>>12042952>The metagames already fucked beyond repair, the best people can do is try to make the best out of a game that wasn't really made to be played super strategically.Pokemon is really nothing more than the most complicated set of rock-paper-scissors logic you've ever seen. Types have advantages and disadvantages over one another, a type's defensiveness and offensiveness are balanced between a mon's access to moves of other types vs STAB bonus for similar types, attacks are split into physical and special and mons have different areas of defense, etc.
The game is nothing BUT tactics. It's just sloppy, which makes sense given the limitations GF has to deal with.
I don't think it's even fair to say "pokemon is imbalanced, the OU tier is only like 50 pokemon". Shit nigga that's a LOT of fucking fighters. Most competitive games don't even come CLOSE to that level of diversity.
But GF is also trying to make a compelling single-player game and that means you need gimmicks and niches and power scaling.
>I mean they're only so many type combos you can go through.GF hasn't gone through half of them, and a good quarter of them appear RARELY and on more or less unusable mons.
