Why? Why doe GameFreak hate them?
>>58407008They're actually perfect. No need for megas.
>>58407008You can't upgrade something already perfect
>>58407008Not getting megas proves why Game Freak loves them
>>58407008they like them too much to ruin them with megays
>>58407016>>58407018>>58407032>>58407049> They won't ever get new abilities that help them competitively > They will always remain objectively weaker than the Gen 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 starters who get new forms or Megas with higher BSTs> Torterra will always lose to Mega Venusaur, Mega Meganium, Mega Sceptile, and Mega Chesnaught> Empoleon will always lose to Mega Blastoise. Mega Feraligatr, Mega Swampert, and Mega Greninja> Infernape will always lose to Mega Charizard, Mega Blaziken, Mega Emboar, and Mega Delpox > The Gens 7, 8 and 9 starters have higher bst values and are already more competitively viable than the Sinnoh starters.> This is good somehowCan someone please help me understand why this is a good thing? I've seen this argument a lot and I just don't get it.
>>58407008at least PLAss painted typhlosion purple right? le faggot empty field love letter to sinnoh??
>>58407106Don't be such a petty numbersfag about it. Who cares, they're still cool. And they've gotten small buffs anyway. Tort got shell smash, Empoleon got roost. The game really starts to feel like a soulless spreadsheet when you're so insistent that everyone's milkshake be made equal. You don't want them rebalancing shit in patches like a fighting game, it'll ruin everything eventually.
>>58407129> Sinnoh's theme is evolution with the DS games and even PLA introducing new evolutions or pre-evolutions for Pokemon> Professor Rowan specializes in the study of Pokemon evolution and was even Professor Sycamore's mentor. > Professor Sycamore arrived to Kalos on a train from the Sinnoh region. It's not just about numbers, Mega Evolution specifically fits with Sinnoh's theme. If any starter trio should get Megas, it should be them. >The game really starts to feel like a soulless spreadsheet when you're so insistent that everyone's milkshake be made equalBut the ideas of starters/first partner Pokemon specifically is that they are supposed to be equal. Torterra was my Venusar/Meganium/Sceptile. The starters are meant to be equivalents
