Personthing Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Mudkip and Gastly have been axed? I guess I'll have to find a different water type to use on new playthroughs... Although, not many water types aside from Mudkip appeal to me, (and no way am I waiting until Ametrine to get Totodile on files I don't feel like messing around and trading myself one) so I may just keep an older episode lying around... I've never used Gastly, and don't plan to, but I always liked what goes on in it's event. Edited May 20, 2015 by Mighty Kamina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howin Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) I'm just happy we finally got a nice and powerful Starmie and Breloom, Now I wait for Gengar, Gyarados, and Venusaur to come back Wait, do people think getting Gengar isn't possible right now? I literally just found it yesterday. Edit: Oh derp you mean they were cut from EP15, my bad. Edited May 21, 2015 by Howin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilegend Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Is there an explanation for why some Pokemon are being cut from the game? Or being made otherwise unavailable? I can understand Gyarados at the start of the game, it being a top-tier Pokemon with a great moveset and all. But Gengar? Why? I hardly find it threatening enough to be removed from the game considering how late he's obtained. It's currently on my in-game team, and even then he'd be the first to go. Heck, I'd even understand if Drillbur was removed and Gastly made an event Pokemon. Could be just me, I don't think it makes much sense.

I don't really know why since it's been a while and I haven't really played through Reborn again. Was Gengar too good against some gym leaders and I don't remember? Meh. I'll go ahead and guess that the main reason for that though, is because you can find Misdreavus in the same area. And just like the Ralts/Meowstic thing, i guess no one used Mismagius since Gastly was right there to begin with. I guess it gives a chance to Mismagius to shine, since it's the best special attacking Ghost right now i think. More for the sake of Misdreavus than anything, I guess. There's also the fact that maybe Ame wasn't happy with the event itself, but has no idea what to change to. Axed now to return later.

Guzam Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Gastly is an event pokemon tho xD You get him right after Aya so it isn't that late. Plus he has a high speed stat and hits pretty damn hard and has a vast movepool. He shouldn't be where he is in the game as is. Not to mention Drilbur has been changed to an event pokemon as well due to easy sandstorm wreckage and he owns noel. Mudkip got moved because he is a good starter.

I can understand Gastly being moved to later, but I disagree with moving Mudkip. It's movepool is mostly special until it gets Earthquake at level 51, and by that point you should have other powerful Pokemon as well. It's typing is quite good, but it lacks good physical moves until pretty far into the game. It came at reasonable point IMO, as while it is a good Pokemon, it only really laughs at two boss fights. (Sigmund and Aster. Aster has an exceptionally awful team though) I disagree with moving Mudkip, but I'll stop talking about it now. I heard it was replaced with Squirtle... Meh.

ArthurZH Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Breeding using old Episodes allowed Gengar to obtain moves like Sludge Bomb, Thunderbolt, etc. I believe this was the reason. I wonder where'll Lapras be hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzam Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Lapras is confirmed to be in a dive spot in Ametrine mountain that you can only get to by using Waterfall. In fact all of the mountains have interesting things to find using the combonation of Surf, Dive and Waterfall. The areas combined are probably the biggest place in the whole game and it will be hell to explore all of it and find all of it's secrets... Unless you have RPGMaker and you can see everything good inside... Then you cut your time by like... 5 minutes out 60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where'll Lapras be hmmmm Yep, this is why. I have a TBolt Sludge Bomg Gengar and it just wrecks pretty much everything, before getting my wonderful perfect Gaslty I used it's mom, the movepool: Awful...that's it. You either relied on Hypnosis/Dream Eater or the nonsense Dark Pulse to hit Normal types, I cried when found out that Sludge Wave was incompatible ]: At least it had Destiny Bond, which was HUGE in some key battles. aka Arceus, Steelix, Mewtwo, Etc.

Not to mention Drilbur has been changed to an event pokemon as well due to easy sandstorm wreckage and he owns noel. Mudkip got moved because he is a good starter. That's where I disagree. I can agree his Speed and Special Attack are fantastic, but his movepool stinks. He doesnt learn any Poison moves naturally, Shadow Ball's learned at 33, and Poison/Ghost gives it weaknesses to Dark/Psychic/Ghost types, all of which are fairly popular. He by no means is a weak Pokemon; far from it. I just don't see how it's removal is warranted for balance issues. I don't want to believe it was removed because of the upcoming Arceus fight with El, as Curse can play a crucial role in the fight. The Holy field being added seems to support that theory, considering all "curses are lifted" after one turn. The Litwick line has access to much a more lethal movepool which compliments it's Ghost/Fire typing magnificently. Does using older episodes to breed Energy Ball onto it warrant the removal of it as well? What about Durant so it can learn Hone Claws? Where does the line get drawn?

pyrromanis Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Why do we even discuss about breeding in older episodes? The game is supposed to be played using gen 6 mechanics! In the current release ghastly has an awful/mediocore movepool. I agree it's fast and hits hard, but is also get one-shoted. The only reason I agree for its axing is because is the faster destiny bond user! Since it dies so easy and can outspeed almost anything, it can take down any opponent. Pair it with 5 revives and you can take down any gym leader with Gengar and 5 death foders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About Gengar, I think it's a question of usage, he gets pushed back to allow more usage for other good Ghosts like Mismagius or Chandelure. Everything will be made available sooner or later anyway. And Ame may put some egg moves on event Pokemon to make them more tempting to use. We'll see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I'd like to see the statistics of the folks that use Gengar on their team. I used it on my playthrough as well, and I was less than impressed. He's quick, yes, but his lack of Poison-type moves (without access to older episodes) is, literally, non-existent. I've rebuilt my team with a Trick Room Chandelure, and it's proven to be much more valuable than Gengar was. I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud. Sableye, Mismagius, Chandelure, and Dusclops/Dusknoir are are very viable options that stand with Gengar in-game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything will be made available sooner or later anyway. And Ame may put some egg moves on event Pokemon to make them more tempting to use. We'll see how that goes. This seems to be the most likely explanation. Ame has said that one of her goals is to get people to use pokemon they otherwise never would simply because other objectively superior or even merely "fan-favorite" pokemon are available. Example: Ralts is probably worse than Espurr and Gothita in the early parts of the game due the prevalence of poison, but since it's a fan favorite, people used it anyway to the exclusion of other Psychic types. Ame wants to prevent that. Edited May 21, 2015 by ReddestDream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zane0144 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Meh, volcarona is the boss. But consider the leaders we have left. A. Titania whom we are probably fighting this episode and probably won't even be able to reach volc until after. B. Amaria -water so hard to set up on C. Hardy -rock Ohko D. Ciel -field boosted acrobatics will hurt badly E. Adrienn -king of special defense and para haxing togekiss F. Saphira, whom most likely will have a bunch of ways to counter it with dragons such as flying dragons, stone edge etc. It's really the worst time to get this beast. But I will still use it and love it Edited May 22, 2015 by Zane0144 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Tanzan Depths where we fought giant Steelix, there are three further caves. 1. Where we can get Up-grade. 2. Where we can fight Seviper. 3. Where we end up on a locked gate.
