>Meta is Incineroar cancer and hyper offensive megas>None of the shitmons got upgrade>It will only get worse with next updates >New megas are basically 90% shit>Gen 10 will fucking nuke us with the power creep>Game has nothing to do in single player, there is nothing to buy or grind forjesus fucking christ
>>59146344>None of the shitmons got upgradeAny other franchise would have them buffed by now.
I'm terrified that Gen X won't have turn based combat now, and we'll be forced to play Champions forever.
>>59146344>None of the shitmons got upgrade This is so lame, the one advantage of dreepfeeding existing content like this would be to rebalance some Pokémon a bit as they go but nah can't be assed to do that. I'm just gonna stick with playing on showdown and cobblemon
so basically everything wrong with pokemon and the reason why it has been shit for 15+ years is because gamefreak has to consider vgc cancer
Shitmons not getting notable buffs is definitely even more insulting considering the current roster size. Could have given some time to shine, but nah. The amount of missing items is also baffling.
>>59146344>casuals are getting to experience how dogshit GF is at balanceThe secondhand enjoyment of Champions is great at least
>>59147632Applies to singles as well bro.
>>59147637singles (smogon) has lower tiersI'd never touch OU if I played showdown
>>59147674This is true for Smogon, sure. But on the 3v3 ladder you'll be dealing with the OU crew even outside of Smogon rules.
>>59146344>ban Mega Samenence>keep Gengar for some bumfuck reason>give Chandelure Infiltrator in goddamn 2026WHY
>>59147602Meanwhile Palword: here's a trust level system that skyrockets shitmon base stats into equivalent to high tier ones. The devs are massive Pokemon autists, I just can't prove it yet....
>>59146344Meta needs a few days to settle, not hours, imediatist anon
>>59147610>Gen X won't have turn based combat now,This is a good thing. Speed will no longer be the end-all, be-all stat that it currently is.If we had the same number of Pokémon/moves but real time, it's inherently more engaging and complex.
>>59147633>Shitmons not getting notable buffs is definitely even more insulting considering the current roster size. Could have given some time to shine, but nah.Gotta remember that this is Pokemon where golden opportunities are always intentionally missed.
>>59147706No kanto shillmon privileges for salamander
>>59146344This game was dead before it even began
>>59147821Speed was never the strongest stat after Gen 2 nerfed it affecting crit chance. It only matters on squishy Pokemon that can't afford to take a hit since they die if they don't go first.
>>59147674It's crazy to me that Smogon isn't routinely praised for its tiering system. People who like weaker Pokemon are given more than ample leeway to use them in a tier more suited to their power level. Don't like how Walking Wake made Kingdra irrelevant? Good, you can use Kingdra in UU/RU/NU/PU where it can actually impact the meta and isn't outclassed.
>>59147802>Palworld, the series where you to force the monsters to work in sweatshops, shoot them, eat them, and rape them, respects its monsters more than Pokemon which is ostensibly all about "leh power of friendship'the bar is in hell
>>59147898It sure matters in low level runs when fast enemy pokes one shot your entire team before you can land a single move
>>59147906Because to be fair UBER and OU easily represent 90% of plays and you can get that shit close to 99% if you toss in UU. It's fun to have these formats where shitmons shine, honestly I think it would work wonders in VGC too but the lower formats really don't see much play
>>59147906The majority of people don’t know how smogon functions, it’s memes and shitposting all the way down. Look at any non-smogon area, those people are fucking clueless.
>>59147868And that's unironically a good thing.
Incineroar will continue to be a in every VGC team until moral improves.
>>59147821real-time is often less complex than a well designed turn-based system since you can circumvent strategy with reaction time. What you want is an FFX style turn order where speed can give you more actions and different moves have different delay associated with them rather than just a flat me first you second dicotomy. Now pokemon that go all-in on speed have an actual advantage and weaker moves can see use as an option to deal damage without delaying your next action much.
>>59148694Isn't that what Legends: Asseus did?
>>59147622Leads one to think if they actually care.
>>59147802Imagine the humiliation ritual for Game Freak if Rock was ever added as an element for Palworld.a certain typing would actually be better in Palworld if that happens
