JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ARE YOU SHITTING ME.
>Sky battles
I use a load of flying types and I still think this shit is pointless
It's fine if you happen to enter it at one of the times of day where there's no wind, and actually a pretty cool route if you happen to lead with a Ghost type.
But it's literally the worst shit ever if you don't happen to have either of those apply to you.
The two large riding Pokemon routes are pretty terrible too with their awful controls. Skiddo one is great and I wish you could ride one everywhere.

Deino evolves into Zweilous at level 50 or so. Larvesta takes 8 levels longer to evolve once, longer than Deino.

At least in gen 5 you didn't have to run around grass and water looking for that 6th pokemon you forgot you ported.

I don't get it. What's wrong with Rock Climb?
>>27079284
The more HMs there are, the more pokemon you have to cripple with subpar moves.
>>27076364
In Pokemon GO there's a prevalent bug when challenging a gym that random pokemon will glitch and be perpetually stuck on 1HP and you'll automatically lose because you can't deal it damage and the gym will either 1-way you or it'll time out.

Only 4, count em, 4 tiles will actually have Feebas, and it will randomize daily
What the FUCK

>>27079319
>he doesn't use HM helpers
>>27083964
It's its gimmick.
>>27075989
The entire HM system in general is incredibly dumb and poorly implemented. There HAS to be a better way to do it. Even having physical checkpoints a la Indigo Plateau that check to see if you have certain badges before letting you proceed would be better than arbitrarily locking the usage of a certain move behind a plain old badge.
The real problem is the logic behind the moves themselves. There has to be a way to group certain moves into categories like "cutting moves", "rock-breaking moves", etc. Cut, Slash, X-Scissor, Razor Wind, Air Cutter, Air Slash, Cross Poison, Dig, Dragon Claw, Fury Cutter, etc. should all be able to get through trees. Mega Punch, Close Combat, Comet Punch, Force Palm, Drain Punch, Giga Impact, etc. should all be able to get through breakable rocks.
As for stuff like Fly and Surf, it should be useable from the start. You should only be able to fly to places you've been before, and surfing is only useful if you're able to actually enter the place that is across whatever body of water you're crossing. An idea I had is that you need Pokemon of a certain size to be able to fly/surf but I'm not sure if that's too restrictive.
WHY DID THEY MAKE FAIRY RESIST BUG?
DOES IT MAKE THEMATIC SENSE? NO, IT DOES NOT.
DOES IT MAKE SENSE IN TERMS OF BALANCE? OH FUCKING SURE, BUG NEEDED THE NERF LITERALLY A SINGLE GENERATION AFTER IT GRADUATED FROM "SHITTIEST TYPE EVER" TO "I GUESS YOU CAN USE THEM AND GET AWAY WITH IT SOMETIMES."
WAS IT THE ONLY HIT BUG SUFFERED? FUCKING NO, TALON "I AM SINGLE-HANDEDLY RESPONSIBLE FOR KICKING A LARGE NUMBER OF FLYING-WEAK MONS OUT OF OU" FLAME WAS RELEASED THE SAME GENERATION
WHY CAN'T BUGS BE USABLE? I'M NOT EVEN ASKING FOR THEM TO BE ABOVE AVERAGE, JUST SOMEWHAT ACCEPTABLE.
FUCKING GOD FUCK AAAAAAAAA ETERNAL SUFFERING OF THE KEKED BUGFAG

Calm down

???
I swear this shit made me think for the longest that attacks had physical and special split like since gen 4. Rough skin/effect spore getting triggered by special contact moves didn't help either.
It's not like GF didn't hide game info before. Like gen I didn't tell anything about the moves ingame, gen 2 didn't have accuracies for moves, IV's and EV's.
>>27085057
>Bug type is still good
Oh? In what way? Defensively?
>weak to Fire in the current meta that encourages Fire types through their Fairy resist
>weak to Flying in BRABE BURD meta
>weak to Rock in a meta when both SR and Rock attacks are common thanks to the aforementioned two points
The Ground and Fighting resistances are nice enough, and pair well with a Steel type, but literally EVERY type enjoys a dual-Steel type. Steel is stupidly fucking broken as a defensive type. This is not news. So maybe you meant offensively, then?
>resisted by SEVEN FUCKING TYPES
>SE against Psychic, which is increasingly uncommon in the Fairy Era
>SE against Dark, which is admittedly nice in these Knock Off times
>SE against Grass, oh boy, now I can beat those stallish Grass types like Venusaur, Amoongus, and Ferrothorn! Surely nothing is wrong with this statement!
Bug is fucking GARBAGE. Some individual Bug types are good IN SPITE of their type. Not one benefits from it.

I love this meme. This isn't Fallout, faggot. A region can be based on an IRL location and still have differences.
>>27085737
I never said it was literally New York, I'm just trying to derive humor by comparing it to what it's based off of. Not even sure what you're calling a meme here.
Here's something I found funny. Each region has varying climates like deserts and snowy areas that doesn't really make much sense geographically speaking for how small they are. The pokemon world is a geographical nightmare.
Plus I'm pretty much pointing out the exact same thing OP is but I don't see you shitting on them.

I was replaying X and wanted a Magcargo on my team. But the Badlands only have 2 rocks you can smash and not only are you constantly bombarded with battles (some which can happened before you even take a step!) but sometimes the wind picks up and you cant move fast enough to grind the rail over to the area where the rocks are!
Fuck that place.

The fact that there are types that don't resist itself
Normal is fine
Fighting is fine
But why not rock and ice resist themselves
>>27088794
Ice does resist itself, in fact it's the only type ice actually resists.
>>27088794
>Rock
You can break a rock with another rock
>Ice
But anon, Ice is the only resistance Ice has.
>>27085577
In other thread some anon make the claim that
>Fighting types = Shonen Heroes
>Bug Types = Sentai Heroes
>Fairy Type = Mahou Shoujo
If you only think about Fighting and Bug resisting eachother, you can say "sure, Heroes don't fight other heroes", but then Fairy fucks them both.
I'm all about putting a clear stop to Draco Meteor/Outrage spam but making Bug even more difficult to use, is a kick in the gut.

How the fuck is Ice not super effective against Water
How the fuck does Ice suck so much
>>27083923
>>27083964
>>27084094
The gimmick is that Feebas is ugly and so hides from people. I thought ORAS' solution of finding it in the water tiles under bridges was clever
>>27090747
I haven't gotten that far inMemeSapphire yet. Did they actually get rid of the stupid random tile bullshit?
>>27090449
Ice is still water you know
>>27090939
By that logic, so is flying.
>>27077166
To be fair, most insects in real life spend the vast majority of their lives as larvae, with the "adults" often only living for a few days, living only to mate, lay eggs, and die. Sometimes the adults don't even have mouths because their lives are so short they don't even need to eat.
Volcorona is the most accurate bug-type pokemon.
>>27090972
>birds are water
>>27090939
Yeah, but most Ice attacks, aside from the snow ones, deal with extreme cold. Why not make water more susceptible to being frozen, or ice super effective against water? It's not like water types need a buff anyway
>>27091147
I agree with your reasoning desu
>>27091147
Freeze Dry exists specifically for it
>>27091147
I think Water should be weak to Poison because pollution kills aquatic life.

HOW ABOUT GET RID OF ITS ROCK WEAKNESS? OR MAKE IT FUCKING RESIST WATER? LIKE CHRIST.
>>27089538

>>27096684
Make it resist Fairy. Fairy could do with a bit of a nerf.
>>27096901
That would be fine but the only way to nerf Fairy is to give it another weakness. Making one lonely type resist it offensively isn't a big deal at all.
>>27096908
>No longer resist Bug
>Weak to Psychic
>No longer SE versus Dark
There, fixed.
>>27096955
That sounds like too big of a nerf. I'd give it another resistance on top of those changes and I'd say it's good.
>>27096955
The Bug resist is fucking dumb. Bug's already NVE on too many things even without that.
>>27096684
Solution:
>Super Effective moves are only 1.5x damage if it's not STAB. (3x if double SE)
>Basically if you're the same type as the move, you get normal 2x-4x + STAB
We do this, and make Ice super effective on Water-- Problem solved. Give Ice mons more of a reason to exist over any other mon with Ice attacks.
(Although it should resist Flying like, come on Game Freak--)
>>27096971
Psychic coverage is rare, honestly, nothing uses it. Plus, it even makes sense with the other parts of type interactions. Psychic types are strong against faeries because they don't believe in fairy tales anymore, and deem them fictional nonsense.
