I kinda like the randomness tbh, even though I'd like to understand how it's evolution is determined. Maybe an item could be used instead? Those are far more convenient than timed evolutions

Iirc it can also be read as such, so it's basically a pun. Not so surprising really (M-Ampharos) I wonder if BDSP will have connectivity with Legends and/or SwSh. I have my doubts, but I guess we'll see. Also I wonder how much going with thus chibi art style has to do with it being made by a...

I find the chibis odd but somewhat charming? The full size models look like cheap plastic figurines. And as a whole, the game so far looks like a 3D version of D/P and nothing else. Of course, there's plenty of time for them to show otherwise Legends seems like the BotW style game so many...

Or at the very least give it a little more STAB coverage in its general movepool. Something like Fiery Dance, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Extrasensory?

No no, you're thinking about Diamond and Pearl. XY has the plot about genocide. But for real, XY doesn't have a bad premise, but the narrative suffers from several issues

Feel like this thread is a bit Gen I heavy (though I absolutely agree with most). So, I'll just make a quick list of highlights cause I got plenty of ideas. Sunkern - Sunflora (variant) - Sunflara; ok yes Bolt I love that name pun, so I'm stealing it. Sunkern stays as is, a little seedling...

I quite like that but I also feel the speed drop is supposed to tell us something about the species. Iirc this happens with the turtwig line too. I also think it would be reasonable to give it an extra ten BST, it's been done before for others. Since many of its weaknesses are primarily special...

So generally speaking I don't think a Pokémon has to be a typing just cause it could like it should be. Does Stunfisk look like it should or could be a water type? Sure. Does it make sense for Stunfisk to be ground/electric? Absolutely. But I do think there are cases where a change of typing...

That sounds like quitter talk

I hate grinding and the Exp Share is incredibly useful for when you want to rotate team members and/or try a lot of new Pokémon. And with the larger dexes newer games have given us, there's plenty of choice to support this style of gaming. Its existence is not the problem for me. But removing...

I mean, this IS the controversial opinions thread. And those definitely are controversial opinions. That said, I'm curious for the reasoning behind certain points.

Looking at it again I think it's because the artwork looks like sprites? In terms of posing and colours and the balance between details and simplicity. Like, I can basically envision most of these as actual sprites. And Gen 7 and 8 don't have that quality anymore. I like those designs, I think...

Same, especially the weird hairloop that makes it look like she's balding imo. And until now I thought she was wearing some kind of fitted jumpsuit, but looking at it now it's actually a dress??!! In which case it should not do that weird crotch thing... Her cape is cool, her general aesthetic...

Except I don't know if they need all the hardcore fans since those aren't the target audience. There's a reason remakes exists. Well several. But one of which is that it's a good way to renew your fanbase while staying in your target group. Doesn't mean I think GF should or would insult the core...

Strictly speaking yes. But it's more that Gen VII had few and Gen VIII had none in terms of overworld puzzles, which is ultimately what field moves are for
