>>26080104
Do Pokemon in Go have more than one move? If they only have one, I can understand why they'd remove immunities (not that they should dumb the game down that much, I'm getting Conquest flashbacks).

Well it makes sense to start out gen1 only, then expand to other gens over the app's lifespan. That way they have the ability to grow over time.

>complex

doesn't TCG do something similar? i think ground and fighting are the same type, so are bug and grass, so the type matchups are screwed as well

>People wanted a freemium Pokemon phone app made for people who do not regularly play the games to function like the games
>4 moves, full movepools full of various type attacks for coverage and expecting them to jump whole hog with all 721 mons at once

>they actually want competitive phone game Pokemon

Are you really this fucking retarded? Did you fail to understand who this app is for to begin with?

>>26080510
The type matchups are dependent on the card itself. X isn't strong against Y type. X type is strong against Y Pokemon who has X weakness. A different copy of Y Pokemon could be weak to something else entirely.

>>26080354
Are you implying that dapper young dog is responsible for this brutal mentality against genwunners?

>>26080510
Yes the TCG does this

>Ice and Water are one type
>Normal and Flying are one type
>Ground and Fighting are one type
>Grass and Bug are one type
>Ghost, Psychic, and Poison are one type

>>26080349
Its just 3 fucking magnemites stuck together bro

>>26080621
Yes... Three magnet monsters magnetically sticking together is a logical evolution. Because magnets are known for sticking to metal.

>>26080596
Poison gets lumped into grass occasionally, and Rock is in Ground/Fighting type too.

Also Dark is called Darkness type, Steel is called Metal type and Electric is called Lightning type.

>>26080658
They still put poison mons in grass? I haven't played since the RSE era where they stopped doing that

>>26080656
But

Its just

3

Magnemites

Stuck together

So, it's only going to have the first 151 Pokemon?

>>26080707
And lucario ;^)

>>26080692
Yes
That is the concept

>>26080692
Because they're magnets, that's the whole point of it. It's also why they got the Steel-type in Gen 2.

>>26080349
Listen I love Magneton too bruh, more than Magnezone even
but it's not a very creative design

You people would shit yourselves in anger over anything.

It'll either be >genwun or "How the hell can I find my specific pokebro?". Personally I'd like Niantic to keep the assets count low and put their development towards building the game, so I'm pretty happy with the original 151 for now.

Also have never heard of anyone complaining that Ground hurts Flying in Mystery Dungeon, or Pokemon Shuffle, or Rumble World. I actually am having a hard time thinking of a side game where Flying is immune to Ground.

That being said, I'm hoping that how battles are handled is overhauled before release because I'm not liking the look of what's there now. Not a big fan of the evolution mechanic as well, though I'm glad that they didn't keep the tendency in other side games to have nothing evolve ever and you have to go and catch each pokemon separately, so I'll take that as an even trade.

Of course, there's no real point in saying any of this since most everyone here has been howling about how terrible it all is ever since they announced the name without any other real information whatsoever.

The game could mail you a $100 bill on download and you'd complain about how the bill is folded.

>>26080140
Oh come on, Fates wasn't THAT bad. They fixed Pair Up so it's not broken anymore, and the self stat debuffs from stronger weapons more than makes up for the removal of durability.

>>26080051
But eggs don't hatch into Pichu unless its parents held the right incense.

>>26082571
incense wasn't introduced till gen 4 you dingus

>>26080206
>Farfetch'd and Tangela
>Bad
If you want to make an example, at least choose Jynx.

>>26082571
Actually they do

GameFreak didn't go full retard with the incenses until gen 3-4.

Seems shitty but it could be worse, too.

>>26080266
>phones have built in NFC...

>>26084400
Every idiot who was expecting a gen 6 main game is mad. All of the 'always mad' part of the fandom is mad because they are angry and bitter human beings.

Anyone who played ingress or understands that it's a side game and will follow side game patterns are at worst neutral, though most of what I hear is excitement.

>>26079986
>>26080018
NOOOO!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD!

>>26085169
I was hoping it would be the least side-game side-game.

For stuff like Conquest and Smash Bros, I can understand not following the main game 100%. Who want Jigglypuff to be immune to Shadow Ball in Sm4sh?

But this is a 1v1 turn based strategy game, with the only gimmick being a catching gimmick. There was no reason for them to simplify the game.

the fact that every source or footage shown only has le original 151

the fact that the dataminers only found data for the 151 kanto mons

Due to all the owlfags shitposting, leddit, normies, and fagitartube's fans are flooding the board right now

Just ignore him senpai

>>26085286
That's fair to be frustrated on that, I just think that the expectations were set unreasonably high for very little reason.

I also think there's an unexplained link between fans and hating everything about that fandom that they claim to be a part of.

As long as they can teach Charizard Hyper Beam and gush over nostalgia they'll play this shit. This is a game for normies, they don't care about the autists that still play Pokemon.

>>26079986
its the most hilarious shit in the world that people are expecting some kind of revolutionary combat in a mobile phone game and will ultimately be butthurt due to expectations they made up in their head; like they're going to totally abandon their bread and butter on nintendo handhelds so that they can innovate a wold filled with idle clickers.

Well yeah, this has pretty much always been the trend. Whenever it's a Pokémon game where you have less than six Pokémon, immunities turn into ineffectivies.

Okay that is it. Over the fucking line now. It doesn't even conform to the established Pokemon evolutionary lines. So the game is out of canon and is basically some weird side shit now.
