Thunder is a sound so actual what the fuck JRPGs

And with a 70% accuracy maybe the lightning didn'n pick the right target. You set up your own counterpoint

>>28446880
Have you ever tried to control where lightning it's? The only way to di4ect it is by putting a metal rod above your head

>>28446880
Maybe it's the noise that hurts the Pokemon. That's why it's called thunder.

This has always triggered my 'tisms desu

>noise deals electrical damage
Silly doof

>>28446880
You know what accuracy is right? It's how good you are at hitting a thing. Sure you'd never be able to dodge it, but that doesn't matter if it got shot a meter away from ya

>>28446937
More like fuck the localisation team

>X pokemon avoided the attack

>>28447314
What's it called in the nip version?

>>28447317
Avoidance doesn't imply purposeful movement, only that the subject was kept away from something.

>>28447585
かみなり which means "thunder"

>>28447585
Thunder is still called Thunder in Nip.

Thunderbolt is 100,000 volts/bolts though, which is pretty rad.

Yes because it is sooo easy aiming a powerful, wicked bolt of lightning.

>Avoidance doesn't imply purposeful movement

It does when "missing" is also an option. If an attack missed it just missed. In this situation the one doing the avoiding is you, so the movement is purposeful. Just like how you avoid a car collision or you avoid stepping in dogshit. If a bullet misses you and you just stood there when it happened saying you avoided getting hit is obtuse. The bullet missed. If you somehow managed to duck to avoid getting shot then you avoided it.

>>28446880
I can imagine it being relatively easy to miss with a bolt of lightning.

But why is Blizzard so inaccurate? Blizzards are massive storms, not singular bolts of lightning that are about an inch wide.

>>28446880
You know how in some Electric type dex entries state that if there's lighting close by or struck down, there's so-and-so around there? They should do that on the games where lighting strikes close by, there's a Zebstrika or whatever Electric type Pokemon

Kinda off topic, but still would be neat

>>28448116
As a lightningfag I agree. That would be sweet.

>>28446880
Wouldn't it be neat if they made Thunder a never-miss move against electric types?
