>>52644085>People have been malding about Aurorus being a shitmon for years exactly for this reason.Only if Game Freak wasn't such an absolute tard when it comes to Rock-type Pokémon.
- only had ancient power until gen 8 which brought a two-turn move that can miss
- shitty typing for a slow Pokémon to have
- couldn't have Aurora Veil in gen 7 for some asinine reason
- Game Freak took away Rock Polish in gen 8
- gen 9's Snow buffs Defense which would be very good for Aurorus's 72 defense (too low IMO) and Terrestialization would let it have a different typing but the Pokémon is conveniently absent
- gen 9 doesn't have Meteor Beam so even if Aurorus does come back the move isn't guaranteed to come with it
- Hisuian Avalugg shows that Game Freak doesn't care if Rock/Ice is shit
- "all Pokémon are important" is just TPCi PR bullshit
For fuck's sakes I don't want to give up Aurorus as my favorite Pokémon no matter how hard Game Freak tries and I'm not tolerating their bullshit.
