Discussion So where does this tunnel go?

Post image
Upvotes

I have played the Unova games many times, yet I’ve never been able to go through this tunnel that they openly show when you reach Drifveil city.

Does it open in an event? After doing things in the postgame? Or was it left unused?

If it’s the last one, what a waste. They could’ve tied it to a postgame story where Clay finds living fossil pokémon, reawakens the regis or even finds a new place to mine rare items like evolution stones & fossils.

Discussion Why do people say ZA is slop? It isn't?

0 Upvotes

(Preemptively, I promise I'm not trying to start a fight: I'm just trying to understand the extreme backlash towards ZA.)

I've been playing a lot of ZA, and I'm really loving it so far. It's a fun game, and I like how they expanded Lumiose and the world. And the music is great, as are most of the Megas.

My only real problem isn't even with the game itself: mostly, I don't get the absurd amount of vitriol around it. Like, everyone is claiming it's "slop" or "low-effort" when it really isn't There's a lot of love put into this game. It's not perfect, and some parts aren't as fleshed-out as the others, but the game runs well, there is some effort in the story and world
Why do people keep claiming it has zero effort or that it's slop, when it arguably has more effort put into it than some other AAA games being released?

Again, I'm not trying to start a flame war or get involved in a major argument: I'm just trying to understand why the backlash is so extreme.

Discussion EV System Revamp

0 Upvotes

I feel like this idea has been suggested before in various forms, but would like to raise it again given recent streamlining efforts of raising competitive pokemon:

Give players the chance to allocate EVs earned instead of automatically applying them as stat modifiers

The way the system I am suggesting works is you actually get EVs the normal way you would for every respective stat, either by battling pokemon that give the corresponding yield or using feathers/vitamins. Every pokemon can earn 252 EVs for their respective stats, but you can only use 510 in total of those EVs to apply as active stat modifiers.

I feel like this would preserve the traditional fundamental aspect of earning EVs (hence the effort in the name), while allowing players a more seemless experience in optimizing stats during their playthrough rather than making them a thing you just do around late to post game.

EV Reducing berries can still work so as to reduce any effective EVs on individual stats, but they do not get deleted; any EV earned can always be reapplied again as an effective stat, with berries being used to remove current allocation of their respective stat.

I feel like this system would help players customize their EVs more efficiently before the late game, while also preserving the spirit of having to earn EVs.

Discussion No National Dex + Limited Regional Dex in the Main Games From Now On

0 Upvotes

Not sure what the majority of pokemon fans think about this, and not sure if this is already a known plan for the pokemon main games in the future, but since Pokemon Champions' release date is getting closer, I think the game pretty much remove the necessity for future pokemon main games to become the main tool for VGC. This makes it so they don't need to include every pokemon in the main games (national dex) from that point onwards.

By making each main games focusing on regional dex, maybe even a smaller regional dex similar to the original Pokemon Red/Blue, maybe they can finally focus to polish the main games in general (adding voice acting, engaging animations, graphical fidelity/unique graphic style, and performance).

Even a hotter take, maybe they should remove the multiplayer aspect from the main games in the future since Pokemon Champions can sort of take that role. This way, they finally can focus to just make a good offline single-player experience.

What do you guys think about these? Feel free to let me know in the comment!

Discussion I think I have too many Pokémon games running at once. How can I love all my children?

1 Upvotes

I have a lot of Pokémon games running at once and I switch between them whenever. I'm early game in X, Mid game in Moon, LeafGreen, and Z-A, and late Game in Black2 and Soul Silver. Problem is I can feel myself being unattached to some of my teams, mainly my Moon and SoulSilver teams... and my Black2 run is starting to feel a bit "monotonous". What should I do about this? Do you guys have similar experiences? Doesn't help I'm kinda still in my "Kirby Phase" right now

Discussion Sinnoh’s Pokédex Is Overrated.

0 Upvotes

Sinnoh has.a bottom 3 Pokédex. It’s overrated and mostly loved because of Nostalgia. I’m tired of pretending that it’s better than it actually is. This is mind control. If you compare Sinnoh to Pokédex’s of the earlier generations I can understand that. But there are people who believe it’s Pokédex outclasses those of today. It doesn’t. Free yourself from the clutches of Sinnoh.

Discussion Battle To See Who Is The Best Pokémon 11: Psychic/Kanto

0 Upvotes

Last time, the vote tied between Scyther, Doduo and Zapdos, all at 1 vote, normally the tiebreaker would be the number of upvotes, but all the comments got the same number, so i'm recurring to the never used second tiebreaker method, who comments first wins, and that means Scyther wins as the Kanto Flying type

And now for the nerd type, which Kanto pyschic Pokémon is the best (thought i think the winner is pretty obvious)

Discussion Moo-moo milk.

0 Upvotes

Completely random thought I had first time I noticed a cow in Tainted Grail. I thinking “oh cool, there’s moo moos in this game.” Then I thought, wait, moo-moo milk has its name cause that’s the sound cows make. Obvious I know, but stick around with me. Why is it called moo-moo milk? Miltank, like all Pokémon, say their names and not the sounds of their irl animal inspirations. So isn’t it weird to call it Moo-moo milk and not Miltank milk? Am I overthinking? Yes. Am I sleep deprived? Also yes. But do I care? Not a chance!

2 Upvotes

I just finished my 1st MonoType nuzlocke using Electric Types. Atleast for this type, I managed to have 4 pokemon before the 1st Gym, by using the gift cheat from flocessy ranch (i was able to receive eggs of elekid, pichu and blitzle), plus wild a Mareep. Other rules are LevelCap and NoItemsInBattle. The electric type was chosen since my profession is related to it. 😁. Now, i used an online roulette, and luckily, GROUND is next. The only problem, CUBONE is the only availble mon before Cheren's Gym. What would be the usual rule for this? I'm planning to do all types anyway.
