Should I play this game or not? Should I rather play Platinum (if so, why?)
Is gen 4 good?
>>31661415
Platinum, because speed and fire types
Also the Distortion World, which is cool
Gen 4 is pretty alright, but it's a mixed bucket. I like it
>>31661415
Why is this even a question? DP's speed is horrendous compared to Platinum's.
Platinum is just D/P, not shit edition. Play that instead.
I hate this. So fucking much.
Gee, I put a lot of work into that Anon!
>>31661438
fuck you it sucks
>>31661410
I don't *hate* it, but it's pretty disappointing. It shouldn't have replaced PSS, and it's worse than Join Avenue.
You know back in my day we didn't have post-game content. After the Elite 4 all there was left to do was catch Mewtwo. And that's the way we liked it. Kids these days are spoiled. You should be grateful to even be getting a Battle Tree.
>>31661344
Okay Gramps
>>31661347
no, but it's true, anon.
you're so disillusioned if you think main pokeon games has large end-game content rather than just generic battle facility of the generation, and some small sidequests.

>*pokemon
it's a dragon. a fucking dragon. and and my buddy charizard? its a uh... fire flying lizard, and not a dragon, but an ugly turtle is. That's it they literally took torkoal give it a spiny shell like those from mario, gave it an ugly face and a hat and slapped a dragon-type on it.
The older pokemon at least were original. This thing? is just and ugly turtle, just like that stupid sand castle.
i want to fuck his belly
turtonator looks more like a dragon than charizard
Looks like Joe is hosting a competition in a few hours, have you registered yet? Or are you afraid of being beat by a bunch of 12 year olds?

Pure Flying Zubat line

Fire/Flying Rapidash
Ice/Fire Alakazam (just to give some more Fire types to Sinnoh)
Psychic/Fire Psyduck line (same as above)
Bug/Dark Scyther (no change to Scizor)

If anything, Porygon Z is a modified/hacked Porygon 2 than a natural progression. The former works more like a sweeper, whereas the latter is more defensive. Porygon Z is more of a sidegrade than an upgrade as it can't fulfill the roles Porygon 2 excels at.
>>31660946
Yup. If it was an upgrade, it would have been called Porygon3.

I really like castform but having to strap safety goggles on for sandstorm and not getting the STAB rock weather ball sucks.

Castforms whole point is it changes with the weather so I like it being normal to start with.

>>31660679
I kinda just wanted to use existing moves/abilities, but yeah that's a good idea too I guess.
Will the remaining 5 spots ever be filled? Notice how last 2 gens didn't add anything to this list.
ITT we come up with the ideas of evolutionary lines for remaining types.
Context, please
Flying will probably never happen considering Tornadus is the only permanent pure Flying type.
Bug, Dark, Poison and Ground almost always pick up second types but they might as well at least give us pure lines for every type.
>>31660574
Three stage pure type lines. There's no pure Flying, Bug, Dark, Poison and Ground line that has a base form and evolves twice.

And just like that the tables have been turned. This is why I like Trick Room.
>>31660536
I like the concept of trick room because most offensive pokemon are going to use their 10% nature boost plus 252 EVs towards the speed stat.
And then by using trick room you are virtually nullifying all of those stat points while you gain an advantage of 63 stat points (plus the nature boost) over your opponent.
It just needs an auto start ability but GF seems too scared to do it.
>>31660582
>It just needs an auto start ability but GF seems too scared to do it.
Yes, attached to the right Pokemon it could easily flip the meta on its head.
I fucking hate this thing

I know you're shitposting but I like this because none of the seals have functional legs.

Primarina isn't Grass type
And yet Primarina has been shown to be able to stand for a period amount of time.
