>Tease Mega Malamar prior to release for an entire week>Make Inkay available around mid-game so it can evolve right away >Make it Emma’s ace>Stats are barely passable for mega standards with no ability>Can’t get it until the end of the gameWhat were they thinking?
>>58460073>What were they thinking? The same thing they were thinking with megas in XY
Would a field wide contrary ability make him OP?
>>58460073Should I make this piece of shit physical or special?
>>58460096That ability would probably be too confusing for people for them to consider including.
>>58460101yes
Making so many megas locked to scripted rogue encounters fucks the game up a lot. First it bottlenecks a lot of the encounters into happening one after the other, which feels like a waste since they are more intense than most of the content in the game. I genuinely think those fights have a lot of the most unique gimmicks and placement patterns to learn in the game, so feeling like you are 'getting them out of the way" feels wrong.But it also means you won't get a lot of them until your team is at like level 40 and mostly decided.Rogue Megas shouldn't be locked to main story outside of the initial one, they should be optional content and a reward for exploring, not too different from Dynamax encounters in the wild area of Sword and Shield.
>>58460136Ok hater.
And then on the other hand the guy you battle to reach rank A just uses Mega Charizard X (which you can buy the stone for as soon as you unlock mega) and it's the most anti-climatic thing ever after all the others used new megas
>>58460073>What were they thinking?it's almost like the game is shit made with 4 bucks
>>58460139>I like this content. I wish it was properly integrated.>HATER
>>58460144Some little Timmy somewhere is crapping his pants at Charizard being the ace of the last character.Our "this shit is boring" is someone else's kino.
I don't know why they made so many static, story locked encounters. Specially when a lot of them are ability dependent in design.
>>58460073Uhhhhhhhhhhhh NoT eVeRy PoKeMoN nEeDs To be CoMpEtItIvE sO tHiS iS oK acTuAlLy !
>>58460197I actually think little Timmy is going to be mad he can't use the cool Fire Dragon. This was also a massive problem with XY, which had less of an excuse to cap shit behind post-game since there was fuck all to do outside of Battle Tower crap and PVP
>Charizard and Blastoise stones can be bought>fuck you if you picked Bulbasaur, that stone is story locked lol
>The actual rogue fights have really cool gimmicks like camerupt creating unique stage hazards (bombs) and banette creating multiple shadow clones.>These dont translate to the player controlled version at all and abilities don't exist so Megas are just straight stat boosts even when many are clearly giving up good stat spread for the sake of an ability they can't use in this game.
>>58460152That's a slop devouring nintendrone. Don't pay attention to it.
