What do you do? For example, who do you hire? Who do you fire? How do you handle development for Gen VII and other games?
Fire Ohmori
Morimoto, Masuda and Unno co-direct
Make him the new Pokémon Design Director.
Allow fan-submitted pokemon and create some kind of giant voting tournament. it will be the biggest clusterfuck ever
Aside from the ones actively designed to inhibit a Pokémon, such as Slow Start and Truant, what is the worst Ability in the game?
>>24738898
At least pick up gets you items
Illuminate doesn't do shit for you and just makes your play-through more annoying
I hate Hustle
anticipation
like oh shit, the opponent has a coverage move. it's not like anyone playing competitively doesn't know the viable moves of every mon anyways
why is it that in the new episodes of Pokemon, every character has to speak after one another, in a continuous loop.
it's like a scene is not complete unless every single character says a line.
has anyone else noticed this autism? it honestly ruins the show for me
Post more Serena in pretty outfits.
Ashnime is shit
>>24738896
no outfit is the best outfit
No thread for the best character with the best theme in the series? Let's change that.

>Ice type
Ice-type moves are good, otherwise why does everyone seem to use Hidden Power Ice or Ice Beam?
>>24738092
stop playing your games in the desert my boy
>>24738092
Because Gamefreak decided the Fairy Type was a better counter to Dragons than making Ice worth a damn.
Let's look at Ice as a type.
Resistances: 1 (Itself and nothing else)
Weaknesses: 4 (Fighting, Rock, Steel, Fire)
This is why nobody uses ice types.
Poké dogs or poké cats?
What about poké rodents?
poké bugs

GF hasnt made a pokecat that is both adorable and competitively good
Mewtwo doesnt really count
If he brushed his teeth would he die?
Don't confuse not-white teeth with unhealthy teeth.
>>24737876
It would be extremely healthful.

Why think when you can just KILL EVERYTHING?
and a neutral 100-speed target is outsped after a single rock Polish
>20 IVs in everything
What the fuck though
Objectively, every Pokemon game is good.
The main games use the same basic formula and still manage to stay interesting and enjoyable, with each game improving upon the last in some way.
Once in a while, we get side games to hold us over when main games aren't enough. Those are also fun.
What's the point of arguing over which game is worst when all of them are entertaining? If you like Pokemon enough to come here, why shit on the franchise?
I'd argue the opposite and say that every pokemon game is bad. They're poor JRPGs and they're even worse as a competitive game, the entire franchise kept alive purely by its monster catching gimmick and the appeal of the monsters themselves.

>the entire franchise kept alive purely by its monster catching gimmick and the appeal of the monsters themselves.
I think that's the point, and the entire reason there's so many spinoffs (most of them being more entertaining than the main series). The new Pokemon games only serve to introduce new worlds, new character, and most importantly new Pokemon.
>>24737733
Exactly. I think the only reason pokémon still has such a huge following despite being nearly unchanged for 20 years is because of strong brand loyalty and fans that dislike change.
I don't think pokémon would have had nearly the same success if pokémon didn't come around until BW or especially XY.
Bunny Thread.
All bunnies welcome.
iron fist + fire punch is better than flare blitz?
Less damage, no recoil. It's a trade off.
>>24737450
As for Gen VI
Iron Fist Fire Punch has the same power that Flamethrower. Flare Blitz is even stronger than Fire Blast.
This said, Iron Fist Infernape with Fire, Thunder and Mach Punch could work factoring Swords Dance. But Infernape is better just dishing out things like Close Combat and Overheat right off the bat.
>>24737450
>252 Atk Infernape Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mew: 169-199 (41.8 - 49.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
>252 Atk Iron Fist Infernape Fire Punch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mew: 127-150 (31.4 - 37.1%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
JESUS CHRIST WHY IS THIS BOARD SO FILLED WITH GARBAGE
Maybe it's because the mainline series has gone to shit and there isn't much else to do but shitpost?
>>24737460
you're the problem
>>24737443
What's shit about it?
Is there anyway beside giving it a mega to make the forme usable?
A special event that lets you become Zen Mode until it stops, instead of activating at half HP.
Or have at first a defensive Pokemon that transitions into offense and not the other way around, Darmanitan.
>>24737279
the best way i've tried is
Darmanitan @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Zen Mode
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flame Charge
- Substitute
- Psychic
- Fire Blast
he gets walled by a lot of shit but i've seen him get a few kills and even sweep a couple times. So what if it was in low ladder?
>>24737279
Cullination did something with it, might look that up.
