>>39041895>do you also count arceus as a separate pokemon for each type depending on which plate it's holding? what about castform, is that now four separate pokemon?No, Arceus isn't a form switch because it doesn't change forms at all, only types.
Castforms type changes are a built in unique element to it so they're not different either, just like how I don't class Ditto as an alternate form just because it can change into any Pokemon.
Megas straight up have different designs, different stats, different abilities and different typings. For all intensive purposes they are a new Pokemon, albeit a temporary new Pokemon.
>graphics are extremely relevant in this case because masuda used them as an excuse for cutting pokemon. I know he did, and he's a retard, the graphics are obviously shit. I don't know why the fuck he would try to use that as an excuse tbqhwy and I'm not interested in defending him because of it.
Outside of his comment though, graphics literally are irrelevant. As far as I'm concerned I've never liked a game because of its graphics, I'll play anything as long as it's good in more important areas like gameplay and music.
Trolling aside, gamefreak is going to cave on this national dex shit despite there only being a small outcry. When that happens, people will go back to crying about graphics but unlike the national dex cut graphics are literally a non factor.
Wanna know what happens when I see a low poli tree or some shit tier animation for an attack? I literally couldn't give a fuck.
>items and abilities were both removed from legpiss, but even if they stayed, the meta would still be stale as fuck considering the more limited pool of pokemon to choose from.Can't believe I actually got the removal of abilities right, I wasn't even sure and I couldn't be arsed checking.
Without abilities and held items the meta will always revolve around 'unga bunga best stats win'.
