>>38244429>You sound like a boomer. Gen 1 isn’t the only gen with bad Pokémon Not a boomer. Also, I know there are bad newer Pokemon, it's just that the majority of Gen 1, 2, 3 and (to a certain extent) 4 are not competitively viable
>NoObviously not every Pokemon needs minmaxing, but it will help bring some shitmons into relevance. Most modern Pokemon are minmaxed anyway, which is why I suggested it
>Good luck trying to justify that without saying “I don’t like them”Mega Evolution doesn't solve much in terms of making older Pokemon relevant and usable in modern metas. Some Mega's are shit such as Mega Audino and you can only use one Mega per team. This means despite Charizard and Pinsir (just as an example) being in OU, they can't be used in the same team due to this restriction. Game Freak made wayyy to many Ultra Beasts and gave all of them Beast Boost, which is a broken ability. This means pretty much all teams have at least one Ultra Beast and commonly multiple
>This is even more retarded than the make rock mons absorb rocks. JUST. USE. DEFOGDefog is hard to fit into some teams. Most Defog users are Flying-Type, which means they are bad for getting rid of rocks. This won't completely nerf the viablility of Stealth Rocks, but will make them less oppressive to certain Pokemon
>Why?Because the Tapu's are on literally every fucking team, that's why. The surge abilities are almost as OP as weather back in 5th Gen and are in need of a nerf. This is just another example of a non-diverse meta with the same strategies being used over and over again due to ineffective and few counterplay options
>Grass isn’t a bad type. Get over yourselvesGrass is a pretty bad type, especially defensively. Grass needs a buff because of the amount of weaknesses Grass has and comparatively lack of resistances. Also, Game Freak keeps making bulky and defensive Grass Pokemon which suck because Grass is a shit type
