>>45222710Yeah, like I get the nostalgia tax they gotta deal with but then you get stuff like the gen V ice gym that had five trainers who only used cubchoo, vanillish, and cryogonal. And the leader was just 3 pokemon with the midstages for those as like the 7th fucking gym leader or something.
I'm still fucking livid. It's not hard to just give the player an xp share all and 99 exp shares and everyone wins but noooooo.
>>45222775Some people just never connected the dots for a belly drum aqua jet azumaril sweep.
There's other fun stuff like giving a magic guard Sigilyph a flame orb and psycho shift so it can burn shit then go nuts with cosmic power, roost, and stored power. Or using psycho shift, lightscreen, dream eater, and hypnosis to cover safe pivoting
Poison heal breloom went a long way to compensate for its fraility once you chucked a poison orb on it.
And let's not forget how Harvest in the sun let you actually get use out of natural Gift slinging out 80 bp attack of any type which was most of the time a wet farm unless +2 or higher boosted
Another I think that really flew under the radar was people not connecting the dots for hydration. It's hard to blame them cause it's fucking retarded to get it on bulky mons. You could have an iron defense or amnesia or coil gorebyss, curse lapras, amnesia whiscash, stockpile dewgong instantly recover from rest in the rain to be able to chug through whatever.
To a lesser extend, shed skin resters were a thing too. Crafty could be such a nigger.
2021 and arbok still doesn't have venom drench. LaughingMasuda.gifWe all know how much of a problem serene grace was and if the game wasn't so shit, it'd be kino to have a liquid ooze around for the rare draining enemies.
>>45222773Masuda and Ohmori really just need to die. Even within trying to use 1-3 dex worth of mons you can still create a better experience with better ability, move, and item picks to create more dynamic fight experiences.
