>one of my favorites gets a mega
>it's too good that it becomes competitive cancer
Beats being a meowstic or scolipede fan but still, we need a balance between being a mega audino tier mega and being a mega salamence tier mega

they should just stop giving pokemon that are already good mega evos
>>
>>59492340
The point of mega evolution isn’t too buff Pokémon that need it. It’s to make it obvious to NPC’s which pokemon they are suppose to like by giving “important” pokemon super siayan shill forms, of course not all the siayan forms can be the best of the best so some got gimped via strength like Audino or aura loss like skibidigatr weaker than its baby, to make there the true shillmons like the Zard stay on top .

>>59492340
staraptor hasn't been good in ages. A mega wasn't a wrong call but this one was overtuned.

>>59492549
for example, my pal's favorite mon is charizard and even HE is fatigued with how coddled it is by GF
>>
>>59492328
It’s not even that good lmao

>my country isn’t run by pedophiles
Ignorance truly is bliss innit
>>
>>59493081
it's a mega evolution
you only get to use 1 per team
and megas aren't able to use items (megafug is a deliberately overpowered outlier and doesn't count)
of fucking course mega pokemon are supposed to be really strong to compensate for the opportunity cost
>>
>>59492328
Mega salamence is going to shit all over your mega, staraptor is the balance, you just can't see it yet.

>man i wish my favorite pokemon was competitvely viable
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT
Just admit you're a contrarian and click close combat.

>>59493304
She gets OHKO'd by Megamence thobeit
>>
I'm just sad one of my favourites got a mega instead of a regional
yes I do not care about viability
>>
>>59493467
I’m sad my favorite got a shitter mega too because it’s an awful design and the base fucking design ended up being more useful than it still. This company is run by brainlets.
>>
>>59493467
Getting a Mega does not preclude getting a regional in the future, just look at Slowbro, Raichu, etc.

If your favorite is Kanto than it’s not an either or thing (slowbro and raichu prove the rules don applied to Kanto Pokémon)
Though if your favorite isn’t Kanto, I guess you’ll just have to eat shit I guess >>59493472
Game freak is full of complete retards, if Nintendo wasn’t around to wipe their asses Pokémon would have crashed and burned before RB hit the west
>>
>i wish my favorite got a mega!
Said the feraligatr goy

>>59493502
12 out of 13 starter megas (remember the most important pokemon, King CHARIZARD, got 2 so there 13 starter megas despite there only being 12 starters that got megas), were worth the best thing to happen to that Pokémon, still amazing, or at worst a lateral change that makes up for it with the pure aura gain. Every other starter mega either turned that starter into a respected icon or continued its long stream of worship it already got. Toilegatr weaker than its own baby is an anomaly

>>59493525
Couldn't they have chosen another water starter instead of wasting a mega on a humiliation ritual that isn't even competitively strong? I don't give a shit about their autistic rules retconned toiletgatr and choose something else.
>>
>>59493558
There’s no real guarantee whoever else gets it will get a good mega. It took years and years for Blastoise’s mega to become good.

>It took years and years for Blastoise’s mega to become good.
it's still mediocre lol

Mega Blastoise is Uber now, get with the program.

it's really not that cancerous, it's just good. you can wipe it off the board immediately with certain special attackers.

People want their favorites to be good, but not dishonest cancer that everyone ends up hating.

>People want their favorites to be good, but not dishonest cancer
Speak for yourself

>>59493823
Everyone hating a very easy strategy to see coming and play against is not my problem
>>
>>59493887
It's confidential.
>>
>>59493913
That’s part of the problem. Like with Minimize strategies, you can see it coming and you can use accuracy bypassing moves, but that just ruins the fun of the game. You’re not fighting an opponent who acts like a human being, using your wits and planning. You’re fighting a bot player where the winner is determined if you brought the right thing or not.
>>
>>59492328
Staraptor is pretty good, but can be easily countered. You have little to complain
>>
>>59494113
Never had that issue.
>>
>>59492533
You and i clearly have different views on what a shithole is, anon
>>
>>59493091
This, it'd probably be UUBL in SV OU, in doubles it's reliant on teammates helping it with buffs and tailwind, loses a lot of matchups in SV OU, it'd be great against ting-lu, kingambit, samurott h etc but would have to run blaze kick for gholdengo and clef, dondozo, clodsire and skelidirge just sit there and ignore its boosts
>>
>>59494113
bro, your toxic? will-o-wisp? phazing? ghost types? contact punishing abilities? psychic types? electric types? fairy types? thunder wave/stun spore/glare? intimidate users? strength sap?

Skeledirge* (skeleton + dirge)

anon's a falseflagger who's been shitposting about the gen 2 starters btw

stay woke

>>59497221
Won by still being a mediocre pokemon in a meta that constantly assrapes it?
>>
>>59497233
wrong
>>
When you get delphox raped: SKREEEEEE
>>
>>59497243
won by being the in middle ground OP mentioned, having a respectable niche but not being metacancer (which also means minimal fake fans)
>>
>>59497253
>won by being the in middle ground OP mentioned
Well OP is a pussy lol
>>
>>59497256
nah OP has an understandable struggle if you ask me
as someone who refuses to adhere to the meta id much prefer my favorite getting a usable niche to being meta defining
>>
>>59497264
>OP has an understandable struggle
An easily avoidable struggle

if you're tired of your steak being too juicy
order dog food instead (in this case, picking something that was never good in any generation)
>>
>>59497351
>you can solve the problem by having a different favorite
so what you're saying is that if your favorite never had to deal with such a thing in the first place you won. happy to know we agree then
>>
>>59497462
Most people will kill to have the worst thing associated with their favorite being a success
