It's okay. Paraflinch spam sounds extremely obnoxious to fight but I don't really play Pokemon competitively.

The only pre-existing Pokemon who gained the Fairy typing in gen 6 to suffer from it, since it no longer gains STAB on Tri Attack.

Togepi should've been a standalone Pokemon. Every transformation after that was dumb and unnecessary.

No joke, one of my favorite mons. I've had one with me since Diamond, he's my bro.

Like everything good mega evolutions could have been, but better.

the fairy typing benefitted it defensively. Sure it gained a weakness to poison and steel, but those typings are pretty rare offensively. Togekiss has aura sphere and fire blast which can handle steel types too. Having an immunity to dragon and a quad resistance to bug and fighting is pretty good. Resisting dark is really good too since every team runs knock off now.

One of the best non-legendary/Ultra Beasts in the game.
Really good and well distributed base stats, good ability, typing and move pool.
Some really interesting builds as well.
Classic Serene Grace Para-flinch set or Super Luck 100% crit Air Cutter for doubles.

Paraflinch is for singles
In doubles Togekiss is better off as a tailwind setter and supporter

Nope, straight male.

I primarily like it for gameplay reasons, but it is really cute.

Should Togekiss get Moonblast and/or Hurricane?
Yes to both.

We all know Togepi was supposed to be unique and become Lugia but they pussied out.

Fantastic.

But gens VI and VII are still shit, by and large. Some of the Pokemon were good, and the girls, but everything else was pretty shit.

Amazing games. My only major complaint is not properly scaling the Kanto Pokemon and gyms, but otherwise it was fine.

Give 5 another shot. I didn't like it at first and now BW1 are my favorite games.

In hindsight, forcing you to only use the new Pokemon was a great idea as it made you experiment instead of relying on Pokemon you're experienced with.

Not that cute and kind of forgettable to be honest.
Better than Shaymin or Manaphy tho.

>What is your HONEST opinion on this game?
It's the most overrated game in the series. It didn;t fix the core issues of the original. FRLG is the best example of a Pokemon remake done right.

it doesn't fix many of the issues of the original like the level curve and the weird middle game, and theres some things in the original that i prefer like the lack of natures/ limited ev system which i think is still very poorly implemented for the main game,

I wish Murkrow's base stats were increased, it has so many cool gimmicks but it can't pull them off because it's so weak

>Some pokemon can't be saved by evolutions
There's no cap on stat increases by evolving. Mega Evos just add 100 total stats and a random ability that tries to break the game.

They haven't made a mega since 2014, what the fuck are you talking about.

I got it as a starter during a nuzlocke so I named it "god's gift"

True but many trash pokemon are already third stage
I would prefer if they just increased their stats and gave them more abilities rather than adding evolutions and mega evolutions but gamefreak will never do that, aside from lame +10 boosts

Looks like a panty

How can faggots unironically think that Gen 4 crossevos are bad. Every single one except Lickylicky and Ambipom are each fantastic mons. Most are still widely used and considered threats in the current meta and have been great since their introduction, some even getting better like Gliscor.
The babies are a whole other thing entirely and I think they are all useless except for Budew. Baby Pokemon's intended use was to obtain certain Pokemon earlier, but the babies are either put near the middle where their stats are awful, or late game where they are worthless. Budew is the only one who gets this right, being able to get it before the first gym and letting people get the newly introduced Roserade. Chimecho is fucking awful but they gave it an even worse version of itself, Munchlax is notoriously difficult to obtain, Mantyke is right before the 8th gym, Happiny is useless, Mime Jr is cute but useless, Bonsly is fine but you can catch his evo before you can him so useless

It's neat in a void but it bothers me that Togepi's line goes from angel fairy thing to bird.

Yeah, that was the anime I referred to. It's a neat design. Reading the Pokedex entry explains the stache too, as stupid as it looks.

You say that now but game freak got a lot of criticism for Gen 4 having so many Pokémons that are just evolutions of a Pokémon from previous generations.

They have had the models for well over 8 years and still have done nothing with them. While that argument about having less to do in Stadium games is true, that doesn't dissolve Game Freak of anything. The 3D games all reuse assets from the previous games and no one complains because it looks visually striking. If Game Freak updated animations, poses, and models slightly over the course of the past 6 years we wouldn't be having this discussion right now. They have clearly shown that they are not putting their effort elsewhere in the games, with NPCs still moving on a swivel with nothing more going on than an arm movement at most times. I would have cut them some slack in 2013 and I still do for XY, but defending them now is outrageous

Was really amazing and I remember playing it for many hours but I liked Emerald more, nothing can beat the Battle Frontier.

What?

It's a pretty great game, though it somewhat upsets me that the shitposting cabal has adopted it and to a lesser extent platinum.

Part of my team.
I legit did not know Togekiss was that good competitively, I added Togekiss and Tyranitar along with the Iron dinos because they were cool.

>Yes, Yea Forums realized today is a Groudon day so the threads have slowed down.

Really only Ambipom, Lickylicky and Probopass are meh. It's only unfortunate with Ambipom because Aipom is somewhat of a mascot pokemon, but the other two nobody really cares about.

>nothing can beat the Battle Frontier
but HGSS also has a battle frontier imported from Platinum. Unless you prefer the Hoenn one which is fine, I like Gen 4's more because of how more organised it is as well as the changes added in gen 4 like the phys/spec split
What he's referring to is the /vp/ meme associated with Groudon, "Wow it's fucking nothing". A Pokemon TV show in japan said they were going to reveal new info about Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire live. When the time came it was a 20 second cutscene of Groudon and Kyogre coming out of the water. Now Groudon is synonymous with shitty announcements like today. "Groudon Day" meaning nothing important was shown off today despite being E3

Most of them look good but Rhyperior and Magmotar look terrible which is a shame because Rhydon and Magmar were two of my favorite Gen 1 mons.

Still felt like it could've been better, or at least have some other distractions like Stadium mini-games, that said the Stargazer doubles sure didn't fuck around though. Weird that there hasn't been an equivalent of these games since Gen V onward otherwise, and those plus another GCN game equivalent will probably never happen again with the main series being on the Switch now.

Now I feel kind of tempted to romp through one of them.

I thought they would do one for Gen 5 but by then the wii wasn't worth investing into and the 3DS was around the corner. They themselves said that they wouldn't do another 3D Stadium like game because "seeing pokemon in 3D isn't special anymore" and that the 3DS games got that covered. If you want to play through a GC game i'd suggest Gale of Darkness as it irons out a lot of problems with the first, but i'd also suggest the rom hack Pokemon NeXt Gen. It changes most of the shadow pokemon, wild pokemon, trainer battles, adds new moves and physical special split, new abilities, and more. It's pretty fucking good projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/37672-pokemon-xg-next-gen/

I'll look into that. Suppose there's no real niche left in trading Pokemon back over to a GBA these days?

ehh not really since the exclusive moves you get are usually sing, refresh, helping hand, heal bell, etc. But it's still a nice feature and fun thing to do if you can transfer them to the 3DS. Not to mention bringing in GBA Pokemon to do Mt. Battle and the various post game coliseums is fun
