You ever think about how Drowzee and Hypno can't learn Dream Eater by level up in any games besides Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee. Sure, they can still usually learn it by other methods, but you'd expect them to be able to get it by level up, considering how, y'know, eating dreams is a huge part of...

I really like this recent trend of Game Freak looking at Pokémon that already felt perfectly fine as fully evolved Pokémon and saying "let's evolve it anyways". Ursaluna and Kingambit are the biggest examples of that. Ursaring and Bisharp aren't the greatest things out there stat-wise but no...

I logged back into this forum after a few months since I last made any posts here, and while I was at it I updated my profile a little bit, including checking a different set of pronouns and I realized. I created an account here in 2019. That was wayyy before I figured out I was transgender and...

One very small nitpick I have is that I feel like, completely independent of the quality of the games themselves, the names of the mainline games have been getting a bit weaker in recent years. "Scarlet & Violet" are okay names but they feel a bit too "fangame-y" if that makes sense. It's made...

I believe the move is meant to be like a baton being passed during a relay race, so I imagine it's distributed to generally quick/fast-looking Pokémon, with some more magical Pokémon added to the mix since the move has kind of a weird, special feel to it as well. It's probably also distributed...

A few months ago I did a playthrough of FireRed and I was surprised at how atrocious Rapidash is. In FRLG it appears quite late into the game, only during the first Sevii Islands, after the 7th Gym, making it, for Kanto standards, one of the very last Pokémon you're able to obtain. And even...

I've very recently finished Sonic Heroes for the first time, this one used to be one of my least favorites in the series due to failed attempts at a full playthrough, but now that I played the entire thing (up to Last Story) I... think I like it a lot more? I used to find the stages way too...

NICKNAMES. I catch a Pokémon, decide that I want to use it in my party. Just using its default name is boring, so I decide to give it a nice and cute nickname. The next 30 minutes are spent with me staring at the screen, trying to come up with something, and just, not being able to. The next...

As usual for me, I only ever remember to come back to this forum when I see Pokémon news exciting enough to make me want to go somewhere and just talk for a bit about how I feel about them, lol. Anyways, really excited Legend Arceus not necessarily for how good it looks (I think it looks...

I feel like that's too drastic of a change to make it inherent of a type. Other inherent Type immunities exist because they're generally very easy to understand. For example, most Powder moves are very easy to iddentify, you know what is and isn't a Powder move, so when you see a Grass-Type you...

Which doesn't make a lot of sense to me for the Ice-Type. In every other game, you are encouraged to use ice-elemental stuff in water, either because it can create benefitial effects (like, say, freezing it in Zelda or Kirby) or because it simply does more damage to water enemies (like in...

I feel like the Rock type is similar to ice in that regard, where most of the Pokémon are made to be slow and bulky (because it just... makes sense for a rock to be like that), but the type's matchups, due to being great offensively while having a lot of weaknesses, are better suited for glass...

You mention Fly, but it's the earlier Surf that I appreciate the most in that regard. The Gen 5 games had the extremely bizarre decision of making the Fishing Rod a post-game only item, and I feel like it kinda hampered the distribution of Water-Types throughout the region, where a huge part of...

I feel like calling LGPE "Kanto pandering" is a bit weird, because... it's a remake. It's the entire point of the game. I haven't played those games yet, but conceptually, I don't mind the idea of Kanto getting another remake, the last time the region got a full game centered around it was in...

Wally's final rematch is one of the funniest boss fights I think. This dude threw away his Delcatty and Altaria, and instead got himself a Gale Wings Brave Bird Talonflame, a Huge Power Aqua Jet Azumarill and a Garchomp. Aside from that pretty bad Roserade, this feels like it could very well...
