    #1: Yes... that's right. I was thinking the same thing really. #2: Oh yes it is. Every time something new is added expect them to outclass the old. By the way, that phenomenon is not only limited to Pokemon... so whatever. It seems very dangerous right now really, as they have mixed bigger numbers on Pokemon that don't look like they possess the stats or anything. Because they are better than previous ones... that's the thing. They expect us to use this new... stuff that they bought out. I don't know... I don't think I can. It seems the stats were lazily distributed and the designs were lazily implemented. You may not see it, but I kind of see it that way. Gen V at this point looks very offensive styled, makes no room for stall... which is the type of game some people play (like me... it was my preferred method of battling really). Lousy designs just do not help, no matter what their stats/abilities/etc are! #3: Oh come on, do you truly think any metagame is truly balanced? There is no such thing even as of yet. Even if I say Starcraft is the most balanced thing I've ever played, I can still see a lot of issues in there too. Change is not always for the better. "In a far away region..." sure I can accept that. I don't just look at the stats, but stats definitely do play an important role in Pokemon. So does typing... so does abilities, and of course, held items. Some of the stuff don't look American at all though. That being said, there will always be a top and a bottom in any metagame. No doubt about it.. that's what makes a metagame, much like social classes in real life and everything. Nobody was created equal... so we cannot really attain a balance. Maybe like an asymptote... always reaching but not being able to attain its goals. I just have a bleak vision of BW's metagame as everything is offensive or "one shot this and that", etc... it plagued the DP metagame somewhat, and got progressively worse in PlatHGSS as they added new move tutors to enable things like Salamence wreak greater havoc. You can say I'm afraid of the new possibilities... or unwillingness to change, but it's more "I'm treading on dangerous currents here". Will I adapt to it? Maybe... but there are a lot of issues I am unsure of. Does adding stronger stuff like Aiming Mark necessarily balance the game out? Or rather break it? In any games, either buffing or nerfing something can bring detrimental results, leading to some stuff being completely unusable or just totally overcentralizing... controversy sparks on Ninetales and Politoed right now on their new abilities. Let me give you an example. A game my brother plays on his iTouch is this shooting game called Eliminate Pro... which introduced many weapons, and then the ultimate "Titan Pro" which was everyone's dream. But later on, they started adding more guns and eventually, this one called Menacer Pro came out. It had wall sticking properties, did a lot of damage, and was a rapid shooting gun. In fact, green balls were EVERYWHERE because of that. The gun required NO skills to use and people just beat others with ranks 300 + higher than them because of that. Needless to say, the Titan Pro was so outclassed... no one even uses that anymore. Although it is a decent gun, it looks downright obsolete because of the Menacer Pro. Later came the nerf... which didn't do anything to the gun... EXCEPT the firing rate was down. That ONE ASPECT totally rendered the gun unusable. Maplestory... Dual Bladers end up KSing others... not because the player is so good, but because the CLASS itself is good. They involve little to NO skills to use, as opposed to stuff like Crusaders. Starcraft II... most people play Terrans... although Starcraft does involve skills it seems it's a lot easier to use them right now than the other races... as Gin says, the Zergs have a LOT of problems competing right now. Now a question about the new Pokemon... will they end up requiring no skills just to own others? Or are you just so good because you know how to use it? Who knows? Previous gen are bought up to that level? Nah I don't believe so. I won't deny the old Pokemon did get buffed... they have indeed. I did research on some Pokemon's moves and everything... it can only help so much, but face it. One thing they cannot change are base stats, which is why I put an important emphasis on that. Stuff that was stuck with its stats from its debut will ALWAYS remain that way (Gen 1--> Gen 2 special split was an exception, but forget about that). 109 speed? 108ers... 116, etc... are you kidding me? How are we to compete with that? Some Pokemon like the legendary birds received absolutely no new moves (okay, new TMs... but that can only help so much). Some stuff, however, they managed to break, like Blaziken with Speed Boost. Like I said, buff/nerf can be a dangerous thing. I like Dragonite's new ability... BUT it only works at 100% HP. Boo. Heracross's overconfidence ability... meh too bad. Stuff that switches in after it OHKOs something will be a counter anyhow. They are paying attention to some of the old stuff, which is good... but it's really not enough to make them all that great or catch up to the rest, MOSTLY because of the said base stats. Mewtwo's Psycho Break, however, is a welcome addition as Mewtwo needed a signature move. Some they just broke beyond repair (as Blaziken, Zapdos, etc...)... others, well... I don't know, but would giving Gale to Pidgeot really help it that much? Many of the stuff that they bring is also very Double/Triple battle centric, such as that 180 BP move, Douse, etc... Pidgeot will always remain inferior to the other birds. Dream World only gave it Pigeon Heart of all abilities, when something like even HUSTLE could benefit greatly, you know? And stuff that wanted evolution... now why could they not do that in this generation? Is it because they want people to be enamored with the new Pokemon and just forget about the old? Could be... 156 Pokemon... more than the original 151... not to mention a #000 taking the role of Missingno... you know, they might as well! Anyhow, I was looking forward to evolutions for stuff like Delibird or Farfetch'd or even Jynx... but again, that has been denied. Heck, they troll Delibird with another version of its EXISTING ability! And funny how I'm the only one who noticed that immediately... and how Mamanbou isn't even an evo for Luvdisc. That's a shame... it really is (but I really do like Mamanbou... I really do). One thing I know for certain is the restricted access of Stealth Rocks, which can be a good or a bad thing. Much like I wouldn't know how the game turns out, you wouldn't know either. I don't blindly think everything will be well... one has to be critical of what appears to happen. Like me, you are also guilty of theorymoning here... "new items and buffs on old Pokemon will balance it out for sure!"... no not completely. If stall is not viable (it was dying in Gen IV anyhow but at least manageable)... meh, what can I do? Pokemon is leaning towards offensive direction... and it always has been. Cannot say it's really balanced if there is no other modes of playing really. I WILL say this though... many of us got our wishes come true. "Give us something new!"... you've got it. "Stop spamming Zubats!"... you've got it (but half of that wish came true as it was replaced by some other idiotic bat). This list will be quite long so... I'm just gonna stop there. I guess they just HAD to add the new stuff (to keep the franchise going of course!)... but really they just don't fit with the rest of the other Pokemon. Am I saying they shouldn't change stuff at all? No... Pokemon should be dynamic and changing, and I welcome many of the changes implemented in BW, new possibilities are always cool... but something about this does not feel right. Ever since Gen IV I suspected Pokemon would not be for kids anymore... it's really for nerds. All right, so Pokemon grew up... or maybe we grew up. I don't know, but I think I'm through with it. I guess GF is really smart there... more money for their franchise. Great. But losing traditional values of Pokemon really does make me question it. Like Digimon... after the second season, I got entirely lost and just stopped. Closed-minded to appearance eh? I'd hate to be the person that uses Pokemon I don't care for but only care because their stats or ability or movepool is better than stuff that I've grown attached to... it seems that's what elitists do. Only look at the numbers. Numbers are the only thing that they'd ever care for... dull... boring... and closed minded from other possibilities and busy with the matters of consequences. What can I say? I hope we're not retrogressing to a macro scale of Gen I (what a trainwreck of a metagame that was... if you can call that a metagame!)...

    Broken? Sure I wouldn't mind a legendary uber being more than capable of destroying commonplace Pokemon but when you give Pokemon lazy designs with stats that make old Pokemon that were designed much better cry... I don't know, how would you feel? Or moves that are just completely insane (like the one Tbird mentions... 180 BP with only drawback hurting your allies... in singles that'd break.) Like.. all right. To illustrate my point... and I know I'm exaggerating, but to prove one's point sometimes we have to use extremes. If I were part of TrollGamefreak and I came out with this as this generation's new... Butterfree... Typing: Electric (reference to how so many stuff in this gen looks like they're from water but they don't possess that typing... like that eel or flatfish) Ability: Levitate (no weaknesses... > : ) ) HP: 150 Attack: 111 Defense: 130 SpA: 155 <-- 1 point above Mewtwo's SpA SpDef: 110 Speed: 181 <--- 1 point above Deoxys-S, the fastest Pokemon in the game I don't know... how would you feel? Not only did something with a ridiculous design just totally usurp some former Pokemon but it also has one of the most ridiculous designs ever. I'd be like "I'm supposed to use that?" It's just that ridiculous numbers are thrown everywhere on poorly designed Pokemon... and I cannot get over that. I will admit I do take a liking to some of the new Pokemon (like Gothivoir... but nothing replaces my old Gardevoir, or Mamanbou) but for the most part, it looks just... weird! I mean, we can get used to it I guess eventually, but even when Gen IV came, I wasn't too enamored with the new guys that came in, but to me, at least they appeared like Pokemon. That's all. The stuff here look like the love children of Pokemon + Digimon + Yu-gi-oh cards even... ha ha no idea but everything does turn out similar in the end. But who knows? Only time will tell... but I feel like stall will die out. Period.

    If Lightningrod indeed works like Mystery Dungeon's Lightningrod now, then Seaking is very viable. However... Zapdos gets Lightningrod? What did his two siblings get? Snow Cloak and Flame Body! Talk about more favoritism again... I knew it all along. Gamefreak's in love with that Thunderbird and trying to make us forget about the other two, mostly Articuno. Moltres is very good but that 100 base attack is a troll if it has nothing to use with it. I have a feeling they're going to make Zapdos the superbird and leave the other two to obscurity... it's been their plan all along. And Tbird, I will gladly join you. Just pass me the popcorn and just sit back and relax as the chaos ensues...

    Ugh, that electric eel looks broken. I wish they either give electrics another weakness or ice another resistance... because this is getting out of hand. I swear Gamefreak ran out of ideas... which explains the poor quality of the Pokemons' designs but giving them insane numbers. I see a lot of stats hitting over 100s on almost every Pokemon. And what is with those insane speed numbers? I see a lot of 108s, a 109, some 113, 116 even... and many many bugs and fighters (and definitely a lot of Bug/Steels). I really think they ran out of ideas. Expect Gen V Pokemon to totally dominate the metagame. In fact, we'll play Pokemon until no one can tell whether one is a Pokemon or a Digimon or a Fakemon or anything even related to the franchise! BW Pokemon I've been bashing Gen IV a lot, but at least Gen IV was still Pokemon. I can't make out what Gen V stuff are supposed to be. Granted, I like a few of them, but many of them... just are not Pokemon. http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/dreamworldabilities.shtml There are some interesting Dream World abilities. Many of them are trolls (Seaking with Lightningrod?!), others can seriously break the metagame I believe. But I just want your honest opinion, which ability would be better for Delibird, Vital Spirit or its new Dream World ability Insomnia? I have a hard time deciding... because it is definitely one of the most life changing decisions one could ever make. Hustle? What are you talking about? It has no such thing.

    <p><p><p><p><p>Hey Mi-ParaDoX. Wishing you an early happy birthday (in case I forget). Cheers and have fun.</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>(btw, strange coincidence, but today is my mother's birthday... and in ten days, my brother's).</p></p></p></p></p>

  19. wraith89
    Uh oh... I truly give up with Pokemon if this is how it turned out. Also...
  20. wraith89

    <p><p><p><p><p>Yeah I thought Marines were too effective in SC2. SC1's Marines were like... die in like an average of 5-9 seconds... SC2's Marines are scary. I actually never found the time to use Stim for them.</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>Wow, Zergs now need to keep up with mass production? It used to be the other way around... my Protoss/Terran units needed to keep up with Zerg production!</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>And I realized SC2's economy is very focused on gas. MULE at least doesn't get out gas (be glad there's no auto refinery like the campaign). The MULE was kinda needed but maybe it is a bit too effective. Also, if you don't MULE and waste on a scanner sweep instead, you just sacrificed a bunch of economic boon right there, which can also be a liability when you really need that scan. Just a thought there.</p></p></p></p></p>

  21. wraith89

    <p><p><p><p><p>Sorry, school internet is really bad. Ask Tbird about it, I disconnect on MSN every 10 minutes.</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>Anyways, every race has that special MULE/Chrono Boost/Queen's Spawn Larva thingy. But I guess the Zergs are somewhat at a disadvantage there for having to produce a Queen in the first place. However, they can produce 3 units at a time per Hatchery, so keep that in mind. MULE is crazy though. Even though I love that thing, gaining like 800 minerals per MULE (exaggeration) is indeed quite a lot. Maybe they can change the rate a bit... and yet still be effective?</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>And they kinda cheated. Marines went up from 40 to 45 HP (no one noticed that did they?). Back in SC1, a Zergling would eat a Marine, one on one (assuming both are not upgraded). Did the Marine's rate of fire increase or what? It seems they are more effective in this game handling Zerglings than ever before.</p></p></p></p></p>

  22. wraith89

    <p><p><p><p><p>It's all right. And you're not being mean. It's natural. I kinda raged back at SC1 at everybody's Protoss and Zerg destroying my Terrans. Terrans did get improved at least enough to contend in Starcraft's metagame... but if it is enough to destroy the game's balance, that's really bad. I noticed they got a HUGE advantage of being able to block out enemies with the supply depots. They did the right thing nerfing their HP to 350 from 500.</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>They may need to buff the Zergs up in that case. I'd be careful about nerfing whatever though. Nerfing has a huge history of destroying potent units *cough*MothershipRoachesetc*cough*. Perhaps change the reactor core's build time. Mind you, when it was at 40 seconds, Terrans got screwed a lot by opposing Zerg and Protoss players. Can you think of any changes? By the time Heart of the Swarm comes out, I think people will complain Zergs are overpowered (more power for the swarm in their game I suppose).</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>And lol, I don't have the money now. Nor time <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure.png" alt=":/" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

  23. wraith89

    <p><p><p><p><p>Is it that quick or must it react or automatic regardless? Dark Swarm just worked automatically and had a time duration. Could that thing get destroyed?</p></p></p></p></p>

  24. wraith89

    <p><p><p><p><p>Erm, you know what Dark Swarm is, yes? It's a cloud that you can hide your units under (preferably Hydralisks) and prevent any ranged attacks from even hitting you.</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>This is why Terran players hated it; the majority of their units were ranged, so only Firebats, SCVs, and a Siege Tank's Splash Damage were the only things that could hit them. Protoss players had Dark Templar and Zealots, so it wasn't too much of a problem for them.</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>Unless there's a new skill with the same name... which I'm not too sure of <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wacko.png" alt=":S" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wacko@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>Meh, funny thing. Zergs are the only race I hate in Starcraft. I kinda like the Terrans but love the Protoss best. But I decide to play Terrans... just because they're human. Too bad, I prefer Warcraft's humans a lot more (just because they're medieval themed). And I like the Night Elves as well... I don't know why. Not too enamored with Orcs... and Undead is a love/hate relationship.</p></p></p></p></p>

  25. wraith89

    <p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, what the heck happened to Hydras? They're no longer the all purpose units anymore, are they now? Tier 2? I used to think Roaches (the old monsters) should be moved to Tier 2 and Hydra back to 1.5.</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>Dark Swarm... on Terran? Enlighten me. Dark Swarm was a skill for the Zerg Defiler, which is not even present in SC2 anyhow. It was also a Terran player's worst nightmare.</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>Okay, tell me the Roaches stats. It was like 160 HP, 2 Armor, 25 vs Armor or something... ranged, fast, regenerate like crazy when burrowed, moves while burrowed, etc...</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>But you know... you can only be looking at one side. They were careful not to make the Zergs overpowered in the beginning, I'm sure. But if the Roaches got nerfed that badly and still cost the same...</p></p></p></p></p>
