That poor preying mantis girl pokemon, it never had a chance to not be furbait.

Donald trump pokemon looks even more trump

Also that flying ground looks neat
And the dancing birds

This is all ridiculous and I love it

He is the wall to leaving the first island. You need to go back to route 1.

Sandslash
Now ice
No relation to sand at all
Bravo nintendo

...

FUCKING YES

What a time to be alive

It's not really a new concept in Pokemon. The TCG did Delta Species during Gen 3 which changed up Pokemon typings.

...

Riding Pokemon confirmed

Ice Sandshrew looks like a little igloo.

Please tell me this means Hail is going to get a buff in terms of mechanics

It took 20 years but those anons that love ice types get their fun.

I wonder if they'll give Sandslash Bullet Punch and Ice Shard. I'd be a nightmare to Dragons and Faries.

...

Actually, she appears to be based off of the Orchid Mantis.

i don't think furries and scalies will care.

...

Ice will always suck ass

...

JUST X4 MY SHIT UP FAM

This is so fucking stupid.

I love it.

Ironically that's about the only climate you CAN'T find somewhere in hawaii.

Looks crazy but how is this a dragon type?

...

This is great.

Same reason as Nintendo does anything: Because fuck you

Nintendrones are a fascinating study in Stockholm Syndrome.

I find it hard to believe that the originals won't be available in the game, even if it is only though trading.

I mean the Pokemon development team not choosing to reuse already available assets? That is highly unlikely. I'll expect Mega Evos to be back in some way or another too.

Waiting for porn of Mantis girl

that fire type z-attack looks fucking horrifying

Just fucking announce Post E4 content already, you don't have the "we want the mobile audience" excuse anymore since Pokemon Go.

I fucking love it. And BIRD is radical as fuck. And I like the meteor things gimmick, it looks like a Kirby villain. And when the game comes out, you can catch a pokemon that looks just like the President.

If they announce a hard mode this will be 10/10 the greatest generation.

I actually really like that concept, shame one of these fuckers never made it in.
I'm torn on what the fuck they did to Sandshrew\Slash, but whatever. With the addition of thos two maybe one of my sleeper faves Abomasnow can be used as a setup.

Also, I hope they actually let you ride your pokemon in this as opposed to the two times you get to do it in X\Y where it was pretty fucking lame.

Why do Exeggcute, which are a half dozen separate eggs that are also sentient, evolve into Exeggutor, which is a coconut tree?

What do eggs and coconut trees have in common?

And also: why are they psychic types? What do eggs and coconut trees have to do with psychokinesis and extra sensory perception?

Lurk for three years and maybe you can post in your own threads without fagging up the place further. kthx

The psychic part is due all the interlinked brains.
But the rest..

Something tells me you just dislike Pokemon

I dont think you can get banned from tumblr

user they're forms, not replacements

Are the leaks real, Holla Forums?

Just show the dolphin already

Fuck me that was fast

As a former drawfag that really needs to get back into the game on some other autistic art website, yes you can. I was.

Not that guy you posted to, but I have not seen one person complain about wanting older Pokemon more evolutions. I have seen people speculating on which Pokemon may get Mega evolutions though. Also, the alternate typings are very shitty.

at least this generation has more things going on than the last one, I hope there's amount of post-game similar to BW2

They're not actually supposed to be eggs are they?
I'm sure I read somewhere that they're meant to be seeds

I can guarantee you I've been here a lot longer than you have.

Yeah, the shit above is real "cool."
Seeing as how I'm not a child anymore you would be correct.

I also can't wait to hear the classic nintendrone line about how being obsessed with children's entertainment is the height of adulthood. "I'm so straight I suck dicks all day!"

I think that's evidence enough. Fuck, I really wish the clown 'leaks' were real.

There won't be a post game.
We'll hate it like we did X & Y.

These ones are shitty.

I want Happy clown, cannon cat, and edgy assasins creed owl.

nice selfie fagboy

They're just really bad (or really good) puns. Exeggcute is literally an "Egg Plant".

It begins.

Don't post pictures of yourself, another underage user will dox you and send pizzas to your parents.

Also if you're quoting someone, remember to remove your stutter.

...

* tips fedora *

if thats real im going with the wrestling c-
hold up
why

quoted wrong post


kill me, pete

Archer Owl looks neat but I wish we got Pennywise Seal instead of a Siren.

they're coconuts
jap name of exeggutor is a butchery of jap-ized coconuts and palm tree, pic related is its closest relative

I hope not. That Fire one scream Fire/Fighting again

OP is a fag but it looks fun

This is looking better than Gen 6 already.


There's still some shit to be found, though.
Here's hoping that the pokemon mounts aren't preordained shit like in X and Y.

I couldnt find the english one on youtube.

get the hell out of here quentin

german version was released before the US one was presumably

English one for folks.

It's based on a heel wrestler I'm guessing it will be Fire/Dark

thanks babe

...

Pokemon Go really gave them carte blanche to do whatever the fuck they want, didn't it?

Quentin's trolling regarding nintendrones was based in truth. It was just taken to absurd degrees for comedic effect.

Mega Evolution tested the waters.

Now we are going full Digimon tier retard.

Which is still better than diamond/pearl level white noise boring.

No, I meant Exeggcute is supposed to be seeds.
Though technically speaking we are both correct as coconuts are the seeds of the coconut tree

This generation is getting fucking ridiculous.

...

It's just a different form, they are still fire type.

I kind of liked the new pokemons, however I think the Z moves shiet and taking out the gyms may be too much of a change. Let's see, maybe is gudis not.

Pokemon is pretty much becoming a clusterfuck.

Remember: the logo for sun and moon includes the burst heart crystal that fused trainers and pokemon together.

THIS BIZAARE ADVENTURES JUST GETTING STARTED!

I don't even hate the alternate elemental types of some pokemon. I just wish it was handled differently. Ninetails is kind of neat, I guess, though I wish they'd have hit the mark more directly on the cold foxfire feel rather than just "lol ice now". If you're going to change up the rules completely, just go full Ice/Ghost or Ice/Dark. Kitsune are supposed to be malevolent spirits.

I don't have much faith in Pokemon devs anymore, but explanations about how the land Ground types live in/consume changing its composition would be neat. Tyranitar, for example, occurs supposedly after Larvitar eats a mountain. It'd be neat if one of its typings were dependent on the locale it consumed. Unspecified for Ground/Rock, glaciers for Ground/Ice, volcanic for Ground/Fire, ore-rich for Ground/Steel.

Metroid Prime logbook this shit up. C'mon, Nintendo.

Also, maybe prioritize Eevee evolutions for that kind of thing, because its Eevee's entire gimmick. Environmental mutations.

Are there any new pokeballs I can use?

Looks already better than Gen 6 and Gen 4

Its as close to the Orange Islands as we are gonna get.

only the asian logos and it also has a flaming pokeball so clearly all pokeballs will be on fire because ??? tiki torches, yeah?
it's decorative, more than likely
they can't even decide of the simplistic looking gem-stone's color, it's just set up to contrast sun background and moon background because they have a huge gap between characters in both logos

wew

Well ,this might be a close contender.

just like the mega evolution logo was? the primal orbs were?

...

I hope he makes ALOLA great again

I think they are pretending that gollywog doesnt exist.

Now you're just plain trolling at this point.

i feel every island is gonna be like a chapter of PM:TTYD


By structure alone it's already better than town > bunch of trainers > gym >repeat with Team X sprinkled here and there in between

that excavator dragon and cannonbeemon looked pretty neat, in my opinion

...

MAKING POKEMON GREAT AGAIN

you haven't seen shit

Digimon is shit fam

their digimon are overdesigned

it was fine in the first digimon SOMEWHAT but most of the bigger digievolutions were shit

MORE DAKKA

This is /k/'s partner Digimon.

Pokemon won't be great again until they bring back actual post Elite Four content.

Extra dungeons, Battle facilities, map changes, ect. It doesn't matter. If they pull what they did in Gen 6 again; the games will be trash.

Awesome.

They aren't burst hearts, you gullible redditfag

I had to.I'm sorry.

Double weakness to fighting and fire.
What were are they thinking when they thought that up?

you sound like those assholes that rush to max level in an mmo and complain theres nothing to do because max level content is the only 'real' content for them.

Nigga its a game about travelling around catching monsters in balls. The journey is the point.

We already have ice and grass Eevees.
They're probably holding off from showing us the new Eevee forms.

I for one appreciate it.

Shit there is even more news on the 12th.
Are they going to show off the entire game before its released?

Nah, these are.

Neither Knock Off nor Earthquake are fighting-type.

So if I get this straight, they're scrapping the traditional format, for what is essentially a really well-done post-game format.

Good job. Bravo. Nice to know that two remakes were the last Pokemon games I'll ever have bought.

Yes the Journey is a big part of the game. But when the previous generations have more content than the newer ones it's a massive step backwards.

The newer games, your journey ends after the Elite Four. Meanwhile in the older games your journey keeps fucking continuing thanks to that post E4 content.

I think pokemon adapting to new environments thing is cool, surprised Gamefreak didn't do it earlier outside of like a few.

...

ebin :DDD

You're pretty dumb, you know that

This looks fucking *fun*able.

I want to fuck that Vulpix

AYYYYY

They did the same thing with the Corsola Colony being hinted at in Silver and added in Gen 3.

YFW IT'S LIKE POETRY, IT RHYMES

Also Marowak is also getting a new typing. It's not shown at but hinted with the Fire Guy's page.

God I hate Ballio wasn't real. I miss him.

Alrighty then.

The only good thing about recent pokemon games has been the concept art and NPC dialogues, along perhaps the nice atmosphere of ORAS and the OSTs. The actual gameplay itself was a roller coaster, a predictable and mindless one at that.

With this at least we get a sense of wonder, not knowing what's gonna happen next, with every island being different. I'm glad they got rid of the predictable structure.

the Trump pokemon is awesome

That's objectively wrong and you know it.
Gen 1 had nothing, Gen 3 had nothing until Emerald and FR/LG, and Emerald barely counts since it was just the shitty Battle Frontier. Diamond and Pearl were also abysmal.

...

Being a steel type user is suffering.

What are you talking about? There has been no mention of gym battles and it is possible they exist. There has also been nothing on E4 or any championship stuff. That big ass man made thing in the center of the map is most likely where you battle them and the champion.

But the new info said this is what Exeggutor became when people BROUGHT IT to Alola. It wasn't there in the first place.


I know, I know.


You two are trying really hard to convince people this turd is a precious gem. Or are you just trying to convince yourselves?

...

I think I need to go to bed

GPX Plus got it right years ago

just wait for the dragon z-attack

Emerald, FR/LG, HG/SS, Platinum, B2/W2 were all older games that had more content than gen 6 outside the obvious pokemon roster increase. This changes nothing what I said.

Why are you so against Pokemon games having more content and stuff to do outside the main game?

NEXT TIME ON DRAGON ATTACK Z

Part of me believes none of these changes would've happened if Masuda didn't step down as director to let the new guy work on this

LIKE POTTERY

I thought it was ice/psychic when I first saw ninetales and I would have fucking murdered someone if that was true. At least fairy is an acceptable type.

POKEMON ARE FOR
HUGS ONLY

Why not both?

I am dying here

They did the same with ORAS

make it yourself, fagboy

More like the best shit that could happen to ninetales. Fairy is a really good type

keep telling yourself that

Why furry ruin everything ?

Pokemon has always been the lowest common denominator of turn based RPGs.

I'm just trying to be something Holla Forums probably rarely tries to be: positive

I can safely say it does look better than 4 and 6 already, at the least.


Granted they're not objectively high quality: the game is made for children, so the dialogue is going to be simple and brief. If you take into consideration the mold and audience that they're going for, they did a good job.

only critique is in Gen 6 and their addition of meme shit.

Front-ending your game's content before the credits appear doesn't equate to less content overall. A lot of the older games had stuff to do outside of the main story to do that didn't pertain to the main quest, and gen 6 was severely lacking in content before and after the Pokemon league.

But cute things make the best lewds. Its a fact.

Prove it

It is, but ice is dogshit. They do seem to be pishing ice so maybe they buffed it but I have every reason to be concerned.
Yeah, of course they get the OP type.

also:


Hopefully you're trying to be baitful , but at the same time, it's very cringeworthy saving pony-shit in your folders.

Head pats when?


Absolutely correct.

...

its average at most.

its good to see that some anons still get triggered after all this time.

Please be fire/dark instead.

Don't think so

Reminder of what could've been

Poor Popplio, form hated to fapbait, it cant win.

Believe whatever helps you through the day, user.

10/10

...

Do the girl with the flower on the head appear in previous trailers?

Your statement was "But when the previous generations have more content than the newer ones it's a massive step backwards."

This is objectively false because you have more games that don't have more than Gen 6's post game than do. All of Gen I had no post game. Ruby and Sapphire had no post game aside from the Battle Tower. Emerald was pretty lacking as well since a it had was the Frontier, which was bad since half the facilities didnt really revolve around battling or took away control of your Pokemon away from you. DBut when the previous generations have more content than the newer ones it's a massive step backwards.iamond and Pearl had no post game besides the Battle Tower. Black and White had no post game besides the Subway and some little quests and side things. X and Y had more post game than all these games.

Only good one is owl. Cat is yet another Fire/fighter

although he looks good for Bara fur bait

He's upset that you're criticizing Pokemon.

I used to buy every single game, didn't give two fucks if my friends saw the game and DS lying around.
This ended after Black & White 2 versions.
I realized there were barely any Pokemon I actually wanted to tame.

Mega evolution were the nail in the coffin. Just soo soo retarded.
I remember back on 4chaim nigger would defend mega evolution do the death, but there was a huge amount of nintendrones back then as well.

Nope. Its ogre.

Name fucking one and I'll name one fro. Gen 6

Ok, clown was awesome, but I can live with having a Thundercat as a starter. Hopefully he's fire/dark instead of fighting though.

grass always wins baby, always bet on weed lmao

Maybe I just have an absolute trash memory, but wasn't there some leak a while back that only hinted at the typing, and one of them was fire and dark.

once again only the owl looks good.

The popplio differs from the main game's general artstyle. The cat is too generic

So the last set is supposed to be their megas?


Off the hop, I thought it was going to be a more feminine Pokemon. My guess was Water/Fairy, with the nose becoming like a ball it uses to attack. Oh well.

The only one I like is the owl design. Fuck.

...

Needs some steam rising from the point of contact.

You're pretty sad, user. I have my complaints about the franchise myself, but I'm not a person who spouts lies.

Ok then, what about gen 2, which had Kanto

why must you make me feel user

there is a new tiger mask anime with a black/red rival

Gen 2 is an exception, which is why I didn't mention it, user.

Lewd.

You didn't though, almost everything you said was incorrect or cherry picked.

Pokemon is never going to get better, its only a slow decline from here.
Just be happy it had such a good run.

I see the same denial of reality when people argue that Age of Sigmar WHFB reboot is not the worst fucking shit to happen to miniatures.

Okay, got any proof to back that up or not?

Gen 1 had Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2.

ALSO IMPORTANT SHIT

Here was the leak that predicted a lot of this stuff. They did get Ninetales' typing part wrong, but it's voerall really correct, and I remember the BW leak having an error but still largely correct.

Insect wearing clothes?
Who do these pokemon think they are, humans?

...

...

They better not fuck this up.

Those aren't even part of the game, and if you're going to say spinoffs are somehow part of the postgame then gen 6 has nearly every gen beat with how many spinoffs this gen has had.

See


Also Gen 1 had barely any post game.
This was fixed in Gen 2.
Then was worked on to Gen 3.

Then the gay ass poke-bloat game, like poke-shows, movies, everything but meaningful additions to gameplay and mechanics.

Then some asshole at GF smoked some PCP and came up with Mega's while jacking it to digimon porn.

So only gen 1 pokémon will get new forms?

The other user is pretty much a faggot, but that's some weak shit, user. Gen 2 onward was where GF started focusing on Postgame experience for the game (some better than others), with gen 6 being where apparently GF admitted they don't want it to be about competitive anymore so gave up trying rather than replace it with something.

MUSCLE WIZARD
CANON

Dude, the Pokemon Stadium games connect to the main games, have the main gameplay, new Pokemon you can get from there, and so on. I mean they're pretty much expansion packs that add a whole bunch to the games, not to mention nice QoL features, like easy trading, a ton of extra PC space, speed up, and so on.

It's not just a spinoff, it's essentially an expansion pack that adds to the main game. It's not like this is Pokemon Racing DS game or something.

Either that or the leaker only mentioned Gen I because he knew those were the ones that people would give a shit about the most. Remember that Gen VI had 13 pokemon from Gen I with megas, and 10 of them were from X and Y.

...

*JRPGs have always been the lowest common denominator of turn based RPGs

Holy shit

On one hand, that's fucking awesome
On the other hand, they kind of wasted the detective design on some shitty little earlygame rodent that nobody would care about or use if not for the incidental meme factor

GUYS, WHAT IF
PARAS VARIANT WITHOUT THE SHROOMS

user we were strictly speaking about the single games and their post games. Don't try to move goalposts by trying to classify the N64 games as expansion packs, which they aren't.

PARASYTE

You didn't really think this through, did you?

That's the joke.

GF is doing exactly that with this.

...

Gamefreak didn't really think this through, did they?

user, nothing you posted refuted my points, and Gen 3 didn't have 2 regions like Gen 2 so that point is invalid.

yo dog, i heard you like bugs so i put a bug in your bug

It just came to me that the pokemon you can ride can be called at anytime and anywhere
so it very likely means they just also ditched the need for HMs at all

...

God fucking damn it.

Are you new or something?

Unless you can think of another cool parasite as a substitute, it'll be shit.

They're games that, while playable on their own, are far more enjoyable when having another game installed with it that adds new content and options to that game.

I mean that sounds like an Expansion Pack to me. I've seen lesser things called an Expansion Pack.


Didn't stop Sandslash

Good.
HMs are shit

It's a general note among the community that Paras seems to be infecting a Pokemon we've never actually seen without the parasite. It would be kind of cool to see it finally.


I don't think it's a Mega Evolution, I think it's just another model for the same creature.

Gaaaaay
Also they likely only animated those 3 pokemon, so the thing where they treat the player like a baby and give you them for free in the story is going to become a tradition

Does the ability to use your pokemon in future titles, get new pokemon, have the same basic gameplay, and all that make them expansions? No. Just because you can use your pokemon in Gen 4 in Battle Revolution doesn't mean its postgame for gen 4. And the same applies to Colosseum for Gen 3 and indeed Stadium for Gen 1. Its a spinoff they're letting you have a small bit of agency over for being a repeat customer.

No, fuck that. Keep the mushroom, change the host.

No but it had other in game and other things to do other then progress solely onto the elite four.

Really stop being a poke apologist

No it seems to hint suggest that you can call on them. So they could be called anywhere, probably a replacement for HM's.

What a gaylord!

You really have never played Ruby and Sapphire, have you? And I'm the apologist? You're the one denying some games had less postgame than XY.

Watch, that user is gonna somehow call Pokemon Box and Bank part of the postgame

...

What?
How does this even work?

Is it not? I was actually wanting to try to make a romhack with Holon and Delta Species in it.

I imagine the fundamentalist genwunners are not even ready for what they do with Dioxys this time.

...

Yes, each previous gen (outside the first which goes without saying, and if you are really reaching that hard to save your shitty argument it shows how you already lost) that had more content.

Didn't have extra content but Cerulean Cave was better post-e4 content than anything gen 6 had. Arguably you can say it has more content if you count multiple playthroughs with alternate sequence breaking paths.

G/S had a 2nd region + post-post E4 dungeon.
Crystal had a 2nd region + post-post E4 dungeon + Battle Tower.

Emerald had more optional areas than X/Y and the Battle Frontier (regardless if you hate it or not, it had more content alone than X/Y's main game.
FR/LG had Trainer Tower, Battle Tower, Sevii Islands

Platinum had a Battle Frontier
HG/SS had a 2nd region, post-post E4 dungeon, Safari Zone and extra areas

B/W had more post E4 areas than X/Y and the Battle Subway
B2/W2 had the Pokemon World Tournament, more extra area and the Battle Subway.

and that's without counting the optional pre-E4 content.

Gen 6 was a massive step backwards, you can keep trying to move goal posts but it's not gonna change how shitty they were.

The website says for most of them that for some reason hey had to move the mountains and they adapted there.

cant wait for golden pokemon-break forms :^)


im hoping for alolan porygon and jynx

PUNISHED YOLK, AN EGG WITHOUT A PANTRY

...

...

look at what the trainer is holding in the bottom right
these are rental pokemon you'll likely call with that device, think of the eon flute in oras

Nigga don't even exaggerate, maison and seeker were better than "Run down the corridor and get legendary"

Fuck I hate GW.

But Ninetails being part psychic would make sense.

Why do people hate X/Y so much? I mean it was pretty good in comparison the the abortion that was ORAS. It had like maybe 1 good thing in it.

No, I mean how does it work in game?
Is there a special ice area where I can catch these? Can I breed a regular Sandslash into an Iceslash? It says it's a form, does that mean it's just temporary?
I'm so lost.

Psychic doesn't mean jack shit anymore, anything mystical or somehow magic fits better in fairy.

It does raise a question, though:
Is Fire/Psychic one of the worst possible types a pokemon can have?
Weakness to Knock Off and Earthquake.
Weakness to Stealth Rock.

...

im pretty sure ice/rock is worst

As a ROMHack it would work, sure, but for a main series game, I don't think it makes sense. It would have to be the whole and only thing different about the game.

Now that I think about it, if they did it in Orre a la Colosseum/XD Shadow Pokemon it would work, because, you know, side game. But for a main series one, with a bunch of other "features" and "additions" it feels wrong. This is aside from their retarded justification as well.

...

You mean the item you used to call the [email protected]/* */ you were forced to catch as part of the main story, which then came to you from your PC box in it's mega form that they only made so that they didn't have to do extra work for the two versions of the game

Fairy and ghost are god tier, psychic and dark are shit chunnibyou tier.

MIMIKYUU IS THE MASTER ALLIANCE MON.

Ice/Rock is probably the worst type, but Fire/Psychic is a pretty close runner-up.

I believe that they themselves are just regular Pokemon that appear at that location. The other Pokemon normal version still do exist, just maybe at another location or require trading from older games.
As for breeding I have no idea.

I think they might be subspecies and exclusive to the Alola region but to get the normal species you have to transfer from the older games.

How does it feel to have shit taste?

This is also acceptable, so long as the nature of the pokemon is parasitic in a large degree, I'd be good. I like your idea is better than keeping the bug and changing the parasite anyway.


If you want shit designs, you could have just referred to the stupid fish, dragon, or the millionth pikachu clone. Bear is redeemed by being either unaware or uncaring of its huge power and snapping trees in half like it was nothing.

If I breed a Sandslash with an ice pokemon, will it make an Iceslash?

user you don't make any god damn sense

So what type remix do you want?

not even, snowslash, done

...

aka

Cant remember what gen pokedex entry, but it was something like this:
Also, one of sandshrew's dex entries show that sandshrew collects water in its body, making it possible that the water it collected froze. Also, natural selection.

DEEPEST LORE

I just said it was though.


Other way around actually, only way to get the new variants is to transfer them.

Stop being greedy you fuck.

Are we witnessing the birth of a dank new meme?

Mimikyu need more love

FINE THEN MISDREAVOUS GEEZ

I think so.

Considering it only seems to be gen 1 pokemon, don't count on it.

I hope they keep Gyms.
Don't get me wrong, the new puzzles and "boss Pokemon" could be interesting. But so far we have "find these items" and "whats the difference between these two dances". It could be dead simple puzzles (worse than recent gym puzzles) and less battling overall.
Maybe it's this gen's Contest/Dancing?


Judging by info from the website, it seems to be the opposite of Yungoos. While Yungoose is impatient, Gumshoos is more patient, constantly pursuing one prey at a time. Though it does fall asleep the second night comes.
Seems to be based off a detective? (if you imagine the tufts of fur on it's chest act like the lapel on a coat?)


I'd have put money on you all hating it, but I'm glad to see it gets the love.
Rather than doing another Poke based off an existing one's concept- I wouldn't mind more regional alt forms. I just hope we can still use the old ones. When undergoing massive type change, I do think a new name is in order. Like says. Should become Iceshrew/Iceslash Icshrew/Icelash?


Something that lets you pull "Now my Pokemon is it's Hidden Power type!" could really slap the metagame in the face.
And turn it into even more of a guessing game.


Seemed to get ice moves in the trailer (ice ball), I wonder if they can breed with their normal counterparts?


Same. No matter how much I enjoy the hype, last gen and them fucking over their fans on Youtube put a bad taste in my mouth. Reviews won't tell us anything useful (maybe Nichegamer, depends who on staff is into Pokemon).
No post-game and I'll stick to showdown.


Somewhere did say you just rent them- and they don't join the party.
Even if you brought your on along and could use it, it'd still be the same overworld model IMO.


Please stop. I like using the heavyweight stater. Tiger cat looks awful. Too humanoid, the proportions are too exaggerated, and the details are too simplified. Robin Hood owl looks awesome though.

There is a chance though. The starters leaking but the Alola form alts not seems unlikely.


The dex on the website says Ninetails moved onto a holy mountain. It also seems nicer to humans, playing and protecting them (unless they destroy its home). Seems to be based more on the friendly spirits of a location than the evil trickster monsters.


Gimme Pokemon Burst made by Platinum. Maybe even a gag Magikarp form

The people also boast Alola Exeggutor is it's true form.
I bet we'll get NPCs arguing which Exeggutor is the original/true one.

But Mimikyu is already god tier.

You probably like Mr Mime and Stunfisk too, don't you?


Shouldn't you be asking yourself that?


They're all stupid, and so is the cube bug. Bewear's design is crap, and it's name is fucking stupid. Ursaring is way better.

...

You can breed a skitty with a wailord in this game. Of course you can breed variants with normal versions.

Ursaring is literally the best bear with Pangoro running close second. Eat shit pissbaby.

...

...

My bad, three bears.

...

...

*care

isnt that "cube" a cocoon, though?

There's four bears: Ursaring, Beartic, Pangoro, and Stupid Meme Bear

Even Gamefreak has been on gen 1 nostalgiafaggotry in recent years.

I'm sorry, user, but you seem to be using those words wrong. I heartily recommend typing like a regular goddamn person and not some shitposting teenager on twitter.

Unless your favorite pokemon is from gen 1, it will more likely be because they moved on to the next gimmick many years before they're slated to get to whatever gen the one you like is from

I'm not saying pokemon should be overdesigned pieces of shit, but Ursaring is the absolute other end of the spectrum alongside Sunflora where it's the pokemon equivalent of white noise. The other bears like Beartic and Pangoro are good, Ursaring is probably the most unmemorable Gen II pokemon.

Gee, user, when did you get an advance copy of Sun and Moon?


Out with it, what is it?

Who fucking knows at this point, it's a geometric shape

I fucking love Exeggutor.

AWW YISSS.

...

...

well its the intermediate stage of a grub and a beetle, so cocoon seems only logical?

I just want Maractus to get a bit of attention, is that to much to ask.

I'd let it suck my dick.

I didn't even know it had an earlier evo

That's not Stanler.

and its turns into the vic viper from gradius, too

...

...

...

Faith restored in Gamefreak.

Thank god that my 3DS is hacked and ready for this.

i love the pikachu clones

Casuals act like Gengar is hot shit but he's not even made out of gold.

What


10/10

Half of the stuff I'd want are Megas (Mega Snorlax that's buff with a 5 o' clock shadow, Mega Marowak, etc)

they gave rayquaza a mega evolution, and it doesn't even need a stone

same here

actually a blood red fire beedrill would be dope as hell

Actually on that topic how high are the chances of Lucario having an alt?

...

Mega snorlax looks exactly the same

but it stands up

and opens its eyes

...

Probably little considering they seem to hant to stick to Gen 1

You're retarded, user. Shut the fuck up and lurk more.

user, I think you need to go back and read the thread
This board has ID's by the way

>implying they wouldn't

POST YFW YOU AREN'T A GOFAG

...

I am, nigger, maybe you should learn more about this gen before you make yourself look like an idiot again.

`3`

I actually like it, this video might have just made me buy this game.
I've always thought that it's a shame when old pokemon wither away in the meaninglessness, now they are getting a pretty cool new option

I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that, can you repeat yourself? It almost sounded like you said gen 2 was the best gen ever.

Gen 7 has the worst designs of any generation yet. When Gen 6 improved on the travesty of Gen V designs I thought maybe Pokemon still had enough good designs left. But at 80% of the new Pokemon revealed so far look awful.

What's worse is they'll never stop. By the time we are old men in our 80s there will be another twelve or so generations of these little bastards.


This isn't even close to the truth.


Tell me what makes Bewear so great without muh tree-crush and muh worst pun yet name?

...

lol okay

Pokemon Go doesn't reset shit, all you have to do is sign in again

point is, they don't care about balance
for all we know it's possible they'll give op pokemon even more power

Fire/Fighting starter #4 coming right up.

What mistake? You thought the box cocoon was a caterpillar when it isn't. And I still have no idea why you brought up IDs.


Wow, user, what's it like shoveling shit into your mouth all day?

...

Gee user, I didn't know any Pokemon not in the regional dex this time round got erased from existance.


This. Stantler is the most forgettable Gen 2 mon.

That doesn't explain how you got the idea that I was talking shit, user
That also doesn't explain how fucking assmad you are about this

...

Nice. Same artist that did the Salandit one?

I'm fucking dying here.

I dunno, I'd have to ask a fan of Gen V pokemon. Which shitmon tastes shittier? Stunfisk, Garbador, Palpitoad or Scrafty?

I love everything that has come out of this gen so far, dancing birds are the best. Mermaid seal being borderline confirmed is awesome too.

The games aren't out yet, dumbass. There are only three bear pokemon until then, unless you somehow have your hands on a Bewear, which, given your tone, I doubt.

user, you and the rest of this website are varying degrees of normal.

Are you trying to start a fight, nigger?

Maybe now they'll Pokemon Go kill themselves.

...

The ratio of cool shit to bad shit in gen v is pretty slanted in favor of cool shit, user

Oh, so you're just stat fag? Bewear objectively has the wosst awful of all the Bearmon. It's not even a contest.

Hi reddit

...

Do you wanna try that again?

...

> Meditating Abra becomes /fit/ Abra, constantly training and doing push ups. Teleport is replaced with Circle Throw, so it forces you to run away from it.

I never thought the franchise going off the rails with fan-autism style stuff would work.
But it just might.

Oh great, yet another 4x weakness to ice.

Winter is coming.

Hi Autism.


So you're just stat fag? Bewear objectively has the worst design of all the Bearmon.

Grass/Dragon is a fantastic typing that belongs on Serperior and not a fucking coconut tree

...

i want to fuck the fish

...

If I was a statfag, then I'd only use legendaries, dumbass. What the fuck does that even have to do with bear pokemon?
Stop posting.

...

Fucker, you ruined my combo

Do more of the picture 2 to compensate for interruptions retard.

It looks like the neck is even longer so the combo isn't completely ruined.

Legenaries are banned to Ubers though.

You said I couldn't say it was the worst Bearmon because the game wasn't out yet. So either your implying it has to do with it's gameplay or that there's another bearmon yet to be revealed.

OH GOD SMOGONFAGS MUST BE GOING INTO METLDOWN

I just realised the type changes can fuck up all their tier bullshit.

I need to see their panicking.

Can we have a drawfag thread soon?
There's some OC I wanna request on the back of all this.

Smogonfag please leave.

Don't sexualise the mantigirl.

>Teleport is replaced with Circle Throw, so it forces you to run away from it.

You deserve it for reposting tumblr images.

They're basically new Pokemon. Some places are reporting the only way to get the old forms of the new pokes is via transfer.

Now if these new Pokes can get their old forms moves, it could be interesting for some of them.
Not sure Icetails knowing fire and some ghost moves will help it, but it all depends on stats.

I wonder how this will work with breeding
They better not pull any more of that held item bullshit

No, dipshit, I'm explicitly telling you it's because nobody has access to it yet. Jesus christ, I am I arguing with a Brazilian or something? Are you always this dumb?

Oh lord no. I never request furry lewd.

I meant shit like having Onix or even Mega Rayquaza trying to stand on the tip of it's tail so it can be taller than new Exeggutor, but failing (Exeggutor is now the second tallest Pokemon)

It's not really anything to write home about.
It's like fighting game players seeing a new DLC character added to their game. They wonder whether it'll be good or not but ultimately it'll all boil down to stats and movesets.
It's not like Icetales and Iceshrew are the first ever ice types introduced.

Having access to the game doesn't change it's design, dipshit.

...

In future gens, they might have "Alola Incense" to get these new forms, but for now (if some places are true) breeding a normal Exeggutor in Alola will produce and Alola Eggsecute.

It's dex entry was implying it was impeccably strong (accidentally breaking trees in half for example)- but I don't take much from dex entries.
Escavalier has one of the lowest speeds, yet it's described as "flying around at high speed".

So? You still don't know how it actually works in a battle, so you can't know if it's the worst bear pokemon.
So fuck off until people can actually use the damn thing.

You know what, looking over the whole list of revealed mons, at least half of them look alright
I don't know why they insist on showing off the most retarded ones in the most visible promo material

...

Trump did it, he made Pokemon great again!

I keep telling you to stop posting and you keep posting stupid shit.

*good in battle

oh fuck off it's still the objective best type in the game

You're being too autistic. I'm talking about how people like you tollerate comeplete crap as long as it's a super-strong battler. You're like the guys who only play as Fox and Sheik in Smash.

*complete

I'm done with your bullshit, user.

...

read it in his voice

Somehow I read his second ability as Strong Jew.

I liked Sword of Seals, fucking bite me.

If there were a Hillary-mon that would be it's hidden ability.

First Mimikyu and now that flying rock. I hope mold breaker works on these fuckers that I can't one-hit KO.

...

So we're all in agreement. The move from 2D to 3D was a mistake.

no

Did you even play FE6? Roy's shit compared to most lords, but in FE6, half the cast is fucking awful anyway.

...

Exactly my point.

It hardly makes a difference gameplay-wise. Early 3D looked like trash, but it's starting to look good now. I think I'm starting to like the new 3D graphics, the areas in the video look great, like that foresty area.

Chandelure, the ghost mansion and the underground digging minigame were the only good factors.
Slow load times, way too many caves and a dogshit story made for the worst mainline game in the series.

So you haven't played the newer games then?

just realized,
NINEtales becomes an ice-fairy
hope you like idiot nicknames

I want Sophocles's shirt!


As long as the originals are still in, I don't have a problem.

Jesus christ, no it wasn't. You said he was one of the worst characters in his game.
Fuck, talking to you pisses me off.


Jesus, no wonder, you like the slowest gen with the shittiest additions besides the physical/special split.

...

That's pretty sweet.

They are. Even the old ones will be added, like Pure Electric Magnemites, or Normal Clefaries, and etc.

It's gonna be a clusterfuck now tbh.

...

That's Gen V

Don't remember them

You mean pretty much one cave with multiple accesses and paths and every other cave being minor and optional?

The big island's got an ice cap.

Seriously?

Will the species clause be altered to allow for the Delta Species on the same team as the original?

Will Eevee get a delta species?

Now you know how people feel about Royfags.

Why are you even playing RPGs if you're too ADHD to read text?

You should revisit it user, everything is slower. text speed, animations, going from the field to battle, going into and out of a building, evolving, using items, using HM's. The entire game is slow as molasses.

Also, wasn't Platinum actually faster than Diamond and Pearl, or is that just something I'm remembering wrong?

The shiny for the variant sandslash better be purple.

Only in a few places like surfing. Battles are still slow and that comparison doesn't even show the worst of it: The HP bar goes down at a rate determined by the absolute amount of HP lost, not the percentage. It's not noticble when fighting a low level pidgey, but by end game it takes like 10 seconds for something to faint.

Revisit it? I've pretty much done everything there is except completing the Pokedex. Spent 300 hours on it. Even if it is slow it didn't stop me from enjoying those 300 hours spent on it in my high school years.

I played the shit out of gen II as a kid and I seriously did not remember that pokemon until you brought it up just now.

It's design isn't just shit, it's also so bland that whenever people talk about shit pokemon designs they completely forget about it because of how fucking forgettable it is.

HG/SS and Platinum are faster than D/P but still a little on the slow side. The games really never recovered from Gen 4.


It's not like it's a hardware issue either, it was designed to be slow as fuck.

Can you tell me what Stanler's abilities are without looking them up? I bet you can't.

...

I would've never known if I didn't look it up.

Holy shit

...

This meme magic is going out of control

I wonder how long the writers thought this would be funny for.

This games meme magic is too dank.

...

...

Why is it anti-smogonfags never understand how smogon works at all, it's the same when you think some new pokemon being strong is going to piss them off somehow rather than they'll just use it.

Reminder that no one wanted your shit fanmons, you can stop posting them now.

...

You need to catch a bunch of Trumps, rename them Trump, and send them out to trigger all the liberal kiddies playing Pokemon so bad they either never wonder trade again or drop Pokemon all together.

Ahahah user you're right! It's not like literally everyone will do the same xd!

Someone I know wonder traded like 150 shiny Rayquaza with all 0s in IVs named Black Guy

That's the point

...

this is the first time I've been pleased by how all the final evos look since gen 2

You got assassin owl, thundercats and oddly sexual mermaid that is definitely not 87.5% chance to be male

So do you think the Alolan versions of mons won't be getting megas?
If this means they won't get megas, a lot of them are going to be doomed.

Think they'll get different stat spreads? Iceslash's typing with Sandslash's spread is like something from a nightmare, and Ninetales's stats are just plain mediocre.

people have strange priorities.

Megas seem to be gone and the info for sandshrew/sandslash says they're slower so different stats seem to be a thing.

Really?
Did a Sandslash fiddle Gamefreak's diddler as a child or something?

Well they probably got higher attack or defense to make up for it.

You could always try rock polish/agility or Baton Pass.

Might be OK for a late game sweep.

HOW LONG CAN WE GET?

Hate to break it to you but that typing pretty much dooms it to be shit. The only way ice/steel could ever work is on an extremely fast pure offensive pokemon, which sandslash is clearly not.

...

...

...

This Pokémon excels at whipping its long neck like a lash to attack with its hard heads. But that neck can sometimes become a weakness…

...

...

...

...

...

Shameful.

Get your shit together, user.

It's like a game of Stacker.
A bad game of Stacker.

Thanks for the laugh

...

...

Well I could fit it somewhere else…

At least you got doubles

Hey Holla Forums, let's each draw a part of the neck and see how long we can build our own Exeggutor

I'll start with the head

...

...

benis

...

...

...

...

Do you find Brianna I forgot his actual name Wu hot by any chance?

Well at least this is a better joke than the last one

...

I'm saying it would work if Delta Species-ing was the main new change in Pokemon. Like Shadow Pokemon, it could be centred around an evil organization doing experiments on Pokemon changing their types and your purpose is to stop them.

It doesn't work when it's just a throw-in, seemingly an afterthought like they're doing here.


Fucking what? Why? What's the goddamn purpose? Why only here? Why only on THIS godforesaken rock, and not the others? What's so special about Alola? And why only those specific species? If you work it in like it's Shadow Pokemon 2.0 it actually makes sense.

Nature is beautiful

...

i think the explanation was when brought over to Alola, vulpix and sandshrew migrated to the one mountain with ice and adapted to the environment?
Exeggutor is because hes now based on the Dragon Fruit Tree

When is Yanma/Yanmega going to be Bug/Dragon?

I know that that's the explanation. It just seems so flimsy. Nothing about this region indicates it's any more special than another. There's no reason for this not to have happened anywhere else besides

Yanmega-Mega.

A Bug/Dragon would be so fucking cool.

...

OHhh. ok yeah. you see that's where the real explanation boils down to MUH SHEKELS.

Yes. And I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. I don't know why I was hoping, I really should know better, but still, I hoped.

I'm sure they'll throw out some bullshit explanation like magic rocks or something.

I agree, but unfortunately this is one i find interesting, id like to see what the do with others and im SURE others have forms that arent shown.
basically gamefreak is playing me right now. i didnt fall for megas, but im falling for this

...

Why does it matter? It's a game series about kids catching colorful animals with super hero powers in little balls. Pokemon isn't about having some deep, amazing storyline and lore. There's no science behind it. They can very easily say that adapted species in other regions just hadn't been discovered, yet. I mean, did you get upset over new games adding a significant amount of pokemon that even professors in the previous games didn't know existed? Should GameFreak really be limited in the new features they put in games by what previous games didn't have?

Just be happy Ninetails might actually see some play now that it's a Dragon Killer Extraordinaire.

It's still a better explanation and even design choice than Megas as a whole, and this is coming from someone who defended them. Also

They're seeds. Some kind of coconut to be exact. They're psychic because they're a hivemind.

I mad at this though, so much

Just like how prior to Johto, Pikachus just hatched from eggs and Pichu never existed?

But sandslash was never good.
Exeggutor was only good under the sun.

...

Only 2 Gen I Pokemon have been OU their entire life.

Gengar and Starmie.

Starmie isn't in gen 6

Nah

Hell, prior to Johto, Pokemon didn't even lay eggs.

He's right, though. Starmie is considered OU in every gen.

(checked)


It fully is. Megas were retarded. Especially because Mewtwo, a pokemon that was JUST GENETICALLY ENGINEERED had two Megas, from stones that date back god knows how many years.

I clearly remember it being not OU at some point

Dragonite has been OU since R/B, dumbass


Are you retarded?

Well, that's certainly not the case right now, so unless you have some screenshots to back your claim up…

They're not replacements, it's just that these are different breeds of pokemon.

Best part, we're getting more Ice types, and with pokemon that have good stats, too.

Sandslash might actually be more useful now.

...

Why not just buff Sandslash?

Are you? Starmie dropped to UU during gen 6

Who says they aren't?

I made something for you lot.

...

Can you link to whatever says that?

I mean buff it without a type change.

...

And who says they aren't?

UU in Gen I
BL in Gen II and III
OU in Gen IV, V, and VI

Dragonite was a Pokemon who got better with age, but had a rocky start.

Wrong, it was and still is OU
Again, wrong, OU in both of those since the beginning

Why would they bother adding new versions of old pokes if they were gonna buff the originals anyway?

Well damn.

smogon.com/dex/rb/pokemon/dragonite/
Tier: UU

The Pokemon Go EULA gives Nintendo permission to read your emails.

What? Okay you seem to be confused as to what these Aloha Pokemon are:
They're just different forms of the same base Pokemon with different typings.

They could, on top of introducing different forms, adjust base stat values like they did with a few Gen I Pokemon in Gen 6, like Pidgeot getting 10 more in Speed.

No it doesn't, idiot, I've read the EULA.

I can't wait to see how autistic smogon gets.

Okay bullshit, that changed at somepoint

You said Sandslash might be useful now. That would mean there would be no point in using normal Sandslash if Coldsteel surpasses it.

so, does dance bird get to use its chosen move after dancer (or vice versa)?

Why? The only thing more autistic than smogon are retards who think that they have to battle by smogon rules.

There's already no point in using normal Sandslash.

It's just funny seeing them pitching a fit cause they can't beat a pokemon

Bug/Water

I'd like to see the tables turned.

...

I think that's a safe bet, but obviously no one can confirm that right now. It would be a shit ability if it didn't though.

If they have better stats or moves it'll probably make up for it.
I hope these adapted mons get different abilities though, Frisk and Snow Cloak are pretty shit.

HOW IS THERE NO PORN OF SNOW VULPIX?

You mean Nincada?

A mushroom is one thing, but that would be fucking horrifying user

Im still waiting for trap lurantis

Just take porn of normal Vulpix and invert the colors
ez

There's one of those in that Pokemon Sage fangame that will never ever be finished.

Reminds me of Terry Pratchet's idea of "going so far in one direction you loop around back to the opposite end of the spectrum.

Either a Fire so Hot that it freezes all around it, or a source of freezing cold so cold it burns.

Shellder on Slowpoke's tail/head comes to mind. So does the original Paras/Parasect. It's not that horrifying if you make it cutesy. Just put it inside of a Feebas or something.


Just like the half-chan /vp/'s project.

...

Drew this real quick to give an idea. It's still a little strange though.

Had to do that from my phone. Forgot to show someone:

p. spooky

This nigga looks like he's having the time of his life.

Shit taste

I noticed that while I was looking at Parasect for reference. He's got this big dopey grin going on and it's awesome. I always liked Parasect.

Nigga is glad he's alive and gets to swim all day

Is this thread autosaging?

How new are you?

I came here yesterday from reddit!

In reality, I opened this thread when it was on top, went to shit, came back, read some posts, noticed page 8 and thought, "what the fuck"?

nigga this is a good thread

oh wait, you were talking about yourself
nevermind, i'm retarded

Come on, man.

...

Shitting is a human need, user

I've come to regret all those times I wished that pokemon would actually try to evolve the series, because I hate every single thing they've added.

Monkeys paw motherfucker.

How would you design a Normal/Ghost type?

I'm thinking a Skeleton pokemon, personally.

Marrowak
FE.MALE.ONLY.

I really have no idea what makes a normal-type normal, aside from being "none of the above". Dual normal types perplex me to no end.

A dog that came back to it's trainer after it died, like a reverse Hachiko..

Why? This all looks fun and fits the theme of the region. Maybe you should get that stick out of your ass and enjoy yourself.

Why would you regret this? The new Gen I forms are amazing. Plus, the removal of Gyms is a very welcomed change.

...

Because kill yourself, smogonite.

Then tell me, oh enlightened one, how does smogon work outside of a bunch of opinionated idiots with shitty mon movesets I could beat with a hastily put together team, how do they work?

For fuck's sake, the new gens were made to shake shit up and people like that who demean any sort of play other then what they want, with tons of rules they made to enforce that sort of play that would make their Rapid Spin obsessed movesets useless if they weren't enforced (not to mention their queer tier lists that are built around these biased rules) and they're all just a bunch of scrubs who hold elitist ideals when it's really just their own bubble.

Every new gen fucking flusters them because Game Freak caught on and hates scrubs, which is why they add new abilities and type rules that break the mold.

Tyranitar, for example, used to be the biggest shit back in gen 4, but with movelist updates that Game Freak made to most pokemon, Tyranitar is no longer top of the game, especially with the Gen 5 pokemon list.

So go back to gen 1 and stop bothering people who want to actually have fun. No one needs your candy ass popping in and sperging about what you think is a top strategy or moveset or whatever.

Just go jack off to pokemon porn or some shit, jesus.

You have to admire the autism of them, though. Trying to balance something that obviously isn't and is never mean to be is almost half-press tier autism.

wow… did i outgrew my favorite game this fucking badly?

feelsbadman.jpg

A poltergeist who's possessed a doll.

I don't admire autism.

It's probably a mix of you outgrowing the simplistic gameplay, and it "outgrowing" you with the continued stupid shit

im pissed.
what the fuck were they thinking
hopefully we get more cool looking pokemans, ice metal sandrew looks cool to say the least

...

You better not fucking post this on reddit.

...

Scary

Fuck this we're taking the restrictor plate out.


Your kind needs extermination.


Feels good knowing this cancer won't be in the game, sadly Gayfreak will put some other form of cancer in it's place like


Oh look it's gogoat, abomasnow, and rhydon 2.0 with faggy saddles and even gayer tron outfits.

Gayfreak and their new "features"


That's what "Smogon rules" tries to prevent you get people playing like that and the game will die in a week.

wasnt eggsegg already a palm tree

fuck off
Exeggutor is pretty stupid though. and great.


casual detected.
Pokemon has always had tons of end game content up until recently, including catching monsters after beating the game.
Also grinding to max level in MMO's isn't fun retard, you'd know if you played games.
The fun is at max level


this.


have you? there was catching Mewtwo in X/Y and that was about it


fuck off


Mewtwo.

fuck off

ahaha that's a funny ass joke. Seriously, nigger? A game would die without scrubs? Scrubs aren't fandom.

Let me refer you back to the Mewtwo example, before Smogon existed people would do that type of shit constantly and groups had to make rules not to either use teams consisting only of Mewtwo or just ban him outright.

In Goldeneye they had a similar thing.

uh huh, keep telling yourself that buddy.

I bet you cry hacks when someone does the same to you.

it's like chans get so much moral panic bad press that you forget that there are just genuinely spiteful, broken people here

No, you're a scrub who's only in it to win a game.

You know, instead of having fun. If you don't have fun and you're only in it to win against others, then what is that game to you?

How about you fuck off to one you enjoy instead, instead of hanging around people who don't want your pathetic negative ass?

Good god, one moment you claim Smogon users are scrubs for trying to add some kind of balance to the game so their can be a variety of useful Pokemon to play with, now you're trying to flip it the otherway and claim they're only interested in using the best Pokemon.


Karenfags ALWAYS make the case for being a Smogonfag by the stupid shit they say.
Also the Smogonfags at least come prepared with proof, something the Karenfags never provide.

...

So everyone using essentially the same teams and using the same tactics is a good thing? In any other game that would be called boring, stupid, and not fun. I won't deny that smogonfags have contributed in finding some good strategies for the postgame but they are fucking dumb if they think their strategies and shitty tier system are the end-all-be-all of the pokemon postgame.

Like I said before you Karenfags practically make the argument for Smogonfags.


That's VGC rules aka anything goes, what YOU are championing and I was comparing to ye olde tyme 6 Mewtwos per team.
Smogon having the tier break up they do is done to DE-centralize the game and create more variety, because otherwise those VGC teams in the middle pic are all you would see and that would kill the game in a week.

Smogon is the best thing we got currently for balance in this game, and very few Smogonfags sound happy about that.

Look, faggot, smogon has clearly affected nothing in the VGC (and continues to not), and people who actually play the games use the teams they want anyway, so what is the point of Smogon outside of ego masturbation?

You say "balance", I say boring. Each of those VGC teams were created, not as a counter to anything and everything, but as a counter to VGC teams.

Essentially, scrubs fighting scrubs. You can give that team to any player then counter it with a team specifically made to abuse tactics against it.

For fuck's sake, Smergle is fucking slow, Talonflame is fragile despite speed, Cresselia is weak, and Kangaskhan only has it's ability going for it, if it's pitted against a half decent Fighting pokemon, it's a loss. Notice how none of those teams carry fighting types.

In fact, every single team on that list can be taken down with a fucking Mega Lucario with Ice Punch, Aura Sphere and Flash Cannon, save for Groudon which can be sweeped by a grass type with Sleeping Powder and a half decent Grass move.

Like I said, these teams were made and enforced by scrubs, and countered by scrub teams. If anything Smogon encouraged this sort of behavior because they document what is and is not "overpowered" and people use these teams based on what they say, and you get team lists like VGC2016. No one follows Smogon's arbitrary rules, and all they use the site for is what is the most powerful pokemon that day.

You're a retard. Back in earlier competitions when Smogon wasn't in play, a fucker won a whole goddamned tourney with a Magikarp on his team.

Damn he is a happy l'il nigga isn't he?

It's a ruleset players can use if they want something more balanced.

They countered what was powerful in the VGC setup which is anything goes.

Except that isn't going to happen because those teams obviously won because they covered their weaknesses.

Obviously didn't need them because those are the winning and runner up teams in the VGC.

You think they didn't factor that?
Once again those are the winning teams they obviously had to go through that to get where they are.

Who could all easily beat your ass so hard if it was televised you'd commit suicide right after.

From my 3rd pic in>>10247703
No,usage stats do. Some Pokemon are just stronger than others. We would have figured out which is which eventually.

That's a lot of implying there sunshine.

"We would have figured out which is which eventually."

And after Smogon Se Jun Park won a match with a Pachirisu on his, doesn't prove anything.

i look at the Smogon banlist and make my teams out of all the stuff smogonfags don't like.

I know you fags hate evasion. Gonna make a Hail evasion team.

Poochinski: normal/ghost
