As things stand Pokemon combat can't be more interesting.
>>47314342 this wouldn't work as well in pokemon sadly, it would be just like VGC is.>>47314453If your team loses to quick claw/king's rock it doesn't mean your team is bad. It also depends on what and when the item was used. Just check skill link cloyster for more info into rng screwing matchups.
>>47318369This is true. Pokemon don't really interact with anything other than other pokemon and very few field effects that usually don't bring much strategy to the table. And when they bring a lot to the table the next installment has said effect nerfed.
>>47319248Tabletop allows more freedom in the aspect that you can interact with the environment. This is a given but creative strategies don't work well in Pokemon else metas wouldn't be as stale as they are, but they work in Tabletop.
>>47324328Gyms, evil team admins, evil team leader, elite 4 and champion are the bosses of pokemon. And alola did them better with totem pokemon being applied to the formula. Sadly we have regressed, yet again, in the next gen.
