>>37024738>Having nothing is nothing. 20% Poisoning proc and lowering defense is not nothing. Let's be clear on that.But it is. At that point of the game. "Let's be clear", Pokemon AI doesn't know how to use "tactics", not even in any facility. Offensive, speed or evasion up are the only things they can do. A slow Pokemon like Sandslash would rather attack with a good move and go down than use goddamn Poison Sting. What's that gonna do to you? Nothing, especially since the "Poison expert" a few fights before was much better considering she uses Toxic.
>Right and they fixed the three move issue by Yellow nearly 20 years ago and have kept it that way ever since until now, They fixed it? They gave them shit instead. You know what E4 Gengar with Night Shade? A third of your HP or more. You know what Lick does? Nothing. Golbat didn't learn much in RBY, but still. Haze to fuck your stats up. Bite to flinch you, even if it's a miserable 60 BP move. Yellow fixed? Yellow took out Haze and Confuse Ray from Golbat to give it a justifiable Toxic and then gave it LEECH LIFE. What did a 20BP move "fix"?
>Are you talking about his starter eeveelution and which unevolved Pokemon?No, i'm talking about almost every E4 in the series using mons such as those. You know, like Bruno who has been using TUTORIAL Pokemon like Onix for a decade. You know how good it is to see that they finally gave him a Poliwrath instead of that piece of shit? And then in gen 4 you see an E4 with Yanm...NO. There' s a guy with DUSTOX and BEAUTIFLY. At the fucking E4. Thank god Platinum took out that trash for Yanmega and goddamn SCIZOR. Glacia from Hoenn has a Sealeo. Not two Walrein.
I'm all up for the guy in this thread asking to give them an actual fourth move that's good. But to pretend that selection of moves was good until the recent games, that's laughable and idiotic. You know i see people defending BW Marshal's Conkeldurr having Grass Knot and Sawk having Karate Chop?
