X and Y are good games.

If Flygon doesn't finally get one we riot

I realize ROM Hacks are a bit of a touchy subject sometimes, but I like to check out the documentation of the changes, and my favorite running gag is increasing Wailord's sprite so it's massive.

Metagross is a Psychic/Steel type. It is, therefore, perhaps the most hostile Pokémon to Poison types that can exist. It learns Sludge Bomb. HUH??

Saying that someone is the best Ice-type Gym Leader is a bit like saying you're the strongest first grader, but even so I think Candice has a solid team, especially in Platinum. Her team in Diamond and Pearl does nothing to take advantage of the permanent Hail from Snover, but in Platinum, her...

Update 8: Four days later is "soon," right? Right/The Clarivoyant Here's the thing about this run, and especially this part. I've never been a super big fan of the run from the sixth gym to the seventh, and at this point, there's not a ton of strategy to the monkeys. The closest thing to...

Hey, remember this? I do! (Sort of.) Anyways, expect an update relatively soon.

There's a YouTuber I like who does solo runs with just about every Pokemon and ranks them based on time and resets. That's how I found out about the baby Pokemon's movesets in Crystal. Magby: Starts with Ember (STAB move, 40 power) and gets Leer at 7 and Smog at 13. Smoochum: Starts with Pound...

I appreciate the science breakdown (not sarcasm! It was cool!) but I mean more that if you try to push a bear, it's gonna maul you lmao

Go outside after you've done some workouts and shove a sleeping bear. See how well that ends.

I think doing challenge runs basically gives me Stockholm syndrome for certain mons because I went from not liking the Burmy line or the elemental monkeys to being willing to die for them lol

I swear I'm not wishlisting with this, but it's funky how two types commonly associated with Speed (and even have moves and abilities related to Speed) in Electric and Flying have zero priority moves of their own.

This might be unpopular, but I actually like Drayden's main STAB move being Dragon Tail. Is it optimized? Absolutely not. Could you argue that giving his mons a more reliable STAB move should happen at the last (or seventh) fight? Sure. But giving a Dragon Dancing Outrage Haxorus to an AI is...

Greedent just after murdering an opposing Pokémon and seeing another victim sent out for the slaughter: Family guy: heh heh heh heh heh heh an then another heh he heh he #shorts #familyguy - YouTube

I wanna give some praise to HeartGold and SoulSilver's expanded Cianwood City. The group of Route 47, Route 48 and Cliff Cave are quite impressive; Route 47 looking out over the water is beautiful and the different levels of caves and waterfalls have a pleasing sense of exploration.

I think one of the big issues for Johto is it's front loaded. It takes seven Pokémon across three gym leaders to even get to a Johto mon, then you're guaranteed to get through four more Kanto before you even have a chance of hitting another Johto. It really wouldn't have been hard to replace...

The gym leader rematches in Scarlet and Violet tick me off, and it's mostly down to the decision to force their Tera mons to keep the move they had to show off their Tera type in the initial battle. It's mostly because I am a Bug type stan but it's ridiculous that Katy's Ursaring is forced to...

Inclement Emerald has a lot of changes, one of which I think is a bit too powerful but at least interesting. The first, which I quite like, is Overgrow/Blaze/Torrent/Swarm (and a new ability, Vengeance, which is this but for Ghost types) always provide a 20% boost to their respective damage...

If I could light Kalos Route 13 on fire, I would, and I'd cackle at the ashes. Between the blowing winds and the dust cloud encounters (2 of which always seem to have Arena Trap) it's just the worst. Also, the EXP from the mons there aren't great, so if you need to level for Ramos or Clemont...

... Ya learn something new every day! Regardless, think it speaks to the larger point. Powerful, not overwhelming.
