>>55625802> Then why was every single dark type move in gens 1-3 made physical in gen 4?Because GameFreak are autistic. The platonic ideal of "Dark Type" is evil type, the counterpart to psychic, but most moves involve fighting dirty so they became physical in gen 4.
> Your reasoning is compshit and comp is gay>EVs are unintuitive and require excessive grinding to optimize.You don't need EVs and IVs outside PvP so why do you care? IIRC all the enemies have 0 IVs and 0 EVs during the main campaign.
> yes. is there a problem? if something new comes along that does what you do better than you, you don't get to say you're the best just because you were first.The games as a whole are the peak, while you might enjoy Gen 4's frontier more, there are facilities in Hoenn that don't exist in Sinnoh/Johto.
>there's locations reached by water routes but the routes themselves are devoid of content. even diving isn't enough to make them interesting because there's nothing down there either.There are encounter and items... Idk what makes them different to land routes ro you?
> I didn't say that. you're just making shit up now.You said that you can ignore it. I countered saying that it's good that you can ignore bonus content (i.e. hidden strong pokémon) instead of getting them handed to you for free.
You CAN ignore the extra content BUT there's a price you pay, you miss some of the strongest pokémon and some useful items.
> epic backpedalNot a backpedal, I don't have an issue with the water routes.
> you're putting a lot of effort into defending a gen that isn't your favorite.I've replayed the games from gen 1-7 at least 3 times so I'm familiar with them and their strong points
