Fuck you GameFreak goddamn

"List of Pokémon that are exempt:
Non-Flying types. Pokémon without Levitate. Pidgey, Spearow, Doduo, Dodrio, Hoothoot, Murkrow, Delibird, Taillow, Starly, Chatot, Pidove, Ducklett, Fletchling, Hawlucha"

No Hawlucha, no Chatot, no Beedrill, no Venomoth. And Farfetch'd too? Who the fuck else is exempt for no real fucking reason?

Fucking Fuck FUCK I'm so mad. I was so hyped for Sky Battles, but now it hurts my OCD AND I can't use my bros. Goddammit mother fuck.

It seems they are only including Pokémon large enough for a person to fly on.
…uh, are Butterfree or Masquerain allowed in Sky Battles?

So basically it's Pokemon who already have flying animations in regular battles it seems

Seems they were too lazy to make separate flying animations for Flying types who usually battle on their feet. I understand Farfetched has to hold his leek, but they could put it in his mouth or something.

Maybe they'll add it in a third-version.

Basically any bird pokemon they couldn't be assed to create a flying animation for can't participate in Sky battles.

Game Freak confirmed for laziest developers of the century.

Yet they came up with 3D models for 700+ Pokemon.

Yeah, lazy indeed.

What is the fucking point of sky battles? How is it any different than a regular battle besides the poke restrictions? Like mechanics-wise, is it any different?

Does using smack down automatically win the battle or something?

they don't hate farfetch'd

Farfretch'd fans just can't comprehend that he's an allegory for making a poor decision and has been for the last six gens.

You're supposed to regret getting him, that's why his stats are shit.

But Farfetch'd is based on a saying about good things happening to you.

It's also a saying about making terrible choices.

If farfetched was a random pokemon that had an ultra low appearance rate and had good stats perhaps he would represent a fortunate happening.

But because he's shit and is traded for using a superior Pokemon it's gamefreaks essentially calling you an idiot.

The joke in X/Y is farfetched is found in the wild the next route after the trade, making it all the more worthless.

He still lives up to his allegory. A duck holding a leak makes a terrible choice, for he is all the more tastier.

>Perhaps this, too, has relevance to Farfetch'd. Trading away a Spearow in order to get the otherwise-unobtainable Farfetch'd seems like a very good deal indeed. But Farfetch'd doesn't evolve, has quite poor stats all round and is of very limited use. Spearow, on the other hand, evolves into the far-superior Fearow, which proves to be a viable competitor throughout the game. Viewed in this context, might the duck in question be the player themselves, having traded away a potentially strong Pokémon for one that's all but useless?

Because Magikarp is based on the legend of a coyfish becoming a dragon

Farfetch'ds destiny whether a symbol of luck or bad decisions is duck soup.
