Cause there is less then a 25% of it being sucsessful.

You have a 50% chance they are the opposite sex, and then genderless flux you up. After that there is only a 50% chance of infatuation. It just is not worth it in the end. It would good if it was universal (Gay pokemon:p). Witch I don't see why it shouldn't be, but that might just be the factor that keeps it balanced
If it was gender universal, that WOULD technically make some sense since animals are known to have homosexual relationships in the wild.

So, I noticed that there MAY be a new Pokemon in the Pokemon Sunday footage of the Musical.
It's an overworld sprite but...here it is, I circled it:



EDIT: OR it's a Meguroku...

We can't say for sure yet, in my opinion. That could be an overworld picture and since it's not your character it's more likely to be accompanying sprite.

so yeah

with the advent of 3 on 3 battles and such becoming (seemingly) a large part of gameplay, what are the chances of "confuse" being changed from a chance to attack self, to a chance to attack self, team mate or different target?

^ I doubt it, but there is a possibility. Nintendo usually doesn't change mechanics like that after they've worked and people are use to them, but that doesn't mean they wont

Explain all those useless filler Pokes with bad stats and moves.
Doesn't prove your point. Bad Pokémon only shows the community's ability to categorize.

And name one thing Nintinty does to help the metagame.
HAHAHA OH WOW
WHERE TO BEGIN

Physical / special split
Abilities
IVs to give us an edge over your average casual player
EVs and Natures for customizing Pokémon
Stealth Rock, Spikes to discourage switching and shorten battle length
Toxic Spikes to weaken stall
Hypnosis accuracy lower to reduce the power of the sleep status
Choice Band to boost Attack
Choice Scarf and Choice Specs later on when physical attackers dominated
Life Orb for a general boost
Damp and Heat Rock for weather-based teams
Steel- and Dark-types to nerf Alakazam

Troll harder.

All of which were just random additions to keep people happy. I doubt they were meant to benefit the competitive community. Nintendo said it themselfs. They do not and will not support the competitive community.

And I realy hate SR.

answer this: why would nintendo do so much inner-tweaking, most of which (mainly EV/IVs) we -shouldnt- know about, just for faek's sake as you put it?

Netbattle was made during R&S's development, correct? I doubt Game Freak saw Netbattle and said 'we shud add some randum crap to mke teh game cumpetutive".
Yeah, they probably said "we should add more content to the game so we make more ****ing money."
Netbattle probably wasn't big in its first year
pics or it didn't happen
and the game designers probably didn't predict competitive play.
Are you ****ing serious. Competitive play has been around since Red and Blue. ****ing ****.

The plot of the game is to be the ultimate trainer. Your viewpoint makes absolutely no sense. So, Nintendo had no idea that after basically brainwashing everyone into trying to become the greatest trainer of all time, that some people might put some effort into winning some multiplayer games? To not predict competitive play for a game is completely ridiculous. Any multiplayer game can and will become competitive to some degree.

MetallicMario, all your arguments are 'probably'

'Probably' you shouldn't make alt accounts.

'Probably' I will ban it.

I don't think Nintendo really cared either way. Money is money. Pointless argument is pointless. Whether or not it was meant to be competitive or not is irrelevant. It is, so deal with it.

This brightened up my morning, thank you.

I wish we get some more information aside from this Dream World stuff, I actually find the Dream World boring for some reason.

And what? MetalicMario was banned?
