3 of the pseudo lengendaries can't mega-evolve. Ampharos can.

Gen IV pulled the same shit. Right down to one of them being an early route Electric type. The only difference is there is one more thanks to Staraptor.

>>28426589
Gen 2 was really more a Gen 1.5

>>28426589
Gen IV only has the Chimchar line, Magmortar and Heatran as fire types.

>Gen VI had 2 poison types

Pokemon having useless typings

>Flying type on Gyarados
>Psychic on Lugia
>All those normal/flying type pokemon
>All those Rock/Ground type pokemon

>>28426625
It wasn't though

>>28426617
Yeah but who tf cares abput mega evolutions? It always was a stupid concept.

>>28426589
>>28426622
I think I found the reason why these gens originally fell flat to me.

Gen 1 only had one Poison type

>>28426689
Gen I had the most Poison types though

>>28426672
Many of the pokemon from that gen were supposed to be on gen 1, including Ho-oh.

>>28426695
You telling me every Gen after Gen 1 had 0 poison types?

>>28426672
It was... kinda.
Originally the series was supposed to end at that point, so we wouldn't really have the concept of gens.

>>28426685

Starters with HP 19/19 or 21/21.
I know: is for casuality, but I can't stand it, I reset the game until it give me 20/20 or 22/22.

>finally "Gotcha! Lugia was caught!"
>after all the hard work decide to see how low I got his HP before he got caught
>completely forget Gen 2 heals your Pokemon in the PC
>throw autism fit and lie to friends and tell him he was at 1hp and I caught him with a pokeball because I was that good
That little transition from Gen 1 to 2 always triggered me because I spent a lot of time playing Gen 1 and had a ritual where I'd heal my newly caught Pokemon as a bonding ritual thinking they'd love me if I showed them mercy as their new master. I'd even double/triple heal them at the Pokemon Center so they'd be Pikachu vs Brock's Onix tier levels of power before I battled gyms

>>28427116
>playing silver as a kid

>throw pokeball first turn

It was kinda anticlimactic but it felt so good regardless

I like bugs okay?

I struggle to play the older games these days because the ALL CAPS for Pokemon names in some of them stands out too much for me to handle.

>>28426786

>Friendship = Power, no matter what, and friendship will literally overpower any real mechanic that might get in the way (except for when it doesn't for plot purposes)
>Pokemon are ONLY capable of saying their names
I get that it's a merchandise thing, but it's starting to leak into the games, too. The fact that normies actually get confused that pokemon make animal noises in the game is astounding.

There's genuinely enough of them to validate making a "cosmic" type, at this point.

And that's not even getting into how doing that would be fucking expensive. Recording 800~ lines just so Poliwag goes POLI POLI when you encounter one? Fuck.

Nidoran still hasn't been retconned into a singular species with gender differences like Meowstic.

>>28427276
Yep it was retarded. At least they were more fire types in Platinum that weren't Ponytas.

>>28427323
And Nidorina/Nidoqueen can't breed for whatever reason.

>>28427281
>Cities in the anime are fucking 100 times bigger than they are in the game, to the point that it's almost laughable
Are you fucking stupid? This is one of the few things the anime does well. Of course something called city is going to have city size.

>>28427323
It would fuck up the dex numbers, come on, anon.

I think he was complaining about how small the game cities are, not the other way around.

>>28427473
You may as well just not play JPRGs then if you're gonna complain about that.

>shit man the village I start in only has 4 houses, a shop that only sells adventuring gear and a church how the fuck am I supposed to immerse myself like this

You know what? While we're at it, it's also complete bullshit how NPCs can only say the same thing over and over and over, right? I mean anime characters have all sorts of lines they say. BRING THE GAMES UP TO SPEED ALREADY GF

>>28427500
>>28427473
I meant more that the anime will take even small towns, like Fallabor town, which is obviously meant to be tiny, and turn it into a fucking huge bustling city. Obviously the games can't all have huge crammed cities with true-to-life homes and interiors, but the anime just kinda assumes that every single town in pokemon is colossal.

>>28427529
Ok, the anime transforming TOWNS into CITIES? That being kinda dumb I can agree with.

>>28427401
When was the last time it was used and did well?

>>28426838
of course we can't
if we use that shit, we will turn in homo redditors

The starters' typings not being symmetrical annoys me. Why even have the FWG convention for starters if their secondary typings are going to break that?
Gen 6 is the only gen where the secondary typings form symmetry: Fighting beats Dark beats Psychic beats Fighting. Until you consider Protean, at least.

Gamefreak could do something interesting with the secondary typings: for example, Fighting/Steel/Fairy is another trio of typings that beat each other.
Flying/Rock/Fighting is another, as is Grass/Poison/Ground and Steel/Rock/Fire.

For instance, what if the Grass starter. who would normally lose to Fire, had a secondary typing that beats Fire's secondary typing? It would spice up in-game rival battles by eliminating the "weaker/stronger" rival's starter choice. Wouldn't that be more interesting than yet another pure Fire, yet another pure Water and yet another pure Grass. We have plenty of those already, those typings bore me to tears.

>>28427388
Swords Dance/Acrobatics/Seed Bomb and either Sleep Powder or Substitute is pretty solid, even online to a degree.

>>28427998
b-but muh gen IV starters

>>28427998
Gen IV almost did that but Empoleon had to fuck it up for everyone.

>Originally the series was supposed to end at that point
No it wasn't.

>>28427314
Psychic is the cosmic type

>Grass is a type
>None of the Pokemon that are Grass type are actually made of grass

>>28426664
I think it's more about variety.
I give you Gyarados' typing but they just made sense like that. Although i understad your frustration.
Steelix typing was godsent. Probopass makes sense but it would have been good to have him, say, as a Rock/Electric with Levitate, or a pure Rock Golem. 4x weaknesses is crippling as fuck, but not every poké has to be competitive.

>>28427937
Arash Omati used one to win German Nationals this year.

>>28427116
>had a ritual where I'd heal my newly caught Pokemon
I still do this.

WAY too many things trigger me.

>Shitmons like Volbeat, Illumise, Spinda, Grumpig, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, etc (mostly gen 3 absolute trash) still exist and have absolutely no redeeming value, even them taking up a Pokedex slot is pointless and offensive; they're barely Pokemon, they do nothing interesting, were never worth hunting or catching or using and are so ugly they drag the standard of Pokemon design down
>They still haven't sorted out Flying/Levitate and have dug themselves into a hole they can't come back from; shit like Mega Charizard X gets hit by Earthquake and shit like Dodrio does not
>Absolutely no balance with Megas; Gengar gets one but Starmie does not; Lucaro gets one but Zoroark does not. I don't mind popular mons getting them, not at all, but there are so many Pokemon that are juuuust under-usuable that a Mega is exactly what they need and they're usually the ones with the most interesting concepts to go off of.
>Legendaries were better when they were obscure, almost cryptid-like creatures instead of "hey you know that thing from the bible? this is that". Yeah sure it's cool they're powerful but I draw the line at Groudon and Kyogre, we did NOT need the personification of time and space and ESPECIALLY not a creator deity. They add nothing, they're not well designed, they simply exist to one-up the lore of the previous gen.
>Nearly every single pseudo is Dragon type. It was cool when it was Dragonite because he was the only Dragon type in the entire dex, it made him unique and mysterious. Now he's a budget Salamence. Show some fucking consistency.
>The idea that Pokemon are some kind of animal analogue. No, I don't give a shit what the marketing guide says they're Pocket MONSTERS and there's no coming back from that. They didn't NEED "a whale Pokemon" or "a pig Pokemon" just because those exist as animals. I'm fine with them being prolific but they don't REPLACE animals, that's fucking retarded.

Rotom didn't change types in Gen IV and Arceus was impossible to obtain without an Action Replay. If you're gonna suggest that, then you may as well say that Arcanine was totally in the game too.

I was going to say it did change formes in platinum but apparently you're right, it changed formes but not type. Weird.

The Ghastly line too. being the only ghost though, I was so confused in later gens when psychic didn't affect them because it was super effective on that line. Then I realized it was the poison.

>>28428543
Is this bait?

All of my friends and a lot of people in the pokemon community in general believe a Clone of a legitimately obtained event pokemon is exactly the same in collectible value as the original event pokemon.

Even though the clone didn't actually come from the real event.

Lets use Gen 3 Eon ticket latias for example. If I use a gen 3 Eon ticket from the nintendo power magazine and I scan it and get an eon ticket in my game that is going to be legit. And my friends are going to argue that the latias they got by cloning one is real. Even though the clone didn't use the ticket at all nor did the latias clone come from the island you're supposed to catch latias.

It just blows my mind that some people just can't grasp this. I've tried talking to them endlessly and they just don't get it.

Are you seriously complaining about Mega-Pinsir? That thing is a machine. Its one of the great examples of how having a bad typing doesn't always hold a pokemon back.

>>28427998
Gen 2 did it too. By not adding secondary type to neither of the three.

>>28428678
Perhaps whatever replacement they make for gyms will get a dark one...eventually

>>28428431
It was a typo, nothing special.

Yes, but it won't be a dark gym. There's already a dark elite 4, if "close enough" doesn't bother you.

Yeah, Agatha had a Haunter and 2 Gengars, pretty funny stuff. She's more of a poison type specialist if you think about it, she's got Golbat and Arbok also, and all the gen I ghosts were also poison type. Lance had 2 Dragonairs and his Dragonite, an elite 4 with non-final stage evolution, pretty funny stuff. Aerodactyl and Gyaradosare as close to dragons as you get without being an actual dragon, I guess. I think that Dragon was intended to be more of an archetype than a type in gen I, considering that only the Dratini family gets it yet there are several Dragon-esque pokemon like Charizard, Gyarados and Aerodactyl.

>>28428711
>>28428774
Not that guy but I get what he's saying. Pinsir didn't need Flying or Aerilate as a crutch; it could have had a Bug equivalent and run with that. Give Aerilate, you know, the FLYING TYPE SUPER NEW ABILITY to maybe I don't know one of the five/six banal as fuck Normal/Flying birds everyone hates?

>>28428619
You both sound autistic desu.

I don't complain that Pinsir is good or bad in competitions. I've used it since Gen I and i've always loved it, even if most of the time others could have done a better type/move job. And now Megas are getting out of the picture...

I can buy the "no one thought to try and make Pokemon mate before gen 2". I can even buy the "no one was nice enough to their Golbat before gen 2". But you seriously expect me to believe that there was never a single situation across two generations where someone taught their Piloswine Ancient Power?

Confusion can proc or not depending on which moves you select. Not that you have any way to know this, but data mining and save state abuse in ROMs shows that, at least on the battle subway in gen 5, the AI will not hit itself in confusion by selecting one move over another,

So yes, the system IS in fact, potentially, rigged.

the design is clearly better, Pinsir's mouth looks like retarded piano keys, and his eyes are too anime. Heracross is a cutemon that gives the impression of being strong at the same time.

Nah senpai, I get you but I don't like them. They are the exact opposite of what I feel Pokemon should represent. They're all the same except their coloured hats; they're all the same type (wasting THREE slots on them) their backstory is boring and at the same time all-encompassing (Praise be! They're the personification of <x aspect of life>!) There is nothing about them that is redeeming.

I know they do NOW, that's what I don't like. Originally Gamefreak/Nintendo were undecided, which is why in older materials you can see dogs or lobsters or whatever. It makes no sense biologically, ecologically or geologically to have Pokemon replace animals. Do Trevenants create oxygen? Do Beedrills pollinate Trevenants? Do people mass-fish Goldeen and sell their eyeless corpses at markets? If not, what the fuck do they eat? Generic brown shit? It makes no sense that way. They could at least say animals USED to exist or something.

But that's only my opinion, though. Heracross and its sweet Sp. Def have a nice place in my heart, but cucking Pinsir day and night does not.

I was talking about the new pokemons not the ones from the previous gens.
Also in DP, you could only get an Eevee after you get the national dex. The only fire pokemons you get in DP before the league were Chimchar and a fucking Ponyta.
At least in Platinum, you could get Houndoom, Flareon and Magmar as well before the league.

>>28429337
Pokemon in general has an obsession with inane text that's unskippable and still too slow even on Fast text speed.
Healing at a pokecenter, leveling up a pokemon, picking up an item, I could go on.

>>28426632
Gen IV only introduced 2 fire type evolution-lines and one fire type legendary because Sinnoh is bases on the Japanese island Hokkaido, a COLD island. So it makes sense for a COLD island to have few fire types and more ice types such as weavile, froslass, mamoswine, snover, abomasnow, glaceon. Like, why would the main characters of the story wear winter clothing if the place was full of fire types heating up the air?

Plus, Hoenn, being a TROPICAL island made sense to have only 2 ice type evolution-lines and one ice type legendary (funny, same case as Sinnoh with fire types) but plenty of water types and a decent amount of fire types, but because it is TROPICAL ISLAND.

But still, 10 years later people still don't get it and keep complaining about not having enough fire types in Sinnoh but nobody cares about ice types in Hoenn. They both even rocked the same concept of having an Elite Four member with these typings in their respective region: Glacia and Flint, regardless of both not having that many pokémon in their disposition to be truly specialized.

>>28427405
Not even all of them do that, the more bestial ones just roar. Charizard's roar probably matches his in game roar pretty closely.

What I find weird though is that the games do make it seem like they have the same name saying thing, but it's inconsistent. Jigglypuff/Purrin would say Puri when talked to, but Slowpoke would say Buwa. It's been changed since gen 4, but still.

I can't tell if Gamefreak doesn't redo the cries to be like the anime because they are afraid it would turn people off, or if they are just lazy.

>>28429588
Nobody cares about ice types.

Kill yourselves painfully

The fear that a bunch of the awesome looking Pokemon in the Sun & Moon trailers will end up being low stat garbage.

>B-b-but Charjabug was shown at level 25 in one of the trailers

He'll evolve at levels 7 and 10, barely break 400 BST, and be relegated to early game just like every other 3 stage bug family. Get over it.

>>28429588
And yet Sinnoh has a volcano so they could have easily introducing a few fire types living there with Heatran. Especially that DP has just Ponyta before the league if you don't have
Infernape.

>wah but nobody cares about ice types in Hoenn!
It's because Ice is a crappy type and at least you could get these full two new lines rather than an evolved form of a previous mon and a legendary who are both available after the league.

Not every 3 stage bug line has been bad.

Butterfree is also very respectable for in game use these days too.

>>28429588
fire types are kinda necessary to kill bulky steel types, not to mention they hit a lot of common pokemon (grass/bug) supereffectively, and fire type moves are somewhat limited in their distribution (only fire and normal/fairy types seem to get them).

Meanwhile, Ice gets hit supereffectively by everything, and doesn't kill anything important other than dragons maybe, which usually have a 4x weakness to it, so you may as well just slap ice beam onto any fucking water type, you don't really need STAB.

I'm primarily a bugfag, followed by maybe steelfag. I like a few fire types too, but was mainly just pointing out some mechanical differences. Fire type STAB and fire type pokemon are simply better for playthroughs, is all.

I personally think Ice has got a shitty treatment from GF, along with rock, and look forward to the buffs they'll get in sun and moon... right? Right, guys?

Keep them on life support for one glorious generation before a new type and a regional bird with an OP HA finally shove them into an open grave the very next gen?

Don't get me wrong, I think megas are overkill, too. It's more along the lines of the whole rarity thing.

>Finite evolution items

I should be able to buy shit at the Battle House/Mansion/Mason/Frontier that lets me change anything I fucking want about my pokemon. It makes more sense to get make my starter perfect with lots of effort and training rather than throw him in the trash because of his imperfect IV's and nature.

They need to retcon a lot of the type effectiveness to re balance the shittier types. They also need to just buff the base stats of the gorillian shitmon bugs there are.

Not everything can be competitive but nothing has to be pointlessly ass either.

There's 3 pseudo-legendaries that are not dragon. Tyranitar, slaking, and metagross.

>>28429197

If animals don't exist in the Pokemon world, how did some of them receive classifications? Primeape, for example, is classified as the Pig Monkey Pokemon. How would someone be able to identify it as the Pig Monkey Pokemon if they didn't know what a pig or monkey was, and therefore, would not be able to compare it to either?

any mega evolution triggers the fuck out of me. if you use megas you are a shitty baby who cant play the game normally and need your hand held to beat the game.
