>>51634022>Good thing I have above single digit IQ and realize there are moves other than ground type to useFair, but given the flying type that precludes a lot of grass, bug, and fighting Pokemon from being particlarly useful as well. Between the ground and electric resistances, and the weakness of water types that aren't Seismetoad, that leaves unevolved Pignite, Darumaka, Gigalith, Woobat, and Sygilyph as Pokemon with no real issues dealing with it. And it's not like BW has been skimping on Pokemon after the first gym either (before the first gym is in fact complete garbage).
>There is no "finding yourself" theme anywhere outside of her character.That's also Cheren's deal, it starts literally on the next route after Nimbassa. We can argue that's also N's thing, given what he learns over the course of the game. I guess it's more about how Pokemon influence that sort of thing, but given the game this is that's a given.
>Based XY actually lets you play the game instead of forcing its garbage story down your throat like BWI mean, XY takes longer than BW in general, so I dunno what's slowing the game down so much. If you want to time out every single interuption in both games, go right ahead. I should note that when I said "the only thing that happens in the game", I meant that in a positive way. Shalour is arguably the most positive impact any of the interruptions in all of XY. Every other one is really lame, like the "ghost story" thing that just wastes your time and is was less cool than the Lost Hotel on the immediate next route, and the Lost Hotel isn't even mandatory so I dunno why they bothered.
