> The stats of some pokemon were raised Cool, I doubt it will put them in a better tier but occasionally it will help.> New evolution methods The case of Inkay is innovative but the way to get Sylveon IMO isn't and it is no scalable. It is like evolve Feebas in 3rd and 4th gen.> Grass types are unaffected by powder moves It's OK, with some exceptions I never looked grass type seriously due to their wide range of weaknesses, this will give them more use and it has some logic.> Electric types can't be paralyzed I don't get it. I could easily accept if they are unaffected by Thunder Wave but I can't get the idea of they can't be paralyzed by Stun Spore or Body Slam, le electricity flows freely or some shit like that.> Critical Hits do less damage than in previous gens It sucks. Seriously, get crits is not easy and now they are weaker. Also moves, abilities and items for crits are less attractive than ever.> Fairy type I know it was introduced to give more balance to the game because Dragon type was powerful in prev gens, but fairies sounds a faggotry. inb4 it's pokemon.> Changes in the power of some moves. More power for Knock Off, the Pledges and other moves is nice. In the other side it'll be weird don't 1HKO the foe with a super effective hit if the user isn't a pokemon with high offensive, I'm not saying I don't like that change, I'm saying it's a big change. Hidden Power with 60 power base is a borderline number, it's cool that you don't need waste much time looking for a decent power and Technician Roserade can take advantage of it, unfortunately there are just a few Special Technicians.> New Moves Very innovate. In this gen there are a lot of new moves and not only those same power, same accuracy and different type. I liked the new Shield moves, Terrain moves, Sticky Web, a dual type attack, Freeze Dry and so on. Continue...

> Sky battles If you are the Game Freak guy who had this idea please kill yourself, this is a fucking retarded gimmick, what will be the new battle way in the next gen? Aqua battles? Same color pkmn battles? > Mega evolutions We are in Digimon now. Why just don't give alternate forms, evolutions or raise the stats to low tier pokemon, why become powerful pokemon even more powerful.> Custom your character I can't believe we need 6 generations to get this, though it could be better. Post your opinions and remember: just you are right

I love the fairy type. The fairy trainer girls are so creepy. Everyone thinks fairy type is based on stupid pixie modern bullshit but it's based on creepy Grimm fairy tales too. Can't wait for them to get really twisted in the future

>>17601578 Basically crits will be usable just for Pokemon with Superluck in other cases just use Swords dance or even Work up

>>17601652 Yes, sadly. /vp/ has become of the most cancerous boards on this site, however many of us have moved on to other places.
I guess you can say this is Reddit 2.0

>sky battles Seriously fuck whoever came up with that shit Most people carry one Pokemon that can participate in sky battles and others have nothing All it does is limit the use of Pokemon To make it even worse the trainers are the highest level in that route and have 2-3 Pokemon with moves to counter your one Meanwhile Korrina has nothing to damage a ghost

It's not the fact reddit butchered them, it's the fact people still use it.

>Power nerf/buff in some moves I'll be frank, as a frequent Knock Off user, this is currently my most disliked change in the game. Most of the moves with the accuracy of 85 or lower have nerfed damage, making it incredibly less rewarding despite hitting and absolutely assblasting when it misses. Also, why did they have to nerf Draco Meteor? Isn't a 2x Sp. Attack drop bundled with a 10% chance of missing balanced enough? Like I said, I don't specifically hate this change, since they made moves like Incinerate actually slightly viable in competitive battling and such, but nothing should of been nerfed. in muh onionpinion.

>>17601764 Yeah I hate the fact they've been overused and are still going strong mainly by the same people that would call a game released in 2012 "old"
I don't really see the big deal with posting one image when you're required, it's just giving it unneeded attention by commenting on it
It's like OPs asking for a pokeparents thread

EXP. Share is one for me, EXP is just handed to you this gen, with everything getting 100% of the EXP if they are in battle along with an early Lucky Egg and the Amie EXP bonuses. They may as well give us lv 100 starters.
The game overall seems really dumbed down and the characters do nothing throughout the poor excuse for a story.
