What we need are more ??? moves. Maybe even a ??? pokemon. (maybe the Unown could change types...)

why exactly? every time I come across someone asking for a new type, the only reasoning is 'because it would be cool', despite the fact that the types are reasonably balanced already and work quite well. they would have to introduce so much stuff if they wanted a new type this far along.
 
Re: Pokémon Improvement Thread

It would add an interesting dynamic to the game. haha I'm just kidding it would be really neat.

But I do think Fighting needs to be less broken, as much as I love it.

every single usable physical fighting move has a drawback. every single one. well not brick break or sky uppercut but sky uppercut's a bit of a rarity and who wants brick break when you can have CLOSE COMBAT except oh wait, drawback.
repeat with every other physical fighting move ever

compare to special fire which has flamethrower. perfect accuracy, nice base power. or fire blast. not the best accuracy in the world but at least it doesn't have recoil should you miss!!

this generally gets fixed on the third game of a generation. (In fact, as I recall Emerald did it quite well) Sometimes it isn't completely (like in freaking Platinum!!!), but sometimes Game Freak does okay at fixing this.

Well, in Emerald you still need some Nintendo passes and events and stuff to get Mew and Deoxys, and (if you don't have another game to trade from) Lugia, Ho-oh, and Lati@s. I still wish you could get every Pokémon without having to go to a Nintendo event, especially because by the time I get around to playing the game, those events don't exist anymore. I can no longer go to an event for Emerald and get Deoxys. =[
 
Re: Pokémon Improvement Thread

drain punch, sacred sword, storm throw somewhat, situationally low kick, cross chop's not bad.

rock and flying have it worse, I'd say.

This. I cannot seem to get a Wi-Fi connection no matter how much I try. And I wouldn't buy one of the Ranger games or the like just to get one Pokemon for my main series games. Mostly because I'd probably have to use my money. And to do that I'd have to have the money first.

Also, a Gym Leader specializing in Dark Pokemon would be nice. But that's a bit selfish, because Dark's my favorite type. (And there are some Elite Four members, so...)

How is it wierd?

Because you don't need both? GF doesn't have to please the competitive battlers all the time and Hydreigon is a ass-kicking machine already anyway. If you desperately want Ground attacks, go mixed and use Earthquake, it won't kill you.

Besides, you can cover half of Ground's coverage types easily with Surf and Flamethrower. Electric isn't that much of a bother if you're using a Dragon Type, and Poison is...well, Poison.
 
Re: Pokémon Improvement Thread

Poison is so screwed. I'd like it to be doubly affective on Water (you know, Pollution?) and Psychic, because Psychic's weaknesses are all fears, (Dark, Bug, Ghost) and we fear illness as well. Poor poison, needs something good to it's name.
 
Re: Pokémon Improvement Thread

incidentally, is it not possible to get an earth power/dark pulse ditto by transform glitch, then send it to gen 5 and breed a deino?

don't know enough about fifth gen to know anything about sacred sword or storm throw. :/ (didn't even know they existed til just now)

rock and flying have it worse, I'd say.

true true. but are they so much better than fighting is the question
 
Re: Pokémon Improvement Thread

Poison should be super affective against more than just Grass Pokemon. Maybe it'd work against Fighting types? I also wish that Nintendo would do away with the concept of event legendaries. They should all be available without waiting for Nintendo do release those things. I also agree with what someone above me said, Flareon should finally learn Flare Blitz. Also, more games with a VS Seeker. It's a pain having to grind on wild Pokemon.
 
Re: Pokémon Improvement Thread

Did everyone forget Nimbasa City exists? Good money, good EXP, sometimes even good items all congregated together. If you have Black, there's also Black City (I am wishing I had Black now; White Forest is a pain to upkeep.) VS Seeker is a pain in the arse with the recharge times and failure rate.
 
Re: Pokémon Improvement Thread

nimbasa is terrible; there's a few good trainers with good pokemon and the rest are level 60 base stages that give about 500 exp a pop. going against the E4 with the one pokemon you're training is tedious but it's how i did it and i've got nine level 100s already.
