Brine is okay but is just really unfortunate you get it right before Surf which basically superannuates it. If it came earlier in the adventure then sure, but it doesn’t and thus is pretty meh

Zebes this is a phenomenal post but where exactly are you getting the idea Bugsy is hard in GSC? Scyther’s Fury Cutter starts with a base power of 10 in Gen II, meaning it needs three turns to pass to do damage that’s actually notable. From what I recall, most mons don’t have trouble 3HKOing it...

shiftry bad it borders on unusable seedot is a literal 1% in Emerald, starts with Bide and only STAB is Bullet Seed until level 31 like cacnea is admittedly 6% in emerald and might not light the world on fire but I'd sooner use it than the empty slot seedot is

Never really liked Route 209's music all that much, it's ok at best

Gonna be starting a Pokemon Platinum LP with Turdterra! Also, this is apparently my 1,000th post on Smogon. I really need a life, huh...

It’s not really related to its Mega, but people tend to forget Audino is actually a respectable choice in the original BW. It ended up in C tier in our list. Audino has way more coverage than most of the cast, which it can actually use thanks to Work Up, gets Secret Power at the good level of...

Fixed: if I made any other errors I apologize. Maybe I was going a little overboard trying to be overly detailed anyway. But thank you for reading!

Why are important Trainer rematches in this franchise consistently terrible? Emerald: Prerequisites the game never tells you about, and even then, they don't use their strongest teams right away. You are the Champion: why do they go easy on you? Platinum: Four Trainers generated randomly...

my favorite thing about both Unova games is that the credits roll when Darumaka hits level 35 because literally almost nothing in the games can stand up to Sheer Force Darmanitan

NSMB2 isn't particularly amazing (apparently it was made by new Nintendo employees which explains some things, still a perfectly playable game tho), but I will defend New Super Mario Bros. U, I think that's a great game! I played it recently and really enjoyed my time with it. I'd say it stands...

Definitely not a franchise per se, but Milo Murphy’s Law is definitely a DEFCON-5 in the context of being sandwiched between Phineas and Ferb and Hamster & Gretel, all being Dan Povenmire shows set in the same universe. A good chunk of people haven’t heard of Milo at all when I bring it up in...
