Kalos had the same number of Pokémon revealed before the hatsubai and we got 71 new Pokémon and a plenty of Megas.
The worst thing is Alolan Forms are Kanto Exclusive, is like the high number of Kanto's megas isn't enough, they want us to ingest Kanto Mons again and this sucks.

HMs have always been a cancer.
Dropping one of your team members for an HM slave isn't fun, especially if it's somewhere where that Pokemon you dropped could be getting decent amounts of EXP if they were there.

>just teach ur team members the hms retard
Yeah and lose out on useful moves that you're either have to waste a Heart Scale on or get a new TM for if you're playing a game below Gen 5.

The fact that HMs are seemingly being phased out is a god send and if you don't agree you should legitimately consider suicide.

Not him, but why is it bad to remove HMs? It's not like it's casualisation because you either threw it on fucking anything you could because it didn't really matter, the games haven't ever been hard enough that losing a move or two on a Pokémon made a difference. Or you had a dedicated HM Slave that just sat as fodder for you to heal shit later.
The depth they added were more like a shitty pothole, and they're archaic at best. It's fine to have obstacles, but there's nothing wrong with getting past those obstacles without requiring a move you're stuck with until you find the move deleter. That adds nothing valuable.

You forgot the part where the Pokémon they recolored were already shitmons and they gave them even worse types, stats, and abilities.

>you get a 4x weakness!

>everybody gets a 4x weakness!
>and we'll be taking back that ability that almost kind of makes up for your shitty stats too!

I'm now convinced that Masuda is deliberately trying to see how many objectively terrible design choices he can squeeze into the game and still have it print money, there's no way the people in charge of the games can possibly be this fucking ignorant about how they work.

Literally at least 60% of the list is peoples' favorite pokemon already. They didn't need an upgrade.

A much better idea would have been give real cool evolutions to shitters that nobody uses.

Charizard was well remembered but was shit before his mega. There was no honest reason to use him. And Tyranitar had a shit mega Tyranitar with a choice scarf is better. And tell me who was actually electing to use Kangaskhan or Mawile before their Megas. Same with Lopunny or Pinsir or Medicham. Heck even Metagross needed the boost

I wasn't talking so much about the "meta". That's a nice thing that autistic people like us know about. I was talking more about which mons are popular, usually those big starters/3rd stage evoltions/legendaries.

Also I'm aware they did put some shitmons in there to revamp them which I'm happy about, but a lot of them honestly didn't need to be a mega they could have just been a straight up evolution. Once you put a mega on something it blocks it off from potential future real evolutions.

Because they became far too mundane. After what, 22 games following the same formula? They were rarely difficult, and the 'puzzles' stopped being interesting. After that long, something new had to happen. The issue I've had with the games is that they've become more and more like you're playing an anime. The trials I've seen seem boring, but I think I'll take them over doing something I've done 20 times before.
That said, I would much rather be able to battle gyms in any order I want to, with them having different pokemon and levels that scale with my team in order to keep it interesting. I'd also much prefer it if it did actually adopt the trait of using 3 Pokemon to battle a gym from the anime.

I'm still upset they decided to (seemingly) axe the gyms and stuff, but not the evil team. I mean, I'm all for getting rid of gyms (at least for a while), but the evil teams are much worse in that regard. It's so tiresome when you know the overall plotline will be exactly the same over and over again. Some intro, minor intrusions, some "major" happening or two and then some final confrontation with the legendary. Make it stop, please. You can at least do some creative stuff with the gyms.

Have you ever worked at a company that makes what is essentially an art product? (games movies, blah)

Most of the people that work there are more interested in their salary and making the boss like them than if the game is a turd, let alone if they make the fanbase hate the company. They know it will never come back to them.

The only people that care are heads of companies that have been there since the outset and are emotionally invested in some way.

That's the paradox though. To introduce this thing you need to start with Pokêmon that are recognisable and popular. I mean give it to Maractus and people will be nonplussed rather than excited. Also there are Pokémon like Beedrill who are three stage lines, need drastic help and can't get an evolution. Also with Eviolite being an item you have to be careful introducing new evolutions because what's stopping the Eviolite prevo just overshadowing it entirely. It's happened with Chansey and Dusclops. In doubles it has happened with Clefairy and Rhydon

Because I can. What sort of backwards bag of dicks thinks of a question like that and then dedicates the time to typing it out without thinking "nah this is fucking dumb, it doesn't matter, i won't type that"?

They probably didn't want to diverge too much since no Gyms is already a huge change Evil Teams make it easier for them to come up with a framework for the plot. Hopefully is people like the Island Trials that will give GF more legroom for change.

There are still people who think not all pokemon should be good. I don't get that. Why would one want less variety competitively, to fill Smogon's shitty tiers?

The thing I've always hated about gyms and E4 is that they never feel like a challenge.

I'd rather have more bosses like the evil team villains, where they don't use a monotype team.

The Alolan form that isn't a down grade or at least as viable as its original form is Raichu.

I don't like level scaling in most games, so I get that, but I'd say the sense of progression comes from evolution, moveset, and stat increases (EV bonuses), not the level itself. It seems very different in Pokémon than it does in other games. Maybe it's just because I hate overleveling, but battling gym leaders that you don't crush seems like an appealing change to me. You'd still get the sense of progression from the routes not scaling, but all battles that are important should feel important. It's easy to carve through a gym like they're random NPCs. Even my nephews find the games boringly easy.
That combined with team changes could easily add a chunk of replayability that no other mainline game has come close to.

This is my only real gripe with Alola forme's so far, but I'm counting on them having useful hidden abilities. Otherwise, what's the point in making them if they're worse than the original?

That's not so much a levelling scale complaint as it is an AI level and just general difficulty change.

I feel u tho, the games are a bit too easy recently. I always thought the great thing about pokemon is you can ease the difficulty yourself if you want by overtraining the fuck out of everything in grass. The base difficulty should be hard, then kids will just overtrain if they cant win. That's what I did.

You have way too much of a competitive outlook. This isn't about viability.

It's about having a variety of types in the regions. In-game, when you're fighting a trainer's Lurantis, your Alolan Sandshrew will be way better than a normal Sandshrew.

Megas were a good idea for certain Pokemon where it wouldn't have made much sense to give them a new stage (Charizard, Mewtwo, Tyranitar, Kanghaskan, etc.), but certain Pokemon such as Mawile and Banette would've benefitted more from an actual evolution. Mega Mawile is different enough from the original to be a convincing normal Evolution, desu.

You never had to, horse battles were always a faster way to raise your EVs than super training.

What I want is the ability reliably get evolution stones without playing that shitty minigame or the shitty browser minigames.
