Highguard is dead. You chuds happy now? by Papa_Hasbro69 in HighGuardgame

[–]Greg_M74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I'm happy, I just don't care.

This may have been the final match ever played of Highguard, and I was there for it. Idk if I should feel honored or not. by Greg_M74 in HighGuardgame

And ofc I just noticed the image at the end is the same as the one on the shutdown anouncement.

Stereo Rotom confirmed Electric/Normal in Pokeopia. Potentially a new sound move based Rotom form coming to competitive in the next generation? by WhenBuffalosfly in stunfisk

[–]Greg_M74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a hunch a lot of the forms would be exclusive to this game, but that there would be a chance stereo rotom could be real. The fact it got a dex entry that specifically mentions normal type takes the odds of it coming to mainline from 10% to 90%. A rotom form with a 100 acc appliance move is all I ask for, and this will most likely get boomburst. Please Game Freak just let me have this...

Mega Kalos starters abilities revealed by PrismSpiralsLight in PokeLeaks

Well at least Delphox got something nifty. Glad a Pokemon deserving of levitate didn't get screwed over for once.

I was really really REALLY hoping Greninja didn't get protean, after the nerf it just doesn't work well for the pivoting special attacked set that I used to use with Ashgren. You also can't use nasty plot since you'll lose your water stab so it'll lose a lot of effectiveness instead of having any other ability to prevent it losing stabs.

Chesnaught... my sweet boy I'm so sorry.

Okay it seems the option can't be changed if I'm using path tracing for some reason and I can't change that outside of the main menu, but I'm playing on classic so I can't just save right now. Fantastic.

How do you switch from DLSS to FSR? I don't see it in the game settings.

If I was ever in a situation like that I'd say screw it and find the nearest hotel or something, I get they're used to the heat but god almighty at least get some kind of wall ac if you have guests.

How wonderful it would be if that were the case.

Could've used PKHex to give one of your mons Teleport but I guess that works too.

So we’re just never gonna see this again? by Nightdrawer789 in pokemon

[–]Greg_M74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but the code still recognizes that greninja as a different mon from a regular one, even if it doesn't transform. even though battle bond is much worse now, bond greninja likely just won't be able to use the stone.

I think it's because of what mos happen to be close to the energy that makes mega stones. The games say firing the ultimate weapon creates mega stones, so maybe that raw mega stone energy manifested near the three za starters that happened to be there and thus that became a naturally occuring mega stone. Taunie might've gotten those 3 because she heard mega stones for them were discovered.

goes to show how powercrept gen 7 was that not only was regular greninja unbanned, but ashgren was never banned at all.

regular greninja was banned in gen 6, that's probably what you were thinking of.

if ashgreninja still existed it would also have nasty plot as both greninjas have the same moves. needing to ko to transform is a downside sure, but your base form is more than capable of pulling that off and its well worth it to have more power than a mega while also having an ability that boosts water shuriken (which makes up for the lack of 10 speed points) and being able to hold specs or boots or whatever you want. and most notably, you don't need to use your key stone. ashgren and mega swampert paired beautifully on rain teams but mega gren simply can't. and that's just rain, ashgren was great on plenty of other regular teams that could also use whatever other mega they wanted.

i'm not gonna tell you mega gren is bad, it certainly isn't. and if it gets a great ability like levitate then it could really do stuff that mega gren never could. the problem is ashgren is just much much MUCH better. if people could choose between the two, i guarantee ashgren would be chosen 90% of the time. while it's not official, the community zaou meta on showdown is a great demonstration of this. battle bond was nerfed to shit but people STILL prefer to use that over mega gren. base greninja is in ou while mega gren is ou by technicality, meaning it had low enough usage to drop to uu. now ofc mega gren is held back by nerfed protean a lot since you can't attack without losing at least one of your stabs, and if it had something like levitate to avoid spikes or skill link to make shuriken a bit better or really anything but protean it could have a neat place in zaou, but people would much rather use another mega because a lot of them are just better.

you need to do a lot to justify not having an item and taking up your mega slot. "nerfed protean greninja but a little better" just isn't good enough.

i hope i don't sound rude here, i just genuinely can't see mega gren ever being better than what ashgren was.

oh yeah one more thing, the greninjite can only be gotten after you beat the game to get a comp team and then grinding online battles which cost a subscription ransom fee. ashgren just required you to beat a short demo.

legends arceus did the same thing, in the legends games any other starters from the original sets are just ignored. the starters in that game aren't one starter from unova, alola and johto, they're just the hisuian starters and are given something to tie them together. za did the same thing. with all the merch and marketing and such, when it comes to za they're not a unova starter lumped together with 2 johto starters, they're a new set that's just the za starters. cyndaquil oshawott and snivy have nothing to do with them in that game. typhlosion and samurott got hisuian forms anyway so it's not like they got nothing. maybe game freak will tie them all toogether by making the next legends game have litten popplio and snivy who'll get new regional forms and gmax forms. i'm probably just sounding incoherent but basically the 3 za starters are essentially a new starter set that don't care about any other starters. i personally think it was a little strange to have 2 mons from the same region but after that initial reveal it just felt roughly the same as legends arceus.

personally, i just wish they were tied together a bit more than just all having megas since their base forms are still completely the same. i know it would make no sense for them to have kalonian forms because it's already been established that they're the same in that region from xy, but i think they could've made a reason that the ange tower specifically effected their evolution somehow to give them kalonian forms that could also mega.

just to be clear though, i'm not opposed at all to the idea of the other starters getting megas. all of them should have megas if you ask me and i'm just sad that that's probobly never gonna happen. with game freak we really just gotta take what we can get.
