ITT: Dumb shit Gamefreak does.

What was the point of making Lycanroc evolutions "exclusive" to one version if you can still catch the alternate one in the wild later in the game? Why not just make it a straight day/night evo split like Espeon/Umbreon?

What I want to know is why the hell one of them is a relatively great Pokemon and the other is fucking absolutely worthless.

Daytime form has solid speed and a priority move from one of the best offensive types. It's not incredible but it certainly isn't shabby.

Midnight form is fairly slow despite being a horrible defensive typing and it doesn't even have a true signature move. Counter is used better by many, many other mons and is a gimmick at best in the first place.

Why does everyone dickride this thing so hard? You think it's Accelrock makes it comparable to Weavile and its Ice Shard, when it's much more similar to Buizel and it's Aqua Jet. Kabutops is better than this fucker but you don't see it climbing out of NU.

that was a glitch because GF sucks are programming

they made it so every wild pokemon that can't breed has 3 perfect IVs instead of every wild legendary (none of which can breed)

i don't know why they never bothered to patch it until ORAS or why they didn't just keep it, it's not like anyone likes raising baby pokemon and this would've given incentive

The worst offender is Flyium Z. You just FIND it in a fucking cave.

Worst of all, one of the Elite 4 is a Flying user who you NEVER see during the course of the game. If she had been a trial captain and made you play golf or some shit, then you see her as an e4 member, it would have been fine.

But no. Just a literally who tacked in there.

Also, it's not exactly like E4 members get seen before the end of the game normally. This gen was a particularly special case.

I'm really curious what the fuck was going on with the final trial. After six memorable trials, it's just kind of tacked on and the totem Pokemon doesn't even match the trial captain's type. I wonder if it was a last-minute change of some sort or if Gamefreak was just being lazy.

There is so much they could've done. I don't understand why they gave Mudsdale Not Earthquake when High Horsepower could've more interesting and thematic if it calculated damage with the user's defense instead of it's attack stat. Boom, Stamina and HH became more useful.

>>30181631
They only ever advertised the Normal-typetrial being different in each game. They never said they were version exclusives. I remember some retard saying that Drifblim and Mismagius were confirmed exclusives, though.

Me too, and I would be ok with getting some of them after a quest that isn't a trial (like beating Guzma), not just finding them pretty much randomly. We could get the flying one from Kahlii at any point in the game, maybe after some longer Team Skull section and with her mentioning that she was asked to come back to Alola, foreshadowing her E4 inclusion. Much better than it just lying around.

I wish Rapidash was one of the pokeride options, either just a very fast one, or with use related to fire - maybe lowering encounter rate by 50% since some wild pokemon would rather avoid attacking something engulfed in flames, which would make Rapidash the fastest to travel around without using repels. Or jumping up the slopes to show its agility compared to Mudsdale.

Instead we get fucking Machamp that looks ridiculous and is used for just a few 'push the stone' puzzles.

Theres an NPC trade for a poliwhirl holding a waternium Z. What's weird is I took the waternium off of it and now I only see one in my bag even though I didn't even get the poliwhirl until after completing all the trials on island one.

Also, speaking of complaints, there's a lot of blatant cut content, like wela volcano.

>Huge volcano
>One trainer at the base
>Enter cave
>Immediately exit from a cave facing a different cardinal direction at the top of the mountain.
>Healer there congratulates you on making it up to the top
>There's a winding (as winding as you can get in alola) back route down the mountain that can only be accessed from the top because of the ledges

There was clearly a wela volcano cave section of the game that was cut relatively late in the game.

You know, the one thing that annoys me about sun and moon is that it's obvious a lot of the version differences were completely tacked on at the end of development.

NPC's talking about the sunshine when it's clearly night in Moon
Ratacate's trial using Gumshoos' cry
And it was obvious these two were originally day/night evolutions but GF just went 'Uhh actually make them exclusive'. It's just so bizzare.

Ok, have rarity for things like the pseudo legendaries or Pokemon like Pikachu, understandable.

But then making it so that every route is full of Pokemon nominally from Kanto while all the fucking natives have a 5% chance of spawning, what?

IMO it's absolutely the biggest flaw of the games that you have to go out of your way to find new pokemon.

This is just begging for all the kids playing the game to end up with a hall of fame team showing the free Snorlax, the Starter, and four Gen 1 pokemon.
