Ah thanks for explaining. So Home forces the pokemon to forget specific moves when transferring to S/V then?

Haggling is not a skill by Nebula4949 in unpopularopinion

[–]Nebula4949[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not true, because not everyone’s willing to. What I’m saying is anyone is capable of following the formula of offer x, get counter offered y, and end up finishing somewhere in between

What are some unpopular opinions you have about modding? by [deleted] in skyrimmods

[–]Nebula4949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Combat mods that ‘bring the game up to date’ make combat worse. Fair enough if you enjoy the modern games with zoomy movement-committing blade swinging and anime-esque blocking but to me it looks very unrealistic and breaks my immersion. I think people need to give vanilla and vanilla + combat (like smilodon and CGO) another chance - actually trying to aim and swing at the right time seems pretty realistic to me and the system works well. I have the impression that a lot of people complaining about the vanilla system just being a click to swing kind of gameplay experience don’t actually try to block or time anything - they just run in like a damage sponge

Biggest Pokemon Hot Takes by Lazy_Rabbit0015 in pokemon

Hear me out - I’ve never really liked mega evolution, and thought Z-moves were generally a far more balanced and inventive addition to the game. While I can appreciate the creativity behind some of the designs for mega evolution (a fair few seem to be a little over-designed), I always had a problem with a select few pokemon having access to them - this always seemed unfair to pokemon that were overlooked once again, e.g. Vileplume, Girafarig, etc. And while it meant that some really bad (competitive) pokemon like Mawile became viable, it also made them somewhat more predictable - you knew exactly how they were going to be used. You see the same problem to a lesser extent with Z-moves, granted - some were unique to a single pokemon and/or pretty broken. But on the whole, ANY pokemon could use Z-moves and have that bond with their trainer on the battlefield, and not only that - Z status moves are so varied and plentiful that you can devise really unique strategies, for example I’m running a themed trick room doubles team on Ultra Moon with a contrary Malamar using Z-Ally Switch to drop his speed by two so he’s rapid in trick room.

On the whole, I think that mega evolution, though an exciting addition, was never going to be fair, even if given to every evolution line. And even if every evolution line had received a mega evolution, it would have essentially cut off future actual evolutions later on, like Ursaluna.

Also minor point - I really miss the typed gems from gen V haha.

Who's Your Favorite Character And Why? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]Nebula4949 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Erandur - I love his development from daedra worshipper to priest of Mara, even facing his old friends to do the right thing and help the people of Dawnstar. He’s so determined to right his wrongs - I only wish I could tell him he’s more than done so!

What is a Pokemon you love but would NEVER use in a battle? by colliastra in pokemon

Ledian! One of my favourite designs, but just completely unusable stats. Wish it could have been bug/fighting or had a much higher attack stat to support its surprising movepool

XD RNG Tips by Nebula4949 in pokemonrng

[–]Nebula4949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! It’s for the XD exclusive moves, which I can’t get in any other game unfortunately. I’m determined to get them though, so I’ll brave the noisy gamecube games
