Game is mostly fun but sorta grindy and that's bullshit
#Pokemon
vagrant steppe
kind vortex
you can reduce grind a bit with some qol things
also iirc the ai in rad red varies a bit; you can't outright cheese it too long bc it will counter you, but at least on lower difficulties, it should function like a better than base games ai, but not one that straight-up cheats you
void herald
it also knows what held items and abilities you have
bleak pine
Yuck, seriously?
vagrant steppe
It's better than almost every other difficulty hack tho
Run and Bun has a whole area where the enemy has one sided screens up
And another where you've gotta play under magma storm
golden lance
Run and bun also deletes your held items if you get hit with knock off
Some items also are only obtainable once per savefile
vagrant steppe
Run and Bun is mega bullshit
vagrant steppe
That's not even her most offensive mon
It's the bisharp
(For context Roxanne is the 3rd gym leader in run and bun, her team is in the 30s)
golden lance
Doesnt every single gym leader mon also have perfect coverage?
vagrant steppe
Pretty much
But yeah people got hung up on the Zygarde
And it's a dumb decision but only a little more powerful than expected
The bisharp is the issue
It also doesn't help that like 1/3rd of the dex is unobtainable in run and bun

I mean, the first three sorta fits, but Entei tho

Yeah

Y'know, given how pointless Hail was beforehand, I'm glad Snowscape was introduced over it.
Feels like there just wasn't much the hail weather could do beforehand
It also made areas in the games with some snowfall incredibly dangerous. Like, seriously, why would gentle snowfall bring in a hailstorm once battle begins
Admittedly, they did fix this in Black/White, in which you can in fact witness some hail falling from time to time in places
spice rivet
There are a lot of bot raids you can join too that give out like 9-10 herba per raid, def worth doing that

Ngl I’m still baffled at how genuinely terrible Eldegoss’s movepool is coverage wise

Honestly this Lance alt- or Lance in General doesn’t have the best play style in Masters imo, the Lillie alt set with this Lance was way better
Evasive hacks, pair with defensive unit makes any team hard to kill lol
outer eagle
I wanna make a joke about it but nah
Why? Dude’s already a joke. 
fading stratus
lance is surprisingly good for a vanilla game champion tbh
outer eagle
The bar isn’t exactly high
In terms of champion i can see him beating out Diantha
And no one else 
Cynthia, Steven, Iris, Leon, Blue all have better, more interesting teams
Hau isn’t a champion
Not sure about the whole N/Alder thing
outer eagle
Idk i feel like Wallace’s team is more difficult to deal with
But maybe that’s cuz i haven’t replayed vanilla Emerald in a while 
fading stratus
i haven't played vanilla games in a while in general
wonder if lance has better team than nemona
outer eagle
3 dnite, 1 gyara, 1 aero. Was that it?
fading stratus
1 charizard
outer eagle
Ofc
fading stratus
nemona's team was Lycanroc, Dudunsparce, Goodra, Orthworm, Pawmot and the starter that's weak against your starter
outer eagle
Lycanroc alone sweeps lmao
fading stratus
we are comparing how good teams are compared to each other tho not how they fare 1v1
outer eagle
In that case movesets have to be considered tho
Cuz the base movesets for the fights are garbage
pseudo goblet
In terms of champion i can see him beating out Diantha
The anime certainly doesn’t agree on that
fading stratus
lycanroc is the hardest mon to beat in this team
of if you fuck up and they get to set with aqua step or torch song ig
but this team is still miles better than geeta
pseudo goblet
Wait Her Lycanroc had stealth rock? Wtf Geeta
pseudo goblet
I forgot she even had a Avalugg
fading stratus
You can make this team a lot better by just swapping mons' position and giving em item
also why doesn't kingambit have sucker punch

@pseudo goblet I got a prediction for|| dokutaro's real name||
||Peachyking, we know it's name starts with peach. Peachy keen is a phrase that means things are going very good fine or excellent. But by making it king he can be the king of all the peaches. Like how the other loyal 3 use words/phrases relating to good things happening HOLD UP DID I JUST SOLVE IT?!||
kind vortex
||would probably expect it to be spelled 'peachiking' if they were keeping with the name scheme, but otherwise, sounds like a reasonable prediction||
vagrant steppe
Playing elite redux and which broken ability do we give our future obstagoon?
Quick Feet seems silly with Guts, and Pickup seems generally useful
The rest of the team feels kinda silly rn too
Azumarill and Zoroua feel broken
But honestly that Gothita reads crazy too
Honestly I like these abilities as a way to buff mons
kind vortex
idk how ability passing works in that game, but something like guts/quick feet/huge power seems like a one way trip to a broken mess of a physical attacker
vagrant steppe
The top ability always goes down the line
So I can choose from quick feet or pickup
And I think guts/quick feet/huge power/scrappy feels insane
Also notable mons for a potential rain team
kind vortex
scrappy feels noticeably less insane on obstagoon specifically bc it also has dark stab
but it can have uses
vagrant steppe
True, but scrappy will be passed on no matter what
It's in the second slot
So it won't hurt it
kind vortex
yeah like if the ai in this game is any decent, it might make use of defensive switches
vagrant steppe
It does
The ai in this game is fairly strong
Think like radred ai with ev training and optimized mons
And their mons get 4 abilities too
Other notable mons I've picked up but haven't used yet
That ponyta feels neat, and the shroomish and tailow feel strong
And Klink is... Interesting
kind vortex
i'm guessing scare is just special intimidate

so it's not any pokemon ?
It's any
seems even ones that fly can be sync'd, so that should give a hint to it not being pika-clones.

Stunfisk had a neato question lately
What moves would you remove from most mons’ movesets
Like, limit distribution
Top answers were U-Turn, Close Combat, Earthquake, Stealth Rock, and Knock Off
void herald
stealth rock for sure
bleak pine
Honestly, this sounds like a super scrub thing to say, but Stealth Rock just has no reason to exist in the state it's in
I would be alright with it, if there were like, a few changes to it that wouldn't make it just a move that's so widespread and can make-or-break the kind of usability mons can have
(Like say, only accounting for if a mon is weak or resistant to it and not by how much, only dealing damage a certain number of times, etc.)
Either that or have several other kinds of moves that work like Stealth Rock
