  1. "If you design a quest where I need to follow an NPC and they move SLOWER than my running speed but FASTER than my walking speed you are banned from making video-games for one year"
  2. Huh.. Well I never used Hidden Power anyway.. At least this change makes it somewhat usable, tho' I wouldn't bank on it either
  3. Here you go: There's also instructions of how to use it too, be responsible with it tho' and only use it to change a Pokemon IVs, EVs and Nature, don't go too crazy and start spawning items or such because this may break your game, you've been warned (Also don't try to get the pokemon's IV and EVs above the usual as well, this will bug their status and get them into negative numbers, 31IVs on everything and 510p of distribution on EVs is the limit).
  4. I would actually totally disagree with @ArcBolt27 there.. Nature, IVs and EVs are almost a requirement if you are playing in any other difficulty than Casual. Nature increases your main attribute by 10%, IVs can give you up to an extra 31p in an attribute by Lv100 (which is huge BTW) and EVs further increase both of these status as well, you can have a Pokemon with base 100 speed be slower than a Pokemon with base 90 speed just because of Nature alone and these do change the tide of battle pretty heavily.. Specially in late game as gym leaders start having Pokemons with 31IVs in everyting and EV trained and, at some point, even going beyond this limit. Look, I would suggest downloading the debug-mode, it can allow you to change your Pokemons IVs and EVs so you can skip this grind, I don't recommend using it for anything else since it can be quite buggy and basically no one here will look down on you for using it if you're just cutting down the grind but if you don't wanna use it I suggest you either get to grinding or change the difficulty to Casual.
  5. I am also curious about that.. My guess is that it can hit x4 since it's suppose to change to the enemy weakness and if a enemy has a common weakness with their duo-typing I recon it would choose that, I don't think it's always x2 or else the nerf wouldn't be needed, it probably always try to go for the x4 if possible, if not it will choose a type that will do x2, if that's the case then Hidden Power can be a powerful clutch for Pokemons lacking coverage.. I myself never used the old Hidden Power because of the complications of getting it on the right typing and I believe most people who did had it probably cheated (which is understandable since it's so freakin' grindy).
  6. @nonsensei @pizzagod13, they already changed how Hidden Power works, according to Bulbapedia, "Hidden Power's base power is now 50. Hidden Power now changes it's own type to be super effective against the opposing Pokemon", that change was made exactly because they already removed IVs and frankly I prefer it much more than the previous version, it's much more reliable now and less grindy, I mean, try getting a pokemon with 5 IVs on 31 AND the Hidden Power you want, that's PAIN. As for Trick Room, I feel like it's a small price to pay to get rid of this ridiculous grind.. I mean, it's even more work to get your pokemon to have 31IVs on everything and 0 on speed for Trick Room..
  7. I feel like I banged on this drum way too many times but IVs are pointless.. EVs have the whole build-making process to them but IVs are just a complete waste of time.. Legend of Arceus ditched IVs all together and there's a strong possibility gen9 will do the same.. So, is Rejuvenation (and heck, maybe even Reborn) going to ditch IVs? It kinda takes away from the experience when you have to stop the story to breed pokemons or having to use cheats (debug mode).
  8. I voted "Yes" for these reasons: - Freeze was very random, either locking your Pokemon until it faints or disappear right away, RNG ain't fun, yo! - It had no practical usability, most moves that give Freeze only has a 10% anyway so capitalizing on it was near impossible, a status like Paralysis is good for faster pokemon, Burn for strong physical attackers, Toxic for bulky stallers but Freeze had no usability at all and no one EVER relied on it. - It counter balances Burn pretty well, while one lowers Attack the other goes for S.Atk, it was always easy to just burn a strong physical attacker and rend it useless but the same was not true for special attackers. - It just makes sense.. Ice burns.. However there still one major issue and it's the fact that there's no move that has more than a 10% chance of applying Freeze/Frostbite, if we want to cripple a physical attacker a simple Will-o-Wisp will do but there's no move for Freeze/Frostbite so I feel like if you gonna go for the replacement you should also create a move similar to Will-o-Wisp but for Freeze/Frostbite.
  9. @Dark Champion, I sure hope they come back.. It gave chance for pokemons that would NEVER be viable, like Mawile or Kangaskhan, the mechanic was fairly balanced too since it was pretty easy to predict which Pokemon was the mega and that it couldn't hold any items that could take you by surprise like a Focus Sash or a Choice Scarf which made it predictable and easy to counter. @bruhtonium, Yeah, I always wish they implemented the difficulty slider everyone is always asking about, a lot of people grew up with this franchise and keeping it in "gaming journalist" mode forever for the new players (and children) is kind of a bummer.. GameFreak should realize by now that a lot of it's costumers aren't just children but grown adults, specially considering the competitive scene.. So having the choice to pick and choose a difficulty for the story would be nice, I mean, X/Y was a joke.. Gym Leaders had 3 pokemons (The grass type even had a Weepinbell) and the elite 4 only had four pokemons each.. It could go something like this: > Easy - How Pokemon currently is right now. > Normal - Gym Leaders have between 4~5 pokemons (depending of how far in the story) and the Elite Four and Champion always have a full team. > Hard - Gym Leaders have 6 pokemons, their level gets raised to the same as their strongest pokemon and battle mode is locked on "Set". I would LOVE to play a Pokemon game like this, if this get implemented on Violet/Scarlet you can bet your sweet bottom that it would get me excited to it for once!
  10. @Dark Champion and @bruhtonium Sorry, I should had been more clearer in my explanation, when I say I am worried I mean as myself, I know the series is doing well, it always does, but, for me, it isn't, that's why in the end I said that maybe I am just getting old.. It really deviated from me being so excited I would camp near a game store that was in a mall in the next city just to get the game in release day to me not giving a damn anymore and not even caring.. It went from "Wooo! A new pokemon game, YEAH!!" to "Oh.. Another one.." The first Pokemon game I played was Gold, then I went for Yellow, in these days I was a young child living with my poor family so I used emulators to play it, my favorite was, and still is, Ruby and Sapphire, by the time gen4 and 5 came out I alraedy had a job and could buy the games myself, gen6 was when this decline started, it was mixed for me, I really like the megaevolutions but the story and difficulty had a decline, I mean, do anyone even remember the motives of Team Flare? It was so stupid and vague anyway no one cares.. But tho' I liked the megaevolutions that's when Pokemon started to add these gimmicks, gen7 had Z-Moves which I thought it was kinda random, like, OK a super powerful and flashy move looks cool but do I really have to put an item on my Pokemon to use it only ONCE per battle? And the whole "no gyms" thing was weird as hell.. It was here that I kinda stopped giving a damn.. When gen8 released the only reason I played is because my brother-in-law let me borrow the copy, I knew it would be too easy so I put a bunch of handicaps on me, to make it exciting, no grinding, no gygantamax, full Normal-Type team, nuzlock and I still felt, nothing.. Just.. Nothing.. I beat the champion and couldn't care less for the post-game, that's when I gave the game back to my brother-in-law.. And now I am seeing these gimmicks on Arceus, the Hisuan forms, the Agile/Power Style and I am sure none of these will ever come back anyway so why bother?.. And gen9 is already looming at the end of the year and I am sure I have zero expectations for it myself, I am sure it will sell like hotcakes but not for me.. In conclusion, guess I am really getting old.. It's that same feeling when you play an MMO and really love it but over the years it gets so many updates it's totally different from what you fell in love with in the first place, get where I am standing? Damn.. Am I at the point of starting a middle age crisis over POKEMON of all things?? But it makes me feel conscious of my situation.. I really dislike the direction the game is going but everyone else loves it and it's always a best-seller.. Now new gens for me are, like @DemICE said, just to add new pokemons, moves and items to reborn and rejuvenation..
  11. Sword and Shield came out in 2019, the DLCs for gen8 came out in mid 2020, by that time we were already teased of Legends of Arceus, right now we are at the beginning of 2022 and Legends of Arceus is released already, it's not even a month (it will be by tomorrow, February 28) since that game came out and there's already a teaser for gen9, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, to be released at late 2022, probably around Xmas and I am worried about it's future.. Is Pokemon gonna becoming like Fifa or Maden with yearly releases? I feel like GameFreak is rushing all of this.. There were already plenty of concerns when gen8 came out, mostly the controversia over the pokedex being massively incomplete and Gygantamax being a random mechanic just for the sake of novelty that I am sure won't exist in any other game since the story of Sword/Shield itself says these are only possible in Galar (unless they backstep on that), I myself thought of the mechanic being pointless since we already had MegaEvolutions and Z-Moves anyway (they felt like a fusion between the two tbh) and then these 2 mechanics were totally dropped outta nowhere, gen8 doesn't even mention them, so I was already concerned if Pokemon was going to be creating new gimmicks for each game and abandon them the next, heck, I think Hisuan forms are exclusive only for Legends of Arceus since, canonically, the Hisui region no longer exists.. I am very worried of Pokemon's future.. So far I haven't felt any excitement over the main series and the only releases I look forward to are fan games like Reborn and Rejuvenation.. I am sure a lot of people will disagree with me, and that's fine, maybe I am just getting too old.. Also, up to this point I never cared about graphics but, damn, how does Pokemon still looks like a WiiU game?! There are so many gorgeous looking games on the Switch, why is pokemon the only one who looks weirdly outdated??? There are indie games that look better for Christ sake..
  12. Pretty cool! Legends of Arceus just kinda launched out of nowhere, huh? Well.. Not many mechanics in there can be implemented in the style of Rejuvenation other than the pokemons itself, the moves, abilities and maybe items.
  13. You will need to go back to Valor Mountain after that.
  14. It needs to be after acquiring a certain number of badges now, I don't know how many tho..
  15. Yeah we literally just heard of him as one of the gym leaders that got pretified, we never actually saw him
  16. Where do I buy gaming shampoo in other flavours? I can only find Mountain Dew, Doritos and GFuel ones..
  17. New devlog shows the look of Talon and he has an Australian accent
  18. Talon's Ace is an Emu.. Not a Pokemon just a regular Emu
  19. Hoy, m8!! I mean, I was wondering when we would "depretify" him.. Sure wasn't expecting an Australian accent, that got me! Calling it now! His ace will be an Emu, not a Pokemon, a regular Emu!
  20. Aww.. They deleted my grocery list.. I went to the market and didn't remember everything I had to buy.. That was meean! Those guys from Xen are probably going to show up on v14, I hope? Or maybe they won't since it feels like they are just suppose to dispose of deserters anyway.. Heh.. Deserters in the desert.. I see what you did there, Jan..
  21. It might complete her memory but the quest might have something more to it.. At least that's my belief, I might be wrong, I might be -very- wrong or I might be right!
  22. For more that I want the Ana quest to get to a conclusion I have the feeling that Jan won't finish it on v13.5.. Like he said, 13.5 is to mostly just add the new content from the SnS DLC, tho' I am hoping I am wrong.. But, who knows, maybe he'll at least give some update on the quest, even if a small one.. But I have the feeling that this quest will be bigger than it looks due to Dylan being a elite 4 member and such..
  23. I am assuming 13.5 won't have any MAJOR plot significance, it will still have things related to it but nothing major, Jan will probably leave that for v14, so I don't expect any explanations on the Interceptor role for the gang really and, hey, if I end up wrong at least it will be a pleasant surprise, like not expecting anything special for your birthday then go to work and have a surprise party at the end of your shift (or something, I am getting old, leave me alone!)
  24. Like @RocketOSullivan said.. Water resists Ice but, for some reason, Ice doesn't resist Water.. It would make sense if both of them resist each other since Ice is literally Water in a solid stated but, hey ho, what do I know?! If Ice had 4 resistances it would immediately go from the worst type to a reasonable one as it is effective against 4 and also weak against 4, it balances out.. Most of the worst combinations are with Ice like Rock/Ice or Grass/Ice..
  25. I think Ice should resist Water the same way Water resist Ice.. Also, why doesn't Ice also resist Grass and Flying is one of these GameFreak decisions you just don't understand..
