Daily reminder that Terastallization is the best mainline Pokémon gimmick, and it's not even close.
>>
>>59255493
we know

>>59255493
It's too boring. It makes users monotype and slaps a lazy damage boost on top. Most interesting part of it is pseudo-reviving Hidden Power, which itself is poorly executed and shouldn't even be necessary in the first place.
>>
>stellar even won worlds
well executed gimmick
>>
>>59255500
The most interesting part is the mid match mindgames. No one even uses Tera blast.
>>
>>59255500
It was balanced and therefore successful. Every other gimmick was relegated to specific Pokemon. Tera was nonpartisan.
>>
>>59255515
she plays singles, be nice to her
>>
>>59255515
>>59255524
Maybe because Tera isn't in the game tardos.

> It's too boring.
Better boring than only existing to tell NPC’s which Pokémon to like such as M*gas or completely broken like D*namax
>It makes users monotype
So?

How is being

If you played the game you’d realize that Tera Blast was almost never used. The overwhelming majority of Tera was used to power up already powerful strong STAB moves to nuclear levels or flipping your defensive profile to survive hits. The most interesting part of Tera was that it was dynamic meaning any Pokémon could Tera at anytime and that unlike braindead win buttons like m*gas and d*namax there were potential downsides to teraing since every type has strengths and weaknesses.

Why are you replacing letters with asterisks? Stop it, you loser.

lol update your filters faggot
>>
>>59255493
best gimmick, worst visuals, should have gone with the TCG Delta look but more refined, or even have the typing logos hover around them like little wisps
>>
>>59255493
Still shit and it shouldnt exist like any other gimmick
>>
>>59255493
>source: "new = good", trust me bro
The truth is terastal is objectively a terrible gimmick and I can make a laundry list

>It looks like shit
>the hats are fucking retarded
>no unique forms aside two shill DLC mons
>It goes against clicking super effective moves, a defining staple of Pokemon
> it's uncompetitive, it can flip matches, grant immunities
>unbalanced, they had to implement open sheets and terablast was banned by smogon 6v6
>it's poorly implemented, as Tera stellar is nearly unusable
>Removes flaws from Pokémon like x4 weakness and grants impossible coverage, pushing busted mons over the edge
>Pointless nerfs like regieleki transistor down to x1.3

Shut the fuck up Sperg

t. Butthurt tranny.
Go and dilate with the rest of Smogon council.
>>
>>59255753
>It looks like shit
>the hats are fucking retarded
These two are the same point, and then looking like shit is due to SV being broken glitchfest ans game freak being lazy shlomos when it comes to graphics. That has nothing to do with Tera itself
>no unique forms aside two shill DLC mons
Who cares
>It goes against clicking super effective moves, a defining staple of Pokemon
That defining stable is babyish and needed a shake up
> it's uncompetitive, it can flip matches, grant immunities
Get gud
>unbalanced, they had to implement open sheets
They didn’t HAVE to do shit
>and terablast was banned by smogon 6v6
The shillmon m*gas and all of D*namax had to be banned
>it's poorly implemented, as Tera stellar is nearly unusable
M*gas were implemented worse
>Removes flaws from Pokémon like x4 weakness
M*gas removes flaws from shillmons and d*namax makes everything broken
>grants impossible coverage,
Calm your tits, It’s just hidden power that only one Pokemon on your team can use
>pushing busted mons over the edge
They were already busted, the problem went Tera
>Pointless nerfs like regieleki transistor down to x1.3
Cry more, diddums
>>
>>59255753
>Removes flaws from Pokémon like x4 weakness
You're the kind of dipshit to argue that a slow Pokemon having a shit typing is a good thing.
>>
>>59255493
It's definitely the best mechanically, but unfortunately it's the worst visually.

t.goyslop consoomer troonshill who would buy every lazy incomplete nu-Pokémon game at $150 and defend GF with their lives
>>
>>59255493
100% agree.

Even the Gym Leaders/Elite four sometimes use it pretty creatively.
>>
daily bait thread
>>
>>59256118
You're in the minority.
>>
>>59255493
Never used it because you have to visit a Pokemon center between uses
>>
>>59255753
You just listed like three cons and reworded and repeated them multiple times, and one of them is completely subjective(it looks like shit/retarded).
>>
>>59256126
It's interesting in competitive. Just like how for singleplayer you didn't sweat over breeding a pokemon with the perfect 70 power Hidden Power of whatever type you wanted for coverage
>>
Mechanically, Tera was the best by a country mile, but it was also by far the stupidest looking gimmick they introduced. Tera looks utterly retarded, there's absolutely no hype in
>Pokemon gains a stupid ass hat
Mechanically, the list goes
Tera > Mega > Z-Move > Dyna
Aesthetically, the list goes
Mega > Dyna > Z-Move > Tera

When they bring tera back I hope they reskin it so it doesn't look like fucking shit.

>Even the Gym Leaders/Elite four sometimes use it pretty creatively.
>Last mon on their team of a different type evolves into their theme type instead of the other way around defeating the whole purpose of it
Sure bro
>>
>>59256196
>Iono giving it to mismagius to get a mon with levitate
>Brassius giving it to sudowoodo to turn wood hammer into a stab move.
Rest is much lazier. But still.
>>
>>59255493
Too bad the hats look like shit. Could just crystallized/given a type colored aura.
>>
>>59256164
Good taste and good analysis
>>
megas are the worst aesthetically
>>
>>59256284
Some are sick. Most are not.
Like, Mega Blaziken. Fucking awesome.

t. forever alone granny
go stab your blind eyes with a kichen knife along with the other cultists.
