It's a bit of a shame that this particular playthrough had more duds than usual. Poor mons. They should all have chances to shine.

It reeks of "some higher up either just came into power or has recently acquired way too much free time and is going to screw things up for the real users like what always happens when higher ups make arbitrary changes for no good reason."

If the OP image is to be trusted, Linoone is still out in the cold. Poor baby. Ah well, at least there's the Azumarill and Nosepass run to look forward to.

Yeah I would expect most (pseudo-)Legendary or Mythical event Pokemon to rank highly for in-game purposes. I'm sure there's some obscure counterexample somewhere but for the most part the high stat totals, strong moves, or actually-decent gimmicks will overwhelm the computer. I recall the free...

My own narrow version of this is the Battle Tents of Emerald. I think that having a few attractions dotted around the region where the rules of battling are changed in some unique way would be quite delightful. Especially if done as a brief distraction instead of asking for the hours of...

Isn't it already obtainable with an Old Rod? Fisher Ralph (also on Route 32) can trigger a swarm once you've registered him, and during swarms Qwilfish appears for all three Rods. Obviously this is way more work than a person probably wants to put in for a Nuzlocke and it's harder to guarantee...

I'm a traditionalist; RGB all the way.

Someday I'll finish the thorough version, but for now...

It seems to me that the lesson in this is to pay less attention to stereotypes and vocal subgroups and to encourage others to do the same instead of worrying about what our stereotypes are, as they're almost certainly going to be negative no matter what.

LGPE are actually pretty trivial because of the Dexit. If regional forms don't count, then each game has 135 of 153 Pokemon available. If they do, then each game has 149 of 171 available. Mew, Meltan, and Melmetal are only available with outside help and each game has 11 version exclusives, 15...

Yeah there are very, very few Pokemon that can't sweep the league at sufficient overlevel and they're generally Magikarp-esque.

While "Lucas" is certainly an incredible rip-off, it is not infringing on Nintendo. The design has distinct aspects in coloration and silhouette. OTOH, players of Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas have grounds for a false advertising case, as Lucas, much like the scantily clad women of Evony's ads...

Excuse you, but Alaska has great odds on the grounds that we're an awesome tourist destination. Our only flaw is that Game Freak won't like the fact that Ice types can be obtained anywhere.

One thing to keep in mind is that China will almost certainly be large enough for many Pokemon regions. It would be very easy to sidestep a lot of the issues by just choosing the right area of China to adapt (though I guess this risks running afoul of the One China thing??? Seems more negotiable...

I'm pretty horrifically indecisive and love lots of Pokemon - not all of them, but lots. But a couple years ago I went to a tattoo convention to get my first ink. A particularly nerdy artist there was looking to catch the OG 151 in his own way, by tattooing them to people. He'd just started the...

Ponyta doesn't get shoved down your throat. It's your only non-starter Fire type in DP, but you don't have to have a Fire type. The game doesn't go out of its way to force you to use Ponyta in any sense. It does with the Pansimis and they're all bad.

You still want to bold Drowzee (Route 11), Magnemite (Route 10 which you can get to before you get Flash), and possibly Voltorb and Venonat if you're accounting for Yellow. Also, you get Cut after going through eight routes: 1-6 + 24 and 25 (to get the ticket)

I stopped after LGPE because I did not like them at all and because I'm one of those Dexcut fanatics. All I play are the older games! I still have fun. I hope everyone playing any Pokemon game is having fun too.

You can definitely be lazy in an intentional way. Plus, since regional forms can have variations to BST, you'd think that things convergently evolving to the same physiology would still end up with different BSTs to reflect their separate histories.
