Just finished Alpha Sapphire. Things I liked:
- Graphical side. Attack animations, etc. are all top notch.
- Soundtrack remixes are amazing.
- Convenience features like the DexNav, AreaNav, faster berry growth, Horde Battles for EV training etc are very welcome, but not all of them (see later).
- Professor Birch being chased around by his wife was funny as fuck.
- Well, it's still Pokemon, and has all the things we've loved the series for since genwun.
- Nice online modes.
Things they fucked up:
- Difficulty is a joke. None of the gym leaders provide ANY CHALLENGE AT ALL, unlike the previous games (didn't play X/Y). They are severely underleveled and don't have full teams or even close to. E4 is the same.
- Sky Pillar location moved…we should still have to find it the old fashioned way. And the other old locations they've modified also mostly sucked (New Mauville etc…).
- Contests trivialized…you can max out all stats, and there's no pokeblock making minigame.
- Legendaries too easily shoved down your throat. But that's been around for a long time now.
Overall I've enjoyed the game though, and am going to keep playing online / battle tower for a long time most likely.

I've been playing Pokemon Rejuvenation where the story can basically be boiled down to "shit gets edgy: all characters are tumblr", but it and Pokemon Reborn honestly have the best gameplay you will ever find in a Pokemon game that isn't a spinoff.
Forces you to actually play intelligently and build counter teams using whatever options you have available instead of just picking six mons from the first three routes and saying "This is my team". Gotta play with what you need, rather than what you want.
It is unimaginably frustrating to have the odds stacked so far into the opponent's favour, but figuring out a way to overcome it is exciting and then finally beating that one asshole who's been gatekeeping you for the past two hours is relieving like nothing else. It's just a shame that the writing is so god awful that you don't get any story-related relief once it's over.

I know due to graphical reasons why they had to eliminate hoard battling but I feel like it was less tedious and took less time compared to say S.O.S battling.

>- Graphical side. Attack animations, etc. are all top notch.
I'm going to disagree here. There's a lot of issues with the Gen 6 and 7 battle and attack animations that go farther beyond some frame rate drops. One issue is that the camera is incredibly static, especially compared to the earlier 3D games from Hal and Genius Sonority. Just take a look at how dynamic the camera is in Battle Revolution. You have rotation around the arena, pans between Pokemon, close up of the trainers, and different angles for different attacks. Meanwhile in Gen 6 and 7 most attacks are simply seen over the shoulder of your own Pokemon, with only a few changes in camera angle. Furthermore Battle Revolution went a step further by having contact based attacks have animations where the Pokemon actually runs up to attack the other. In the Gen 6 and 7 games they usually just do jump cuts or attack effects only. I know these are games developed by Game Freak and Game Freak alone, and for the 3DS, however considering games like all the Fire Emblems on 3DS have similar camera dynamics why couldn't Game Freak do the same?
>- Difficulty is a joke. None of the gym leaders provide ANY CHALLENGE AT ALL, unlike the previous games (
Lol no. Only a few gym leaders in the past have ever given anybody problems (and I'm not counting meme gym leaders like Whitney who was never hard for me but hard as shit for everybody else).
ORAS was a mixed bag for myself. It had everything people wanted in a Gen 3 remake and then some, but it also took away quite a few things from the Gen 3 games and even the Gen 6 games like trainer customization.

Mega Garchomp was always outclassed by normal Garchomp. Mega Gyarados only ever saw use in niche teams in both Smogon singles and VGC 2014. Mega Gengar is pretty much the only Pokemon you mentioned that outclassed its normal form.

It's called magic, you autists. You're talking about creatures that constantly break the laws of thermodynamics that can conjure up elemental energies and even physical objects. Generating an egg from two parents without genitals isn't far fetched with magic. Also riddle me this:
If genitals are needed to lay Pokemon eggs, then explain how genderless Pokemon, like Magnemite and Beldum, can create eggs with Ditto?

The Ditto replicates both male and female genitals internally similar to a snail. It then uses a small DNA sample from the Beldum(for example) which can be obtained by the Ditto from just a moment of skin contact.

This two are right, both forms are good, at least for Gengar. Scizor feel to UU while his mega remains OU. The Tapus displaced a lot of things.
For the record this is for Smogon. If we talk VGC, the only Megas that mattered where Charizard-Y, Lucario, Kanga and Garde. At least for XY. Sala and Meta had no presence in the meta before their Megas.
I do agree that the Mega distro was shit but Megas, at their time were successful. They had a big impact in both VGC and Smogon. Megas, like all Pokémon are not designed with Competitiveness in mind.

Bullshit. Multiple Megas and Gen 6 Pokemon in XY alone were designed with VGC double battles in mind. Game Freak does design Pokemon with compeitive features in mind. That's partially the reason why they now introduce sub-100 Pokemon in new generations with nearly every Pokemon having some sort of signature gimmick ability or move pool that works in doubles. That doesn't mean Game Freak does a good job at actually designing these introductions with competitive use in mind, not to mention TPC's insistence on allowing legendaries and Smogon-uber class Pokemon into VGC (looking at you VGC 2016).

Greninja was around plenty in VGC 2014 depending on the team. Being top 50 in usage isn't necessarily scarce. What kept it from being in the top 25 was the fact it had a limited movepool to make use of Protean and its stats at the same time. Plus it didn't have much utility outside of Mat Block.

Okay for the sake of actually discussing the games and getting over an autismal inability to choose something I need opinions:
Burn in the Pokemon games does two things: lowers HP by 1/16th per turn and halves physical attack power. Hypothetically, in a romhack or something, I would want to make an analogue to the burn status condition that would halve special attack power and reduce HP by 1/16th per turn. Ideally I'd just make poisoning this analogue but a few issues pop up: How would one balance Toxic (which of Gen 7 bypasses accuracy checks if used by a Poison type) and other moves causing bad poisoning if on top of losing n * 1/16 + 1/16 HP per turn you also have the halving of special attack power? What would be better? Making a "bad burning" status condition, getting rid of bad poisoning all together, making an entirely new status condition to reduce special attack power by half, or something else?

That is not how it works, anon. Cowtits are qualified by the following:
>having very large (the size of the girl's head or larger) tits in proportion to the rest of the body
>said tits being incredibly bulbous and semi-rigid (like the actual udder of a cow hence the "cowtits" name) despite being large and heavy instead of actually sagging under their own weight
Having big tits isn't in of itself a qualifier for the "cowtits" label. Both of these features need to be present for any pair of tits to be labeled as "cowtits".

Yeah I appreciate it. I have a romhack idea planned and my philosophy with romhacks is to not deviate too far from the core "Pokemon experience". If I add a status condition it has to be along the lines of the current status conditions we already have: usually elemental based (Burn/Fire, Frozen/Ice, Poisoned/Poison, Paralysis/Electric) and not completely abstract or intangible. Plus I wouldn't want it to be like one of the various volatile status conditions we already have like attraction or confusion.

I see.
Slippery/Water - Any physical binding moves don't give extra effect and boosts pokemon evasion by 3 stages. Electric damage do 2x damage.
Thorn/Grass - Receives set damage per turn and can't use any physical moves during its duration. Removed by fire moves.
Ejected(not whirlwind effect)/Flying - Can't do anything for one turn unless it knows certain moves/is flying type and crashes into ground receiving damage. If target is too heavy it doesn't work.
Blind/Dark - Sharply decreases accuracy - 2/3 stages. Not very original, I know.
Dazzled/Fairy - Decreases accuracy - 2/3 stages and can hit someone else with offensive moves.
Fear/Ghost - Sometimes can use another move or will just do nothing.
I don't have any ideas for other types.

I guess it makes sense for a positive status to exist(facade type things might be borked with it however).
I don't know why i would ever try to use this on my opponent and it only really helps double strats.
This+Shock wave is way too slow to work, unless it gets an entry hazard type thing.

Terrible naming but sounds like the gen 1 bind/wrap mechanics, which i guess were basically grass moves at that point considering how they were used; it works though it should probably just be called binded or constricted.

Literally Sky Drop but worse.

Could i null out my opponents accuracy completely this way? it has no weakness in its current state, though i can't think of any way to balance it.
Honestly if you can think of a name, special burn makes the most sense for a dark status as its suppose to shit on Psychic(a mostly special type), i was thinking something like stressed or something.
>Dazzled
I guess this makes some sense, it would mostly be a doubles thing; which makes it a bit distinct i guess.

>Unstable/Ground: Each time the pokemon is hit, it loses 20% of its health and then if it tries to attack during the turn it was hit, it has a 50% chance to flinch. Also boosts the power of earthquake type attacks by the user
>Buzzed/Bug: Special Defense is halved for non-bugs, cannot use the same move in a row. Negated by soundproof
>Encased/Steel: Both defense stats get a +25% boost, but all moves have a 70% chance to fail unless steel type
>Chi-Block/Fighting: All of the users attacks use their physical stat
>Shamed/Dragon: Non-super effective attacks from the user fail
>Numbed/Psychic: All of the users attacks use their special stat.(i'm pretty sure confusion is considered the psychic status, though this is here just in case)

One of these days I really do want to do a statistical analysis of Pokemon. As an RPG you can do that sort of thing with relative ease, although going through so many fucking games will be a problem, especially with third versions and remakes mixing that sort of thing up. The worst part is that while I think average team size will probably go down over the course of the generations, the only thing that will increase is Pokemon variety will go up (both in general because there's more Pokemon, the percentage of the total Pokemon, and in Pokemon repeating less). That having been said if you account for things like more items being handed out, increased move options, and changes to EXP you'll find that all that will go up, probably a little steeper than items that were added. Basically my theory isn't necessarily that trainer battles are getting super easy, but that they're getting a little easier while you get a lot more powerful and are given more items and options. In other words, in order to make Pokemon more difficult without changing anything else, you must limit the player's options. Think the GameCube games, in a way. Or to reduce it even more, Gale of Darkness' Battle Sims or B2W2's Pokestar Studios.

Sound type is stupid. Sound isn't a traditional "elemental" type in RPGs and sound is just vibrating the air. Fits right in with either Normal or Flying types. Plus sound based moves are already a subclass of moves now since they all bypass certain moves and are affected by Soundproof.

Well that and nearly every trainer having sub-4 Pokemon in their party, including Gym Leaders/Kahunas, rivals, and evil team leaders.
>In other words, in order to make Pokemon more difficult without changing anything else, you must limit the player's options.
See that's how I'm approaching my romhack idea, actually. Since it's going to be based on the Delta Species and Holon from the TCG I wanted to make the game less about going around and beating gyms and an evil team and more about exploring. I'd first somehow implement a limit to how much you can carry at a time so your bag isn't filled with 99x Hyper Potions and 99x Revives and 99x Max Repels so one can power through the wilderness. Then I would make obtaining those items difficult, either through limited supply or through limited funding. And then make it so that wild Pokemon are A. threatening and B. not easily avoided or not able to easily run away from.

I meant in terms of technical accuracy, like would 100 accuracy moves always miss if more accuracy drops are given to the statused pokemon?

These don't really sound like "dark" statuses, it sounds more ghost like than evil or darkness based.
They could still work for such a status though.

For a lot of the leftover types, you really have to be reaching for status effects; never mind the fact they had to have no overlap with at least ten other statuses.

>A new condition would probably be the best solution. Migraine is a good name.
Except I feel that "Migraine" is way too specific of a name, plus with names like "Migraine, Dazed, etc." they sound like alternatives to confusion, which we already have. I'd do Hexed or something if I could figure out a reason why it would do 1/16 HP damage per turn like Burn does and then just change the name of the Hex attack to its original Japanese name of "Evil Eye", but then I'd also have to figure out a way to balance the moves that would cause Hexing considering a lot of Ghost types would learn them and they already are able to learn Will-o-Wisp. Speaking of there are a lot of moves that had their names changed for some asinine reasons ever since the beginning. Confusion, the attack, was "Mindpower" in Japanese. Aerial Ace was "Swallow Cut", which is a pun based off the sword technique name considering it came out the same generation Swellow did.

>Not sure what you mean by this
Well take Paralysis for example. Paralysis is caused, in-game, from various attacks including from Electric based attacks, Normal type attacks (physical like Body Slam and status like Glare), Grass type attacks, Lick (a Ghost type attack), etc. The nature of the paralysis isn't specified from the name, it just falls under the moniker of paralysis since multiple moves cause it. Burn and poison are similar, we're never explained what kinds of burns or poisoning happen. The only two status effects that are pretty specific are freezing and sleep. That's why I have an issue with the "Migrane" name for a Special Attack reducing Burn alternative: It's too specific of an ailment.

The explanation for unstable works, though unstable is as stupid as name as ever.
>Water type moves could cure it
The water thing works for the current explanation, if that changes obviously the water thing wouldn't make sense anymore.
>For a failure chance of 50%, encased should be temporary as well
The idea was that it was "positive" for steels so i guess for other types it could wear off after a while.
It makes sense that after struggling for a few turns that the pokemon would break out of its shell, whereas its natural for steels to be covered in steel.
>Shell Smash/Weak Armor could cure it without the usual defense losses
It works from a niche point of view, the likelihood of any of those pokemon ever getting hit by this status is low but it makes sense as an interaction.
It might come up sometimes though it matters how the status is distributed in the first place(though thats the case with most of these).
>I don't like the idea of being cured when the inflicting pokemon faints, since other statuses are only dependent on the affected pokemon
The original idea behind doesn't really make sense now that i think about it… I don't really care if it stays.
>It also possibly needs some consideration for status moves
It doesn't affect status then, its not like many statuses super effective to dragon exist and it was never intended to shut down status totally; its not cured by status moves of course.
>Chi Block and its special equivalent might also be better off as temporary status conditions
I guess that makes sense… it can be on a timer like freeze/sleep.
>Acupressure as a cure is a no-brainer, but I am somewhat pressed for other options
My initial idea was for it to be cured by all stat gains, though now that i think about it; it only makes sense for offensive stat gains(speed and the attacking stats) to cure it.

All the Spiky Eared Pichu merch that was shoveled out during the HGSS days begs to differ. Here's the thing with Pokemon merch: It sells if it's Pikachu, Eevee or an Eeveelution, featured in the anime either on Ash's team, with Team Rocket, or other prominent characters, or if it's just popular at the time. Eevee is always popular, and the Eevee in Let's Go is clearly meant to be a unique Eevee that can't/doesn't want to evolve and has a unique marking and it'll be locked to this game only.

Smogon metagame has always been artificial garbage, it just smells worse than usual.

It's never worth it to get the first two versions unless a miracle happens, although depending on how things go in Gen 8 you might get Crazy Diamond and Pearl Jam instead of a third version. I play on pirating it, although if I really need to go online I could probably pick up a cheap used copy and transfer my save.

>Sorry for the vaugeness, I meant smogon
As >>15211057 said Smogon's metagames are all artificial based on arbitrary rulings over usage and what's broken within those usage tiers.

Unless people pressure them into doing it, I doubt they would do that.

Its really irritating how much shit uses smogon as its ruleset.
Sleep clause is legit an ancient relic, it was from gen 1 tourney rules(and even then it was limited to two pokemon, not one);
and sleep has been nerfed a shit ton since then.
I don't think i have to explain why banning strategies(baton pass) is colossal bullshit.
So the only way to use things that are haram to smogon in shit like showdown is to play with legendaries, which is really dumb.

Probably a common question, but how can I get the base ROM to play volt white? I cannot find anything anywhere.

I found this at least and my testing shows it works.

on the original hardware it looks very nice, everywhere else it doesn't, that includes 3DS

I've decided to make a black 2 hack for whatever reason, the purpose of it is buff shitmon and nothing else at the current moment.
I'm trying to keep the stats spread similar to the original's(except for emolga since its just flying pikachu).

Which pokemon would you fug?

Pokemon has so much wasted potential. They're still great games but improving them further would be so easy. I mean we have time based events these days. So making Pokemon Centers / Markets available only at certain hours would add depth to the games. Maybe you wanna stock up on Potions earlier? No money? Too bad. Maybe don't be so careless with your starter's HP too.
Another option is to limit the amount of items a market has. I mean it's just logical. Real life shops follow that. It's expected you can't buy everything at anytime you want. They only stock up on certain days and it might just be the last day and there's only two potions.
Limit the PP of moves! Make caves an adventure. Force the player to choose where he goes since he won't be able to KO everything in one trip. Make catching Pokemon actually necessary! No more "useless early round bugs". They are now your best companions!
Keep TMs infinite only for postgame. They trivialize move choices. Why even make Camerupt learn Earthquake at level whatever the fuck, when I can just give the TM.
Make rival fights challenging. Make them have consequences if you lose. I mean R/B/Y KIND OF nailed it with the Gary on the bridge, so they can just come back to that.
It's so simple. Everything is already there. Just do it faggots…or maybe, are there any romhacks / fangames that do it already?

>So making Pokemon Centers / Markets available only at certain hours would add depth to the games
It wouldn't really, it would just incentivize the player to play at certain hours(or to change the clock).
I'll try to come up with a way to balance centers
>Only the first time you use a pokemon center is that specific pokemon center free
>After that it costs 5000 or so to use even if you blackout
>there is a free heal option, but it only heals to half health and removes status
An easy way to balance this would be to give the player a way to make money, so jobs like X/Y but not shit.
Maybe you could enlist as a gym trainer or something? So something like;
>you have to pass a test using only types that gym uses to gain access to it
>probably just a battle to a trainer a bit below that of the gym leader
>you battle trainers scaled off of your gym badges using only those types
>can quit after each battle
>get money based off of performance
Of course the Vs Seeker serves a similar purpose so this is probably redundant.
>Another option is to limit the amount of items a market has
This one definitely makes sense, i can't really see any problems with it.

Actually maybe the price of centers could scale off of the level of your pokemon?
So a level 7 and two level 4's might cost 3000(I don't exactly want these to be cheap), but six level 55 would cost an insane amount.
Obviously with such changes PC's wouldn't heal your pokemon.
