An origami based Pokemon. I NEED IT
It would be interesting
It's called Porygon

You just blew my goddamn mind.
Alright /vp/, given that the pokemon games are themed around what the professors area of study is, what do you think Gen 7 will involve?
gen 1 - Professor Oak of the Kanto region, who studies the relationships between Pokémon and humans.
gen 2 - Professor Elm of the Johto region, who studies Pokémon breeding patterns.
gen 3 - Professor Birch of the Hoenn region, who studies Pokémon habitats.
gen 4 - Professor Rowan of the Sinnoh region, who studies Pokémon evolution.
gen 5 - Professor Juniper of the Unova region, who studies the origins of Pokémon.
gen...

Professor Palmtree: A nigger from the Hawaii region who studies the Darwinian evolution and timeline of Pokemon while making a bunch of jokes and nods to previous entries of the series because muh 20th anniversary

Probably about as serious a faggot as you, OP.
You should ask him out.

There is now a hold item that acts as a fifth move slot. Would this change the metagame?
>>25608865
Obviously.
>>25608865
That's actually a fairly interesting idea. Give up the item slot for a fifth move. Could create some fun possibilities.
>>25608865
Yes.
>there are people RIGHT NOW who hate Mega Evolutions and hope they are removed in Sun and Moon
How can you hate Mega Evolution? How?! It was an innovative and well-thought out mechanic that breathed new life into old Pokémon to make them more relevant. It allowed them to be more viable in battles. It also expanded upon the lore and opened up many new possibilities. Plus there are still many Pokémon that absolutely NEED Mega Evolutions, mostly the Johto starters and Flygon! Getting rid of Mega Evolution is one of the worst possible things that...

Most people who hate Mega Evolutions don't necessarily hate them as a concept, but hate the way they were implemented.
>and Flygon!
Subtle.
execution has been a shitshow so far
Are they innovative though? They're just more forme changes with a special label slapped on it. I think they just introduced this feature so they can keep marketing old Pokemon. Why else would barely any gen 6 and 5 Pokemon have them?
I think I really under appreciated these games. The main problem was the frequency of wild encounters and the slow battle system, but that really ignores everything cool it did. It had a dedicated lore, kept fresh enough despite relying on older games, had great designs, decent characters (as far as Pokémon goes) and was just all around a well implemented version of the formula.I think I like them more now because everything after their generation has been bad
>>25608762
Literally the only good thing to come from it was the split.
The Lore was too out of place for pokemon and the legends went above and beyond what pokemon should have been. Not to mention that gameplay wise it took several steps backwards in removing aspects of secret bases and contests and for some odd reason it brought back the Vs.Seeker when something like trainer's eyes or an integrated Seeker app on the Poketch would have sufficed.
On the note of the Poketch out was extremely useless outside of three...

When they came out they were fine. People like to bitch about muh slow engine now but back then nobody gave a shit because it was finally an online game and it has more Pokemon and a new region like everyone typically gets excited for.
I was far less enthusiastic about Platinum (to this day I still haven't done any of Platinum's post game) because most of it is rehashed bullshit from DP.
>>25608762
>It had a dedicated lore
That's one way of saying it, sure. You could also say it was fucking dumb.
WHY THE FUCK ARE POKEMON GAMES SO EXPENSIVE HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Should have bought them day one. :^)

oras and XY are the newest games.
For pokemon games gen 5 are cheap
Gen 4 games are ludicrously expensive for no reason.
Which Pokémon can take a lot of hits and/or can cure itself? What do you use /vp/?

Go back to your Smogon friends kid.
Also saged.

I just wanted some discussion and options for my team, other anons may find this thread useful as well.

>25607912
Mega Altaria is my favorite. I've run a set of dragon dance, return, cotton defense, and roost in double battles, and if your opponent doesn't have an immediate way to take it down they're fucked.
How come pokemon with human-level or higher intelligence haven't usurped homo sapiens as the dominant species of the pokemon world?
Because they're smart enough not to.
>>25607922
Wrap it up. Thread over.
Paper-thin defense. Or what this guy said
>>25607922
>there are people who seriously think Gen 1 didn't have any bad designs
>>25607772
That's not even a bad one. Seel's fucking terrible, though, in every single aspect.
This is a Pokemon based on two man-made objects: The Compass and Moai Statues
Nothing about this Pokemon should technically be alive or sentient
>>25607793
>It's thread full of idiots who don't understand design again episode.
Do people actually nickname their Pokemon? I don't, I just leave it with the default name to even remember the Pokemon's name LOL.
I like to nickname them because it makes them feel closer to me in a way. Being unable to rename traded Pokemon is a very shitty thing that needs to die
LOL
I basically never do. Once in a long while, but that's it.
Will S&M have more blatant fetish pandering like B&W2?
>>25607441
More costume sluts hopefully
>>25607441
gigantism isn't that big of a fetish though

For you.
I've played Pokemon for a couple of years now, and just recently begun semi-competitive (and naturally, became introduced to Smogon). I don't really use Smogon, as I like coming up with ideas on my own...but why is it so bad? Is it their tier system? Or their pointers? What is it?
>>25607283
/vp/ literally can't git gud, so it's a meme to hate them.Also Smogon's community has been overun by underage fags and is beginning to turn toxicly cringey
>>25607283
Mostly it's buttblasted Karenfags who get cross that their favourites can't compete with the big boys.
Then there are the guys who get cross that Smogon bans something they deem acceptable, like evasion, OHKO attacks, putting everyone to sleep, Moody, using M-Salamence, Aegislash and the likes
It's casuals from both sides missing the point of what Smogon is supposed to be
Smogon isn't using the best Pokemon to win, it's using Pokemon at their best. The tier system is a way of keeping higher mons out of lower tiers to make it feel more fair. It's totally possible to wreck someone's OU team using a Sunkern, but you gotta know your shit and Pokemon is a mind game similar to that of Chess
The folks at Smogon do their damnedest to balance a trash meta game. Hating Smogon is a meme that shows how ignorant some people are, just as shittalking...
