    Fun playthrough idea: using your Pokémon’s worst attacking stat

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 05:09 AM PDT

    You can still use your favorites, but you have to use attacks that utilize their worst attacking stat. For example, physical attacking Lanturn, Special attacking Rhyperior, physical attacking Roserade.

    It makes the games way more challenging and you'll use moves and TMs that you never thought of before. Would recommend if you want to try something new!

    Even harder mode: do this pre gen 4. Special attacking Absol is very interesting in Emerald lol

    Battle of the brains

    Who do you think would win in a chess tournament? (No mega's or alternate forms) The tournament would proceed as follows: Alakazam plays Mewtwo, and Metagross plays Tapu Lele. The winner of each would play 4d chess vs each other in the finale. Who do you think would come out on top.

    What is your favourite Pokemon mechanic

    Posted: 30 Aug 2021 07:32 AM PDT

    In the more recent Pokemon games developers have added certain mechanics to make your pokemon more powerful.

    Mine is definitely Mega-Evolution I love how their design changes and makes them more powerful at the same time, but my least favourite would probably be Z-moves it's just so dull, because nothing changes it's just one powerful move.

    I hate how every Pokémon can learn Toxic

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:59 PM PDT

    It's not even from a competitive gameplay perspective, either. I can prepare a team in advance knowing that my opponent will have at least one poke with Toxic.

    What I can't stand is how every Pokémon can learn Toxic. It makes no damn sense.

    Looking up past posts regarding this topic, people try to justify this by saying toxic is poop, and that every Pokémon poops. I have a few things to say about that:

    1. Throwing poop at someone doesn't give them the status-equivalent of cancer. At worst you'll get E-Coli, but even then the symptoms aren't immediate.

    2. There are Pokémon made of steel, Pokémon made of ice. Why would all Pokémon's feces have the same properties as mammals? If anything, if it were poop, it would change status by type.

    3. No way to confirm this, but I'm pretty sure there are some Pokémon that don't produce waste. One that comes up are the Regis, which are basically robots.

    No it's for gameplay reasons, for "balance", so that Pokémon with crap offensive stats could still be useful. But instead of giving them a lore-breaking poison pouch, why don't you… update them to have an effective means of attack?

    I just hate how every Pokémon learns toxic. I hate facing Pokémon that don't even look like they have any bodily fluids at all, somehow excreting a poisonous substance from a different dimension!

    TL;DR: Toxic isn't broken, it just makes no sense. Poop doesn't work that way.
