>not a single fucking point wasted into defenses or attack>attack actually REDUCED just to maximize sp atk even moreSo we can agree Sinnoh pandering is worse than Kanto pandering now, right?
>>58723800>nowAlways was.
>>58723800>>58723805If that were true Sinnoh would not have had intentionally half-assed remakes.
>>58723800>did you see flutter mane having a 45% usage rate in any meta it's allowed in?>yeah we need more of that
>>58723800>shillmon panderingftfy
>>58723800>Sinnoh pandering is worse than Kanto pandering now,not even close
Why do you still think Gamefreak gives a shit about balance? They haven't any time in the past 30 years.
>>58723800hoenn pandering has gotten out of control
>>58723800Nah this is just Lucario pandering
>>58723875Man Primal reversion was such a cool concept and they threw it away in a single genPrimal Regigigas never ever
>>58723800Lucario is not Sinnoh, anon. One Pokémon is not a whole region
>>58723800>>58723805Its been obvious. Sinnoh got 2 games (BDSP and PLA) when its turn was up.
>>58723824This, Sinnohfags think they matter when Game Freak gave so many no fucks about the region they outsourced it
>>58723800nah, sinnoh starters got fucked over in both of their revisits, bdsp was fucking outsourced, all of sinnoh's legends were done dirty as fuck, and pla is a dogshit tech demo
>>58723894Primal Regigigas? Nah, just have a Regigigas who has shaken off the rust. No Slow Start, just raw Huge Power.
>Sinnoh pandering>When the Starters have nothing
>>58723824They literally started an experimental and new mainline title delving into Sinnoh's history, which is highly preferable to a repeat of ORAS where any DP remake with "effort" would still be garbage, bastardize what you liked about them, and remain inferior to Platinum. DPPt didn't need remakes anyway.
>>58723800>only few sinnoh mons got megas>panderingwhat about the hoenn mons and legendaries having to be tied to mega evolution (another regions gimmick) especially rayquaza
>>58723824>>58723909PLA is a better game than ORASS
>>58723800In order to shilling >KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO>powergao>Hoeen>Sinnoh/Unova>powergap>Kalos (all starters JUST got amazing megas though this ranking is pending, could go higher) >Johto The rest are too new
>Awful demakes outsourced to people that never released a game before who refused to update or modernize anything that wasn't basic QoL stuff (first time that was ever done), looks like a shitty chink phone game >Kusaka didn't write a BDSP or Hisui arc for Pokemon Adventures despite every other remake getting something>The 'REAL' revisit is PLA- a ball chucking tech demo on ugly plains that looks like they were ripped straight out of Ocarina of time with 95% of the mechanics from the mainline gutted or removed>Apart from the hideous Origin variants of Dialga and Palkia, no Gen 4 pokemon received any gimmicks or new forms forms in Hisui>1 new mega in base ZA>0 regional variants, 0 Paradox Pokemon, and 0 G-max forms despite having a shitty remake and dogshit prequel spinoff in Gen 8you're insane.
>>58723945This. After ORASS, anything’s better.
>>58723986Based, they realized how irredeemably ugly and boring Sinnoh is that they completely gutted the region and avoid acknowledging anything other than the few mons and pokegirls people actually like
>>58723967What did the Sinnoh starters get in PLA?
>>58723800it always was worse, Charizard's popularity was earned. Lucario's was forced
>>58724035Theyre already perfect so they didnt need shitty gimmicks to prop them up
>>58723800Talk to me when it's not the designated Sinnoh shillmon and like the third most popular Pokemon in the series
>>58724033Damn, they must have fucked something up then when even DP are infinitely more popular than that Arceus slop
>>58724033>best starters>best bird>best waifumon>best ground types>best fighting types>best legend>best mythicalbased kinnoh
>>58724090>SV as second best pokemon gameThis has to be a joke list
>>58723800good
>>58724101This is a popularity ranking for (actual) zoomers, there’s another one for millennials and the favorites are (predictably) gen 1, 2, and 3.
>>58724101SV is just new toy syndrome especially for Japs, Gen 10 game will take its spot up there next year
>>58724127>zoomers>Super mario bros. at number 2
>>58724142even zoomers kneel before timeless platformer classics
>>58724101Zoomers + Recency bias.
>>58723986Insane how ZA treated Sinnoh mons better than the actual Sinnoh revisit with its Unova pandering.
it has a fucking shark tail?
>>58723800I feel like a retard for thinking lucario was a special attacker. Probably cause of Aura-Sphere.
>>58723800And it's STILL weaker than mega Lucario X
>>58723837>the players really like Pokemon with high special attack and high speed>better give them what they want, then, for a price
>>58724167Its just a kalos thing. It bent the knee to hoenn in the original game and in za too with the dlc. And with za unova and sinnoh mons are mogging the entire thing with so many characters getting unova aces and a few other unova mons like the musketeers being event released slowly.
>>58723986> 0 regional variants, 0 Paradox Pokemon, and 0 G-maxAll of these are shit. Gimmick slop. It’s unironically good for Sinnoh mons that they haven’t been shat on in this way.
>>58724127>zoomers ranking FFVII and FFXSurprisingly based.
>>58724408Explain.
>>58724127that's the main poll with each age bracket having their own separate polls
>>58723800It's annoying that they're fine min-maxing some pokemon while deliberately wasting stats in others for no reason. Maybe it'll make more sense when abilities are revealed but I don't know why Mega Scolipede and Golurk needed more Special Attack
>>58725102Because gamefreak is a company of retards with no actual balancing sense
>>58723837Don't forget that unlike other typically high usage mons which earn their usage via versatility and ability to glue various team archetypes together, Flutter Mane has very high usage in its formats simply because of its obscene offensive stats and type combination, and an ability that lets it get a drawbackless life orb or choice scarf based on EV spread simply for holding a specific item or having a teammate setting sun for itAnyways let's have something even faster and harder hitting than Horrible Bioweapon
>>58723824This. Even if people want to say Gamefreak fellates Kanto its clear that their swansong was HGSS. Truly this franchise revolves around Gen 2.
>>58723837>>58725191>no spread moves>no utility>no bulk>can’t hold an item>competing for your singular mega slotIt is nowhere near Flutter Mane
>>58725260Can't you use multiple Megas on a timer in ZA? We'll see how they change it up in future "mainline" games if Megas stay. Hopefully they realize limiting it to 1 per team makes 95% of Megas useless just because they're directly competing with shit like Mega Kyogre for that slot
