so why did they remove levitate again? god forbid a ghost do ghost things like float
>>58237414Think about the Ground type pokemons
>>58237414it was overshading CHARIZARD, it had to be stopped
>>58237414Its because Gengar had been a top tier competitor since Gen 1. The Pokémon Company decided it was time for it's reign to end.
>>58237414punished for the sins of mega gengar
Gengar consistently rates hire than Charitard so we can't have that
Gamefreak is so fucking retarded that they probably thought it was a buff because now it can absorb Toxic Spikes and can benefit from Terrains now that the Tapu spam made them viables.
>>58237414it's called getting normalizedit nade no sense that this fatass got levitate in the first place
>>58237414Because they hate us. Same reason they dexcut and shit out BDSP.
>>58237414Levitate shouldn't even be a thing. It should simply be an innate quality some Pokemon have.
>>58237679>It should simply be an innate quality some Pokemon have.those already exist, they're called abilities and Levitate is one of them
goodgengar deserves to suffer
>>58237431The sins of being an ugly as fuck design with retarded chicken legs
Forget Gengar GIVE THE MAGNEZONE LINE LEVITATE YOU COWARDS
>>58237697It don't make sense that Beedrill,Dustox or Magnezone can get hit Earthquake and stuff. They are always flying/levitating.
>>58237414Because Gengar doesn't float. It, in fact, clips into the ground; it's a shadow.
>>58237822these are less about flavor, more about mechanics if more things had a free immunity it would really make ground types suck
>>58237808>tfw stopped actively playing pokemon back in gen 6>have literally spent the past decade remembering magnet rise as the magnemite lines Dream World ability version of levitate i guess i confused it with magnet PULL which... stopped steel types from switching out for some reason
>>58237841What?
>>58237808magnet pull is literally the entire reason the magnezone line is good, they don't NEED levitate
>>58237841>ghastly floats>haunter floats>"gengar stops floating becaus... i dont know hes more dense now?"
>>58238190No
>>58238098>Dream World abilityI haven't seen that term in like a decade
What-
the charizard illuminati pulled a few strings to have him kneecapped in a back alley
>>58237431I hate Gengar
>>58237414>god forbid a ghost do ghost things like float Floating =/= Levitating
>>58238237Um
>>58238239Ghosts are suppose to levitate first, which mean that they float afterwards.
>>58238190Looking back, first gen's only Ghost line was so disjointed design wise.
>>58238269Wait until you learn about dragonite
>>58238270the older i get the less weird that line seems to me, it reminds me of a tadpole metamorphosing into a salamander
>>58237414>dies to Dig>immune to Dig>dies to Dig againThe story of Gengar.
>Why is the minmaxed special attacker with an overpowered mega losing the ability that gives it an immunity to the best move in the game that's also one of its few important weaknesses shortly after ghost got a massive buff in gaining neutrality against steelhmm
>>58238380Game Freak has never cared about balance before, especially not for KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Pokemon and especially not for the KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO shillmons, Why start now?
>>58238420>Game Freak has never cared about balance beforethey definitely did around that time>nerfed mega mom>nerfed gale wings>nerfed aegislash>nerfed Smeargle
>>58237414I just want him to have counter again. It was a move tutor in FRLG and I brought that nigga through like 6 generations before they ruined the movesets in Gen IX.
Why can't Pokefags raise a shitstorm about actual bullshit like Aurorus not having Power Gem and all the SFMAs like Cameruot from gen 3 if they have all the time and energy on Leddit and Twatter for crying about Gengar losing Levitate and Typhlosion not having its flames in battle?
>>58237414Look anon, Gengar clearly traded Levitate to be able to get a Visa into a bunch of regions, You should have figured that out by now.
>>58238438They also nerfed dark void in response to the smeargles spamming it in doubles.
>>58238269Gen 1 in general is disjointed.I'm extremely iffy on how I feel about it.
>>58239268Most of the gen 1 designs were mismatched pieces glued together with spit unsurprisingly enough blastoise wasn't for the squirtle line and fagonite wasn't for the dragonair line originally
>>58237679>It should simply be an innate quality some Pokemon have.It already is, if they happen to be Flying type. Levitate is just there to propagate it to some non-Flying types at the cost of their ability slot.
