I want the silhouette of a Pokemon. :3

WELL YOU AIN'T GETTIN' ONE.

 

[Sandfox]

I don't really want Gamefreak to change much about the battling system but they tend to make interesting but welcomed changes so I trust them with that.

 

[Diprosalic]

no we do not need a good cat pokemon, we need pokemon cat edition where all the pokemon are cat pokemon.

 

[GameE]

At most there'll be a tease on Smash. There's no way they're going to scoop their own announcement by two days.

I thought the games were usually announced on smash or corocoro?

 

[YAWN]

no we do not need a good cat pokemon, we need pokemon cat edition where all the pokemon are cat pokemon.

BUT WHAT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE AGAINST CATS!?

 

[ffdgh]

what we really need is a good cat pokemon. can't believe that they didn't come up with a single one of those.

...Entei? Raikou? Suicune <3?

liepard with its dream world ability is fun too.

 

[Neo Child]

i think its time for a REVOLUTION, like big change of a game please

 

[Pachimari]

I don't think we'll get anything from Smas so I'll watch the anime and follow this thread at the same time.

those are dogs mate.

 

[Qurupeke]

Catdogs.-

Things can change and do with this franchise. Right now they have said the announcement is the 8th. Even on Smash.

 

[ffdgh]

those are dogs mate.

AHEM....

Entei is a lion
Raikou is a tiger
Suicune <3 Is lepard

or gerbils

 

[PataHikari]

Magnemite and its evolutions switching types and Alakazam getting its stats nerfed were pretty basic changes

Wait how was Alakazam's stats nerfed?

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Wait how was Alakazam's stats nerfed?

Since the "Special" stat got split into Special Attack and Special Defense, Alakazam became a lot more squishy.

 

[Diprosalic]

AHEM....

Entei is a lion
Raikou is a tiger
Suicune <3 Is lepard

or gerbils

even if they are i want good house cat no tiger or lions. no gimmicks, just a cat.

Please someone post here once the Smash anime episode is over, thanks.

Also, Masuda seems very happy that foreigners are watching Pokémon Smash, lol.

Do I download viewer or broadcaster?

Snorelax is squishy tho.

Glassy would be more accurate lol

I think it's over. At least on me it show a Pokemon battle between the hosts.

Not just foreigners, but a bunch of foreign grown men.

Cheers, thanks!

Edit: Awesome, Pokémon pizza!

 

[Pachimari]

Shouldn't Pokemon Smash be on for at least 2 hours?

 

[ColtraineGF]

Delicious Pokemon Pizza

Shouldn't Pokemon Smash be on for at least 2 hours?

Naw, only an hour.

Hmm, I'm not expecting anything to be announced. Though, it's hard to concentrate, I'm splitting my time between lots of sources lol

 

[Qurupeke]

Delicious Pokemon Pizza

Gotta agree with this. :3

 

[Delio]

I dont expect anything from Smash. It's why im just not watching it.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Oh, so that's the trailer with the announcement at the end...

 

[Andrefpvs]

Yep, the announcement teaser always appears at the end of the BW2 trailer... interesting.

Well, Tuesday it is, then.

 

[ColtraineGF]

In any case, nothing came as expected.

*Sets alarm for Tuesday*

 

[Qurupeke]

Nothing... So that means that the announcement on 8/1 is very important, right? :3

 

[Berordn]

Some may disagree with this but i think for the casual player those changes are bad and i dislike them as well. When you have won the game it's great and adds a whole new level of customization to your pokemon. When you are just running through the singleplayer i just get annoyed because i am playing with really subpar pokemon most of the time.

Even if you like that stuff it barely adds to the SP campaign anyway.

EVs and IVs being subpar for the campaign means nothing. Natures as well, if you really don't care. But held items and abilities can give you a lot of customization and strategy, no matter how you play.

I don't like the IV system, and while EVs are annoying at times, I'm largely indifferent toward them. But abilities and held items are gigantic improvements that shouldn't be ignored at any level.

 

[Zaventem]

More ghost/ mixed ghost,steel/mixed steel types is what i'm hoping for.

 

[Demoli]

is there a lstream fro this smash thing? My hype is through the roof.

 

[PataHikari]

Poison needs a buff, right now all it's good for is fighting grass types. Maybe make it strong against fighting types or dragons.

Poison doesn't need to be stronger. You're forgetting about a type's defenses.

Poison is resistant to Bug, Fighting, and Grass. (And itself but whatever)

Bug and Fighting Pokemon are pretty powerful, and being a dual type generally adds these pretty useful resistances to Pokemon.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Eh, it's done already, nothing of note.

The hype date is locked at the 8th, it seems.

 

[Slamtastic]

[Watch Da Birdie]

Fighting is Light type in Japan, so I guess it's good guy always wins.

Um, this isn't true. :0

Fighting's just Fighting in Japan. In fact, most of the Gen 1 Fighting-types are pretty vicious looking...Primeape and Hitmonlee for example.

 

[B-Dubs]

Since the "Special" stat got split into Special Attack and Special Defense, Alakazam became a lot more squishy.

Physical-Special split also means he lost the elemental punches.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Just a head's up...

ZOROARK HAS LIKE ZERO CHANCES IN SMASH 4 BECAUSE HE LOST POPULARITY HAHAHA!

Physical-Special split also means he lost the elemental punches.

Not really. It took Gen IV to do that (since even though Special is split into Satk and Sdef, type is still reliant on attack or special attack)

 

[TheOGB]

Calling it: Gen VI will take place in PokeUK, will have fully fleshed out Unova as post-game, and alongside the 2 main 3DS versions will be a DS-"exclusive" version effectively serving as BW3 and Gen 5.5.

Spoiler

But seriously, could you imagine?

 

[Sigismundo]

Y'know for those that wanted another trio to replace Grass/Fire/Water you could always want Rock/Fighting/Flying. It's not like pure-Flying's never been done before and it's not as edgy as Dark/Fighting/Psychic.

 

[789shadow]

I just want the follower Pokemon back. Why remove it?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

They won't do Rock.

It messes things up, because Rock is resistant to Normal...all early-game Pokemon tend to use Normal-type attacks, thus Rock would have an unfair advantage from the get-go.

That may actually work if pulled off correctly.

 

[JordanN]

I'm not a competitive player, so I don't know what would be tge consequences of such action, but I think Gamefreak should remove the Dark-type immunity to psychic. It doesn't make any sense of why a creature that fight pragmatically is immune to invisible magical brainwave laser beams.

I imagine it has to do with dark types having minds full of evil. So if a psychic pokemon tried reading their minds, they would lose focus.

 

[zroid]

Because Game Freak is cruel

 

[Neiteio]

Yep. The whole "mind clouded by darkness" concept. Although I wouldn't say Dark-type Pokemon are "evil," per se.

 

[Sigismundo]

They won't do Rock.

It messes things up, because Rock is resistant to Normal...all early-game Pokemon tend to use Normal-type attacks, thus Rock would have an unfair advantage from the get-go.

Then how about adapting the monkeys into a Rock/Fighting/Flying trio and giving them out before/after the 1st Gym? You could give them all No Guard or something to link them together (this is more for vs others/competitive play than in-game).

The monkeys were fucking terrible so this could be a way to improve on them.

And (as much as I would love it) I don't know about Dark because of that full on immunity to Psychic.

That was such a troll with that old lady's Mienfoo in Humilau
