The three starters.
Hopefully tutors patch them up.

>>30162956
What's wrong with being able to copy Quiver Dance and Baton Pass it to something else in the same turn?

>>30162956
Vikavolt.

Silvally

give that cocksucker recover

>>30163285
I forgot how retarded looking pokemon gens 4-6 are, thanks for reminding me. I gotta say they did a good ass job on the designs of sun & moon tho

EVER.

>>30163224
>Primarina

Really? I thought its typing would make it a monster, especially with that SpA

>>30163224
Did anyone think Gumshoos would be that good tho

Like, I know Diggersby blew everyone's minds but still

Passimian and Oranguru. Fuck doubles.

>>30163618
i am positive that gamefreak barely understands how their own game works and they decide stats randomly

>>30163586
It is, but it's hard to actually hit something.
My best ruse is a life orb set to lure a threat and nuke it.

Nihilego

Hello? It's not even a legendary. Delete your post.

The stupid anchor. Out of all the possible type combinations, they chose one of the most boring.

Unable to disable something with sleep powder and not having the bulk to tank attacks when you need it.

Oranguru. You barely fought against them in this game.

Meanwhile, I don't know how many Alolan Raichu I've fought in this game, but I know it was more than 2 times

>>30163892
>sleep powder
The only Pokemon faster than Oricorio with that move is Jumpluff.

To have so many single-stage lines in such a small Pokedex is unforgivable imo.

Literally 55% of all the new lines introduced this generation don't evolve.

>>30163959
You can use sleep power on Pokemon that don't have it, cousin

>>30163224
>Kommo-o's signature move
Neck the piece of shit who made it special.

>>30163967
>Komala doesn't evolve

I can DEFINITELY understand Bruxish, Drampa, Turtonator, Oricorio, and Togedemaru. I can accept Mimikyu. I can kinda sorta not really accept Pyukumuku.

But the fact that Komala didn't get an evolution is a sin of the highest degree

>>30163967
At least Mimikyu, Drampa, and Komala aren't shit

>>30163909
Now that I think about it, I don't think I've even seen that thing or its counterpart in the game at all other than as a npc in the overworld.

Not even in a trainer battle. What the shit.

>>30162956
Needs quiver dance
>>30163346
Give it calm mind and disc the 20% boost to type
Just silvally in general
This big sub plot of type null and friendship
Not even a cutscene or mention ,Gladion just suddenly has Silvally

Pyukumuku. Fucking useless Wobbuffetmon.

>>30164028
>Komala isn't shit
Really? I didn't catch one because non-evolving mons are boring, but Hau's Komala seemed pretty weak.

>>30163967
>Mimikyu doesn't evolve with high happiness to take off the disguise
there's no way that somebody at GF didn't suggest this

>>30164062
I'm so sad.

>>30164066
It has a higher attack than Kommo O, has good special bulk, and is immune all to status except sleep
It'll do good in lower tiers

>>30164103
Also it has Sucker Punch, Earthquake and Return for strong physical moves and Rapid Spin guarantees it will have a niche somewhere

>>30164142
>>30164103
damn I guess I shouldn't have overlooked it.
Can you imagine how beast its evolution would be.

>>30164066
It's actually a decent support. Good stats, a crazy ability, and access to Rapid Spin, Wish, Sucker Punch.

>>30163909
>>30164033
I definitely fought a trainer with both it and Passimian. It was before the 4th island too

>>30164039
it's no different than Gen2. Silver learns how to not be a piece of shit and suddenly has a happiness evolution in Crobat (who Gladion also has)

They're both Pokemon thieves trying to prove something to a mostly absent and abusive criminal parent, who learn how to be strong and caring on their own

>>30163967
>Oricorio, Mimikyu, Pyukumuku
They're mons whose whole gimmick is different forms or a gimmicky ability, not sure why anyone expected them to evolve. Although mimikyu not having different forms based on other popular mons is a travesty
>Tagedemaru
It's a pikaclone, the only one that actually evolves is pikachu
>Bruxish, Komala, Drampa, Turtonator
These should all have evos and/or pre-evos

>>30164066
Because it is.

And can't even learn Rest for fucks sake.

>>30164810
Around the time yo get to Sophocles and before Po Town, a collector has both.

>>30164071
Silvally says hi.

>>30164007
>only one pokemon faster than it with Sleep Powder
>literally all of them except Smeargle is weak to flying
What is your point?

>>30162956
Just put a picture of every gen 7 Pokemon except Tapus and UBs

>>30163798
Hoopa is the same type as Lunala.

>>30164025
What the fuck is a Koala going to evolve into? Koalas can't even get themselves out of their evolutionary dead end.

>>30164810
mustve missed that one then.

>>30163224
Ultra Beasts are not legendary

>>30165347
Kangaroo

>>30165347
true, koalas are pretty much dead at this point

but I just wanted Komala to just evolve into SOMETHING, and I'm sure lots of other people did, too

>>30165347
There are plenty of ways they could've gone about it.
Literally anything that doesn't make it look like a sleeping baby. Komala feels like if abra didn't evolve, design-wise.

>>30165347
A bigger koala would've been fine by me.

>>30165835
This.

The whole franchise is wasted potential because the dumb fucks of Gamefreak and not literally any other company who can, you know, actually program and basic stuff like that were the ones who struck dumb gold.

It specially shows when you play Pokemon games not made by Gamefreak and how superior they are to the mainline games in nearly every way.

>>30165898
Actually agree with this

>>30164902
It can't learn Rest? What? Why?

My only problem with Oricorio is you can't use non-Normal Z-Moves with Revelation Dance

>>30163967
Mimikyu makes up for his lack of evoloution by it's ability, stats, and moveset.

>>30165898
Imagine if a pokemon game was made by BioWare

And here's one of the only mons this gen I was actually hoping stayed single-stage

>>30165898
I do think that GF makes a lot of dumb decisions but Pokemon is a giant, successful franchise because GF knows the audience well. I think they should let the B team pitch in for more mainline games because HGSS and BW2 were excellent entries

>>30162956
You can probably list 80% of the gen 7 mons in this thread. They're incredibly disappointing compared to past gens.

We post unexpected bros.

Alolan Persian

Man, did this thing grow on me! I hated its design prior to the games' release. Hated it with burning passion!

The game wasn't that hard, but it wasn't too easy either, so I kinda struggled early on.

Caught me a Technician Meowth that turned out to be a straight up bro with its STAB Bite + Technician boost throughout the games.

Reminds me of my regular Persian I raised back in middle school, man. It's in my bank right now and I can't wait to fucking make these two meet each other. :v(

>>30163586

Prima would be a monster if it's Pixilate tier HA was available.

>>30166262
Agreed, this is lame.

Me

>>30166241
Because then it'd get free full heals with no drawback or condition. Should've gotten Slack Off at least though.

>>30166671
Oh, I completely misunderstood its ability. I thought it was immune to all status effects except sleep.

>>30166611
>:v

>>30166568
Besides smogon bird/sword/frog and the megas, Gen 6 didn't have anything game changing. And 80% is being stupid, it's 40% at worse

>>30166469
Never mind Gamefreak's fine

>people want komala to evolve
For what purpose? Its entire gimmick is that it's qt, constantly sleeping, and somehow hits hard as fuck. It's supposed to be funny. An evolution will lose the humor.

>>30167107
There are plenty of mons that evolve who still have their own gimmicks.
Besides I personally don't find Komala to be especially humorous so I'd be fine with losing that.
