>>52836495>Game freak clearly knows HOW their own game worksOk Anon let's make it clear just how retarded GF are:
1. They believe Pokémon should deliberately have "flaws in their design" to be memorable not realizing they are memorable because people remember how shit they look.
2. They seem to believe shitty pokémon add to the world like Anon said
>>52836702 and that is probably why they refuse to buff some types like bug forever leaving them in shit tiers
3. They made shinies be randomly generated for over 4 gens and refuse to change the ones that look the exact same as the original (Gengar, Garchomp...)
4. On the other hand, they change perfectly fine shinies for no reason (black and golden Oddish, purple Charizard) so they ARE open to the idea of changing shinies
5. BDSP
the list goes on
>>52840010The point is that they should be shitmons in-game but should also STILL be able to work in SOME capacity if you build your team around it. You don't need to increase a mon's BST to make it good, just give it unique abilities or moves that can work well under certain conditions. But that requires creativity in the gameplay and balance departments and GF has monkey working on those.
