What the fuck were they thinking?
Are dragons scared of fairies in real life or something? I don't understand the typing.
>>731164097Appeal to femalesAccidentally appealed to males who pretend to be female
Sex with sylveon (male)
>>731164097>What the fuck were they thinking?That dragon type was too strong.I haven't played Pokémon since Crystal and even I know that.
>>731164470Instead they made a type that's even more OP than dragon
>>731164097>(((simultaenous worldwide release)))>introduced faggot type>dropped sprites for ugly 3D models>sucks off KANTOOOOOOOO nonstop to the point where the first wild pokemon you encounter is coded to always be pidgey>insultingly easy, even by pokemon's low standards>only had like 70 new mons compared to BW's 150XY was a mistake
>>731164097Fun fact.A Pokemon only actually falls under the fairy type if they actively and commonly attempt to seduce humans.
>>731164297Projecting faggotry onto Sylveon is a sure sign that you genuinely are a faggot deep in your soul.Japan pretty much exclusively draws Sylveon as a female.
>>731164501That's because poison and steel are dogshit offensively and the devs don't want to fix it.
>>731164501This, holy shitDragon might have been too strong but Ice Beam being in every other move pool kept them on their toes at leastPoison and Steel has fuck-all in comparison
>>731164561>sylveon:/>sylveon japan:O
>>731164723No Sylveon is the same it's your gay ass perception that's different
>>731164097Make fairy weak to bug.
>>731164097>We need to nerf Dragons>We need to do something about Outrage>We should probably do something about U-Turn spam too>We'll make a new type, immune to Dragon, we'll make it weak to shit offensive types so all Dragons have to use worse coverage from now on, and uh we'll make it resist U-turn, no one cares about Bugs anyway
>this will bring gays to our game!
>>731164821Only if U-turn gets nerfedSeriously Bug as an offensive type will always be held back by U-Turn being on half the mons in the game and being stupidly good
Rate my current Platinum team>Prinplup>Luxio>Ponyta>Meditite>Bronzor>Staravia
its almost as though Pokemon's rock paper scizor mechanics... are dumb as fuck?
>>731164097I want to fuck Mega Audino
Xerneas doesnt get nearly as much hate as I'd like.Needs more guro art.
>>731164097The only fairy type that's super strong right now is Clef. Fat fuck never dies.
>>731164520You forgot >>>>>>only 1 (ONE) new bug typeWHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING
>>731165296Why would you ever need more
>>731164804>perception :/>perception japan :O
>>731164097Combining it with Psychic to create the apex predator.
>>731164470>>731164501Wasn't the whole point of dragon types that they're supposed to be super strong late game pokemon, which is why most of them are pseudos or legendaries? Doesn't adding a new type that counters them so hard defeat that?
>>731165596Early and late game do not matter for compsloppers
>>731164097They needed a counter to dragons but don't know how to design workable ice types without jacking up their stats to legendary levels (which still rarely worked to offset their terrible weaknesses.)
>>731165596Pokemon pivoted from being balanced around single player progression, to being balanced around PVP and just fuck it give the player a handheld nuke launcher every title nobody cares anyway.
>>731165347Pinsir is always such a headache to obtain, I probably wouldn't know it even exists if it wasn't for the show.
>>731165347>pinsirUnusable>heracrossNot even a top 2 bug in its own generation
What does it mean to be immune to dragon?
>>731165772Is Scissor still GOAT or did powercreep finally do it in?
>>731164520>>(((simultaenous worldwide release)))Is this supposed to be a bad thing? Games coming out like a year later in America and a month later in Europe was fucking stupid.
>>731165772>add steel to pokemon>it's 3x coolerworks every time
>>731165786What does it mean to be immune to anything?
>>731165824Still alive and kicking believe it or not
>>731165898Technician STAB Bullet Punch and STAB U-Turn is just nasty
>>731164156Haven't you seen Sleeping Beauty? Every spell the evil dragon lady has is countered by the fairy's magic
>>731165786What does it mean that one kind of fire move is typed fire and the other one is typed dragon?
>>731165883there's some kind of logic behind all the previous immunities
>>731166003>Technician STAB Bullet PunchDoes pokeymen MP really rely on moves with 60 power? I thought they'd all be spamming hyperbeams and shitt. never played MP and never will
>>731166184Okay then, why can't psychic affect dark?
They should have made Fairy weak against Bug instead of resisting it.
>>731164097they were thinking "we need to buff gardevoir and mawile" and they are so real for that
>>731164160A tale old as time.
mawilepronounced mah willy i laugh at so many of its moves
>>731166217>60 BP movesScizors ability technician boosts the power of those moves. U turn is 70, though. Most 100+ BP moves only go to 1 or 2 pokemon or have a big downside
>>731167548>Scizors ability technician boosts the power of those movesYeah I said bullet punch, 40 x 1.5 = 60
>>731164097>ummm let's add a new type to counter dragons, outrage spam is too strong>also let's make it resist every popular attacking type, like bug! bug is strong right everyone spams u-turn so it must be>and to balance it lets make it only weak to two of the worst offensive types ever made with no fucking coverage at all>let's also spam it everywhere and make every cute pokemon part fairy because it's the cute type>yes perfect we aren't recreating gen 1 psychic at all, see it's weak to poison that means it's balanced. ship it
isn't it about time they added a new typing
>>731169290Why put effort into any new game if people have proven time after time that they'll eat whatever slop they shit out anywayExpect gen 10 to become the best selling gen ever (right above gen 9)
>>731164943pick up a gliscor
>>731164097>We want the furry audienceThey succeeded
>>731164156The type literally just exists to counter Dragon because it had no effective counter-play to itself except for itself. Ice is the single most dogshit typing in the game and by far. Unironically it's best to run a Water mon with Ice Beam and lose out on STAB than have that utter dogshit typing bring down your defences like a sack of bricks.Plus they needed to asspull a type they could add retroactively to previous generations otherwise they'd need to design like 20-30 mons (including entire evo lines) for one type in one generation to compensate for the decade they didn't exist. You can tell it was desperate because only like two or three mons aren't dex padders with utter garbage stats.
It wasn't even until they gave Salamence moxie for ZERO reason that people began to think>okay maybe dragon only being resisted by steel is KIND of retardedoutside of that, it wasn't that dragon as a type was op, it's that>600BST pokemon with gigantic movepools were OPSalamence was eventually banned in gen 4 OU because it had like 7 different viable builds and you had NO idea which one it was until it had killed somethingSame for Garchomp. Same for Latias.But of course game freak were either too stubborn or too retarded to just make Ice resist dragon and dragon weak to poison so here comes Fairy type out of nowhere.That also resists Bug.For some reason.
>>731169290Light type has needed to exist forever.Like look at shit like Necrozma.
>>731164097Sex with Tapu Lana
>>731169648>dark is immune to light type physical attacks>dark is weak to light type special attacks>light is immune to dark type special attacks>light is weak to dark type physical attacksMake it happen GF
>>731169648Just make light and sound types to round the number to a nice 20 types, and make both strong against fairy. Done.
>>731169603I had fun killing dragons with my Mamoswine :)>b-but compDon't care
>>731169290>>731169648Sound should be a type. It already has a metric ton of moves and abilities that revolve around it and its special mechanics (soundproof, bypassing substitute, etc)
My favorite type is normal
>>731169856wait, you don't think an ice/ground type with 130 attack and a stab priority move would have seen competitive play?
>>731164097Incredibly based type. My pink blob from the Moon will now proceed to fuck your throat, dragonfag.
>>731169983Anon said ice is bad, I told him I had fun with an ice monCan't even begin to pretend to care about what you're implying about compslop
>>731169856so you swept the toddler game with your 130 ATK glass cannon, now try fighting an opponent that isn't running a team of 4 mons with their level-up movesets and doesn't know how to switch. proud of you for beating a game that can be beaten even with a shitmon like ariados lil bro
>>731170030everyone has fun with ice type mons until they have to take a hitthat's the point of them
>>731170080Thanks :)Keep jerking off how good you are at said toddler game
>>731170080>now try fighting an opponent that doesn't know how to switch
>>731169856Mamoswine is one of the best ice types due to being a badass mammoth and part ground anyway. based mamoswine enjoyer
>>731170240you can tell he reworded it halfway through and didn't check it properly
>>731169652sex with lele's ass
>>731169856mamoswine is good because he's fast(ish) and hits hard, DESPITE his typing. just because he makes it work with his hyper-offensive stats and kit. weavile is the same. they exist to dish out a beating while not being able to take any themselves.ask yourself why you were running mamoswine and not something like glalie despite both having access to icicle crash and ice shard and earthquake.most ice types do not have the things mamoswine has going for it.
>>731170527its high attack makes use of ice shard's fast priority for revenge killing or chip damage
>>731170669>ask yourself why you were running mamoswine and not something like glalieCause Glalie looks retarded and I don't think it's even in HeartGold anyway
>>731169856bro is still riding the hype of one-shotting cynthia's "infamous" garchomp with 4x priority move lmao
>>731170938Maybe you should make a team with anything but your overlevelled starter sometime and you'd have similar memoriesI remember Ampharos as my last pokemon just barely thunder punching Kingdra to death while at red health
>>731170938i can guarentee you that 99.999% of players who beat cynthia the first time in a playthrough were not marching up there with an EV trained mamoswinemaybe on a difficulty mod or nuzlocke but not a regular cartridge playthroughalso cynthia's AI was retarded in diamond & pearl and the reason you died was because she just straight statchecked you
>>731171085>EV trainedwhat an odd thing to bring up. why would you think a 130 ATK mon needs EV training to oneshot at a 4x weakness? be honest.
>>731171184garchomp isn't that frail and unless your mamoswine is also level 60+ you're not oneshotting it with a 40BP move even with stab and 4x weakness
>>731164160>Accidentally appealed to males who pretend to be female>females now averse to it because its surrounded by tranniesYup. Congrats nintendo
>Swap in Ice type>get Break Breaked/Fire Punched/Fire Fanged/Flamethrowerd/Fire BlastedThus Fairy was born because it's hard for Dragons to check both Fairy and Ice at once.
>>731171229cynthia's garchomp is level 66. if you're taking a level 60 to the E4 you're underleveled, plain and simple. regardless a level 60 mamoswine with 0 EVs and a negative ATK nature still does a good chunk of damage to her garchomp.
>>731171582you're right, but in context we're going off >>731170938 here, which simply doesn't happen unless you are at least level 77, with less levels required the better your ATK IVs or EVs are>Lvl 77 0+ Atk 0 IVs Mamoswine Ice Shard vs. Lvl 66 0 HP / 0 Def Garchomp: 204-240 (85.3 - 100.4%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
>>731171893also I may be misremembering but I think cynthia's garchomp had 30 in every IV, I forgot to change from 31, if it's 0 then obviously the level requirement dips a bit further
Great. Now I want to play Pokemon. Thanks faggots. Which one do I play?
>>731172064White
>>731172064Earliest I can recommend is EmeraldPlatinum and HGSS also good, but turn the sound down for the latter.Otherwise B2W2.
>>731172064Pokemon Showdown if you just want to battlePokemon Pathways or one of the numerous good romhacks if you want a full gameFuck the actual mainline games at this point Gamefreak has zero soul
>>731170631Can you U-Turn into your homie (me)? I'd need a turn.
>>731171893Okay but chances are your Mamoswine doesn't have 0 ATK EVs or IVs and a negative personality either. Just having an average 15 ATK IVs turns Ice Shard into a guaranteed 2HKO at level 60. And if you've been using him semi-regularly he should should have ~60 EVs at least. Give him a Nevermelt-Ice and he starts chunking upwards of 70% of Garchomp's health. It adds up quick.
>>731172064Pokemon Unbound. Fuck the official games.
>>731164097They had one job and fucked it up
>>731172335somewhat off-topic but I had to check how you even get mamoswine in diamond & pearlturns out you have to wait for swinub to be "swarming" (if that's post-game or not, idk) since they otherwise don't show up. if it is post game then outside of trading you can't actually have mamoswine for your first clear of the elite four.
>>731164520I played every gen up to and including X and Y and that was the gen that broke me. I was the type of kid that would constantly get on Serebii and my DS was basically just a Pokémon machine since I played little else on it. I’m glad that X and Y turned me off from the series cause it just got worse from there. I couldn’t imagine being hyped for Sword and Shield or Scarlet and Violet.
>>731164097>fairy already resistant to all the badass types>instead of throwing bug types a bone and making fairy weak to bug they make fairy RESIST bug typesIm convinced fairy only resists bug to remove one of gardevoir's weaknesses. Would have been kino if they gave her a QUAD WEAKNESS to it instead. Fuck gamefreak
>>731172476Yeah swarms are postgameAnyway, see >>731170812I'm the dude who brought up Mamoswine and I have no idea why anon immediately started talking about Diamond
>>731169603Couldn't they just... make Ice immune to Dragon instead of adding the tranny type?
>>731172203>Pokemon PathwaysAgainst my better judgement I'm going to try this.>>731172395That game pisses me off. I like that it has hard shit to fight, but am pissed I have to constantly change my lineup. I didnt get very far. Maybe I'm just a shitter.
>>731172064I played a romhack called Emerald Seaglass a while back and it was a good time
>>731166340Does she you know with the crickets?
>>731169290the only two times theyve added types its been to nerf an overbearing type from the previous gen which doesnt apply to anything right now
>>731172568if you mean >>731171085 that was me, since her appearance in gen 5 wasn't really as notable apart from how she's just sitting in some unmarked house and pounces on you the moment you enter
>>731172576no because most dragon types also learn fire-type moves which minces ice-types, and they absolutely will because they have superior (special) attack and speed, despite the STAB loss
>>731164097>kills the dragon meta>kills the weather wars>makes old pokemon meta now>accidentall introduce Scald and Knockoff meta.>soclose.jpg>>731165596using pve balancing for pvp is retarded in literally any game. obviously pvp'ers arent going to be held back. You need to have fully EV'd level 100's to even begin competing>>731169512this. you have a massive ground weakness. drop bronzor, you already have a steel type in empoleon and a psychic type in medicham
>>731172735>no because most dragon types also learn fire-type movesKinda like how all the dragon types know iron head and poison jab anyway?
>>731172735And Water types learn Ice Beam to cover the Dragon and Grass types that resist them. Nobody has trouble dealing with Water types regardless.
Hydreigon and Conkeldurr were overused during 5th Gen. They made Fairy to nerf not 1 but 3 Types all at once (Dark, Dragon, Fighting). Fairy was so good that weak Pokemon like Marill and Mawile became gods.
>>731164097nothing, head empty
>>731172861are you really going to waste a precious move slot for a move that is only useful against a specific type? come on now anon>>731172907but water types don't have an inherent stat advantage over electric/grass types. if something lives that no-STAB ice beam your water type is going to get BTFO. assuming you outspeed in the first place (good luck against electrics).
>>731165824Scizor has been bouncing between UU and OU since Gen 7. It's usually the glue holding UU together, and the couple of times OU steals Scizor end up resulting in several quickbans in UU as the things Scizor checked become overbearing. Believe it or not, the latest time Scizor rose to OU was because it fucks up Weezing. It just ended up falling back to UU this month because Weezing users gave up one of their STABs (usually their Fairy STAB) to slot in Will-o-Wisp for Scizor.
>>731173076>gholdengoif any mon in existence has ever existed as proof gamefreak wants to shit on competitive whenever they can, this is it
>>731172970>Hydreigon and Conkeldurr were overused during 5th Gen. They made Fairy to nerf not 1 but 3 Types all at once (Dark, Dragon, Fighting).the one type fighting type was based and not unironically worse than Normal and they nerfed it>>731172970>Fairy was so good that weak Pokemon like Marill and Mawile became godsAzumarill was already OU in Gen 5
>>731172861steel and poison sucking ass offensively is a big part of why fairy is good
>>731172064i found infinite fusion interesting, i went in blind.what i don't like is how often i broke the game in half so bad i had to shelf a mon simply because it trivialized the game. probably best to turn your brain off and use your favorite custom sprites for the most part.also never use slaking
>>731173186qrd?
>>731172064>>731173365Adding to this play Kuray's Infinite Fusion instead and pre download the KIF sprite pack directly into the folder. It's just better in everyway. Fucm Infinite Fusion for taking away Fusion breeding and not allowing unfusing trades. The game is already broken as fuck, just let it be a fun sandbox.
>>731173474its ability, good as gold, means your opponent can't use status effect moves, including volatile ones. no leech seed. no defog, no curse, etc.
>introduce a Mega Evolution that has a new typing>forget to give it movesIT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING
