>play blue for sandshrew/sandslash>spend the entire game waiting for a ground type move>never learns one
/vp/ will defend the shitty gen 1 movepools yet crucifying Meganium and Typhlosion
>>55775457You should've used a TM. Elemental moves in gen 1 were special and rare.
>>55775466Different design philosophies besides Megashit isn't useful even with egg moves and TMs
>>55775457You get the dig tm in cerulean
>>55775457>use Sandslash>learn slash>demolish everything because crit rates are broken
>>55775466>>55775482Never trust the opinion of Megashit fans
>>55775466>>55775468kek
>>55775674if I'm playing blue then I'd rather use Critcat
>>55775466>gen 1 movepoolsFor the most part, deliberately garbage to incentivize the use of TMs. You either learned what was naturally good or spent your one-per-game TMs on shitmons you'll replace when you find their superiors.Sandslash is an utter joke of a version exclusive, completely mogged by Dugtrio who gets actual moves and uses the niche of Slash far better due to being far faster.
>>55775688Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have no major performance issues and are well optimized.
>>55775457>NPCs say psychic types are weal to bugs>level up pinsir scyther butterfree>Never learn one>At least venomoth and parasect learn leech life
>>55775457>play blueI found the problem
>>55775771Meanwhile the correct choice all along was Jolteon.
>>55775457Ground moves are weak and or rare to not undermine Pikachu
>>55775902Not really, no one expected Pikachu to be the breakout star of Pokemon until the game actually released.
>>55775771if you can get an x-speed off on beedrill without dying, twineedle can sweep psychics
>>55775482>Moloch>pedophiles>HollywoodDamn I'm just missing Blackrock for my Bingo...
>>55775457>needing a ground-type move when slash insta-crit everything
>>55775466?Sandslash has EQ/High Horsepower, Knock Off, Leech Life, Gunk Shot/Poison Jab, and Stone Edge/Rock Slide. Can setup with Swords Dance and set hazards like Spikes/Stealth Rocks. Meganium and Typhlosion have dogshit movepools to this day. Did you think people were shitting on their gen 2 movesets and not their current, still awful, movesets?
>>55775771X-scissor???
>>55775466>Pokefags are retarded hypocrites A tale as old as time >Defending gen 1 shitty movepools yet crucifying Meganium and Typhlosion >Calls gen 6 the worst region yet keeps sucking cock everything that game introduced >Hating muh jobmon while excusing samurott skeledirge and empoleon >Hating charizard's constant shilling while also being the same people who loved mega charizard X because of the hecking shounen anime and edgerino trainer
>>55777979You forgot >They want competitive rivals who want to beat you no matter what such as silver >When they got kieran a competitive rival who wants to beat you no matter what they hated him
>>55777979>Calls gen 6 the worst region yet keeps sucking cock everything that game introducedthat's me. Just because it introduced great concepts doesn't mean it's a great game. It's like fucking up a dish despite the base components themselves not being bad, the chef just sucked
>>55778035>great conceptsPlaying dress like a troon and ripping off digimon aren't great concepts
>>55775674>65 speed>Can crit anything
>>55778035>food analogyi agree though.
>>55778041>ripping off digimon isn't a great conceptyes it is. Digimon is fucking great. The more Pokémon tries to be like Digimon the better Pokémon becomes
>>55778071>The more Pokémon tries to be like Digimon the better Pokémon becomesThe last time they did it /vp/ fucking despised it
>>55775743It's actually almost criminal on how much Pokemon relied on a TM to have even a decent moveset back then. Cloning glitches were pretty much a necessity if you didn't want a team of garbage mons.
>>5577804365 is enough to crit most of the time with slash
>>55775468/thread
>>55778043>65 × 100 ÷ 64 = 101% chance of critting (guaranteed crits with Slash)Retard
>>55778115/vp/ fucking despises everything
>>55777420sandslash is cursed with getting everything except what it desperately needs aka an evolution or viable abilities besides sand rush
>>55778115meicrackmon sucks ass though
>>55775820>Pin Missile has avg power of 42 and accuracy 85%Even when super-effective it's terrible and you should just use a move with high BP instead.
>>55777979>Calls gen 6 the worst region yet keeps sucking cock everything that game introducedYou can think Kalos sucks and still like Gen VI overall
>obtain toxicroak in gen 4>learns only a single fighting-type move naturally>learns a ton of dark-type moveswhy not just make it poison/dark at that point
>>55777420>Meganium and Typhlosion have dogshit movepools to this day.Typhlosion keeps getting physical moves despite being a special attacker and Meganium gets a tickle down drip feed of shit because the "muh gentle giant" and "le fodder" dinosaur tropes that Tropius and Aurorus are also victims of. It's fucking Pokemon, not Jurassic Park.It should be Game Freak getting all the shit and not the Pokemon since they're the reason why these Pokemon are weak. There's absolutely no reason why a starter Pokemon should ever have a shit movepool especially with how fucking retarded the powercreep is.All the Pokemon I mentioned deserve better than this.
>>55780109Meganium is built for Fairy type + Triage + Earth Power shenanigans on the pope fr!
