pretty much the peak of GF continuing to hyper-focus on balancing around their VGC format (4v4 doubles) and doing a dubious job at it while ruining every other possible format, which I feel was started in gen... 5? it didn't really feel like it went into overdrive until gen 7 though

And also, I want to see how it'd do in Gen 9 Ubers

I feel like people really only care about three specific moves being removed:
sweet crypt
Ferrothorn is 3 for 3 in both OU and Ubers
unkempt egret
Pursuit, Hidden power, and to a lesser extent, return (mostly for the 'ate users, though I think most of the non-mega ones are special?)
simple quartz
No it is good that some moves are removed because they're just horrid
Bide, Razor Wind, etc etc
sweet crypt
Pursuit, Hidden power, and to a lesser extent, return (mostly for the 'ate users...
Physical normal types as well
Tauros misses specifically like Rock Climb or something
unkempt egret
since most of the rest of the ones were either turbo specific (synchronoise), purley there for flavor (razor wind), signature moves that lack their mon, or stepping stone moves that are much more relevant in GO than in the main series (karate chop most notably)
simple quartz
But then why remove things like Pursuit or Return at all unless you're thinking they're bad for balance or smth
sweet crypt
Synchronoise and Razor Wind are moves I just do not get
Tbf, they're both older gen moves
unkempt egret
shoutouts to niantic buffing karate chop to be the current fastest fighting move when it's only on like... three pokemon, two of which don't get STAB from it
sweet crypt
You can see that by how underpowered they are
frigid copper
In Gen 10 can the water starter be a half fairy type with a reverse intimidate, healing moves, skill swap, U-turn, calm mind, dazzling gleams, and scald
unkempt egret
I mean synchro is at least 120 base power if you can get it set up right
sweet crypt
Synchronoise isn't *that* old is the thing
How old is it?
unkempt egret
the problem is that you need either a secondary type or you're using it offstab (so at 120 base power) or are hitting a resistance (down to 90 base power)
simple quartz
Razor Wind is old as shit and already outclassed in the Gen it was introduced by Hyper Beam which like yeah
It should be removed
Synchronoise is to me like Octazooka
sweet crypt
Hyper Beam was actually good in Gen 1 which I think is when Razor Wind was introduced
simple quartz
Like they're bad but they're clearly experimental stepping stones
unkempt egret
yea razor wind feels like it was purley for flavor
which is odd considering that it was TM only
simple quartz
...but yknow they never actually got to making what's next in that stepping stone
sweet crypt
Razor Wind feels like they made a Fly clone for Normal type, forgot to add invulnerability and left it there
Just never fixed it
unkempt egret
which means that notably, nothing gets razor wind in gen 2 because the TM isn't there and nothing learns it by level up
so the only way to use it there in a vanilla game is by trading over a mon that knows it
simple quartz
Iirc Razor Wind is a thing back when Bird-type exists?
Like specifically for the Bird type
unkempt egret
...for a two turn move that's 80 base power.
simple quartz
Before eventually it's just subsumed into Flying
unkempt egret
sky attack at least has the charity to be 140 base power
and in gen 1 will probably mulch whatever it hits considering its also a high crit ratio move
provided the opponent didn't swap their rhydon/electric into it like any rational player would do
unkempt egret
or you're playing GO where it and brave bird basically swapped scripts for the first 2-3 years of PGO's life
simple quartz
Wait Brave Bird became Razor Wind in all except the type in GO?
Lmaooooooooooooooooooo
Sidenote it's so funny to me that it took Gen 6 for them to actually remove Steel's resistance to Ghost and Dark
Purely because of Ghost/Steel (Aegislash)
Like huh crazy Psychic was actually really cool being combo'd by Steel but Ghost oh fuck that's actually kinda broken nope nope

The only thing about Gen 10 from the leak is that it’s a mildly tropical place that could have it’s region be an archipelago so like Taiwan… a lot
simple quartz
Either way I'm down for any base really
frigid copper
While I assume gamefreak is prolly gonna go coastal china. If they pull a middle finger and do Taiwan that would be the ultimate power move
Taiwan independence forever
But it’s prolly just coastal china
frigid copper
i.e: Copperajah
Tbf that was only one singular Pokémon line that never actually had much importance :/
simple quartz
True true
But Unova to Kalos predicted because Three Musketeers legendary while cool doesn't necessarily predicate a pattern
The Ultra Beasts don't suddenly mean they represent England because England is a disgusting roach infested land with weird looking people UBs are just weird like that
frigid copper
I think the difference is that the ultra beasts are whole alternate dimension thing
While the swords of Justice are an enigma because they’re very clearly from another region even though it was never stated. They’re a proper group,
And while in the ruinous quartet does mention the region explictly that’s on top of them also again being direct mirrors of the swords

I can’t believe concept art is how we settle the timeline
Basically Calitin in BW is in her mid 20s, and she was 17 in Platinum.
So assuming she is 25, that means BW takes place 7 years after the Sinnoh games.
Then since BW2 are 2 years later she would be 27
SM according to Grimsley art is 2 years after BW2
I just find it funny people have debated the Pokemon timeline for years and now the leaks have more or less solved it

But somehow it took Cyrus directly mentioning the concept of genes and DNA helices for it to dawn on me that yep, those scientific concepts apply here too

Yeah but I've literally heard of it in a video yesterday and didn't make the connection

No eviolite - 49, 47, **, 47, 42, 47, 43, 43, 49, 49 (hit #3 crit)
Eviolite - 29, 29, 28, 28, 32, 29, 33, 31, 31, 28

Honestly this dude was pretty legit in that he is a biology expert with a fascination of the weird and gross. So if something obscure pops up he goes full geek mode and educates you on what makes it so cool

Also he covered the lost gen 1-2 betas from back when those got leaked

Just as an example of “geek mode” we have Turtonator’s 5 star explanation
“Delving magnificently deep into zoology for roughly the dozenth time this generation and checking off another of my "most wanted" animals, Turtonator's tubular snoot, weirdo smile and flattened, jagged edges unmistakably allude to the Amazonian Chelus fimbriata or mata mata turtle, the only living species in its genus, and as you'll learn from this killer footage, an animal that really does lie in ambush for prey to set it off. Gamefreak thought of everything.
(Photo source)...It's also downright incredible how well Turtonator's face manages to capture the spirit and personality of the real thing while technically being complete, totally different. That's some quality design work.”

he also covers all Digimon too

Noooo I see it
The Pokemons are certainly British in regards to the archetypes given to them (dastardly dick thief fox from Suffolk, Miltank-capturing alien seen in Liverpool etc)
Tbh Im with him I don't particularly like a lot of Galarian pokemon
atomic orchid
Literally the following was his stance on Orbeetle and why it got a 3 star compared to the 5 of Blipbug:
“I'm sorry, now they've lost me entirely. I completely understand those who adore how much this Pokemon looks like one of Doctor Eggman's robots or a Mega Man X boss, but I'm just not that big on it. Its bug/psychic typing is reflected by the idea that it's an "orbiting satellite" and what looks like a beetle body really houses its gigantic brain, but if you told me we would get a bug/psychic Pokemon with a huge brain I might have pictured a hundred different things that would have been more exciting to me than Pokemon's second ladybird beetle. There are SO MANY unused insects, including other beetles, that could have occupied this spot! Some would have even allowed for basically the same design, like a tortoise beetle! Look at this one and tell me you're not in love:”
Also that he apparently had a doctor brain bug concept for years but chose a brain-sucking tick seemed to sour his mood further
