Why was Dark-type special until the split?
Every damaging Dark-type move up through Gen II ended up becoming a Physical move, and they all sounded Physical as well (Bite, Crunch, Thief, Beat Up, Feint Attack.) Bite even WAS a Physical move in Gen I before becoming Dark.
Every Gen II Dark-type has better Attack than Sp.Atk, except Houndoom (who's Atk is still good) and Murkrow (who's offense stats are equal.) Even Umbreon's Attack is 5 points higher than its Special Attack.
Yet, Ghost was Physical... but every Ghost type through Gen II was a Special Attacker. Hell, both of Gengar's STABs were Physical types.
>>33558404
because Gamefreak is fucking stupid
why create all these mixed attackers in gen 3 that take advantage of their mixed types and then create the physical/special split the gen right after?
>>33558404
Don't forget that Shadow ball always lowered Special Defense, even back in Gen II and III. At least Crunch had the decency to lower Special Defense when it was special.
>>33558404
Later plans?
Or GF is incompetent, wouldn't surprise me considering none of the original fire types had access to good move and flareon being a physical mon.

how do I make a decent singles team around this little nigga (soft not hard)
Pelliper, Tapu Koko, and Poliwrath (swift swim) seem like a good fit. What should I do with the other 2 slots?
>>33557983
>soft not hard
what did he mean by this
get a fire or bug type because grass cucks you
>>33557983
Poliwrath is utter garbage, use Mega Swampert if you want a good physical swift swimmer
>pikachu serves no purpose in the anime anymore
Should've got in the ball.
>>33557916
Pikachu is brand recognition.
Even if Pikachu is just a walking prop it is still invaluable.
>>33557916
every anime needsl fanservice
>>33557916
He helped Lillie get better at battling and with overcoming her fear.
Why do so much people hate this guy?
Shitty design. Quadruped body type despite needing to be biped to use its weapons effectively. Too drastic of a change from its mid stage. Not fighting type in a gen that literally has four other quadruped sword wielding fighting types.
>>33557875
Because the design looks awkward compared to the second stage
I want him to impregnate my asshole.

How would you get out of this situation with your dignity intact?
Just wink, and go back to what you were doing.>playing pokemon go when the actual pokemon games are portable handheld exclusives already

Contrary to what some lame vp hate poster like to spread, i am super thrilled that pokken is finally arriving. The main reason that pushed me to finally get the switch
>>33557607
shit taste
Well, the switch has no good games, shit console since Wii u
>>33557611
I think u are the one with shit taste

Why are so many SM mons either OU and beyond or PU shitmons
Even though Game Freak is ok at balancing single player, they've always been terrible at balancing multiplayer.
>>33557336
because game freak is incompetent
They're all gimmicks. The only ones that aren't have the gimmick of being SM mons that don't have gimmicks.
Good evening /vp/. Tonight I'm in the mood for a thread for my favorite werewolf. All Lycanrocs welcome, including Dusk, but focus is on Midnight.
>>33557278
Werewolf
>pure rock type
this is fucking disgusting. No fairy, no dark, no ghost or fighting or normal or anything ffs.
All Lycanrocs welcome?
Has anyone made a romhack where all the starters are birds?
>>33557088
>replacing "numale" with "edgy"
>implying decidueye is edgy
None of those fuckers can even fly, they're not real birds.
What's the point when you're picking only one anyway?
Will USuUMo be able to hold you over until 2019 for gen 8 on the switch?
I'm thinking of just selling my 3DS and just playing on showdown for my pokemon fix until then
What pokemon would Ryan Gosling fuck?

Realistically, how would Necrozma even win against Solgaleo or Lunala? Both resist its only typing and Lunala can hit it with a SE Stab Ghost move. Wouldnt you say its an oversight?
>>33556822
No, because if the anime taught you anything it's that typing isn't everything.
>>33556822
Zygarde is supposed to be way stronger than Xerneas, anon.
lore =/= metagame
>>33556822
Necrozma can actually win against Solgaleo 1v1 if it's a defensive set. IDK about Lunala.
Now that the dust has finally settled.
How much of this still holds true, and what's no longer true?
>>33556685
Its another genwar bait thread. If you wanted a genwar you should have picked a better gen
>>33556685
we need an objective list, not opinions
i was making one myself but i got lazy
>When using L=A mode, the R button does not function
doesnt every gen do it like this?
i realize that doesn't excuse it but if this is supposed to be about g7 shouldnt it be things specific to these games?
