and mixing records with a japanese ruby save file while using a japanese emerald save file as a middleman so i could get the regi plushies
and saying a bunch of gibberish to a random npc in rustboro to make a child laugh since you were supposed to say sentences that showed up on a japanese blog post
and then i played throught the game cube games because i wanted the mythicals and a moltres with will o wisp because i wanted to breed an ADV OU team from scratch
real shame that my phone got stolen so i ended up losing my save file 
still want to do it all over again, but i need to get caught up with some other stuff first
gen 3 just hits this weird sweet spot for a sense of nostalgia for me even thought it was my third pokemon game

It evolves from Stantler after using Psyshield Bash in the agile style at least 20 times.

What
warm sky

so stantler gained a signature move, physical psychic, raises defense as a bonus. PLA's gimmick is having styles to choose from and rather than normal turn based, you have like a speed based order, speed style makes it so it's possible you may move multiple times in a row, but at the cost of the move's power and strong style slows you down but gives you more power

in terms of really bad stuff, there seem to be mixed reports, with some people claiming them and others saying they're not having them

nothing gamebreaking on my end but the performance is aaassssss
so much shit moving at 4 frames a second or lag when doing sharp turns while moving fast e.g.

if it functioned as an actual cap, that'd be great
but it'd be even better if they had done actual level scaling to go alongside it
if the cap functions as rui and rasputin say, it's still okay but not as good imo
the issue is that when you're designing level-based content, it becomes a thing where you need to consider that someone can simply grind way above the level for that content and just nuke it
or in the case of sv, simply alter the order they tackle certain content so they can do certain things overleveled
but pokemon's design philosophy would probably prevent them from implementing a true level cap/scaling combination
these games are meant to be enjoyable by anyone, including (and especially) young kids
a more competitive design philosophy that i might enjoy more, may not be as enjoyable for that demographic
similarly, having a mon you caught and were able to use properly, suddenly disobey you out of the blue because you overleveled it, might be something that could negatively affect certain players' experiences
as for scaling, some players simply like being able to nuke content with higher level things
it's not my preferred way of playing, but some people do it

The thing about pokemon having these bugs is that the games are not very progressive to begin with, and SwSh, BDSP, and SV have reason to argue as regressive overall
warm sky
Mind you, I do agree from what I've seen that
SV's formula
is probably some of the most fun for the 3d era
But the performance issues and bugs are inexcusable
vagrant steppe
thought the same thing 2 days ago lmao
Wanna know the biggest thing that's gonna be different tho? Cyberpunk actually fixed a lot of the bugs. And the game is $30 now
warm sky
It has strength, but unless GF fixes the fact the frame rates KILL themselves
and other such major issues
I ain't even touching the game pirated

SV’s formula is great in concept but that is now the only thing new that feels progressive
And it can still be executed a lot, lot cleaner and more user friendly
vagrant steppe
I mean hell, BoTW came out on the same console 6 years ago
I know comparing most games to BoTW is a bad comparison, but SV directly asks to be compared to it
BoTW also took like 10 years to develop tho
And yeah, I'm on the same page about the formula for SV
There's a lot of dumb decisions, but the general gameplay idea is great

Lmfao because I can agree with the negatives of this game, but you can only say negative shit? Please miss me with that shit and mute me if you don’t like it
There’s criticizing then there’s actual just negative Nancy behavior
vagrant steppe
Yeah PLA took a lot of steps forward and (wasn't buggy or ran like shit)
SV comparatively adds very little and removes a decent chunk
SV is the best step for a modern pokemon game, but it's just really not there at all
vagrant steppe

This too
If you're breeding comp or for a shiny and you hatch a random mon you don't want, you've just wasted some time
I think there are positives to SV, but I think the current negatives outweigh it tbh
sharp kernel
PLA was also a single player game. Where you don’t have to care about QoL features that affect the game at large.
The breeding I agree with you the random mon shit sucks
But in return we can afk and get multiple eggs from one breeding session
vagrant steppe
SV is also largely a single player game
sharp kernel
That’s way more time efficient than having to check up on the day care every so steps
vagrant steppe
Sure you can do stuff in the world together, but it's not really fully multiplayer
sharp kernel
Yes, but what I’m saying is PLA didn’t have to make decisions based on a game that is mostly played multiplayer.
All their decisions were experimental to see what sticks, what doesn’t, what’s actually able to be carried over
vagrant steppe
Yeah but technically SV didn't have to do that either
The multiplayer really isn't a big enough draw to make the decision to do all the weird shit like cutting basically every interior from the game
sharp kernel
They did though? The entire bitching behind Gen 8 was that “it’s just another Pokémon game”.
vagrant steppe
The issue with gen 8 wasn't that people couldn't play it multiplayer. That's what raids and stuff were for
The issue was that gen 8 didn't really try anything new on their new hardware, cut features, and dumbed down everything else
If gen 8 was exactly the same as currently but had SV multiplayer the complaints wouldn't change
sharp kernel
This actually feels fresh. If they ever fix the optimization issues, I’d argue the game would be really good. But the decisions they made this gen to address all the complaints of last Gen are a step forward
last musk
I think on this note I'm gonna run down my positives and negatives for the game:
Major positives:
The open world exploration is very nice
The characters in this are the best they've been since like gen 4-5
Some of the new designs have worked their way into my favourites
Some battles are actually challenging
Terra types are a cool concept
Positives:
The gimmigoul hunt is well rewarding and keeps you engaged, but it's hard to keep track of towers you've found before
The TM system is nice, but a bit too grindy
Some of the leaders and elite four members are either funny or have their charms, but others are just a gimmick on a stick
Negatives:
The Pokémon in this gen are laughably unbalanced, like there is some stupid moves abilities and stat spread in this, to the point were they've had to nerf a Mon in the day one patch and they're still nuts
The towns are boring and you can't go into any of the houses, and it's hard to tell what the shops actually sell sometimes
The day night cycle takes too long to rotate
Major negatives:
The performance of this game is inexcusable
The open world "do what you want" style doesn't work because you're funneled into the dev intended order unless you grind to break it or abuse AI or broken mons
The champion in this game is a fucking joke to the point where the second elite four member felt more like the champion battle
sharp kernel
People complained about the tutorial last game? They fixed that. People wanted more accessibility for comp play? They optimized that even further this game. People wanted a more open world feel? This achieved that.
Oh also people wanted an actual story? You got the best story since BW
vagrant steppe
It's also still worth noting that you can't actually do things in any order
Because stuff doesnt scale and you've gotta get the badges in order so your team doesn't stop following orders
last musk
Second point isn't true pope
Pokémon will follow your orders so long as you caught them before the level cap
No matter what level they end up as
sharp kernel
Yeah I posted that earlier
vagrant steppe
But not as bad
It shouldn't have been the case at all, or they should have capped levels if they wanted that tho
I dunno, I'm sure if they fix the performance issues the games feel good because the core gameplay is always good
vagrant steppe
But even ignoring them, there seems to be a ton of rushed stuff and the games seem like they needed another year or two
sharp kernel
There’s also 1 section of the game that does have level scaling funnily enough
sharp kernel
It’s an end game section, and the Pokémon will always be the level of your highest party member
vagrant steppe
Then why not do that for every gym
sharp kernel
It’s not a gym that’s why, it’s just the open world
last musk
It’s an end game section, and the Pokémon will always be the level of your highe...

sleek sky
vagrant steppe
I'd like Cyclizar to go too
vagrant steppe
They'd change the ban based on home
The idea is houndstone doesn't have any other viable sets so a move ban would effectively be the same thing
kind vortex
flutter mane quick banned
predictable, inevitable, etc
houndstone quick banned
still think it should have been last respects, it's the only thing making houndstone broken and the move will have distribution elsewhere, so just kill the move and save yourself the trouble later
i also like how someone saw flutter mane before release and thought it was bad or something : ^)
vagrant steppe
Doesn't this limit its usage in other formats though?
Yeah, unfortunately
kind vortex
Right now, Houndstone is the only legal Pokemon with Last Respects. You cannot alienate a singular move as being banworthy if only a single Pokemon learns it; the necessary burden of proof for banning a move would be it directly causing multiple Pokemon to be banworthy.
yes you can, you just don't want to
this is just an excuse for the ou council to wear blinders, or otherwise not apply critical thinking, and just hit a mon instead
last musk
They don't want to deal with houndstone if it otherwise proves troublesome elsewhere
Not that I can see how
kind vortex
if it did manage to prove itself troublesome with its average kit aside from last respects, then they could consider hitting the mon as well
but i can assure you it wouldn't
but let's be real here, it's being hit because of last respects
so hit the move
esp as we know it'll get wider distribution later, on a better mon
last musk
This shit unironically reminds me of Nappa from abridged "ban the Mon" "are you sure that's wise?" "Look either ban the Mon or we have to cancel your 6 o'clock"
kind vortex
the guy masks it behind rigorous-sounding language like 'the burden of proof is that it'd cause multiple mons to be banworthy', but that's just an excuse when it's known it'll be given wider distribution later
long stone
i disagree on the bugs being charming
well nothing digital is bugless but these are kinda alot
kind vortex
you save yourself the headache later by nipping it in the bud now
outer eagle
that was fast
kind vortex
as time's gone on i've kinda soured a bit on the whole philosophy of bans and whatnot, but by their own standards, yeah, it had to go
thing's way too good
vagrant steppe
I mean, ideally mons would get readjusted as opposed to bans
But that's on gamefreak and they don't give a shit
sand forge
well nothing digital is bugless but these are kinda alot
I feel that some of the bugs/issues are ones that were solved decades ago
And really have no reason to be in the game
vagrant steppe
They are, but gamefreak doesn't learn from the industry
Reminder they make their own dated engine every gen instead of using a standard
sand forge
The reason why we never got a Pokémon MMORPG is because nobody at Gamefreak could figure out how
kind vortex
also probably because a big part of their target demographic is little kids, and throwing them into an mmo sounds rife with potential problems : ^)
warm sky
Yeah I will never really agree with smogon's "we want to keep bans simple"
sand forge
Little kids who experienced Gen1 in the 90s :p
vagrant steppe
I don't love Smogon, but they're doing what they can with what they're offered for the most part
vagrant steppe
The last respects thing should have been a move ban tho
vagrant steppe
But the majority of it is that they've gotta ban, because gamefreak won't nerf
It'd be so easy for GF to nerf shit but they don't wanna do that
crimson moat
Wow, they quick banned Houndstone? I agree with Argor, knowing Basculegion is on the way, they should have started with Last Respects
vagrant steppe
Their logic was dumb on that one yeah
"we don't wanna ban a ton of mons when home comes out"
Then ban the move
crimson moat
I agree it was a problem to look at, but yeah don’t agree with their solution
kind vortex
It'd be so easy for GF to nerf shit but they don't wanna do that
to be fair, they've shown a willingness to do nerfs, even (honestly especially) in this gen
scald has no real distribution anymore, for example
crimson moat
Flutter Mane getting quick banned is no surprise
warm sky
way too fucking strong
vagrant steppe
to be fair, they've shown a willingness to do nerfs, even (honestly especially) ...
Yeah true, maybe they'll move more towards nerfs
But they also leave a lot of the overbearing mons alone because they're new
kind vortex
chien-pao is one they're keeping an eye on but presumably they wanted to do bigger fish first
crimson moat
also why isn't chien-pao banned?
I would imagine Chien Pao and Roaring moon are next on the radar
kind vortex
so flutter and hound
crimson moat
Surprisingly Iron Valiant is not nearly as popular on ladder as some of the other big threats
vagrant steppe
They said they wanted to see how the format looks minus the obvious hits first
crimson moat
The only thing people will probably argue in favor of roaring moon staying is unaware.
Which isn’t a good reason to argue
vagrant steppe
It's more of a check than Flutter Mane had, but yeah...
last musk
If anyone wants an example of why fluttermane was banned
crimson moat
Roaring Moon and Chien Pao are next
vagrant steppe
Even better example, Spectrier was Ubers and it has one of the worst movepools ever
crimson moat
Like the meta for Flutter Mane didn’t even fully flesh out and it was still ridiculous
kind vortex
flutter is spectrier but significantly better, yeah

Flutter Mane is like if Spectrier had a solid movepool, ability, and typing

maiden flax
The Pokédex entries for the Paradox Pokemon are so disappointing

Its a theory based on leaks though

Iron Valiant isn’t as fast or offensive statistically as Iron Bundle, but it has mixed sweeper stats and a disgustingly good movepool
