After 4 attempts I would like to report an ongoing streak for the Battle Hall. This was with the following Dragonite set: Dragonite @ Focus Sash 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Adamant Nature - Extremespeed - Fire Punch - Outrage - Earthquake I just reached 170 wins but I plan on continuing at some point...

Yeah just like the bike theme. I'm saying I don't like nearly any of them and that the bike theme itself is usually inferior to whatever other theme could be playing in the current route/town

I remember the first time I found Nihilego in Pokemon Sun's storyline, it was a great experience. It was the first time in years a Pokemon game made me feel like there was a mystery to be solved. What is this thing, what type is it, how do I beat it, etc. It made a great impact in my experience...

Speaking on that, having to grind BPs for hours to get move tutors in the past gens in horrible and I really hope that doesn't ever come back

The Hall of Fame extractor worked perfectly, thank you very much! EDIT: So on closer inspection it seems like the program isn't really getting the Pokemon's natures correctly, and is instead setting them all to Adamant (I noticed because I'm 100% sure one of the Pokemon I extracted was Jolly...

Oh God yeah USUM were a nightmare to beat. As were those Horde encounters in Gen 6. Also as I'm trying to currently complete the NatDex on Platinum I noticed Hearthome City has a lot of lag when going through the town's center area. Not too annoying given that I just bike through it but it's...

I'm not too sure this is the place to ask in Smogon but I don't really know where else this question would fit Is there any Gen 5 savefile tool that would allow me to extract Pokemon from the Hall of Fame? I have a lot of Pokemon that I transfered to a Gen 6 cartridge that I eventually lost and...

Lag in Pokemon games when playing on real hardware just irks me. The most common examples given are the Gen 7 games on 3DS but I stumbled upon one that I hadn't heard about. I heard that Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon was filled with references to previous PMD games but I can't figure it out...

That discussion on artwork would be nice if most of the images showed up One nitpick I have regarding HGSS (and to an extent GSC) is that the Pokemon Mansion/Power Plant theme got left in the dust and therefore wasn't redone in the DS remakes, and I find it somewhat disappointing. As far as I...

Absolutely. There's a reason I keep replaying Emerald and Leaf Green instead of ORAS and something else. Nostalgia factor. And as someone who's first games were the 3rd Gen ones I will always be positively biased towards them, and I look at the art style of Gen 3 (and to a certain degree Gen 4)...

Suicune, a Pokemon heavily associated with winds, who learns Gust and Tailwind by level up, doesn't learn Hurricane

I think another aspect from Colosseum that gave me nightmares was having to save at specific spots. Specially with the Mirror B battle which I lost 4 times (admittedly I wasn't playing too finely on the first two but still), and with having to backtrack all the time to save and on each reload...

Well I can't speak for Sw/Sh because I haven't played them, but one game where overleveling was a very real issue that I have played is XY. And I can confidently say that if you go around beating up every trainer in your way you'll end up 6-0'ing the Champion. However, if you don't, overleveling...

Well since we're on the topic of difficulty let's throw my hot take: Pokemon games' difficulty is 90% based around how you play it. Anytime someone says "oh come on X game is too easy" I have callbacks of two particular Emerald runs I've done. One, a solo run with Mudkip where I leveled...

Absolutely. I remember the first time I battled Nihilego (when it shows up with a ??? as its name) I had absolutely no idea how I was supposed to defeat it. I hadn't read any guides and my team was a bit underleveled, to the point where Nihilego defeated almost my entire team before I figured...

Does anyone know what the flee rate for wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid is based on?

I specifically remember Pheromosa's area. A desert with gems embedded into buildings on the background. That huge boulder you had to push at some point (hey wait a minute where do the Pokemon for the Poke Rides show up from in Ultra Space? Whatever). I thought it might have some sort of alien...

Expanding on this monstrous takedown which is lagging my phone as I type... Ultra Space was handled like garbage, specially theareas that the Ultra Beasts reside in. Besides being functionally just hallways, the fact that there was barely anything to explore and gaze at from the worlds of these...

What are the odds of Protect being successful 4 times in a row?

My unpopular opinion is that ORAS was a bad experience Not sure how unpopular this might be, and not sure how much this opinion is influenced by me being literally a Gen 3 baby. But I just finished Omega Ruby, and I frankly found it a downgrade from the originals. Way too much babying. Too many...
