    Pokémon that exceeded your expectations in-game despite looking bad initially?

    To finish the game in a quicker way, I traded some Pokemon from SS to Diamond. One of them was Cacnea from Pokemon Emerald lv5 Timid Nature with Cut. Eventually I realized that Cacnea still hits hard despite the -atk nature. It came with its 60 base power grass signature move which was...

    Pokemon that disappointed you in-game despite looking good initially?

    Playing Pokemon Diamond again to get more TMs because they aren't permanent this gen, I decided to use 1 of billions of lv5 Natu I transferred from Gen 3 which had Timid Nature and 31 SpA iv at minimum. I intended to use it as Synchronize mon for some legends and Fly slave (Natu can't learn...

    worst thing about Aerodactyl in FRLG is you get it at lv5 instead of lv30. Why even bother at this point?

    SPOILERS! General Pokémon Anime Discussion

    The latest episode was fine but in certain ways I felt it didn't execute scenes that well. I like that they actually went and tried to bother to address what Pokemon Master suppose to mean. I like Ash talking to Tracy and the anime not ignoring him as an actual character regardless of popularity...

    I watched the Japanese version recently and there he said he would pick him up later.

    SPOILERS! General Pokémon Anime Discussion

    I have to say, I loved the latest Episode of Pokemon. Pokemon Heroes may not be my favorite movie, but I kinda like that Latios and Latias went to the town where we first saw them animated it and even seeing the girl from the movie implying these Latias and Latios are the successors of the movie...

    What pokémon got affected most by changes in the remakes of their games?

    PP stalling the opponent? I mean you can defensive play with pretty much all Pokemon and just go for Toxic + recovery item in Gen 1. Admittedly I don't play nuzlocke, so I can't talk much regarding it. Articuno can still beat the Elite 4 and despite the nerf is powerful enough. But relative to...

    What pokémon got affected most by changes in the remakes of their games?

    -> Transition from Gen 2 to Gen 4 is really rough for Mareep. Sure, it still has good coverage and got Static, but for an ingame run it won't help much. Stat experience system is not kind to it. There aren't many ways to raise its special attack ingame. But most importantly, Thunderpunch and...

    SPOILERS! General Pokémon Anime Discussion

    It was a decent episode. Breakdancing Amoongus is always nice and we did see some old Pokemon at least being acknowledged that didn't make in the episode. But it is still not like seeing them reunite with Arbok and Weezing. It also doesn't look like any of the Pokemon got any new moves but I...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I noticed this watching a meme video Why do we get each game get a bigger variation of a Pokemon as a "gimmick"? Totem Pokemon Alpha Pokemon Dynamax Pokemon Titan Pokemon Meanwhile Wailord is still small in-battle...

    What pokémon got affected most by changes in the remakes of their games?

    -> Psychic Types in general got obviously worse, but Abra especially I think got worse the most. It lost bulk, immunity to Ghost, the ability to Abuse the Mew Glitch, Reflect being permanent and whatnot. Getting Dark Type weakness is also not nice and it didn't get a very useful ability. The...

    What pokémon got affected most by changes in the remakes of their games?

    Continuing further -> Gastly got Levitate making it 3 immunities and the ability to actually hit Ghost Types for Super Effective Damage from the transition of Gen 1 to Gen 3. The latter isn't that big of a deal considering the lack of Ghost being Physical and Dark Type moves are a hindrance...

    SPOILERS! General Pokémon Anime Discussion

    I recall saying that Pokemon used to be very aggressive and not immediately turn into friends in older Pokemon as they act very animistic. I think the best example I recently saw was in the Orange Island episodes with the Pink Pokemon where the Pink Nidoking attacked anyone without...

    What pokémon got affected most by changes in the remakes of their games?

    -> Besides getting Metal Claw, lv32 Flamethrower as Charmeleon really boosted the usefulness of the Charmander-line. It is really fun to use. I think generally Fire Types got a lot better from the transition. Also Blaze is a neat ability as the weaker you get, the harder your fire moves hit...

    SPOILERS! General Pokémon Anime Discussion

    I also feel many of the modern characters feel artificial or overexaggerated to the point you can't take them as real people. I mean overexeggerated characters did exist in the first season, but you could still see them as human/Pokemon. Like Dublica is really good at changing her outfit and...

    SPOILERS! General Pokémon Anime Discussion

    After rewatching the first season of Pokemon, a lot of things just feel weirder in modern Pokemon. Like why would the police so easily coorperate with other trainers out of random. Previously, certain things happened where the police took at least a while or resisted help from outsiders in...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Did Floette turn into a dinosaur or a dog? I mean past version of Suicune looks nowhere near as elegant as it used to be or resemble the animal it used to be. Not that I think it used to be a dinosaur before Ho-oh revived it. My examples with Mew and Mewtwo were to showcase the randomness as it...
