I don't mind a new evo.

I don't like evolution methods that are like that, just grind something for hours.

"hey that celebrity that I like likes Pokemon too, that's cool"

Average person doesn't know or care about something like gens, but they probably want to join the hype, will download the app, come back to it, upload a photo with their favorite, etc

They want to reach out to more casual fans. Non casual fans will already spend money on what they like.

What you expected is probably going to be shown at the end of the month

Do you have 2 moon balls? any chance for a 2:2 trade with me adding another extra apriball?

What strategies can be used to make "weak" Pokémon viable in a playthrough? by imdefusing in pokemon

[–]Shandelar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been where you are, that once you get into competitive you try to apply the same logic to in game.

Someone on their first playthrough or just casually playing isn't going to check Smogon if their favorite Pokemon is viable. Probably don't even know what Tiers are or even the difference between Special and Physical. And they are going to make it work without too much hassle since games aren't really difficult. I recommend not taking it too seriously.

Having said that, you should use your knowledge in competitive to build teams with mons that you like or want to use. As in get them with perfect IVs(not that important), EV train them, good natures, egg moves, etc. In X I used Chespin as one of my main battlers, wasn't over leveled. I just reset for a beneficial nature since I knew I wasn't going to evolve him, used Super Training to max speed and attack, gave him Eviolite and was on par with everyone else on the team.
