I miss her so much, bros

I miss the nonexistence of the fairy type too.

Sceptilefags can always go back to gen 3 if they miss their beloved Leaf Blade so much (which their shitmon still has ever since the split).
>>
>>59672168
Fairy type wouldn’t have been necessary if nupokemon didn’t add the phys/spec split
>>
>>59672185
Draco Meteor remained special though

>hurr lets get rid of the split so that special type mons with high physical attack can be useless and can't use stabs again
you are retarded

>giving my latios special outrage with no faries
I can't believe GF didn't let this happen. It would have been perfectly balanced.

Uh oh, here comes kojo (lowercase for disrespect) to make a strawman out of Mightyena!
>>
>>59672294
? What’s stopping them from using STABs?

Not even kidding, this is the simple change that was too much for them

"b-but the split made mightyena worse why are you for this????????"
Why is kojo (decapitalized for disrespect) so eager to dish out strawmen and false equivalencies?

if i posted sneasel you would've given some bullshit excuse anyways
there's no reasoning with you faggots, get the fuck off my board

Why? This shit made no sense. Thank God, Gen IV fixed this.
>>
>>59672415
It made perfect sense.
>>
>>59672165
Hitmonchan died for this.
>>
>>59672440
it got the elemental punches for physical coverage you dipshit
>>
>>59672417
I agree, the split did make sense.
>>
>>59672665
No it didn’t
>>
>>59672165
This was completely counter intuitive and it should've been fixed by gen 3.
>ghost, which is commonly depicted as intangible, is physical
>gust, which is depicted as pokemon generating wind, is physical
>fire PUNCH is special
>leaf BLADE is special
>pokemon with both a physical and special type had to be mixed attackers to make use of both STABs
>>

>>59672720
Nobody would actually have a problem with this "not making sense" if they stuck with it to this day. It would just be seen as another game mechanic like learning 4 moves max and type matchups, sure you have people making fun of "Alakazam and caterpie can both only learn four moves lol" and complaining about or questioning type matchups but it's not a serious issue. It's just that the split has been standard for 20 years now and it's how people expect things to be.

Unsurprising.

The Physical/Special split was BRILLIANT and I'm tired of idiot people pretending it wasn't.

The only problem is that some older Pokémon didn't get sensible re-stating. Sceptile should have been rebuilt as a Physical attacker

>>59672165
>Ghost: physical

I don't dig it.

sure, campaignshitter-kun.

Fitting trips since the devil is a great deceiver.

it's a fucking game mechanic
>>
>>59672165
You see this stupid dork?
This thing is entirely at fault for the Physical Special split in gen 4.
They just changed the entire game just for this one stupid Pokémon not to suck.
Then it sucked anyways.
Wow!
Shame upon Absol.

Jarvis check MD5 signature of that pic, all boards.

>>59672165
nowadays every fucking "type" feels the same and every pokemon can learn a million moves.
>80-90 special/physical move with 100% accuracy across the entire roster
>>
>>59673212
>i-it doesn't matter, you chud
If the problem was realism then why is no one crying that water is special? Dumbass.
>>
>>59673226
wow, absol makes spergs go nuts. i love her even more now.

>>59672165
So glad it’s never coming back :3
