didn't stop you from using your legit Pokemon just because they're from older games.
Does GF really think that their whole playerbase are autists?
Their target audience isn't 25+yos.
>>31526486
Their actual audience are 25+yos.
>>31526492
Damn I'm 21.
Why is this girl so sexy? I just want to marry her and impregnate her over and over again!
>>31526373
>girl
Anon...
She isn't nearly as attractive as Charon from Black and White.
Now that's one cute girl.
>>31526373
>people unironically believed no guard fissure machamp would be allowed
you guys are fucking morons if you seriously though GF would allow that
>>31526290
>implying Game Freak can into balance
I would bet they only cucked Machamp because this meme has been lingering for about 11 months now.
>>31526290
I don't think so
They just wanted hidden abilities for the transferred pokemon as a bonus, probably nothing more
>>31526481
11 months.
For 11 months No Guard Fissure Machamp has been discussed throughout the entire internet.
Every single community that discusses Pokemon has brought up No Guard Fissure Machamp.
Gamefreak had 11 fucking months to either tell us that No Guard Fissure Machamp isn't happening, or at least program the bank so that it doesn't allow Fissure Machamp and not have to retort to locking every RBY pokemon into Hidden Abilities.
And yet, GF fucked even something as simple as that up. They fucked up at BASIC. FUCKING. COMMUNICATION.
Thank god I didn't buy SM, wouldn't want to support the embodiment of incompetence.
ITT you completely break a pokemon with 2 or less changes
Hard mode: no more than +10 to a stat and no huge power
>Beast boost and +10 speed to pic related
>>31526254
+10 speed and sheer force
Regigigas
>Access to Recover
>Ability is Stamina
>>31526254
If you're going to outlaw huge power you may as well outlaw Beast Boost because that does the same thing only better.

I made a gimmick team about doing that and earthquake.
It was super ice weak.
"Fuck you if you want a living dex with alternate forms in Sun/Moon, we're only adding one omore box than ORAS but also like 30 new forms." - Gamefreak
"Fuck you if you want to track your progress, good luck doing that without a national dex" -Gamefreak again
I hope whichever retard was behind this idea gets diabetes.
But anon, there is a National Dex.
The one you can't access even though you can still somehow register.
Oh, you mean the National National Dex, we got that one right here in Poke Bank, all you have to do is pay this annual fee of five buckaroos.No cash? That's okay, we could have given you a free National Dex and still have the rest locked, but you know we won't, the National Dex is in fact thrown together with the actual service and locked behind a paywall, which means you'll be paying for both our National Dex and our services. :^)
>>31526773
>I can't afford 5$
How do you even play vidya
>>31526773
>>31526785
you can view the national dex without a sub to bank

>>31525897

You can only hope to be captured or for Groudon, Kyogre, or Deoxy to fuck shit up regularly.
>Become Celebi

Now there's a life worth living.

How do I return to my human body? I hate being turned on by my bro all the time! Who knew that she had a knack towards humans?
