Yet people hate him Despair

#

I think his main problem is that he is a lil stiff

inland jewel
#

But yeah, after Kalos he just doesn't show up in a regional dex

#

though with Legends ZA we could see him again

#

it just depends on which species imigrated to the region and which species emigrated out

rancid nymph

Come to think of it, is Watchog even on the switch

We should have a Ground type watchog regional being a Meerkat

I feel your pain. Poochyena & Mightyena are the last two Pokemon I want for the game. Been championing for them for a while now. Hopefully they'll make the cut next time they start adding more new ones.

you have to have done lake of rage and then Mt. Silver in that order

any recommended thing to do in ss anne? gifted pokemon, items, etc

If u guys could guess, when would mudsdale get added to the game?

i see a good argument for next year tbh, it's a pretty fun mon i think

but if i had to guess realistically, maybe 2026-27

i think i'd have fun spriting it

Solid design, Stamina access... Yeah I can see Mudsdale having a strong argument for being added sooner rather than later

carmine iris

thanks for opinions

It’s weird that there’s only like 3 or 4 horse Pokémon in the game. And one of them start as a donkey.

#

There are more inanimate Pokémon than there are horses.

brittle crow
#

Change perspective

#

Change horse to big four legged animal

#

Which is essentially what a horse is and suddenly you have a lot of mons that fit the bill

#

Dogs, bulls, etc

stoic canopy
#

I mean, we play as a 10 year old in most of these games. Most things will be a big 4 legged animal to our character…although, if a Pokémon game let me ride a houndoom everywhere then it may be the greatest Pokémon game of all time.

I did know that. I was counting both forms of ponyta, mudsdale, and that horse mr. Big brain mounts.

Ou god Furfrou, would there be sprites for all of it's trims or just the shaggy 1?

tacit saddle

itd probably be like rotom

where the alternate appearances are just fusions

Since the diff forms of Furfrou are just cosmetic

We're better gonna get used to shaggy untrimmed wet Furfrou

Which is all the same for me I love wet untrimmed Furfrou

Fur coat would be so fun to work with. I wonder how long it would last on the Showdown server before it got banned

acoustic compass
#

It depends on if players figure out what to fuse Furfru with, but still I expect Furcoat as an ability to not last long.

At least with Fluffy your have to have a fire weakness witch can be more harmful than helpful depending on what Beware is fused with.

vague lodge
#

So, what new Pokémon are coming out soon?

full bison
vague lodge
#

Also, why will there be no Pokemon after gen 7?

full bison
#

1: only a handful of them are available in the beta, the rest are not in the game yet
2: Frog doesn't have easy access to the coding of Gen 8+ Pokemon, and would have to add them all far more manually. This would take way more time, and also be more prone to glitches.

#

Also if you have downloaded a version of the game that does have those, you may have downloaded a virus, seeing how you don't have the Beta tester role

acoustic compass
#

In other words it technically not impossible, but since Frog is a 1 man team don't count on it.

At least not anytime soon.

full bison
#

Also, there's like 300 Pokemon pre-gen 8 waiting to be added, so there's no shortage of options without 8-9 available

opaque flare
#

best chance is when all pokemon until gen7 bare added
which is estimated in around 9-10 years

tacit saddle
#

ill be in my 20s by then ehehe

I do believe that there are some Gen 8 & 9 mons, the ones without unique moves & unique abilities that could be added into IF without requiring too much time to program ,at least in theory I'm no programmer.

while I'll be happy with whatever gets added at one point it won't be to vote for the favorite but to vote for the less bad option

trail hull

#

I do think all gen1-7 mons should be added before the new mons tho

fathom ridge
inland jewel
#

the only gen 8-9 mons i'd want in before all of gen 3-7 is Espathra or Copperajah

#

maybe Hatterene but other than that gens 8-9 were pretty mid

trail hull
#

What I really want before all of gen 3-7 is the new cross-gen evolutions

hot otter
#

dive

inland jewel
#

they would be neat, but until Frogman decides if he want to do the work to put them in, we'll have to wait

#

since iirc, all the cross-gen evos requires certain items and moves

#

all of which he has to code in manually

#

not to mention their unique abillities which he also has to manually code as well

#

its much easier to do the gens 3-7 missing mon since EVERYTHING he needs for them is already in the game

trail hull
#

there was guy who was able to do all of that but frog apparently refused

inland jewel
#

he just needs to put them in a location and viola

#

his game, so he can decides if he wants that or not

#

doesn't help he hates gens 8-9 too

fathom ridge
#

Kingambit had a very weird evolution method also

inland jewel
#

that too, where can you reliably defeat 5 bisharps?

#

in PIF

fathom ridge
#

I wish we could get smoliv it also brings a tree Mon that isnt spooky

#

Revavroon could also be very cool as a head, and garganacl

inland jewel
#

we can wish all we want, but since he rejected the guy to code in gens 8-9 we'll have ot see what he has in store for us

#

nother thing to note is that updating games to get to the latest generation of mon is always a hassle,

fathom ridge
#

Eh I think we won’t ever get them but hey i can only hope

inland jewel
#

i remember abandoning 3 projects because a new pokemon gen came out so i scrapped whta i had and started over

inland jewel
fathom ridge
#

I wonder if we will ever get PIF 2 in like 20 years or something

inland jewel
trail hull
#

tho it would be great if we had an other game with the pif library

fathom ridge
#

I wonder if we could have a public library of sprites for fangames to use, the sprites in game right couldnt be used in a hypothetical sequel bc the spriter agreement is only for PIF

inland jewel
#

the thing that is stopping that is that spriters agreement only applies to PIF

#

any sequel made by others would have to have someoen hunt down all the artists and ask for perms

#

or just start fresh with sprites

trail hull
#

turn it into a fangame franchise and problem solved heehee

fathom ridge
#

I think it would be cool to have a second gallery of sprites for fangames, we could just ask spriters in a bot channel if they are ok with that, although that only solves the problem for active spriters

Yeah that perspective is better for this game i think

#

And its good that gen 8 and 9 is kept out of the game for the time being, and my two favourite pokemon are from gen 8

prime dust
#

also have to remember that the game went over 2 years with no new mons being added due to how fusions were handled

#

the fact that since 6.0 we've gone from 420 to being 501 next update is wild

Hope that means 582 update after that

It is a peak design pokemon

#

Mainly Gigalith tho, I like it more

#

LET'S FUCKING GO GIGALITH MENTION

full bison
#

Gigalith would be cool

#

Mono Rock type with Sand Stream, so it won't be pulling a Ttar conundrum where you'd have to choose between the Rock type or superior physical stats

#

And just plain looks cool

clear lichen
#

Screw the stats and all that shit Gigalith isn't really a competitive staple anyways, Gigalith looks cool and fires mountain destroying solar beams

tacit saddle
#

gigalith would be peak

clear lichen
#

... If it has 60 SpA and blows up mountains with its Solar Beams...

#

... What would a Solar Beam from something like Skymin look like?

full bison
#

Funny thing is, if Gigalith was added, it would be one of the only Rock types in IF to actually get Power Gem. It's mostly distributed to random Pokemon that happen to have gem-adjacent things on their bodies. But not Aurorus for some reason.

weak trellis
#

I forget if power gem has always had more non-STAB users or if gen 7-9 changed that

#

I remember Mystic Fire had more non-stab users before the DLC in gen 8 lol

full bison
#

There's a decent amount of STAB users of Power Gem before Gen 8. It's just that most of them aren't in the game yet

clear lichen
#

(Why does Gamefreak hate it so much, it didn't even get Aurora Veil until a later gen)

full bison
#

Carbink and Diancie would mean we have a total of 5 Power Gem STAB users, the other three being Nosepass, Probopass, and Corsola

clear lichen
#

(Its species name is fucking AURORus)

full bison
clear lichen
#

Not to diss Aurorus since this it is a good number, but Gogoat has the same HP as Aurorus iirc

#

Fun fact: Aurorus doesn't get Aurora Veil in every generation except for 8

full bison
clear lichen
#

Because that was when it first got Aurora Veil and then it never got into Gen 9

#

"Aurorus" my ass

full bison
#

Unless the types get reversed, which they should be

#

I don't care if the other fossils are all primary Rock, it makes way more sense for Aurorus to be Primary Ice

clear lichen
#

Imagine if Aurorus got Aurora Veil

#

That'd be so cool wouldn't it?

#

Well it does but one gen too late

#

Hey ykw if they give FUCKING SPORE TO WHIMSICOTT LMFAO

#

Surely they give Aurora Veil to Aurorus right?

full bison
#

Just like how Oricorio doesn't have Quiver Dance, but Aggron does.

quaint matrix
#

Fun fact: Omanyte used to be Water/Rock in its typing in old IF versions

#

And then it gets reverted to Rock/Water back

clear lichen
#

Like not only is Whimsicott fast enough to run Spore without Prankster for shit like Dark/Steel types

#

Or Dark/Poison

#

But you only would do that for like those few types

#

Because Fairy is SE against Dark

#

Guess who's a Fairy type?

#

Dark/Fire as well btw

#

I didn't mention that since I associate Steel and Poison more with defence

#

That said Fire is kinda ridiculous defensively

#

6 resists and they're actually good ones

#

Ignore your 3 weaknesses being crippling as shit

quaint matrix
#

I say its still a win to be able to be really defensively good even if your three weaknesses haunts you

quaint matrix
#

It's a bit of a Steel-lite in a way

#

Yeah exactly

#

Steel still rocks the meta even if its weak to three of the most common types ever

clear lichen
#

It's a bit more questionable if one of the types is a quad Rock weakness like Bug/Fire

#

But I mean those resistances though

quaint matrix
#

Dual-type Fire carries some risks yeah but it is what it is lol

clear lichen
#

I'm sure HDB got my back

quaint matrix
#

Just like if you're a type dual-typing with Ice you're getting fucked defensively no matter what

clear lichen
#

dies because is playing IF

#

Unironically though I think HDB turned some previously less revered types like Fire/Flying and Fire/Bug into godsends

#

Well not quite godsends

#

But a shitload better

#

Some of the mons with those types didn't really need it tbf, think Volcarona and Ho-Oh, 2 excellent mons for their respective high tiers

full bison
#

If Mighty Cleave got better distribution, Volc would probably start sweating a bit

clear lichen
#

Simply play around it fr

#

It had to do so for Stealth Rocks in the pre HDB era I'm sure it can do it here too

#

Surely

quaint matrix
full bison
#

Rock really is experiencing a similar level of BS that Phys Electric types are, huh

#

Stuck with awful STAB moves while all the good ones are signatures

#

At least the Rock moves don't kill the users, but missing arguably screws you over harder

stoic canopy
#

I’d take a double edge like move for rock any day. Rock tends to have the defense to live through the return fire.

full bison
clear lichen
#

30 Power is a lot of power though

#

Think about how many damage thresholds you pass with that

#

It's not quite something like Dire Claw vs Gunk Shot

#

But Dire Claw has massive hax

#

So ykw comparable enough

#

That said, 80 BP can be quite disappointing

#

And 120 BP definitely isn't

weak trellis

anything with less than 100% accuracy had better really justify itself or have some way to make up for it like compoundeyes or stomping tantrum

Play Rough being aggressively mid is not justified by being the only option

I cant tell if Spirit Break is as mid or somehow worse

But you sure as hell are not catching Iron Valiant using Spirit Break at least

#

Or Moonblast/Shadow Ball

#

Not an impressive showing

#

Well the lack of good STAB moves I mean

#

Not as in the performance of the mon itself

quaint matrix
#

So insane that Play Rough is still the only Physical option three gens in

#

Even Moonblast at least got a sorta-kinda lite replacement with Dazzling Gleam or whatever

full bison
weak trellis
#

oh I misread that lol

#

I read that as "less ice types in the current gens than there were in gens 1-2"

#

since I know that was true with poison where it took until gen 8 or 9 for every other gen to collectively catch up to how many poison types gen 1 had

clear lichen
#

I'm pretty sure there would be more ice types from recent gens too

#

Though maybe that's just because Gamefreak stopped making slow defensive ice types do that the ice types weren't just inoptimal as hell

#

Correction, Gamefreak stopped making ONLY slow defensive ice types

weak trellis
#

yea since at their core every ice type basically wants deoxys-A's stat spread in terms of the role it has on the battlefield

#

with weavile coming the closest to actually accomplishing it

#

while GF sees shuckle or, well, glastrier as The Peak Ice Type in terms of the type's build which is yea

clear lichen
#

3 fucking banned Ice types
"Holy shit"

  • Comp Players probably
weak trellis
#

that or making ice types defensive through gimmicks without the one thing that actually makes them defensive: resistances

clear lichen
#

In one gen to clarify

#

They already started leaning into broken offensive ice types last gen at least somewhat

#

With G-Darm

#

Then we got He whose name must not be abbreviated, Delibird but it woke up on the wrong side of the time machine and the most broken Pseudo Legendary excluding like Mega Mence I guess

#

Also Mega Metagross I feel

#

But I'm not even 100% certain on that

#

So don't quote me

#

Imagine telling a Gen 4 competitive player that Garchomp would be too weak for OU but there's 3 non-legendary Ice types in Ubers

What tier would glastrier be with steel type

hexed agate
#

if you're talking as a fusion, mach punch tier clueless

ember bear
#

i don't think you would even need mach punch, just outspeed

hexed agate
#

true, but saying something gets machpunch diffed just has a ring to it

#

also just found out that Hitmontop and Ferrothorn have the same atk stat

hexed agate
#

probably stay where it is in PU, or stop being used

#

ice really hinders it

#

if you meant it dropping its ice type, probs RU/NU

#

depending on what type is dominating RU atm

full bison
#

Yeah, Glastrier doesn't really have a lot that it can actually do once it tanks. It has no recovery and not the best support moveset

#

If you wanna see an Ice type that would become a defensive behemoth if it became Steel type, look at Avalugg

#

Rapid Spin and Recover would make it a reliable hazard removal option, and it even carries Crunch to potentially scare away Ghold's spinblocking (although it absolutely would not be able to eat a Make it Rain)

carmine iris
#

I have a lot of experience using glastrier

#

It essentially turns the match into a 5 vs 5 instead of 6 v 6

#

Slow speed stat with arguably the #1 bulky offensive stats elsewhere with no healing moves allows it to 2hko everything

#

But with no heal moves all sorts of shit outspeeds it and kills it after glastrier gets down to 30% health against an opponent it killed since it checks literally everything, but is only good in a 1v1 because of all that

carmine iris
#

I wouldve guessed UU or smth

#

Since melmetal is essentially steel glastrier afaik

#

And melmetal is in uu (i think)

clear lichen
#

Melmetal is like what, UUBL on Gen 8 or something? Or was it Gen 8 NatDex? It's mostly OU placements though

#

It was banned to Ubers in Gen 9 NatDex until recently

#

Thing is, Melmetal has a 120 BP STAB move boosted (not by much though lmao) by Iron Fist

carmine iris
#

Oh yea true

clear lichen
#

The best Glastrier's got is 85 with a chance to miss

#

Funnily enough they both are stated to have a 30% flinch rate

#

Except DiB is 60 BP and hits twice

#

So it's closer to 50%

#

Not quite 60% because that's simply how math works in situations like this

#

I feel like I usually wouldn't state this but I've had people correcting me it has a 60% flinch rate

carmine iris
#

Tbf glastrier could run avalanche, where if the user takes damage first the base power goes from 60 to 120

#

But still

#

Melmetal > hypothetical steel type glastrier. :(

clear lichen
#

Avalanche is sad because when the wall clicks Recover you can't do shit

carmine iris
#

Yeaaa

clear lichen
#

The slow bulky lifestyle simply isn't for the Ice type

#

Just go "fuck it we ball" and kill everything before it kills you

carmine iris
#

Shouldve made glastrier have spectriers stat except physical

#

And like

#

Most other ice types whose stats cant easily be assumed by their designs

all offense all speed no defense

I love how the best option available to defensive Ice types is to stop being Ice type. And then there's Regieleki like "this is how you use the Ice type, you idiots."

"I don't see why not?"
"thanks! switches to something very not ice typed next turn*

but generally catch the first two pokemon on a route, fuse them

#

Bonus mons can be subbed into a route fusion

#

My personal rule is that if you have any two unfused mons in your box at any time you fuse them

#

For example, you start by getting a starter, two route 1 mons, and the pyukumuku

#

Since I always have those four mons I always fuse them in whatever combo I want

If you play on randomized mode you can just make it so that you always find wild Pokémon that are already fused
