    SwSh Battle mechanic changes in Sword and Shield

    Most of these ... are actually decent ideas. What does "30% blocking opponent's last move" mean? Like a 30% chance to activate protect as a secondary effect of the move? 30% damage reduction for the rest of the turn? Because the former would be too OP, but the latter would be a neat effect that...

    Moves that Pokemon should/should not be able to learn

    Can confirm that inaudible yawns are still contagious. Heck, just this discussion about yawning is making me yawn... I also have a co-worker who yawns very loudly, and it sucks because then everyone starts.

    What Regions Would You Like to See In Future Games?

    Given the advanced hardware capabilities of the Switch, I think its high time to make a region based on a much larger geographical area. As some have posted above, Brazil and Australia come to mind as great candidates for their size and geographical diversity. 'Straya in particular seems like a...

    Pokemon Gym ideas

    Wholly agreed. More than anything, I liked that the Alolan trials were a breath of fresh air in that they never even pretended to take themselves too seriously, and instead were presented as a much more informal and lighthearted affair. It would be nice to see more Gym battles take on some of...

    The In-Game Team Advice Thread

    What's the team for? WiFi battling? The Battle Tree? You're so far overleveled for the main game that your team selection doesn't really matter there. There's really no point in having 3 fairies on your team, and if you insist on keeping Whimsicott and Gardevoir, then Mimikyu has to go, unless...

    LT Weekly Poll #46 Did you like/use the radio feature in G/S/C/HG/SS?

    I loved me the Pokegear radio. In both Silver and SoulSilver, I stalled advancing the plot just so I could ride everywhere while listening to the Team Rocket theme on the radio.

    crap, you're right. I guess not that one then.

    SwSh Starters Discussion

    A trend that I've noticed since gen 6 is that, for the final evolutions of the starter trio, the secondary types also form (something close to) a second type triangle. Consider: Greninja: Water > Fire and Dark > Psychic Delphox: Fire > Grass and Psychic > Fighting Chesnaught: Grass > Water and...

    Moves that Pokemon should/should not be able to learn

    XYORAS SMUSUM Cloaked in flames, the user dances and flaps its wings. This may also raise the user's Sp. Atk stat. Ho-Oh maybe, but first you show me where the wings are on those other Pokemon.

    The In-Game Team Advice Thread

    I would recommend Kabutops over Omastar for HG. 2 of the best things Omastar has going for it, Shell Smash and Weak Armor, weren't introduced until gen 5, and while Omastar has slightly better bulk (70/125/70 to Kabutop's 60/105/70), Kabutops has better speed (80 vs 55) and a better movepool...

    What was the Worst addition to the Games?

    IMO, Game Freak's mistake with Sturdy was not making it work like it does now from the start. When I first saw Sturdy in Gen 3, I was rather baffled by its description of "negates one-hit KO moves" yet the Sturdy user still getting KOed in one hit from full HP. Then I realized it only applied to...

    Are there any type combinations/concepts you want to see in future games?

    I briefly mentioned it in another thread, but I would have liked to see Heliolisk as a fire/electric type that could abuse either sun or rain. Weather abusers are some my favorite 'mons, and I would love to see something that can abuse multiple weather conditions. A Meloetta-esque ice/fire...

    Are there any type combinations/concepts you want to see in future games?

    It took me way too long to figure out that Wurmple's evolution wasn't based on time of day at all. It made so much sense to me that Dustox was a nighttime evolution given Cascoon's darker color and the fact that Dustox is a moth. Agreed, though, that more day/night split evolutions would be...

    Moves that Pokemon should/should not be able to learn

    Seriously? What "normal rules"? Manaphy and Xurkitree both clearly glow when they use the move, and neither emit light from their tails. I would give you the argument about bioluminescence for Manaphy, but Xurkitree clearly uses electricity to make its head glow for the move, and neither are...

    Moves that Pokemon should/should not be able to learn

    Manaphy and Xurkitree can learn Tail Glow, though, and Ampharos is clearly capable of glowing brightly enough to be a lighthouse beacon.

    Are there any type combinations/concepts you want to see in future games?

    I only said no more 'mons based on food. And besides, wouldn't a pizza type just be like 3 different types on top of a normal type?

    Please no more Pokemon based on food.

    The In-Game Team Advice Thread

    OOH, OOH, USE TOXAPEX!!! Now that I've got that out of the way, aside from Pex being the most annoying PoS wall to deal with, you can breed Haze onto it, which turns the Totem bosses into easy mode by just eliminating their starting stat buffs. Besides giving a big F-U to the boss mechanics, it...

    The In-Game Team Advice Thread

    Even if Bellsprout does have Chlorophyll, I feel like it is still outclassed by Bulbasaur; Venusaur has better bulk and speed than Victreebel, and the lower attack (82 vs 105) doesn't mean much after a Growth boost in Sun takes you to +2. If you want to run a Sunny Day user or Ninetales with...

    Moves that Pokemon should/should not be able to learn

    Every other Solar Power user gets Sunny Day, though. Moreover, I rather disagree with your assessment that Solar Power is a bad ability for Heliolisk; effectively, it provides a Life Orb boost for the user to abuse on top of the other benefits of sun, while still holding an item. (although to be...
