what the fuck is this shit

So it's an open world with no level scaling, which is pretty cool.

It also means abilities like Run Away actually have a point now, you can rely on them to get away from Pokemon trying to slap your shit.

I was suspecting something like this the second they said you could encounter a bunch of high level Mons very early in the game via the Wild Area.

>powerful
>4x weak to rock, 2x electric, 2x fire, 2x flying, 2x ice
>stats are defensively oriented
>shit attacks
>it's typing is one of the worst to have for attacking
powerful my left butt-cheek

>has max IVs and is double your level
would definitely be considered "powerful" given the context of the game

a decently leveled and buffed poke can ko a vespiquen regardless of level
or you can just spam substitute/toxic/protect/recover or what have you and stall it out
what's it gonna do, tickle you to death?

One shot you with attack order faggot.

>80 bp
>vespiquen laughably low sp.attk
>bug move, almost everyone and their mother resists it
>most likely go first anyway because slow as fuck
>any fucking rock move
>dead bug

Oh how dare they give us a challenge?

I mean if you are like level 15 with only 3 pokemon and this thing is high 20's/low 30's it could easily slap your shit

The wild area level scaling is big. You can encounter Pokemon of lvl +50 I assume. Because of that, a restriction for catching them is given depending on your story progress.

everyone succumbs to sturdy/toxic/protect spam
especially ai
it will die easily regardless

Vespiquen's stats are plenty to turn your Pokemon into mulch she's 24 and your Pokemon are 12

*if she's 24

>having toxic and protect at level 15

>she

vespiquen are female-only
only female combees evolve
kind of like real bees, it's a matriarchy

We get it. You're a badass pokeguy. I hate to tell you this but the games aren't designed for people like you.

>dangle a rare pokemon in front of me
>tell me I can't catch it
cool feature

woah...is this the dark souls of pokemon?
wow

>70 HP/102 Def/102 SpDef

Stats wise I don't see anything wrong with them calling Vespiquen strong. It's probably in the Galar pokedex since a defensive Bug/Flying type is pretty unique.

Having a bee that's the same height as you but much wider than you flying right at you wanting to murder your cute rabbit would be kind of horrifying.

These stats equal to like what ember doing 1/6th of vespiqueens hp?

WHAT'S STOPPING YOU FROM JUST GETTING A LV. 60 MON EARLY AND GLIDE THROUGH THE WHOLE GAME???

Vespiquen is looking for her king

The same thing that stopped you from graduating 4th grade

But why though???

I figured out why they did this

>wild area is clearly important to the game
>needs to scale with story progression so it doesn't be become completely irrelevant due to the player outleveling the Pokemon like with normal routes in previous games
>instead of having the stronger pokemon appear over time as you reach major story progression points (the smart thing to do) they just shove all the pokemon into the area from the start to save time

fucking hell this is retarded. What if it's a shiny pokemon? "TOO BAD U CANTU CATCHU IT YETU!"

fuck gamefreak holy shit this is the laziest entry yet.

Reading

Don't even care about them when the ability to transfer Pokemon in is limited.

Probably to stop you from gliding through the whole game.

This is going to be the worst part of the game easily.
Arbitrarily locking the player out of capturing certain pokemon until they get some upgrade is going to feel terrible.
Why if you get a rare shiny and you manage to get it to low health despite the level difference by playing smart? You'll be locked out of even attempting a capture because the game said so. You need to only capture the pokemon you're ALLOWED to.

Because gamefreak a dumb
If you do manage to farm some of these guys it has the same net result of you being overleveled
Shit in pokemon mystery dungeon super one of the first real expeditions you get access to is an optional fight vs a level 50 salamence with 500 HP
You can cheese it with 5 blast seeds and have a level 50 dragon raping everything while you are in your mid teens
It also opens up a path to recruit a 50 dragonite to

>you won't even be able to throw a Poke Ball
I was wondering how they'd balance that. Nice to see that they're actually trying.

>look open world
>haha you can't actually play nonlinearly
Fuck this shit.

more like 1/8
not even 1/10 if your nature is Adamant like in your pic

So let me get this straight: Game Freak makes evolved Pokemon accessible in the Wild Area, but you can't catch them until you're at a certain level. Why? Just fucking why?

>Complain about pokemon being too easy
>"Okay here are some very strong pokemon that will fuck with you in the early game, and you can't catch them and cheese the game with them until later."
>"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

The one thing I hope they remove is EXP share. Shit made the game way too easy.

That's pretty easy.
>"Oh, you need to have X badge because otherwise this Pokémon won't obey you."
>"ok.jpg"

>start the game, catch a level 4 Rattata and a Weedle
>find a level 50 Gengar in the wild area
>it has only ghost moves, rattata is immune to everything
>wait until it has no more pp for its attacking moves then switch to weedle
>use poison sting and poison it
>wait for it to die and catch it
>you now have a level 50 pokemon 10 minutes into the game.
This won't be game breaking at all.

Hahaha you fucking think there isn't a free escape button in these?
