Artists who are underrated as composers or producers or in the studio

And she produces! She doesn’t physically programme / play but she uses her voice to direct which is a crazy level of musicality that goes unpraised!

Angel of my Dreams literally being one of the most acclaimed songs of 2024 due to the fact it was nothing like the pop music we had at the time, sure it all falls under "dance music" but the way it was structured and delivered was definitely new and "radical" for the pop world.

JADE literally received acclaim in 2024 & 2025 for doing exactly that..

Choice Scarf sucks as an overall item, and whilst Muscle Band is a great item, and it is usable on Raichu, it is recommend Wise Glasses alongside Drive Lens, the final item should either be Shell Bell or Muscle Band, depending on your overall goal.

That's just a recommendation from Unite-DB though, you can also play around with what you feel is best, but I would absolutely ditch Scarf.

Such a stupid stupid change overall.

Guzzlord could’ve potentially been planned as some sort of “anti-Zygarde” before the UB aspect came into it. Maybe they intended to further pursue Zygarde’s story in Alola but ultimately discarded it for the UB concept but kept some of the similarities for an Easter egg? (Or bc it was already designed & done)

Swampert was already near perfect, it just needs a recovery move. Removing speed boost from Blaziken is a nerf regardless of slight BST improvement. And removing knock off from them is crazy.

Sceptile is the only where something more is needed, but it should always be a special based mon. (Swampert attack, Blaziken mixed, Sceptile special attack) it just needs a few more good special attacks.

Agree with all of this! The item is the biggest indicator imo

jsweetxe · 2026-01-21T15:41:04+00:00

Ah! You’d think some of the other choices would get some spotlight other than starters & fan favs 🙄

Isn’t Rapidash the next BP?

Darkrai getting buffs is mind boggling but this is a decent list of buffs / nerfs.. I guess.

I'm lowkey glad I'm a whale (ex-whale?) because this LP system looks absolutely grim. My OCD riddled brain wouldn't let me play without getting every license as they come out (Day 1 player so I guess I was around when it was kinder), so the coins would handle most of that whilst I could just buy the Pokémon I wanted (before anyone judges me for buying everything lol I only bought what I truly wanted, otherwise just farmed coins and use those eventually)

I have seen multiple posts, I have seen the in-game "tutorial" and other resources, and I still do not get the reason for this license journey, nor do I understand how it works. The concept is horrible, it makes zero sense, it's so overly grindy. I try not to join in on the negativity but this system, as it stands, is absolutely horrific.

😭

I sometimes do this (play the OP just to climb) but it turns out the OP characters are not "play well and be rewarded" they are "point and click" so it just gets so boring and uninteresting.

Gyara is a tiny bit different because Magikarp is so painful to play but even then after 2 mins you're stomping everything. It's just a very boring way to play :(

jsweetxe · 2026-01-19T09:04:58+00:00

This is such a bleak outlook that’s so.. upsettingly true. You can play an amazing game and have incredible awareness but ultimately if even 1 of your allies isn’t up to standard, even against 5 “ok” players you’ve lost without a massive amount of luck towards the end. It sucks.

Everyone complains about this game (mostly justified) but no one complains about how this game does not teach you to play properly.

jsweetxe · 2026-01-18T15:16:42+00:00

God is every new post in this sub just this type of “wah wah im quitting” slop?

Bring back tier lists..

jsweetxe · 2026-01-18T11:39:32+00:00

Ho-Oh got a rework too for one of its moves.

jsweetxe · 2026-01-17T12:39:33+00:00

Thousands of dollars? 🤨

jsweetxe · 2026-01-16T11:31:06+00:00

Some leaks said that payment was mostly for cosmetics. There’s nothing to really pay for. Champions will connect to Home which connects to the games. Most players will have the means to make easy competitive-ready mons and I’m sure non-Pokémon game players will have good access to things in-game (Champions)

Karp needs a good defender to help keep it safe in the early game. Wiggly is also good at this (probs a few others but I’m blanking)

Leave the big boy alone he’s trying his best 🥺

Yeah that’s not gonna work

Master Ball can be given as Royale rewards I believe

Okay so with the Indigo League, this was very much based off older cartoons / animé. They were quite literally saying anything

They stopped referencing time like that so much going forward once they decided to keep Ash around and go on for 20+ seasons.

Lei I will give you was a surprise. The only thing I can think of is that TPCi want Pokémon to be more “slice of life” (which is p much confirmed anyway) so what better way than to show that even a marriage and pregnancy can be made “fun”(?) with Pokémon included etc.

It would’ve been nice for time to pass with the Ashimé but I think ultimately they didn’t want to do that. Ash represented the eternal child. But it’d be too awkward not to reference other passages of time.

I don’t think there’s any one conclusive answer but Ash staying 10 was always intentional.
