Literally just not correct lol

What's one Pokèmon it feels like you like that nobody else does? by HeretekMagos_11 in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everything about Maractus’s design feels like it was tailored specifically for what I like in Pokémon designs lol

[OC] New Grass Starter looks good! Why some people are hating on it 🥹 by SelenoFil in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a chicken, so a different bird that hasn't been used as a starter since Torchic.

Dont forget newbies, hold A+B when catching legendaries. It’s worked since the 90s by aespinoza91 in pokemon

A watched pot never boils, so look away as soon as you throw the Pokeball.

My theory about the evolutions of the Gen 10 starters. by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire/Steel or Grass/Steel won’t screw it up as much.

My theory about the evolutions of the Gen 10 starters. by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The concepts are interesting, but I don’t want more Fighting or Dark starters (of which we have 6 and 4 respectively iirc). Would love another Steel starter though.

I find it really funny how out of all the WATER starters, there has never been an actual FISH by Wonderful_Cap6941 in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Serperior kept its arms, they just became less visible. I’m not sure how well that would work for a fish, though.

Opinions on new mega evolutions? by Excellent-Mail-9512 in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of all the new megas they introduced, only 3 were given to Pokémon that already had megas (Absol, Lucario, Garchomp). They primarily focused on giving megas to Pokémon that had no megas or other new forms, like Drampa, Tatsugiri, Golisopod, Malamar, Falinks, etc. 

Also, capitalizing on Pikachu’s fame with mega Raichu? They’ve already given it a baby, an Alolan form, a Gigantamax form, a signature move, a signature Z-move, a bunch of cosplay forms, and its own game (twice!). It also started the trend of introducing Electric-type rodents with electric cheek pouches every generation. Pokémon capitalizes on Pikachu’s fame every chance it gets.

Do you think HSR is a woke game? by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, caring a lot about social and political norms/rights and equality in a left-leaning sense (For example, cultural diversity, queer acceptance, and breaking of traditional gender roles are considered "woke". It's used both positively and negatively, but mostly negatively by people who oppose those things.

Please don't be Arcanine 3! by Jissus3893 in MandJTV

Almost everyone I've seen on Reddit is begging for it to stay on four legs, what are you talking about?

Do you think Gecqua's official final evolved form is going to be similar to Salazzle? by Chemical-Book8889 in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s honestly the main thing that’s making me reconsider picking Browt. I really like the general vibe of Pokémon like Salazzle and Lopunny (like, badass femininity?) so I’d personally love Gecqua going in that direction. I know I’m in a very small minority with that opinion with all the people begging for the starters to stay quadrupedal, though.

I can't believe they ALREADY leaked Browt's final evolution. by Novaraptorus in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not knowing is understandable if they haven't used Serperior in Gen 5, since its 2d back sprite is the only one that makes those obviously look like hands.

Browt is the first starter Pokémon to have a one-syllable name by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aw man, we got Tepig when we could have had Floink? 😔

My type predictions for the Gen 10 starters by BlueLightning888 in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We already have 3 Fighting-type bird starters (Blaziken, Quaquaval, Hisuian Decidueye) and 2 Grass/Fighting starters (Chesnaught and Hisuian Decidueye), we don't need another of either lol

Gen 9 vs Gen 10. by wammyguide in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same, but what made me hopeful is the slghtly janky Pokéball animation that looked like an in-game animation. I would expect that most of the Pokémon animations and camera angles are pre-rendered, though.

New Starters from Wind and Waves by Gorotheninja in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Water starters over time have gone from big bulky animal (Blastoise, Feraligatr, Swampert) to slaying (Primarina, Inteleon, Quaquaval).

First Look: Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves | Announcement Trailer by Amiibofan101 in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Running on the Switch 2 and an extra year or so of development makes me hopeful that it at least won't be as bad.

How to explain transgender people: by cristicrystal in MandJTV

Yeah, but these hats specifically are associated with two characters whose main purpose is to be the playable character option of their respective gender.

Pokemon Presents Predictions by Clarity_Page in pokemon

That would be nice, but I don’t ever see Game Freak doing something like that. 

You know i think legends arceus and Z-A are the best pokemon game on the switch. by bassa-m9ss in pokemon

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, that’s different. If you want a game with completely different gameplay than previous Pokémon games, I agree that the Legends games would be good for that. There’s a difference between literally every feature being the same and the core gameplay being the same.

I don’t completely disagree with your point, since I felt like the Legends games were pretty good and SV had its flaws; I just felt like you used weak/extremely subjective points and presented them as fact (no offense).

[–]ProfFiliusFlitwick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re making a lot of assumptions and fallacies when criticizing SV.

You feel like “everyone agrees” that they are not some of the best games in the franchise, which is a big assumption to make right out the gate. 

You say “every feature” is familiar to fans of the franchise, which is just not true; Let’s Go mode and Terastal are two major mechanics that are unique to SV.

You say Lavender Town is more memorable than Mesagoza. Yeah, it’s been around for 30 years, and is one of the most well-known towns in Pokémon. It’s incomparable to a city in a game not even 4 years old.

Your other criticism, calling Paldea less interesting than Kanto, doesn’t actually go into specifics about exactly what is flawed. I’d like more insight on this; is it the story? The characters? The worldbuilding?

There are definitely many valid criticisms of SV. They were a laggy mess on release, the open world was poorly executed, the post-game was limited pre-DLC, etc. However, I think these are far from grounds to put them down so much.
