>hey kid, congrats on reaching mt silver!>you know that cool new pokemon your rival used that you cant find in the wild? you can finally catch your own now, here at the very of the game!>as a reward, it learns no good physical moves and its STAB types are using its worst dogshit stat, good luck using this piece of shit in stadium 2 you cocksucker!What the FUCK were the they thinking?!
They were thinking autistic virgins 30 years later would judge their game design based on modern standards surrounding hidden statistics that no one cared about at the time.
>>58767511>Gen 4 gave us Weavile AND the phys/spec splitAnother instance of Gen 4 fixing Gen 2’s mistakes
They really thought it was worth it just for Beat Up
>>58767511>supposedly a “””kamaitachi”””>can’t even learn razor wind (kamaitachi in JP)Even Floatzel can learn it. This thing is just a stray cat larping as a weasel.
Why does the Sneasel line get buffed every two generations?>Gen 2: Sneasel introduced>Gen 4: Weavile introduced, physical-special split means it can use its STAB now>Gen 6: Knock Off buff, Icicle Crash added to moveset>Gen 8: Heavy-Duty Boots introduced, Triple Axel introduced, Sneasler introducedWhat's the Gen 10 buff going to be?
>>58767514>this retard can't look at a pokemon's stats page and notice an a particularly low stat so xhe has to claim it's "hidden"Absolute state of /vpiss/
>>58767511The reward is finding new amazing Pokemon hidden beyond the regular game. Something most kids wouldn't achieve. Then you would be able to show everyone you've caught such rare Pokemon and be the coolest kid for a week.You wouldn't get it.
>>58767514Even back then, Sneasel was dogshit.
>>58767514There's nothing hidden about it, all you have to do is use a stab move to notice that its special damage output is terrible even if super effective.>>58767764Being available at the end of the game would be fine if it were actually amazing. But its not, its actually shockingly weak EVEN by gen 2 standards.
>>58768333Gen II has several mons whose value comes mostly from their rarity. It encourages more interesting trades (since you might end up trading one of your better mons for a 'worse' one you don't know how to find), but since most people nowadays play older Pokemon games without engaging with multiplayer features the appeal is more or less lost.
>>58767731Pickpocket now removes the opponent's item on contact even if you're already holding one.
>>58767731>What's the Gen 10 buff going to be?Hopefully giving Weavile a second ability like Sneasler. Even keeping one of Sneasel's would be nice
>>58768427That would suck because it would prevent the strong hit from Knock Off.
>>58767764That's what Larvitar is for, not total garbage like Sneasel and Misdreavus.
>>58768333>Being available at the end of the game would be fine if it were actually amazing. But its not, its actually shockingly weak EVEN by gen 2 standards.It's a rare Pokemon and one of a handful of the new Dark types. Why is it weird that an optional endgame area has a ton of rare Pokemon only found there?>>58769554Misdreavus is good in Gen 2.
I played Crystal so I can't relate
>>58767511And some retards here still reject the phys-special split despite absolute buffoonery like this one
>>58767511>you know that cool new pokemon your rival used that you cant find in the wild?You think the fire rapist is "cool"? What the hell is wrong with you?
>>58767515Still until the end
>>58767511Is better if you think of those games not as Gen II but as Pokemon 2. The new pokemon are a novelty not the norm. The aren't supposed to be easy to find.
>58770132
>>58770309Maybe if game freak thought of those game as Gen 2 instead of “let’s goldbrick and slack off for years until Iwata carries our bum asses and makes the game for us” gen 2 wouldn’t have those sort of problems
>>58770314He played Crystal, dumbfuck
>>58770344There is no way in hell that underage has played any Pokémon game in its life
>>58770314>>58770352uh oh typedo melty
>>58770739The typedo is >>58770327
>>58767764>>58770309When were kids ever impressed by rare but unusably shit mons? Kids always valued strength more than rarity
>>58767511Gen 2 was rushed and they knew everyone played through the game with just their starter. The real crime is how shit Meganium is for the main game in comparison to the others.
>>58767511Is that a:FASTFRAILHINDERED ATTACKER?!?
>>58767511>took them 20 years to get it right
>>58767731second ability, its current ones are worthless. Personally, I think Technician would fit both Sneasel and Weavile while giving it something unique since Shard is one of the moves that isn't learned by any Technician mon yet
>>58767731They give it Dire Claw.
Why did they made so many physical dark types back in gen 2 and 3?
>>58772269why weren't dark type moves like bite, crunch, thief, beat up all physical?
>>58772269>Murkrow mixed>Houndour special>Umbreon defensive, both offenses are weak>TTar, attack leaning but is actually mixed Sneasel is the only physical attacker
>>58771826could be worse
>>58767764>Then you would be able to show everyone you've caught such rare Pokemon and be the coolest kid for a week.Then it'd get oneshot by a Fire Blast from Billy's Mewtwo he traded over with the Time Machine and no one would give a fuck.
