6, but they're unevolved

>>33297429

The location based evos aren't possible in Hg/Ss correct? Or is that just Glaceon and Leafeon

>>33297429
that team makes me nostalgic but in hindsight you see how shitty the movesets were

>>33297437
yeah they're not
but it's not like there is excuse for them to not be possible anyway

This is just straight up embarrassing.

Gen 5 was a mistake that carried on for too long.

>>33297300
I can understand not having all 4 moveslots filled as a workaround for the bad AI, but no 6 mons that late into the game is so shit

Piece of shit gave me more trouble then any fight in a game after Platinum. Granted all my fighting mons ended up having a -speed nature so it kept outspeeding and critting with drill peck.

At the very least Gen 5 had rematch teams unlike say

>>33297429
The unevolved states make sense though. He was too cruel to his Pokemon which is why Golbat didn't evolve, and he had no friends so he couldn't evolve Kadabra and Haunter.

and course, gen 5 also have BW2

>>33298261
He is a comic relief. The other two have other moves because they always perform Swords Dance before, due to scripting. There's no chance Roserade would performe Petal Dance before other moves, so they just said "hey, who cares. No one should lose to Tierno, let's just show his mons love to dance like him".
It's not hand holding, it's just a "for fun" design. I'm not against it.

So why is Hau's Komala female?

>>33297300
I'm more pissed off that they don't have full move sets

Someone post that Hala league team whe he has no more moves than 2 or 3

so, which game had the best final story battle?

>>33297783
Less moves actually makes it harder because there's less of a chance that it picks a shitty move

>>33298434
Red or Ghetsis

>>33298205
Yeah but ot starts at an embarassingly low levels instead.

>>33298480
or, here's an idea, how about them programming a better decision making AI to ensure it can actually pick the right choice out of 4 options?

>using Challenge Mode as an example
Getting Challenge Mode from the get-go without Action Replay/PKHeX is pretty annoying, though. You'd need a friend who has already completed Black 2 specifically (White 2 doesn't work, that gives you Easy Mode) and you have to have the key transferred to you.
If you are the Black 2 player who completed the game, resetting your save won't let you keep the key for your replay run. You cannot get the Hard Mode key back from your friend, assuming you gave it to them, because players can only transfer keys they unlocked themselves. That means if your friend is a White 2 player, it will be impossible for you to ever get Challenge Mode.
Without Challenge Mode, B2W2 retains the same level of difficulty that BW had, with gym leaders capping at 3 Pokemon, and the Elite 4 using a team of 4.
By the way, Challenge Mode only makes major changes like that to important trainers. The other trainers are still just as easy, but have their levels ramped up a bit.

what the fuck were they thinking?

>>33298531

Jesus fuck.

Anyway he's a terrible steel type trainer but if you look at him as a "mineral" trainer he is one of the most interesting.

Steven's team is great. Shame they completely ruined it in the ORAS rematch.

>>33297429
Even Sacred Gold was no challenge

>>33300015
I keep wondering why they gave him a fucking Carbink

>>33298118
BW had an excuse because the main game only let you and others use unovan pokemon and they had rematches
other games don't have that excuse

>>33297783
But that problem wasn't in Gen 5? What the fuck are you on right now?

It fits the mineral niche I guess. I kinda wish they could've given him Diancie or had him give it for the event since he is the rich and powerful rare stone collector. That's just autism though. I also wish Olivia kept gigalith since it was also on her first team and fits the crystal/ jewelry theme. I know they never use hidden abilities, but if it had sandstream, it'd be nice.

The differences between Hugh and Cheren make me feel a bit underwhelmed.

ORAS post-credits May/Brendan

>>33297300
Why the fuck would they only make some of them have only 2 or 3 moves? I understand the AI makes dumb choices, but for fuck sake atleast give it moves to where the AI wont fuck up no matter what it picks. They could of easily put mean look and toxic on that fucking crobat. Yeah the AI may spam them, but I would hate to get hit with a mean look toxic combo anyway, especially if I have to worry about flinching from air slash which they also could of given it instead of acrobatics.

Use your fucking heads GF...

>>33297429
>three of his pokémon can confuse
>one of them has thunder wave
Terrifying when you know what pokémon RNG is capable of

>>33298523
It was for story reasons, they had to take it easy on the player considering what the N battle was going to be like

>>33298496
Red is postgame though

>>33297429

Reminder that he couldn't get Kadabra and Haunter to evolve becausehe had no friends to trade with.

Also he couldn't make Golbat happy.

>>33303806
Why wasn't "it" for story reasons in RBY, DPP, XY and SM then?

>Shame they completely ruined it in the ORAS rematch.
They'll ruin it when you stop pretending that Armaldo isn't just as shit as Carbink

rematches is kind of cheating
if we go with rematches then quite honestly, Blue has the superior team

Steven's Armaldo is trash

>>33304177
That's not a rematch, dumbass.

>>33304199
it's postgame content and the closest thing to a champion rematch Emerald has

comparing it to blue's rematch team is 100% valid

>>33298118
>>33298122
challenge mode has complete 6 mons with higher levels, Gen 6 & 7 don't have that shit

Atlease they have complete 4 moves, actually useful moves and have actually useful damn items!

File: Champions_strongest.jpg (1MB, 1572x2594px) Image search: [Google]

1MB, 1572x2594px

also here's all the champions at their strongest (within their own games)

Blue: better movesets overall, 2 new additions that are vastly more powerful than what they're replacing, overall: good effort
Lance: Replaces his weaker dragonites with garchomp and salamence, which is good. Replaces his aerodactyl with Altaria, which is one heck of a downgrade and overall better moves. Decent effort
Steven: It's his R/S team, with minimal moveset changes. It's okay but honestly makes him one of the weaker on the list.
Cynthia: Higher levels aside it's actually slightly worse than her standard platinum team. It's still Cynthia though so it aint easy.
Alder: levels aside, it's worse than Ghetsis. We can all see how he lost from them clearly.
Iris: replacing druddigon with salamence is a serious upgrade, giving her DD ace guillotine not so much. Still like Cynthia, this team was dangerous to start with.
Diantha: 3 letter: LOL
Kukui: same team, higher levels, still bad

like, if they were slightly higher leveled and had actual good movesets it would be fine, but this is just stupid

>>33304826
In case it runs out of pp for the other one.

>>33307214
I don't think enemy Pokemon can run out of PP in the Gen I games.

>>33304268

Fighting as in actually used in battles as opposed to HM slave/slot filler (was raising an eevee to turn into an Umbreon to sync for Giratina)

>>33304826

Gen 1 trainers can only have one Pokemon with a custom moveset, every other mon just has the last 4 level up moves.
