>>14482036I try to restrain myself from such tinfoilhattery as the one I am about to vomit, but I have to admit that in the morning I really felt as if the devs wanted to 'settle the score' with him by applying features that would make him so terribad, that at the closure of the gen it would be possible to retcon him out of existence without even a single voice left that would care enough to speak against it.
I mean, rearranging the family so that one end of the split would contain superior pokemon with a double reservoir of excellent STAB moves + mega and the other end an inferior pokemon that needs a rare stone to be left as a crippled pokemon IS bad enough.
But Mega Medicham single handedly makes Gallade inferior and redundant in his own niches and functions.
Pokemon catcher is all that is left of interest and that bonus he got only by a sheer coincidence, rather than through GF's careful planning.
