WHAT?
Are you guys using Memento competitively?
I haven't, but I want to use it somehow. Any suggestions other than "Arena Trap/Shadow Tag".
>>25793326
It seems like the kinda thing a belly drum set up sweeper would want, along with screens.
Maybe using linoone in a lower tier.
>>25793326
whats wrong with trapping? otherwise, the enemy will just switch out and you barely bought yourself a turn in the cost of a pokemon. why not trap and build up while the enemy in front of you can do almost nothing?
anyway, some moves trap the enemy. if you think the enemy will set up with SR you might want to use wrap and such, but why bother?
Baby Pokémon were probably the coolest batch of new additions.

Yes, we get it, it's April 1.

I was going to say that. Are you my soul mate?

Let's have a talk about the speed of Gen 4. I've noticed recently it has become more common to say that Gen 4 is slow. By the numbers it's true that the Gen 4 engine is the slowest. But does slowest necessarily equal slow?
Personally, I'm playing Platinum right now and I feel it's the type of thing you'd have to go out of your way to be annoyed by. And it's a disservice to the great job they did with Platinum to outright dismiss it for something that's really pretty minor. But maybe I'm in the minority. I'd love to hear...

Platinum fixes the slow problem for the most part.
Try playing Diamind or Pearl, the game most people got their hands on when 4th gen started.
>>25793017
Platinum is much faster, but I never really felt bothered by the slowness in Diamond.
Just hold the space bar, desu.
What constitutes a good Pokemon design? What qualifies as a bad Pokemon Design? And don't just say that it's a good design or bad design because it looks like x, tell me why x is a desirable or undesirable aesthetic trait.
>>25792613
Subjective taste.
>>25792613
>What constitutes a good Pokemon design?
A good design is one that takes an idea and puts a unique twist on it. The less expected the better.
>What qualifies as a bad Pokemon Design?
One that's all too predictable. Pokemon that are just oddly colored animals are the worst offenders of this right after the ones that just get bigger and meaner looking. It may as well not have an evolution at all.
A bad design is made worse with an obvious or unclever name like Talonflame or Hurricanine.

>One that's all too predictable. Pokemon that are just oddly colored animals are the worst offenders of this right after the ones that just get bigger and meaner looking. It may as well not have an evolution at all.
But none of that is really bad Pokemon design either.
Pokemon come in many different shapes, sizes, and concepts. Even the most simple of Pokemon can have appeal if they are cute or make it work.
>obvious or unclever names
Welcome to a majority of Pokemon then.
This is a Lottie pile of nonsense.

>>25792190
I like them all except the last one. I feel a Pokemon staying in the ball it was first captured in is a statement of some sort, and it leads to much nicer variety. I know you're suggesting that it remain an optional choice to keep the ball or change it, but if we were given too much freedom, everyone would just put their Pokemon in Premier Balls or Luxury Balls or something. We wouldn't see any more normal Pokeballs anymore.
>>25792216
I catch all my pokemon in regular poke balls.
In fact I have a shiny Druddigon that really didn't want to get caught, and I ended up catching him in a Heal Ball because that was the last type of ball I had for some reason, and I really wish I could switch that ball to a regular poke ball.

What secondary type should a moon-themed Volcarona counterpart have? /Water, /Ice, /Fairy, /Psychic, /Dark, or something else?
>>25792144
Ice type with a bug-themed Thick Fat
>>25792379
>ice bug

A Bug/Fairy Lunar moth for MoonBlast STAB. Fairy is also a given with how Sylph-like it's wings are.

odds on anything relevant being shown? my bet is they'll just have the starters standing still in battle animation.
maybe, mayyybe box legends shown.
>>25791860
starters is good enough for me to be honest
Nothing is happening tomorrow
Are you worried about Nintendo of America censoring Sun and Moon?
>>25791776
No.
There is nothing to censor
>>25791776
I would be worried if skimpy outfits or weeb shit like fire emblum were a thing in pokemon, but there is really little to censor in pokemon to begin with.

ayy lmao
Honest question, what would you use instead of greentext.
After all, "using talonfame" doesn't really carry the same clear meaning as
>using talonflame
for example.

Hi Nadine
Welcome to /pmg/, a place for discussing Pocket Master/FantasyMonster/Magic Elves.
This time without any complaining about the time bug

>What is this?
It's a Chinese mobile game where several Pokemon are turned into surprisingly great waifus and husbandos. You build a team of five (and one backup) and go through various stages and also fight people in a PvP arena. It's like Plants vs. Zombies except better because it's a waifu sim.

Do you guys think iOS version will eventually suffer the same fate? It got an update today but it was very minor.
>This time without any complaining about the time bug
>this is still in the OP
this was the theme last time, this theme should be complaining about the new designs
>>25791900
Honestly? Probably not. Apple is known for having a TERRIBLE record with this kind of stuff, which is good for us.

>>25791431
No. Fuck you. Just. Fuck you.
