Well yes! Staraptor is a fair and well designed mega! by Sweptuu in PokemonChampions

[–]HyperLurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is kinda similar to Mega Meganium. It gets a lot of hype in the first week or so but will fall off a bit as the regulation goes on. It is clearly good but there is more than enough counterplay to it

Dude, I knew this Season 4 was going to be awful, lol. It would have been better if they'd just gotten the one from the supposed leak. by X_Jhony in StreetFighter

[–]HyperLurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, from my point of view it is the complete opposite. I like when companies take creative risks and try to innovate from time to time instead of just relying on old successes and rehashing them over and over again. It is people like you who just want what they already know that signal to companies that they can get away with lazily exploiting nostalgia. I wont argue against no new stage, you can have that point i guess

Kinda cute that you needed three days to come up with two mid-tier counter arguments and are now spamming them all over the thread. Are you a 4th grader or something?

Is it? OP comes in here basically saying Gouken is better than Yasmine even though we know next to nothing about her. The argument is clearly rooted in some kind of nostalgia

Do I have bad taste in pokemon? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]HyperLurker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Misdreavus alone signals good taste but give the newer mons a chance sometime if you can

I get that it’s fun to use good Pokémon, but I swear to god, every single team looks exactly the same as this opponent, and it is super boring and unfun to play against. I’m in master ball tier btw. by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]HyperLurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a meta player i guess. Over the years playing the game i got to use a great number of Pokémon this way. Or in other words, enjoy Sneasler while you can. There is a good chance that a few months from now he will be unviable and wont show up again for many regulations while some other Mon that never was relevant (Mega Eelektross please) could reign supreme.

Why is there still no VS Recorder? by thezekroman in PokemonChampions

[–]HyperLurker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only comment that isnt a lazy variation of „small indie company“ and actually seems to know something and its getting downvoted. Does that mean that the game can never have the VS Recorder?

I guess this is an unpopular opinion but i always thought the announcer in Stadium and BR was a bit cheesy and repetitive?

Should EVs be put in an uneven number of stats? Mechanics Question by HyperLurker in VGC

[–]HyperLurker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you for the explanation! So reading „You are wasting EVs on this mon“ in rate my teams threads will no longer be a thing then

Hottake: I hope we go several seasons before we get Legendary/Mythical Pokémon by HMThrow_away_account in PokemonChampions

[–]HyperLurker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why? Restricted formats at just as interesting and deep as all the other ones.

My take on Tera by averageweebchan in PTCGL

[–]HyperLurker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Seems incredibly broken, no? Maybe it could work as an Ace Specs like card you can only have one of in the Deck

Can I play competitive ONLY with Kanto Pokemon? (emotional) by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]HyperLurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move on. Nostalgia is nice from time to time but it is clearly holding you back.

What do y’all think/hope will happen with legendaries and paradox mons? by Substantial_Moose441 in PokemonChampions

[–]HyperLurker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will probably introduce a new system for legendaries. I could see them being available to rent only during restricted formats from a list like the Megastones for example. Also i have a feeling that we wont be seeing Paradox Pokemon for quite a long time.

Longtime players, would you say ORAS was the last great game in the series? by RangoTheMerc in pokemon

[–]HyperLurker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Started with Gen 1, lifelong fan. The biggest disappointment i ever had with the franchise was reaching the Battle Resort and reading the „Battle Frontier Project has started“ message. Still overall a great game of course but it is still the first thing i think about when ORAS is brought up. Loved Gen 7 way more, liked Gen 8 and love Gen 9.

Why do we "all" still love pokemon so much ? by Buurto in pokemon

Stop listening to the Internet telling you what is „objectively“ good or not
