>The game should force you to save before you fight a legendary, and if you fail, the legendary will be gone when you try to reset. You get ONE shot. You lose, you lose. (And no master balls allowed) Legendaries need to not just be given to you for free in order for owning one to be of any true value.>Poison should not be SE on Water. A creature being "more watery" means the poison will be diluted, and less effective. The Water Type will just flush itself with new water and the poison will be nothing to it. Water heals toxins and impurities, if anything Poison should be weak to Water because it harms the Poison Type to have their toxins cleaned away.>Hail/Snow shouldn't raise Ice Type defenses, it should cut the speed of all non-Ice Types. Wintery weather slows down movement. Defenses are NOT what makes Ice Types shitty, they're supposed to be glass cannons on purpose and no amount of defense buffs are ever going to make them GOOD defensively. Their low speed is the actual problem, and is waaaay more useful for them.>literally nothing is wrong with the Fairy Type, you just think hating the pink girly Type will signal to others that you're manly. you're not a tough guy for being afraid of feminine things, you're just a loser
lol

>>59446085She’s a epsteinite game freak shill who hates balance and doesn’t unstand how vulnerable fish and other aquatic life is to pollution
>>59446090she?
The games are perfectly fine, you just got older and more cynical.
>>59446090every single lifeform on earth is vulnerable to toxins and pollution dipshit
>>59446097cockroaches?
>>59446100Bug spray
>>59446102touchè.
>>59446079Scarlet/Violet were the best 3D mainline games so far. PLA is a close second. Open world is perfect for Pokémon, it's how it was always supposed to be but wasn't possible due to technical limitations. Stuff like tall grass was all just for the sake of abstraction. Pokémon were always meant to be free roaming.
>>59446079Modern QoL features actually hinder the expirence and hms were actually good game design
>>59446137you liked having slaves didn't you? :3
>>59446137Just make it so any Pokemon which COULD learn an HM, can use it, even if they haven't learned it as a move
>>59446146>he wants picrel to be able to move a boulder with strength
>>59446146no, wait, 3 am stupid kicking in, i just got that.
>>59446079I think Hugh is a good rival with some pretty good characterisation
BW doesn't have a good story
>>59446212It's crazy that this is considered a hot take. Everyone who thinks Ghetsis is a good villain needs to be shot.
>>59446079Pokemon games should primarily be focused around catching bug monsters for research documentation like Tajiri envisioned, not some autistic rng battle simulator.
>>59446079you will never be a woman
Is the thread going to start soon
The massive size of the fanbase means every take has enough supporters to not be "hot'
Megas started the trend of stupid gimmicks that made the gameplay worse and the next game is going to do it too
There is literally no good justification for Rock being weak to Water. It's solid fucking stone my guy, why the FUCK would a spray bottle do anything to hurt it? The geological erosion excuse makes sense, but only feasibly works for Hydro Pump/Hydro Cannon, no other Water move would be strong enough to be hurting the Rock Type by being sprayed down. It takes at least years or decades of constantly flowing water to erode rock, or EXTREMELY high-pressure water jets that again is only a good alibi for those 2 specific moves.Grass Type weakness does make sense cuz the Grass Types are accelerating years worth of plant growth instantly. It was a mistake for Rock to be weak to Water. If anything I honestly kinda think there's a case that it should resist Water. Spray a boulder with a hose, watch as literally nothing happens to it (and helps make it more different from Ground).
>>59446550Hot take threads are just poorly disguised ragebait threads let’s be real.
>>59446079forced exp share is objectively good
>>59446146What decides which Pokemon uses it when you need to use it, is it party order or just random, where is the agency that is necessary to connect you to your party members?
>>59446590Loool, I was showing Pokemon to a little kid relative, and he's like, "Why is rock weak to water?", and I just lol'd. Why is Psychic good against Poison? Who tf knows
>>59446659randomly, so it feels more like a combined team effort. and calm down son, we don't need to pretend that having to drag a bibarel everywhere to get around the map is making anybody "more attached to their pokemon".i want to keep HMs cuz yeah, that aspect of your team helping you out is cool. but I'm not going to entertain this idea that having your party member automatically be able to use HMs is COULD learn even if it doesn't literally know them, is somehow less intimate or impactful than the old way. your party member IS still using the needed move and helping you out. no one wants to have their moveslots forcibly taken up by this shit and that doesn't make it less intimate somehow. it's just a better way less obnoxious system this way
>>59446079Bumpy
>>59446097Poison should be a hella strong offensive type now that I think about it>Bug, Fighting, Flying, Grass, Normal, and Water are all just functionally flavors of "animal", and should be vulnerable to poisons>Ground quickly becomes uninhabitable with the right ingredients. "Salt the Earth" and all that>If Fairy is weak to Poison, there's precedent for mythology for finding the "secret weakness", and thus Dragons should be too. Arguably more so because Fairy includes Hags, who are naturals with poisonsThat'd be 9 super effective types. Obviously not the ideal number for balance reasons, but is is weird that Poison is arguably the worst offensive type after Normal, yet narrative should be one of the strongest.
>>59446590YES !also steel should be weak to all elemental types (Fire, Electric, Ice(vice versa)), and Rock should resist them along with water.>>59446699because Psychic was the holy type and Poison was the evil type
>>59447962No, Poison is all about spikes, slime, and soot.Flying and Water types could resist it.Bug types because of their insectoid anatomy they should be very prone to suffocation. Smells, light, cold affect them greatly.There is no reason for grass types to outright be weak to poison. In fact poison is the weapon of plants. Grass types should resist Psychic types.Ground types are Normal types with thick hydes or covered in soil, either way it reduces Poison sting or acid spit range.Normal could be weak to poison but the whole point of the type is not effectiveness but the PSN status.
>>59447962fighting and psychic should be weak to poison bc dizzy
