“Making Lugia, the guardian of the ocean, not a water type”

gamefreak didn’t creat Lugia. Lugia was the only Pokémon in the johto region that wasn’t created by gamefreak. Lugia was intended to be water and flying but gamefreak didn’t allow that since, at the time, physic type was seen as powerful types. That’s why they used psychic and flying. And the Creator of Lugia wanted Lugia to be female. And was devastated when the movie came out, and it was a male voice. Look it up it’s quite interesting

[@trumpeterjen]

For those who don't know, the reason you need to go somewhere specific to forget HMs is so that you don't softlock yourself on an island without Surf or something. In fact, if you try to release your last Pokemon that knows an HM move, it'll come back to you with the message, "______ came swimming back! Was it worried about you?" Which is actually really wholesome.

[@dubiousdeliquite6641]

Id be somewhat inclined to accept that except it still doesnt really make much sense. The pokemon has to be in your party anyways to change its moveset, so you could just pop the hm back on it if you get yourself stranded. Only reason I can really see is that its to keep you from forgetting it *while* youre surfing, but thats no reason to make cut and strength also a pain in the ass to forget

[@trumpeterjen]

@@dubiousdeliquite6641 You can very easily strand yourself places by forgetting moves and not carrying the HM with you. If you need Strength or Cut to get in and out of some place, it makes sense that they couldn't forget it on the spot. This feature was added in Gen III, where it was still possible to store your HMs in the PC, so you could be stuck in the field if you forgot something at the wrong time. Keeping the feature around is a good failsafe in case of unexpected glitches, too.

[@KMC5240]

The "needs to be traded in order to evolve" thing always bugged me as a kid. It still bugs me as an adult, but at least getting more than one version became easier as I got older. As a kid, unless you had a sibling who also loved Pokemon, or some really generous parents, you had to rely on a friend also having the game. Also totally with you on Ashs league losses. Johto and Hoenn are the only ones that don't leave a bad taste in my mouth. With those, Ash just lost to a standard trainer who was better. Sure introducing a pokemon from another region days before the battle could be considered a bullshit move, but Ash battled well against it, and the battle kept the pokemon from competing in it's trainers next match.

[@KMC5240]

@Rahul Adhi I said it "could be" considered a bullshit move. I.E, some others may think that the writers going this route is a bullshit move. I personally don't think it is. That's why I made it clear that Johto was one of the league loses by Ashs that doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. Hoenn being the other one.

Since Flying is the type that basically unifies all three of the legendary birds I think it makes more sense to leave them the same and change their first types instead.

Articuno's eye beams freeze foes solid but not in literal ice, Moltres' dark aura is only "flame-like" and Zapdos' feathers only produce a crackling sound like electricity when rubbing together.

Huh. And I thought the introduction of the VS Seeker was annoying. Like, it went from the PokéNav's "check for any trainers anywhere who want to battle" to the Poketch's "check to see if maybe some of the trainers onscreen want to battle, and if you don't, you'll have to run in circles madly until you can try again, and if one trainer just happened to walk out of frame, too bad, you'll have to recharge then press again to see if they're ready to battle, and pray that you're not wasting all those steps this time, good luck." I honestly suspect the VS Seeker almost singlehandedly ruined my Sinnoh experience by making grinding such a grind.

[@largenaq2935]

I never liked the Vs. Seeker. The Gen 3 Hoenn games' vs seeker was horseshit, it's incredibly difficult to go through the trainers cos it was organised so badly. Gen 4's took too long to work and only let you battle 1 or 2 specific trainers each time. ORAS did it the best but it was still only ok. I much preferred gen 5's use of audino in shaking grass.

Anime Logic makes Absolute ZERO sense. I agree. How can Metagross or Scizor be damaged by weak Poison Pokemon if they're immune to poison?

[@Justin-Progress]

I think the anime struggles in such situations, because they have two options: 1. Game-Logic. Pokemon not even flinching when getting hit by attacks they are immune to. 2. Real-Logic. Pokemon daking damage or at least flinching, since they are still physically hit with something. Yes, it wouldn't make sense, if a Pokemon, which is immune to electric, get's K.O.ed by a lightningbolt (looking at you, first Movie -.-). However, if a 120 lbs snake uses it's full strength and smacks that Metagrosses forehead with it's tail (from which I don't know how hard it is), it would also make no sense if the Metagross didn't flinch at least a little bit. (I'm not saying you are wrong with anything, just wanted to defend something, that can be excused (to some extend))

[@airilsharfharis6040]

I think it’s not the poison that’s hurting them but the hit itself

[@nickdentoom1173]

I mean, you can get rid of Toxic Spikes by using Dig and Flare Blitz underground. You can have Thunder Armor (Swellow would have fainted in the games) Hawlucha getting hit by Bone Rush Mega Lucario. Game logic simply doesn't translate well in the anime, because then you get either a really boring anime, or you need to exclude some moves from the anime.

[@viniciusespindola7238]

Just forgetting that Megas existed, then blatantly removing them

[@jaschabull2365]

I don't think they forgot; I just think they were being contemptuous then. Just look at the light mega evolving is put in in Gen 7's lore. I think the real dumb decision was to introduce a shiny new mechanic, get everyone hyped on it, then tell everyone one generation later, "You know that one cool thing you were all excited about and enjoying? Yeah, it's cruel and inhumane, and you should be ashamed for liking this thing we got you hyped about." And THEN discontinue it entirely and replace this mechanic which actually helped some power creep victims catch up with one which was basically game-breaking in all tiers but uber, which had too strong a metagame for some of the giga forms to catch up even there, making it pointless.

[@khaliyahjefferson832]

Digimon came up with Megas before Pokemon did so basically Pokemon rip them off

[@Kickiusz]

@@khaliyahjefferson832 it's just power-up by temporary form change. By your logic, Digimon ripped off Dragon Ball.

@@jaschabull2365 i think that was a missed opportunity to expand on the lore that alola and kalos had a war that resulted in alola giving mega evolution that was discovered in kalos a bad rep because in gen 6 mega evolution was built up to be the ultimate bond of the trainer and the pokemon whilst in gen 7 it was treated to just a power up that hurt pokemon

Title: Pokemon's worst decisions Me: Ash releasing Greninga

[@bulborb8756]

here's my list of mistakes: - giving pokemon who didn't need a mega, a mega - constant gen 1 pandering - gen 4's bullshit love affair with HM's - how slow DPP is - gen 6's pathetic difficulty - how bad certain shiny's and pokemon look with their 3D model - the god awful shiny's - Nidoqueen not being able to breed - Ash losing to a Snivy that was lvl 5......FIVE!!! - pandering towards Charizard (seriously....stop it already) - the current EXP Share - height and weight on pokemon making 0 sense - the entire gen 5 anime - Crabominable - Jynx - Not giving Dunsparce an evolution - Nidoqueen's shiny not being pink

[@chainsawplayin]

Can Nidoqueen breed at all? If not, it means she had menopause during evolution.

[@IgnitedQuils]

chainsawplayin Yep. Male Nidoran and his evolutions can. Female Nidoran can, but not Nidorina and Nidoqueen.

I actually disagree with tge first one. Id love to see more gyms and elite fours with a more variety of typing while still remaining them themed, instead of beating Giovanni with an underleveled kingler flawlessly.

That's bullshit, Platinum fixed that problem.

[@theflaminglitten-fo6jd]

I agree, if every gym leader just used the majority of one type then theyd be too easy to beat. sure they can have all fire type pokemon but all fire type pokemon with a good movepool? now thats a challenge think a mono fire team thats literally just fire, any trainer with1 water type would decimate it but if that mono fire team had some lightning or grass moves in it? now you gatta think through it
