"Hey there, I'm from the future! Don't believe me? Just wait two years, you'll see..." Here we have a time traveler from Gen 4. Not only will all of their mons go on to receive evolutions in Gen 4, but three fourths of their movesets are moves they can't possibly learn in Gen 3, but will be...

The thing is that Dugtrio is really bad at abusing Sand Veil evasion, to the point where it would genuinely work better with no ability like what Giovanni's FRLG Dugtrio effectively has. Dugtrio's frailty and speed means it's going to get ONE move before going down to a single attack from the...

Game Freak has never had the guts the unleash Arena Trap Dugtrio onto the player. :sv/dugtrio: (at least among Ground-, Rock-, and Steel-type specialists. I ain't looking over every trainer ever) From what I can gather, only two key trainers have used Bald Dugtrio in a game with abilities in...

I especially love that it's still just Arceus. Every other legendary power-up is either "this is the Pokemon's TRUE form" or "this is the Pokemon transformed by an external energy source" but not this. Especially with the game also confirming that Arceus's actual true form is an...

Wait so the two stats that can potentially be abbreviated as "spd" look the same? Wonderful decision.

What the hell is Bulbapedia doing with its colors and why

I meant the gameplay is nothing like Tekken.

"Pokkén" as a game title annoys me on three levels. First, it's just a clunky portmanteau. Second, it really doesn't need to reference Tekken at all because the game is nothing like Tekken. Third, "Poken" as in "Poké Yen" is a much better name for money than "Pokédollar" or "Pokémon Dollar".

You spot this odd-looking fellow standing in the middle of a bramble field, and although he's stoked to see you, he won't automatically initial a battle like most trainer NPCs. Instead, he insists you challenge him "freely, and of your own will."...

I wonder how much of that tireless work is the Elite Four and how much of it is just Koga.

Nah, the double battle is the entire reason I felt comfortable using both Doublade and Aegislash on the same team (sort of; I guess it's technically two different teams). Something about having two of the same family on the same team and just not addressing it felt wrong, especially since one of...

Also, due to their movepool differences, Lugia plays like a traditional wall (or maybe it's a CM sweeper nowadays I dunno) while Scream Tail is more of a disrupter with stuff like Encore and Disable.

What type of bug are you reporting? Unsure What is the bug? The front page doesn't acknowledge that I've left this battle, even after refreshing. https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen9unratedrandombattle-2090030061 Are you able to replicate it? If so, how? In order to...
