>>57928134>ignores the message to hyper-fixate on details and seetheHow does that discredit Garchomp's ability to fly faggot? You keep falling off the topic at hand, to sperg out like a mentally deficient spastic. I'm well aware sweaty neet shut-ins don't use it in smogon. I'm ALSO well aware it trivialises game challenges if you're the player and increased the bullshit quotient to have an NPC hit you with it (because I don't think I ever saw a two-turn invulnerability move on an NPC's pokémon, meaning even Game Freak know that kind of shit's not fun to face). The sooner you realise they don't actually give a shit for comp (in as much as it's never going to be balanced and tweaked to suit the tastes of neet shut-ins), the more you'll understand about how they build their critters for in-game play (Dragon Rush - shit accuracy, draco meteor - slightly inaccurate, guaranteed to make SP. Attk useless if used twice). That includes not giving something they purposely created to be good rather than an also-ran shitmon that needed all the help it got and then some.
>>57928035The Gen 1 book's been replaced canon-wise by and large. Only shit like pokémon shrinking and the rough creation date of Poké Balls continues, in case you missed it animals and the real world were culled from the game world before the game launched and the series two Gens later starting off with a whole series reboot of the presented universe. And that still ignored the difference in context between "Pokémon" the title of the series and Pokémon, the creatures found with the series and games, which was the point I was making. Die in a fire lease, too many rteraded monkeys running around without people trying to cosplay as them too.
