B-But Pokemon needs to be new and different!
>>336386729
Nay. Any mechanic that results in such sheer fabulousness cannot be anything but good.
>>336386729
>implying Mega Evolution didn't save shitmon like Charizard
I can't hate a mechanic if it made Beedrill viable
>>336386863
It does, but only in the campaign. I'm tired of the same formulaic, start in small town, get fire/water/grass pokemon do 6 gym leaders, fight evil team, get box art pokemon, fight more gyms, elite 4, etc
>>336386729
Kind of looks like Dan Backslide

>what is Colosseum and its sequel
>>336387512
>what isXD
>>336387336
No it really doesn't.

They could have just given it a stat boost and none of this megashit.

Friez- I mean Takyon signalled the start of this mary sue bullshit
Mega Evolution is great
Charizard X is shit though
>>336387512
>what is Colosseum and its sequel
what *are
the answer is: spinoff bullshit.
>>336389098
This
>>336389136
At least it's better than Zard Y, which shouldn't even exist.
>>336389465
Zard Y actually looks decent and like Charizard
>>336387193
>implying Megas were a good idea
It started off okay, but ORAS brought some serious power creep bullshit, and gave Megas to a bunch of already good mons that didn't need it.
And balance between Megas is fucked. In any tier that M-Kangaskhan is allowed, there's little reason to use any other mega.
>>336389465
Zard Y looks like a natural progression of the original Zard you shitlord.
Zard X looks like some edgy shitty redesign.
>>336386875
Akuma suddenly showing up in otherwise unrelated fighters has been a thing for the last two decades.
>>336386729
I'll be the bigger contrarian and do you one better, OP.
Cross generational evolutions do not need to exist in any form, as giving a stat boost and a wider range of moves is sufficient enough.
>>336390589
I agree. Instead of fixing weaker pokemon by doing a full re-balance they just keep them and think giving them more evos will help.
>>336390589
I haven't played a pokemon game past gen 3. are you telling me that you will have improved stat gains/more evolutions if you trade a pokemon from an older gen into a newer game? that is appalling
>>336391682
Some Pokemon can evolve further than they could before in the newer games, yes.
>>336391941
gonna continue not venturing beyond gen 3 then
>>336386729
the only decision that feels like a fanboy from the west had the Game Freak building at gunpoint one day. Like he won a contest and they showed him sneak peek of the first mega, and then he nervously made an excuse that he had to go get his inhaler from his backpack.
>>336391682
>>336391941
Did you forget some of the new evolutions for gen 1 pokemon in gen 2? Why are you actually mad about this?
>>336387135
I love hair rock Ampharos.
>>336390396
At least that was a secret non canon character in a game made by Capcom.
Akuma is an important canon character in Tekken 7 which Capcom had nothing to do with, plus he's missing in SFV
>>336392020
You realize Gen 2 did this already with Pokemon like Eevee, Onyx, and Scyther, right?
>>336390589
>10 years later
>he's still mad about rhyperior
>>336389292
That's still changing the formula considerably. Moving the goalposts does not change the fact that Pokemon has something new to offer with each generation.
>>336389098
They actually did though, it got +10 base Attack in gen 6.
Problem is those little tiny boosts they gave things aren't really enough.
And for some retarded reason they still neglect to put Nidorina and Nidoqueen into a proper egg group so they can breed, instead of Nidoran Female being the only one that can get fucked.
>>336394358
And Slowpoke, Poliwhirl, Golbat, Gloom, Seadra, Porygon, Chansey
