:eek: Getting out of Gen V could not have happened ANY FASTER.
Here’s to hoping that this hopelessly tragic generation is behind us for all eternity.
What’s to say this gen won’t be worse? And why is the previous gen bad? Care to answer both of these questions in an eloquent post?
As long as the female protag is just as hotter/cuter than B&W2’s then I’m sold. 
On second thought I MAY consider a purchase if they take the critical hits out of the game.
That shit so dumb and people lose matches over it.
Go back to your first thought then, that’s not happening. Just like we’re not losing Flinching and Freezing and Confusion.
woah? already? ok well I missed completely gen 5 (first time I ever miss a gen…RIP my DS) man I like the Frog and fox/wolf? but overall, I don’t know how much more I can keep up with the metagame now. there’s sooo many flaws they made that should have been fixed in Gen 4. the power level is really overkill now. it’s like they want to be like Capcom and rather than balance things, they keep buffing what’s good and shit on what they hate, going the DBZ route and making power levels higher and retarded.
will types ever get a real sense of balance? naw…let’s keep buffing water types, shit on poison/grass more and keep promoting 3v3 lvl 50 in our nintendo tournaments that promote rushdown style with no sense of real rules while the alternative is to keep dickriding smogon and their faggot ideals that no one should ever dare to question because we haven’t been masturbating to their shit since day one.
now on the positive, Graphics for these games have come a long way now. looks like how I wanted a pkmn game to look on a portable now. will rant more later once new info comes out. Ephidel and Specs made much of what I wanted to say already.
It’s been said but I’m just going to say, you’re a fucking idiot
Heavy Power increase and dream world abilities… many Pokemon were made obsolete this generation…
Generation V and Pokemon with broken dream world abilities is what I’m stuck playing lately…
Overpowered staples from previous generations are still playable…
This sucks away creativity in competitive battling imo… they need to give stuff from previous gens stat boosts after awhile if they keep going in this power creep direction…
Dragon is fine with its weaknesses, what needs to be revisited/fixed are its resistances. Only steel resists Dragon, which is kinda dumb. Most of the dragons have a Fire attack, so after one prediction(?) you can start spamming Draco Meteors or Outrages all day long. I personally think Rock or Ice should resist it as well. Making Ice resistant to Dragon will also kinda balance how shitty Ice typing is (4 weaknesses and 1 resist).
Also, make fucking Defog get rid of ALL goddamn hazards at the same time. Why, seriously, WHY would you create a move that gets rid of your fucking opponent’s hazards??? If they don’t want it to make Rapid Spin obsolete, I could see getting rid of all hazards like a fair trade. That would give some flexibility and not having tiers entirely dominated by hazard battles (Uber, UU)
The grass starter looks SO stupid.
Game looks intresting.
paging White Shadow for his look on this.
Finally! Been waiting for a real 3d pokemon game forever. Time to go buy an xl
3DS -> 3 dimensions -> X and Y are dimensions on the Cartesian plane
:lol:
Around 650 ish as of the current gen. “Gotta catch em all” was abandoned as a slogan for a reason.
Pokemon Z already confirmed.
When will they roll out the new cute female lead? That’s all Pokemon is good for now
IMO b/w2 was the bad call not this. This looks amazing, and it’s been long enough since black/white came out. Also most of the balancing ideas in this thread are terrible. While I won’t say balancing out the types couldn’t make the game better, trying to force similar numbers of weaknesses/super effectives is dumbing down the system quite a lot, the types are at least vaguely balanced around the utility/power of their moves, and the pokemon that exist are mostly balanced around their weaknesses etc… already.
Could they redo the balancing on types and such. Absolutely. Does it need to be homogenized so everything has an even amount of strengths/weaknesses, absolutely not.
Same thing with base stats, pokemon are mostly balanced around their base stats by type and move pool, no reason to homogenize that. Again could some work be done there on some crazy outliers, but for the most part I feel like that stuff is already taken into account.
I will say F stealth rocks.
Taken into account by making some pokemon hit like legends? I’m not talking about setups like Quiver Dance or Shell Smash, I’m talking about slapping a Choice Band on Haxours and Outrage away. That’s 800+ ATK, STAB coming off 97 spd (kinda lousy, but ok), and nothing to resist but steel. Pretty much seals the game if not revenge killed or outspead.
Excadrill–SD, GDLK speed in SS, good resistances, STAB EQ, silly stuff. Outspeeds Scarfers too, just wow.
Thundurus Prankster, what account was taken there? Priority Thunder Wave on a pokemon like that is silly.
Maybe I’m just jelly because they have been screwing Flareon since forever. And, this GEN will be no different.
Lol Flareon. The red-headed stepchild of the Eevee evolutions.
Pun intended.
Yeah man, if anybody needed drought it was Flareon. But, some dickhead at GF was like “nah probably Ninetails” and there you go.
At least someone was smart enough to stop shadow tag Chandelure from being released.
Flareon. Gamefreak Pls…
Oh the horror shadow tag Chandelure would have been. Dual STAB + Choice Scarf/ Choice Specs = Revenge kill everything that isn’t a water type or Hydreigon.
I would love to hate Gen 6 more than I already do but alas there’s nothing left to mention.
