Slow
Crippled movesets lacking crucial and basic moves that make sense for both competitive and flavor
Slow
Cool abilities with next to no way to exploit them properly
Slow
Boring monotypes everywhere despite dex entries giving perfect reasons for interesting dual-types
Slow
Pathetically low BST
Slow
Horrible BST spreads where nothing excels and everything is average (except speed)
Slow
Notice how everything that is OU or more manages to avoid at least half of these caveats.

Hey /vp/, I'm making an autistically detailed google doc on what I think the perfect main series game would be, (None of that "all regions lol" shit)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FS8-1hEDJ57iwAPNXxmLHzWlX2VI7ULGKJ5IvTX5pnA/edit?usp=sharing
So far I've listed what I think, but I want to ask fellow autists with taste as good as mine for their opinion, so throw me your ideas please.
FORGOT TO GIVE A LINK THAT YOU CAN COMMENT ON, SORRY
HERE IS COMMENTABLE LINK:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FS8-1hEDJ57iwAPNXxmLHzWlX2VI7ULGKJ5IvTX5pnA/edit?usp=sharing
If you wanna be autistic about it than don't be a writing fag, just list items, facilities, etc.
Basically everything introduced in every game should carry over
I'm not gonna add it myself since it's a rather minor thing and idk if other anons actually care, but I'd like the options menu either moved to the main menu only, or at least given more options. I don't think I've ever touched the options menu apart from changing text speed to fast and battle style to set at the start of the game. As it is, it's really just a waste of space every time you open up the in-game menu.
If Gladion eventually has a full battle vs Ash, what will the rest of his team be?
Porygon-Z is a no-go for obvious reasons, and Lycanroc has taken Lucario's spot as the Z-Move user.
>>>/padt/
Edgy pokemons and no Type: Null.

>Lycanroc cucked Lucario
The only bad thing is that it is still the same shit with different name
Pokemon Ruby was where the original Pokemon slot was here but I fixed that. You're welcome /vp/

Was there an opposite image? "Best games in their respective series"?
>soul Silver worst.
Hahaha. No.
>>32594152
>Final Fantasy XV
Cute.
>Suikoden IV
This one fucking hurts because it could have been super-good, but it was unfinished and you'd have to deal with 'drive the boat across everywhere to find everything'. Still fun to me, though.
>Partners in Time
It's certainly the weakest but not anywhere near bad
>Dragon Quarter
At least this image has most of the shit right. Most of it.
Will pic related ever have all its squares colored in?
>>32593764
Probably not honestly. However, I could see MOST of the remainders filled in, one day..
>>32593774
I'm still hoping for Arbok, Arcanine and Primeape alternate forms.
>>32593764
You should add exclusive Z-moves as well. Being Raichu, Snorlax, Mew, Eevee and Pikachu.
Why did they decide to do this. What possessed someone and made them think, "yeah this cat who has been seen as a quadruped the whole time it's been around needs to stand on its hind legs."
It stood in the anime, maybe they just couldn't decide on a good looking standing sprite
Why are you surprised that Unova's Meowth Expy is able to stand on its hind legs?
>>32593729
>>32593752
Probably because it sat in gen 5. Not a fan of the change myself desu.
Gen 1 : The series
Gen 2 : ?
Gen 3 : ?
Gen 4 : Lots of catchable legendaries
Gen 5 : The pokedex
Gen 6 : 3d
Gen 7 : ?
>>32593694
Gen 2: Held items
Gen 3: Wireless connectivity
Gen 7: Battle Royal
>Implying the physical/special split and online battling weren't the best parts of gen 4
Gen 1 : Originality, a lovely new game series for kids
Gen 2 : Held Items
Gen 3 : Graphics and shit, all these arenas at the end
Gen 4 : I dunno, I guess Poketch meme apps
Gen 5 : that mall
Gen 6 : 3D
Gen 7 : haven't played
Its nice to see that Gamefreak were competent enough to fix the Pin Missile animation to work with M-Heracross's gun animation. Any other move + attack animation issues they fixed this gen?
>>32593422
And yet, flying Pokemon still just float there.
>>32593422
They didn't fix Talonflame's wings clipping through its body. Not as important anymore since you rarely see the bravest bird anymore but still annoying.
>>32593422
They made heliolisk open its frill when it uses volt switch, which is nice. That's all that comes to mind.
What is scolipede weak to? Who is the best partner to patch up those weaknesses?
Also, Pokémon team questions thread I guess.
>>32593286
>What is scolipede weak to?
Literally go on bulbapedia or smogon for 5 seconds you literal retard. There's probably tons of other sites that give you your answer too. Shouldn't expect any less from a Shitrena fag I guess.
>>32593286
Solipede is fucking trash as an actual fighter. Just Protect and Baton Pass away once you have accumulated enough speed.
>>32593286
Scolipede is weak to psychic, fire, flying and rock. The best partner to team it up with is a tanky water type or fast ghost type. Gengar works pretty well.
So as the Stars Wars rage on, I did some digging around and have gotten hold of some rumored info and speculation from a source who I believe to be close to Eurogamer's own based on their job and credentials. Now I'm no professional journalist, just a guy with a few contacts here and there, but stranger things have leaked from literal nobodies, and I trust this dude as they're a close acquaintance. As always though, best to take this with a grain of salt. But thought I would share with you guys anyway, even if it's not real.
Firstly, Eurogamer's report. Project 'Stars' as it was then known internally has now been titled as 'Solar Red/Lunar Blue'. Initially targeted as Q3 2017 release, then pushed back to Q4 2017, it now may have been delayed even further to Q1 next year. The games will be 3DS and Switch cross-platform; source believes Eurogamer only saw Switch assets and mistakenly reported Switch-only. Their other info was correct at the time, if somewhat outdated. The main reason for the delays is the development is reportedly being held up by the 3DS side and 3DS/Switch communication kinks. Another reason may be a schedule clash with other Nintendo titles. There won't be a new main title this year, but there will be a new Pokemon SRPG game released for the 3DS later on.
Solar Red/Lunar Blue is a loose sequel to both Red/Blue and Sun/Moon, set in Kanto - source heavily speculates Alola as well, as the two generations are supposedly being 'mashed-up' for the story. Necrozma is the mascot for SR/LB; it has two new forms - Red Prism Form in SR, Blue Prism Form in LB. There will be new Alola Region forms (which is why source speculated a return to Alola, since it doesn't make sense for Kanto). Pokemon walking will also return. Dataminers have already seen assets for this - the low-poly models are for the 3DS version.
Apparently we all missed a clue about SR/LB in the promos for Sun/Moon – and Shohei and Hoku’s story is not over just yet. That's all folks!
Maybe.
But for now ...
Fuck off faggot
So which game is the 3DS one and which is the Switch one?
>>32593303
Blue is probably for the Switch, given that's how it was when Mystery Dungeon first happened
I think it's a widely held view that the Steel and Fairy typings are probably the two typings that benefit a mon the most. The resistances they give are insane, and many shitmons have benefited from them.
This however has inevitably led to the domination of mons with these typings on the metagames, whether it be the official Singles and Doubles metagames or Smogons own metas.
Lets take a look at the image on the right for example, which is an image of the currently most used mons in BSS as of this morning, nearly half the mons listed are Steel or Fairy, with one of those mons being both. On the other hand, Dark has been rendered extinct with only Greninja left, Rock type might as well be renamed to Aerodactyl type, and Ice? LMAO
I'm not calling for these Steel and Fairy to be nerfed, I'm 100% sure that ain't gonna happen anytime soon, but other types need a buff, and by buff I don't mean in added resistances or immunities, but actual good mons who can hold their own.
It IS possible to have a good Ice mon, but they need to stop being given shitty stats and archetypes. A defensive Ice mon should NOT be a thing.
Another thing...can they nerf dual types so they don't completely invalidate most single typed pokemon? Literally only 3 single typed pokemon in that image.
>>32593206
Buff types that resist Fairy or Steel, like Fire, and by types that suffer from those, like Dark, Dragon and Fighting.
Give Rock-type some usable moves. Fuck Ice.
>>32593251
>Buff fire

As a weeb myself i must admit, between all my favs i couldn't pic one that stood above all others. i took the earliest one, but stuff likekonosubaandkyoukai no rinneare still up there.
