Where does /vp/ fit on Bartle's taxonomy? I've always liked the Pokemon games for giving a variety of gameplay.

When I first play a game I enjoy exploring the world/seeing new mons. Then I go for the achievements of beating the game, catching all legendaries and filling the dex. Then I sometimes get into competitive a bit.

Replace killers with Smogon.
Replace Explorers with comfy fags
Replace achievers with autistic bicycle simulators.
Socializers are some kind of normie probably.

Now you understand basically every argument on here about smogon, best region, injection and difficulty.

75% killer 25% achiever here

>>25593577
it depends on the game, what a shitty idea that you would be in every game the same.

pokemon is usually about achieving and exploring for me. I won't give you abstract numbers which can't represent reality properly though.

1. the moon
2. deep-sea trenches done right, not hoenn's empty attempt at it
3. actually expansive forests with variety instead of constant bugs
4. very deep caves without zubat everywhere and actual crystal structures

I think a cool setting would be like an island chain. Or maybe a region centered around the Great Lakes, either the ones in America or east Africa.

Hello /vp/. This is just an exercise in theming I've taken, and decided it was neat enough to share here.

With all the speculation on what's gonna be new, what could be changed, what could be added and all that crap going on I decided to take a look at what makes the different types in pokemon be themselves.

I decided to not look at the pokemon themselves because, well, they draw inspiration from way too many sources for way too different results. Instead I decided to take a look specifically at the moves available for each type to see if I could pinpoint their main aesthetic, what makes the moves of a certain type be what they are and what are the standards and recurring themes for them. Some are easier than others. The plan is for me to put out one of these daily, or at least try to if there's any interest or discussion. Personally I think theming is interesting beause it's somethign to pay attention to in many sorts of media, from videogames to novels and all.

Also I have way too much free time.

So for starters, I decided to look at the flying type moves.

The types are probably just 18 inherent energies that interact differently with each other, so named for the Pokemon that have them.
Charizard is a dragon, but is not Dragon type because it doesn't have the Dragon energy. Bug type is named for most of its possessors being bugs, but not all Bug types are bugs and not all bugs are Bug type.
That's just what I assume, anyway.
Go on.

1 - MANEUVERABILITY

This is the bread and butter of the flying-type moves as far as I can tell. Most of them have a recurring aesthetic of mobility, aerial superiority and high speed movement in order to nail the enemy but not necessarily anything special aside being 2fast4u. It's all about being able to pull the maneveurs.

Aerial Ace, Acrobatics, Bounce, Brave Bird and others all draw from that. Three of these are very wide-spread to even pokemon that don't have wings, so the requirement is clearly not type related - You can pull it off, as long as you can make yourself mobile enough for acrobacies.

Bounce is a funny case. It's flying type when in theory it's pretty much a fancier Body slam, but that's the thing - it works just like Fly. You are not just ramming into the enemy, you are taking to the skies and dive bombing at them just like a bird, even without wings. It takes a lot of control over your own mobility to pull it off, which is why it's classified as a flying type move

Roost is also a funny case. It draws into the "maneveur" aesthetic but it's not nearly as dynamic or fast paced, yet youc an still make a point for it. You land and rest - it might sound kinda paradoxal or even stupid, but completely stopping your own mobility is an advanced maneveur as well. You give it up for the moment and lose the flying type because at that moment you are not doing what it does best - zapping around all over the place.

I really fucking hate this gopher. It takes no skill to use, all you have to do is switch it in and your problems are over. Why is this allowed? The retards at Smogon ban Swagger but they don't ban a gopher with two immunities that instantly shits on your careful hazard placement whenever it switches in? The fuck is that?

The design is shit too, it's literally just a gopher that was abducted by GF, who then glued some drills on it and called it a day. If you like it, well, you can go shove a grenade up your ass. The explosion will deal no damage to this gopher.

No seriously, FUCK THIS GOPHER! And fuck whoever uses it too. It's not original. It's not fun. It's not your favorite. It's pure cancer that you use for easy wins, you shameless autistic faggots.

Fuck you.
