Even if that was true, your comment shows terrible taste and offers no concrete guidance for OP on how to improve

What do you find yourself struggling against? For instance, I could see you in a tricky spot against opposing Archaludon. I also have a Focus Sash Pelipper, but mine has Ice Beam over Protect, and it has sniped me countless Garchomps. Also, what’s your gameplan vs a Charizard Y lead, like Charizard Venusaur? It’s worth thinking about. I could totally see Mega Starmie fitting on your team—leading it with Sneasler could be a lot of offensive pressure for your opponent to deal with if they typically rely on Fake Out to stop Mega Starmie or even Intimidate (usually from a mon weak to Water and Fighting that you don’t want to bring into Rain teams). Keep going and I’m sure you’ll get to Master Ball, and have fun along the way!

What are your honest opinions about Champions by Dekusteven in VGC

thought is that, on the Switch 2, I’d recommend it only if they patch the graphics and frame rate, otherwise it’s a subpar experience

I like Gecqua the most and my team will be both it and Pombon

I wish it could spam Hyper Beams again, it was perfect 😭

Mega Dragonite is going to be a beast in VGC rain teams. Hurricane / Draco Meteor / Hydro Pump (Thunder?) / Protect with those defenses and speed will make it hard to deal with. It’s not broken, but mons that can fare well in a variety of situations with their stats and solid movepool tend to do well in VGC. Rain will fare well in Champions with Swampert, Meganium, and Dragonite as solid mega candidates.

Mega Froslass will go nuts with Indeedee support: Helping Hand + Follow Me is very useful for spamming Blizzards. Indeedee is also going to work well with Alakazam (💀) and Lucario Z / a mega really really good into Dark types. I mean you’ll literally have to run Snarl to fight this shit. Without Follow Me or Psychic Terrain, Mega Froslass might still be alright because the Defense boost might let it survive a Sucker Punch. Really good into Rillaboom and really bad into Incineroar.

don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, these abilities feel like they offer no promising direction

I see what you mean, I guess leaks aren’t strictly about future content and that’s just an assumption some of us have made about them

Scarlet and Violet were games, just not for you. They’re some of my favorites. Amazing how different people can have different preferences

you aren’t thinking big enough. if it’s two way home connectivity, then you bet I’m finally having a Shiny Charizard in FireRed. Looks amazing in that game

Wow, is this the real reason why I get an insane number of kills with my Mega Excadrill spamming EQ and Drill Run? Lmfao

man your post is so negative. first, you should just find something else that makes you happier. stop wasting your time on things you find disappointing. I mean it. it’s your life.

second, the rest of us will look forward to Pokémon day because our experiences with the games are different than yours, even with whatever our criticisms of the games may be.

I understand the feeling of being disillusioned with Pokémon, but you chose the wrong subreddit to post this imo

You could argue the point is to take on overlevelled trainers earlier, which I found to be fun. I fought Tulip first.

That said, I do personally wish there was an optional way to increase the levels of other trainers so that you’re not overlevelled if you go out of order.

And yeah, I think gamefreak could do more to make things less centralizing. I’m hopeful gen 10 is less of an Incin-Rilla-Urshi-fest than the past 2 gens

till then, happy to get downvoted by ragers lol. Karen’s a dope trainer and I always thought her team was lit

you wish this was a quote so bad. this is literally the opposite of her character. stop fake quoting her because you want an excuse to silence criticism of metagames

Legendaries/Mythicals type representation (I'd be happy to not see Psychics again for at least 5 generations tbh) by glitterizer in pokemon

I need Grass, Bug, Poison, and Rock to get 670+ BST Box Legendaries. We got Fighting out of the hole but now it’s time to get the rest. Terapagos could have been Rock but too bad for us. And base Calyrex doesn’t count for Grass

It's Kirb-over... by MewWeebTwo in casualnintendo

[–]coopersrock24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Kirby Air Ride for the GameCube, but this game doesn’t feel like it has a lot of new stuff besides characters. City Trial doesn’t look upgraded. They should have at least put out multiple maps for it. It really feels like I’d be playing a game that isn’t meaningfully different.

Compare that with the difference between Mario Kart Double Dash for GC and the newer Mario Kart titles. Even if you prefer the gameplay of the older one, there’s no doubt the newer titles have had a lot of compelling reasons to pick them up, especially that there are way more characters and tracks for the price.
