These thoughts have been shifting through my head for a while, I figured I'd make a thread and get some discussion going.
Gen Vi brought some interesting shifts to the game overall, most importantly
>new Fairy type
>auto-weather abilities nerfed
Now, in my mind, neither of those actions were at all essential.
>dragon is too stong
Creating a new type was stupid. Nerf the dragon time, give the Ice type a boost, give more pokemon ice type moves, create some GOOD ice types, create some Dragon killer abilities, etc etc
I can think of dozens of ways to fix that problem.
>weather is too strong
Give more Pokèmon Cloud Nine; create additional weather nerfing abilities or moves, create other weather effects, and abilities
I mean, maybe I'm butthurt, but Game Freek seems lazy and stupid.
Then there's the matter of the powercreep overall.
>massive over centralization of the game with only a liited number of usable pokemon as the game continues; meaning more and more pokemon are simply 'shit'mon.
I think it the powercreep is inevitable. But the solution is to bring overall balance to the game, by giving weak pokemon a powerboost.
But instead of nerfing so many pokemon, they just need to rebalance the game overall.
All those Gen 1 and Gen II pokemon that are no longer viable because shit stats?
re haul their BSTs, so that they're in the same BST range as "good" pokemon nowadays (so....every FEP would have a BST of...500 and above?)
I think there need to be set BST ranges
Box Legends-600+
Legends and special pokemon 600
High ranking pokemon- 525-580
Starters -525
Low tier FEP 500-520
something like that.
There are also alot of pokemon so suck because of their shitty movepools.....like Luxray.
Great stats, decent ability, but it doesn't have good attacks to back itself up.
Your thoughts /vp/? I'd be great if there was some sort of consensus reached....maybe we could make enough noise and reach Gamefreak.
