>>38754515Ultra Prism and Celestial Storm were better than anyone gave it credit for but really you're looking all the way back to Gen 3/4 for when the game actually had a lot of stuff viable.
Realistically it's not hard for them to properly scale a series of Stage 1 and Stage 2s over various types and sub-strategies and half-overthrow TTGXs but they've fucked the game to the point where they need to do ALL of the following
>ban Reset Stamp>print Evolution-exclusive efficient search>discontinue TTGX and just stop scaling non-GX basics better than evolutions full stopThen you realise it's a business that apparently is penniless one week to the next so they MUST print 300HP basics in the ultra rare slot or they'll have to make the entire office redundant overnight.
