    <p><p><p><p><p><p>HOLY MOLY the character naming is even more atrocious: it isn't character + vowel + character separate building blocks as Korean characters are supposed to be... and lol the character on the right is Chinese inscription for "문자 (汶字)", in this case "name character"... but in Chinese? That's kind of fail. What's uglier is all of it are separate "complete words", like as opposed to a selection of ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ it's 강 민 점 and I have to select between some arbitrary bunch of letters. That's.. just... <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/mellow.png" alt=":|" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/mellow@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I guess though it isn't possible to make a separate system as such but just replace the actual Japanese text in the original into some arbitrary Korean words in no particular order. And of course they leave the English because Engrish is important... right.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Jews. I won't get into the whole thing about them: it is rather too complex here, perhaps someplace else. A lot of the conspiracy has to do with them, and some, so falsely called, Jews. Germany was quite the center of academic scholarly institutions, some good, some not so great (something to do with Biblical textual criticisms that led to the HIV kind of Bibles being distributed nowadays). Prussia gains its military-esque nature from a predecessor group called the Teutonic Knights. I did like the fact while German Empire seemed militaristic and all, they were never involved in a single war other than WWI (and of course the founding Franco-Prussian War that came before the empire was established in 1871).</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Improvement? Nothing improved: and downgrade is such an understatement. I know you are not taught this now, but Russia actually had higher standards of living than even Britain or France. Hard to believe it really, but once the revolution came in, Russia was no longer the same. Ever. And it still isn't. Nicholas II may not have been tsar material because his father neglected him a lot, but at the very least he was scrupulous and actually cared for his nation rather than these philandering Bolsheviks and mass murder that came after with egomaniacs like Stalin and whatnot. Of course, Russia's so-called "allies" cheered when the Empire fell, and US didn't get involved in WWI until Russia fell.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>These kids figured it out before I did. Lol. And English is just fine for me now: I know the English names of Pokemon and moves and things better than Korean because I haven't been exposed to the Korean games mostly.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Rasputin and Russia eh? That is another interesting one... the guy was a demented monk with a unique theology stating in order to be cleansed from sin one must know it (hence his licentiousness with mass women). I can go on about the Russian Revolution too: it had huge effect, it was another counterpart to the dreaded French Revolution, and it also had an effect on us Koreans too, believe it or not. I mourn the old Russian Empire: those were the days.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

  15. There's also Vacuum Wave and Focus Miss. Inversely, Psychic only has Psycho Cut and Zen Headbutt as physical moves. Dark types... all are physical except Dark Pulse and Night Daze, which were introduced AFTER the phys/special split, and all Dark moves were special before (I don't even...). Yes, Grass, despite its 5 weaknesses, does at least have 4 very good resistances, and can still play defensively thanks to their plethora of support moves, Fire having high offensive moves with most of their moves being over 80 BP, and Water is, well, balanced (except Scald because it is broken)? I'm unsure how well Fairies turn out, but I saw Draining Kiss heals 100% of the HP stolen. Come on... all the other drain moves heal 50% of the HP stolen... why must Fairy be an exception? A friend of mine did say maybe Fairies are just good types with not so good stats. However, some retconned Pokemon like Gardevoir and Azumarill are already solid enough, especially Azumarill... which will gain even more prominence as anti-metagame Pokemon than it already was. So I'm quite unsure how balanced the new Fairies are really going to be. A new (most likely Fairy) move called "Child's Play" was seen used by Marill against a Haxorus, dealing over 50% damage to it. I wonder how that works, because if the calculations were to work, that move has to be at least 120 BP, or it may be some weird move which works better the less evolved a Pokemon is (basing it on its nomenclature). I liked Articuno much better when it was all blue Most of everything else I did type on the phone, but not that long one. I don't have autocorrect on, fortunately, but touchpad is ridiculously difficult.
  16. In most JRPGs and whatnot, Fire and Ice are both effective against each other. Though it's Pokemon, Fire resisting Ice is okay, or Moltres and the likes would be 4x weak to that, and I wouldn't like that. But a specialised Ice move that is effective on Fire would be great. And one that's effective on Steel, like Icecracker or something, idk. I always thought though Ice's resistances would be quite similar to Grass's (Elec/Grass/Ground), but nope. They went trolling with the one resistance deal. I'd like Ice to be a very good offensive typing, but the problem is the many defensive Ice Pokemon. They can always try to salvage it, like they did with Bug Pokemon and their trollingly low movepool in the past. Or really, just counting Ice and Water type as one type wouldn't have been too bad either, but alas, they are separate. It would have been fun if Ice resisted Electric and Grass moves (it does make sense if one thinks about it, but Grass types are already poor offensively it shouldn't) so they'd negate Water's weaknesses and Water negates their Fire and Steel weaknesses... leaving Water / Ice types to be only weak to Rock and Fighting. That'd be neat. Mystery Dungeon Snow weather raises Ice Pokemon speed by 1 level. That'd be an interesting thing because these Ice Pokemon are trolled hard because they lack a Swift Swim / Chlorophyll / Sand Rush counterpart (they keep trying the whole defensive game by giving them Ice Body or Snow Cloak... seriously now!). Do keep in mind Hail and Snow were considered separate weather. Now just imagine Hail raising the speed of Ice Pokemon or passively raising something else, or perhaps power up Ice moves. Ice would be quite scary: I'd imagine Kyurem actually be a force to be reckoned with, or have Glaciate passively double power in Hail... maybe that's too overpowered. Being the antithesis of Steel would be quite cool, in my opinion. Problem is, the type chart explicitly states Rock types gain 1.5x SpDef in sand (to make up for most of their low SpDef... though Tyranitar / Bastiodon / Regirock / Cradily say hai...) while nothing is said about Ice except "immune to freeze". Hail has too little beneficial effect on specific Ice types (like Walrein) and hinders everybody else to be of any benefit, and probably only works for stupid FEAR strategies, which I find pointless for regular battles. Even though Sand hinders a great majority of Pokemon, at LEAST where it is helpful, it is quite helpful. I'm not sure, but I hope these new buffs aren't going only to the Rock / Ice fossil, because depending on one Pokemon that is 4x weak to Bullet Punch / Vacuum Wave / Mach Punch and weak to Grass / Rock / Water / Ground moves as well and most likely to be slow isn't quite helpful for the type in general. This would be a "balanced" game then, if that were the case. Everything did have a drawback, such as Fighting moves having intense offensive coverage, but most of their moves had drawbacks ( Close Combat / Superpower / Hammer Arm ) and those that didn't were usually too weak to be used or worked on specific Pokemon or cases ( Low Kick / Low Sweep / Drain Punch <-- buffed in Gen V), or Dark moves which had specific strategies to be used ( Pursuit / Sucker Punch / Punishment / Foul Play ), or Steels with the defence to take nearly anything... Ice didn't really have much going for it, but imagine it hitting all the types it is not very effective against (I hope not against other Ice types though, because that would suck for Ice). Fire types is one side of the coin where it's offensively powerful and moves with high BST, but imagine Ice types finally getting some reliable role in the metagame rather than being a side type that had nothing going for it. Just expand their movepool beyond Powder Snow / Frost Breath / Icy Wind / Water Pulse and get some mean moves like Hydro Pump (hits Fire and Rock types super effectively) and give them an offensive role and have higher BP physical Ice moves as well for the likes of Mamoswine, Kyurem-B, Weavile, Beartic, DDLapras, etc and maybe they'll pose some sort of threat. I'm not sure how they'll salvage defensive Ice Pokemon (stares at Articuno and Regice), but something must be done. Now for stupid Fairies... and their overpowered resistances and effectiveness. Hmm... Abra with Psyshock was the first Abra card too. There was also a Diglett with Mud-Slap before Gen II was released. The Magikarp card had Splash and Flail before Flail was released, and Flail did the same effect that it would in the later games. Fun tidbits and eventually we'll get moves like Thunder Jolt from Pikachu... hmm. Now that Freeze Dry is a move, can't wait to see other new things that come out. And maybe some old Ice Pokemon may get access to the move as well! Thank God I'm not typing this on my iPhone. -__-

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>4) Hmm... I wonder what to think about that.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  18. Balance patches are mostly MMORPG stuff. I didn't like it when games kept on OPing/Nerfing certain classes or something that some became nigh unplayable while others worked too well. And yes, it is a neverending cycle. They did explicitly say that they are not doing that because they didn't want some kids' favourite to get nerfed: they don't plan on nerfing Pokemon anytime soon (yeah right Kyurem). Tiers are fanmade stuff though: they don't develop Pokemon out of tier usage but out of general concepts of course. But I don't know if I'm supposed to be happy or if I should be skeptical when they say "they got it right" this time. They say they look at strategies in tournaments to see what's common and saw that everybody used the "metal plant thing" (I'm sure that's supposed to be Ferrothorn). And yeah, nobody can get apologetic about dragons anymore: even Gamefreak said "Dragons are OP" and hence fairies. Remember last time in Gen I how Psychics were too powerful they came up with not one, but TWO types to counteract them (Dark and Steel)? Think of it this way: a new game is a "new balance patch" of some way, and some things were affected like last time, and now Steels lost their resistance to Dark and Ghost, things may turn out different. Or when they make mistakes... like Heracross not being able to learn Bulk Up... or rearrange Pokemon's learning moves (like Sandslash), a new game remedies those kinds of stuff (along with add tutors). I hope they're not extremely liberal with their tutors like they were in Platinum. HEATWAVEZAPDOSYOUBREAKEVERYTHING But I don't think a lot of other things will be too different. Kyuber will still be Uber, for example, and I don't believe things like Kricketune will see any more usage than it ever used to. Though last gen... they gave out Quiver Dance to the early butterfly Pokemon (of course Volcarona/Lilligant got the most usage out of it), which did in fact help them, so who knows what kind of addition we may expect on some of the forgotten unused Pokemon such as Kricketune. But who knows if another Cloyster-like change happens where a previously decent Pokemon becomes OU thanks to new role or move it finds (Shell Smash). We will see, but I don't expect things to change drastically for the most part. Also: Freeze Dry!

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>The fossils look amazing, I do like them, though Tyrantrum looks like Groudon. Freeze Dry is something that we've all been wanting for so long to help Ice Pokemon gain offensive momentum, but... I'm unsure because if it is Amaura's signature move, it most likely won't be distributed to other Ices then, which will suck considering this one is 4x weak to Bullet Punch and Mach Punch. It should be something like reverse Scald: 80 BP Ice move that only Ice Pokemon, Water / Ice Pokemon (not other Waters because Ice types were denied Scald), and some few exceptions (maybe Empoleon... or some other Ice-themed yet non-Ice Pokemon if they exist) should have access to. With Water coverage, only Shedinja so far resists this... and also Jynx with Dry Skin, but both fall prey to Mold Breaker types.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  20. Good grief. It is only one move: for all we know, it may be a lot like Scald, have 80 BP and have us choose between that move or the more powerful and reliable Ice Beam with 95 BP (especially if said Pokemon has access to Thunderbolt like Lapras). But for all we know, Trollfreak will disappoint once more, give the move awkward distribution, and may give it something like 40 BP... I sure would not want Ice to be SE vs Water though. But specific niche moves that help bulkier Ice Pokemon break through stallfest Waters is not a bad idea. Now we need one SE vs Fire... or have Acid hit Steel types... eew bad idea with latter because Acid is 40 BP... and i am afraid Freeze Dry will be 40 BP as well They said no sixth gen get a Mega evo... Mmmhh. I am scared: it might mean there may be a power creep with the sixth gen pokes making even fifth gens like Excadrill look bad and old pokes have to go mega to make up for the power creep... or it is just GF appealing to nostalgia. There is also them saying they will not release any balance patches in the future because they think they have the balance right this time. I am kind of scared... but we will see how it turns out.
  21. Those fossil evolutions... they are beautiful ㅠ__ㅠ ! Rex looks a bit like Groudon though but I cannot wait to see how both look competitively. Ice sauropod is gorgeous, but lawl Mach Punch / Bullet Punch As for Freeze Dry, it seems like a great way to get Ice specials to get better coverage and to enhance their offensive capabilities... had it not been for them being too stupidly slow. Still, Water + Freeze Dry is unresisted by all but Shedinja (unless you have Mold Breaker). I hope its BP is high enough to be usable. Even something like 80 would be okay. I would like it even more if it was a version of Scald: and all Ice Pokemon and Water / Ice could learn it (but not other Water since Scald was denied to Water / Ice). Lapras would like to free up its moveslot so it doesn't have to run Thunder(bolt). I hope it becomes just that, and Ice may be golden (along with access to Hydro Pump to cover Fire and Rock types who are bothersome... and neutrally hit Steels). What phone are you using?
  22. My personal opinion: I didn't like how slow GSC metagame was (Haunter survived Graveler's Earthquake when it was weak to it, for example, or +2 Charizard failed to OHKO Ampharos with EQ, etc...), but going too offensive... I'm scared. Ha ha. I remember those times when Gen V first came out, we were all scared of Haxorus, Reuniclus and Conkeldurr because they kept killing everything. Even things like Lugia were OHKOd that Multiscale Lugia became a necessity. Eh heh heh... we already have a form of UU Lugia in form of Cresselia, though if Cresselia gained Fairy typing, it'd be much better and lorewise how she deals with Darkrai would make actual sense. But I can imagine a whole bunch of Ubers going down to OU in this generation, just like how a lot of OUs from Gen IV went down to UU in Gen V (so a lot of UU is like former Gen IV OU if you think about it, mixed with some other familiar faces of UU but some others went down to RU and possibly NU). Really not looking forward to a really highly offensive metagame: it'll be Gen V redux where it used to be "set up DD + Outrage everything after every steel is gone" or "sand + SD + Excalol" or "Prankster NP Thundurus + kill" will now be replaced with "lol ur dragon I fairy I keel u becuz u hab no metal or poison atk". I know it's too early to speculate, but what kind of a uber-like typing is Fairy anyways? It has the right resistances and quite negligible weaknesses (though it means BPunch Scizor will rise yet again). In Ubers... oh boy, Xerneas alone will kill the 9001 dragons in that tier. Sorry but I'm quite doubting the sort of balance Fairy would bring, unless their Pokemon are not exactly great in terms of stats to balance out their typing (Azumarill and Gardevoir proves me wrong here though, so again, be vewy afwaid). I don't want the metagame to be going too quickly though: everything hitting too hard or something is scary, especially if, for example, Lugia or whoever is Ubers gets demoted to OU or something, people are forced to run one just to tank everything. I think they had the right idea when they introduced Fairy, but executed it poorly I hope that's the case for Mega Kangaskhan and it's just Choice Band without the lock cost... but then again, the opportunity cost for that (where you can have some other Mega)... it's not too great as she no longer has Scrappy (I loved spamming Circle Throw on that thing). Perhaps it is just baby with separate stats along with mother Kangaskhan with little modifications, which in that case, isn't too great, unfortunately. But still, two STAB Return isn't exactly something anybody can tank easily (unless you're Aggron or something, in which case, you'll meet a subsequent Fighting coverage move which will OHKO). I wonder how it'll turn out, but yeah, if it's hitting twice with Kangaskhan's attack, that's scary. If it's lower, then it won't be as useful as it should be. So much to think about: hurry up and come out with the game!
  23. I doubt MegaEvos will go to everyone (I highly doubt we will get Mega Kricketune or Mega Watchog... though one can dream)... and also, the need for non-Mega vs Mega metagame is to appeal to players who don't like the very idea of Mega evolution (such as myself) and to just play Pokemon as if it were the original Generations without the use of Mega Stones. So a metagame without Megas is perfectly viable. Unfortunately, I doubt competitive community will do that and would rather have a full metagame with everything allowed in it. Even if it is conditional, the very premise of Megas can just turn a whole metagame upside down. For example, Mega Charizard with Drought: activate Mega form as Tyranitar switches in, negate the sand, then Solarbeam all on the same turn, possibly eliminating Tyranitar, Politoed and the likes (nobody will ever dream of switching Abomasnow in anyways). Even if the Megas are not allowed to become Mega once more (we don't know if that's true or not), Mega Charizard has already done its job and pretty much set game for you. It's a whole new metagame, actually. I think two modes would be okay, in my opinion, and have Megas rated in the mega metagame in itself. I don't mean to be doubtful but somehow, I don't think the metagame really works that way (not saying Tyranitar dominating everything was awesome... though it gets manhandled by the 9001 Fighters out there). And the stat augmentation: it's a flaw in itself if it's just a couple of number boost, because Pokemon equipping Life Orb and whatnot are generally stronger than any amount of meager "stat boost", like the Therian form Pokemon (Landorus regular is actually stronger in Sand than Landorus-T, especially with Life Orb). If it is the equivalent of a stat boost or two, then that would be something. However, it's also quite broken, as that's like having Swords Dance and an attack on a single turn... I'm really scared of Mega Kangaskhan, as she can attack TWICE Yeah... I think two metagames would suffice: it's like having a DW vs non-DW metagame from Gen V... somewhat. If everything gets offensive capabilities rising, it's not really balanced: it's just headed more for an hyper offensive metagame, which would suck when you have Mega Mewtwo X sweeping an entire team? Then say you destroy it... with your own Mega. Mmm... everything will just be hitting too hard, just like how we felt when Gen V debuted. Actually... Fairies already dominate everything with that beast of a typing... so whatever
