If you think about it, every generation has Game Freak trying to appeal people that begin in RBY by touching on old and "classic" Pokemon and the further it goes, the more desperate it seems they try to mimic the sucess of Gen I
Gen II: Direct follow up, you can revist Kanto
Gen III: Remake of the Gen I games
Gen IV: Bunch of evolutions of old Pokemon
Gen V: Totally different Pokemon but that are very clearly counterpart of Kanto ones
Gen VI: Mega Evolutions, most of them for Kanto Pokemon
Gen VII: Alola Form, of which are all Kanto Pokemon
>>30642766
>Gen III: Remake of the Gen I games
I don't see how making the other 184 other Pokemon at the time available is trying to mimic Gen I's success.
>>30642766
It's not to mimic the success of Gen 1. It's to capture the older fans. No one wanted to play Gen 5 with its total cutoff from the earlier gens. It took B2W2 to remedy the situation and they even threw in PWT to make up for it.
>>30642821
Also, in the BW post game all the Kanto Pokemon appear.
>My Attack buff was rendered useless competitively because Bulldoze sucks.
Anyone else got that effect?
>>30642632
What the fuck are you talking about?

are you serious?
>not using mixed Nidoking
You deserve what you get.
Singles or Doubles, /vp/?
I'm actually a fan of both, however I slightly prefer Singles because of muh stall.
>>30642568
Doublessince Triples are gone ;-;
Battle Royale because triples are gone
>>30642568
Singles since that's how the game was made to be played. Doubles was a copout they deferred to since they lost control of their game.

I can't find you
>usage based tiers
Why exactly do people think this is a good thing and not overcentralizing as opposed to just plain analyzing the pokemon to figure out whats a good matchup against what?
I get that it lets you know who the most used/popular pokemon are but thats also exactly what makes it so skewed. I agree that its a good starting point for analysis but its not a good metric to 100% base a tier of. Some shit in OU for example, is there because as one would think, people lack creativity and can only do one thing. But its pretty sad to see pokemon like aegislash get unfairly tiered just because they are a surprise to most opponents (is it special, physical or some other gimmick?) or just because the pokemons main gimmick is really strong for the one type of strategy the majority of the tier likes to use.
Pokemon is supposed to be about mind gaming and checking your opponents sets, but this kind of shit treats it like theres only one way to play.
>>30642336
I agree but if you ever see usage stats for online competitions their pretty much the same mons over and over again. So tiering differently or no tiering helps noone
>>30642336
Smogon bans retarded shit because they like Pokemon's meta to be more stale than it already is. What else is new?
Don't play competitive anything if you want to see creativity. Competitive is where creativity goes to die, in virtually any game.
What's your alternative? Don't say "ban all legendaries/Megas" either.
So how do you think the Janurary Pokebank Update is going to go? I mean, there's no national dex in SM, you think they're gonna patch it in?
Are people gonna flip their shits when the pokemon they played with on their VC R/B/Y have shit natures/IVs?
Bank has the National Dex tracker, so no patch.
Yeah probably.
>>30642212
>How will the pokebank update go?
Virtually nothing will change. Competitive players are going to pick up where they left off in XY/ORAS (although most of them are on showderp now anyway), casuals are going to consider the $5 wasted unless their favorite mons didn't get into SM, and everyone in-between is just going to do whatever they planned on doing anyway.
Wonder Trade will probably have a bunch more weird shit in it for a week or two, then we'll go back to Donald Trump jokes and Abras.
>Do you think they're gonna patch it in?
If Gamefreak patches in actual content, I will buy a hat for the express purpose of eating it. Patching in the NatDex would be the best thing they could do, but I'm not holding my breath.
>Are people gonna flip their shit when the VC RBY mons have shit natures/IVs?
No, because casuals don't give a shit and competitive players already have those mons anyway. Besides, story teams are almost always garbage in comparison to the shit you breed by hand.
>>30642212
When I transferred from yellow to gold, I was kinda surprised my pikachu ended up female and holding a light ball. Same with my twistedspoon alakazam.
I think VC transfers will have neat things like that to make up for the random stats. I don't think anyone is going to expect transfers from a gen 1 game to be competitive.
ITT: Pokemon literally NOBODY hates.
Porygon Z needs to die and so do you OP.
