Why don't people want GameFreak to balance the roster? Everyone always only uses the same 15 Pokemon.
>>58403825Sorry dude we need 130 shitmons with only 10 good mons
Reg H is just not really fun.
>>58403825Do we really need to point out the times GF has 'balanced' things and the disasters that followed?
>>58403825I see 25 different species between these teams so i don't really get the big deal. Pokemon are picked because they fill a role and if they're nerfed to the ground then some other pokemon doing the same thing will then be used even if it's slightly worse. You think people use Incineroar because they like the Pokemon? No, it's just a better Landorus.Plus the only real way to balance is to restrict/delete Pokemon since stat nerfs are pretty rare due to how honestly dogshit it feels to have a Pokemon someone may have formed a connection to be made worse in later entries. The interconnective nature of Pokemon is just not conducive to obliterating Pokemon like it's some sort of fighting game unless the Pokemon's egregious like Zacian. Although I gotta admit I always love system battle rule changes that indirectly nerf specific Pokemon like making Dark immune to Prankster and making some abilities ignore Intimidate.
>>58403825nobody cares about vgc
Because Gamefreak doesn't care about balance? 99% of the roster is worthless shit by design, not mistake.
>>58403825I like how they shuffled around the pokemon to make it look more diverse
>>58403825Because game freak intentionally designed the game so that only 15 pokemon matter. The only reason CHARIZARD isn't in your picture is because game freak is too stupid they don't know how to buff it outside if giving it shill forms
>>58403825there's no such thing as balanceif they 'balance' the games eventually everyone'll flock to a team that the 'balance' benefitted, turning things to be unbalanced againthis happens with games all the time, go to a chess tournament and you'll see most of them just play shit by memorywhen games go pro competitive at one point it just becomes a matter of metas, with new metas happening when there's 'balancing' or new rules or characteristics are added, and from there it's just rinse and repeat until the end of time
>>58403825Scarlet and Violet sold over 27 million copies.No one gives a shit about competitive Pokémon.They could lose every single competitive player in the world, the same figures would still be over 27 million.
>>58403825I think if GF made an active effort to balance the roster, it would somehow end up even more unbalanced than it is now.

Pokemon is a living, breathing world. "All Urshifu suddenly got slower" just doesn't work thematically.
>>58403825Just because the species id is te same doesn't mean the stats, moves, hold item, or tera type are the same. The reason you see a lot of "duplicate" Pokemon in top cut is because they're so versatile they can fill many different roles and can be meshed in to provide all the coverage a balanced team might need.
>>58405914All Clefairies suddenly not getting hurt by Draco Meteor works thematically though, right?
Alolan Ninetales is a $0¥mon that robbed Aurorus of the glory it deserves to have.Only Pokefags like it and by liking it you are buying into the narrative.
