Kanto was meant to be part of Japan for a while it just wasn't that strongly made a connection. Gen 2 being set in "the rest" of Japan originally was probably because it was a jrpg sequel. The best way to show it was a bigger world, was by going across the entire continent and reframing the...

She's considered the Top/First I assume because of her ELO I don't mean that as a joke I mean that since she rose to the rank of champion far fewer people have gotten the rank themselves and it sounds like she routinely enforces that when checking in on the other leaders and E4s and I guess the...

Yeah it started going south in a hurry, and his Brick Break also did not help. I think I had to send Mabosstiff in several times to initimidate him to give me some breathing room it also did not help that my only water answer was Arboliva. Who I think I did terastalize, but, well, you know. Ice...

Yes?

I think Rapidash-G looks nice, rather than ugly, but also yes it absolutely should have had wings. Like everyone wanted pegasus Rapidash to begin with and now we've got My little Pony rapidash and its like it wants wings even more, without needing an evolution Hey remember when the reveal of...

I think it's called layered -or sometimes dynamic?- music, but I don't think it's necessarily harder to do these days. Plenty of games will go in & out by setting up songs to activate/deactivate layers or provide bridges they can go into. Mario & Zelda in particular like to turn parts on/off or...

Let's be fair here, in a situation where every single gym battle was a Doubles battle it would still be snowbally because you're doing it to 2 of your Pokemon at the same time instead of just one.

Speaking in terms of in-game Megas probably feel more broken because their design ethos is "what if this specific pokemon was busted". There's multiple layers of design going into them, from ability to minmaxed stat allocation to aesthetic design. So you're looking for it and that makes...

It's definitely not a super overbearing mechanic which was nice. Yeah yeah yeah they ~should have made the bosses use it better~ whatever. It had a nice sweet spot for me. Shoutouts to Clavell whose Tera Water Quaquaval beat my ass in.

Episode: Arven continually put off as the writer's room goes back & forth on if they should just pick one professor to focus on or grab both e: By Grab Both I more mean, do they make both of them jointly responsible for the issue and also maybe kill both and make both into an AI. Since...

If we're focusing on the "flavor" of the move (cleanliness! bushy tails!) then I'm going to gesture at Buizel & Aipom (whose tails are not bushy as already noted), Greedent (the opposite of clean), Zacian/Zamazenta (who despite having the tails for it I'm shocked even got the move, tbh...

I can see the logic but to me the way they work is too different to really apply it.

well worst case they can just import another region's legends. Sinnoh had one million sub legends and still felt the need to import 3 others and then add a new one for Hisui. Or, hell, just reuse the birds again considering they were in XY to begin with. I am still on the A-B-C legendary...

Ganondorf & Bowser are also playable characters and transform in their final smash, and got those transformations as bosses. There is a reason I brought up mega mewtwo Y and also those 2 in the same conversation here.

To be fair, if there was a Pokemon boss they probably would have had at least one route actually based around fighting said boss regardless of who it was. & yeah Marx was in Dark World alongside Dracula & Ganon (all 3 had their own areas, though marx's was only tangentially related to Milky...
