Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Cutie Gwen]

Most Mega Evolutions are broken as ****. That's WHY its a failed mechanic. Because it was either given to the wrong Pokémon or gave them ridiculous buffs to make them insanely versatile. Even Masuda knows how broken MEs are, and is actually taking action on them, at least with Mega Kangaskhan.

Back then, we thought not having the ability to hold an item in ME determined they were garbage, but we were proven wrong, and even a single attack can turn around a match. You need to know who can perform it well and who can't, just like MEs.

I'm not saying they're bad or good. But giving them judgement before they have a chance to breath air is wrong. Let's just wait and see. That's fair.

Spider Dance, Undertale?

You forgot how M-Pinsir, M-Gardevoir and M-Salamence recently took a hit too with '-ate' abilities getting nerfed
I just don't see Z-Moves becoming viable despite my love for them

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Psyduck's possibly getting his own Z-Move

Yes, I understand that, but I'm not sure how that means Z-Moves will be doomed to failure. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say here.

Ooooooh
It doesn't mean that Z-Moves will fail, it's what I had to say about Z-Moves as a whole

Ah, I see. So the two things were unrelated, then.

I must've missed it. Did they finally remove the damage buff?

Either way, for M-Sully that means ****. A Flying-Type DE is still going to steal you're wife.

That's because you're judging them before letting them actually have a chance to be properly shown off. :V

 

[---]

Z-Moves I think will be successful, Ex. Eevee's Z-Move, but the concept of them feels more like a marketing gimmick for toys than expanding the depth of the game IMO. I would have rather seen refinements to Mega Evolution first

Props to the dude who asked the autograph for having the Pokeballs to do that.

Fixed.

Though personally I would have asked for him to sign my copy of the Pulseman or Red/Green OSTs. :3

30% boost is removed

Z-Moves will only fail if GF drops them next Gen without trying to balance them
Megas could have worked much better if they took the time to expand and balance them properly, but now we will never have new ones again and it'll just look like a forgotten mechanic that still exists because of grandfather vlause

So Masuda signed fan art of the leaked starter evos at an event and commented "We haven't revealed these guys yet!".

It's like they don't even care anymore

I feel sad for Mega Pinsir, not only did he get outclassed because of Salamence, not only did he get nerfed, but he also got a Special Attack increase for no ****ing reason

Giving Salamence a Mega Evolution was a very poor choice by GameFreak. Especially when you remember Flygon was considered for a time. Like, what the hell were they thinking?

That's why I'm hoping they didn't add more MEs. I'd rather fix who we got now, and then add MEs for Pokémon who need them, like Farfetch'd, Octillery, etc., without going crazy like they did with Mawile and Kangaskhan.

Didn't you know? Femme looking Pokemon are only okay when you can **** off to them.

Just ask Braixen.

Man **** the Bug catching contest.
I just wanted to catch a Scyther, and while I do understand it's really rare, it took me FOREVER to find one, while I ran into at least 10 Pinsir, who's supposed to have the same encounter rate as Scyther.
Anyway, I did end up catching a Scyther, named it Slicer, it's brave and it got Technician... It sucks that it's gonna be so slow, especially when it evolves, but I was going to teach it Bullet Punch anyway once I can evolve it. Plus the attack boost is pretty neat.

The Bug Catching Contest in a nutshell...
3rd Place-
2nd Place-
1st Place-(no Sun Stone for you!)

To be fair, Salamence and Metagross made sense, because Tyranitar and Garchomp got Mega's to.

Starters and Pseudo's all deserve Mega's now, because fair is fair.

I'm still glad Alola Dragonite isn't happening, because then Dragonite would have gotten the short end of the stick, because minus Hydreigon and Goodra, the other Pseudo's got their Mega forms now, so those 3 deserve their forms to

Balancing Mega-Mence is a different story though, but that should have went the Mega-Garchomp route with it I guess

I would've rather had Pseudos and Legends get no Megas.

Because they don't really need them.

Speaking of Bug Catching Contest, did you guys like the Safari Zone's change in ORAS?

I'm personally torn about it: It was always annoying to get the rarer Pokemon of Safari Zone, but the ORAS version just wasn't that fun anymore...

EDIT: This was my 8,000th post!

I never tried the Safari Zone in RSE but if it was anything like RBY's Safari Zone, I'm glad they changed it.

You can now catch Pokemon the old fashion, rather than that annoying minigame

 

[Curious Villager]

I think I'd kind of rather see more regular evolutions than more mega's imo.

At least, for those who don't have a three stage line....

The best Safari Zone so far is the Friend Safari
It's simple, straightforward and incetivates having friends
**** the Safari minigame tbh

 

[Burruni]

You don't pay to get in.
You don't use safari balls.
You use your own Pokemon like any other fight.

Edit: and the Evos image with Masuda's signature is damn good tbh.

Oh right I forgot. Well still. Doesn't excuse GameFreak from creating monstrosities like Mega Salamence.

Male Mega Gardevoir confirmed to have boobs

Mega Gardevoir has a special anti-grope mechanism to prevent naughty trainers from petting them wrong.

To be fair, Salamence and Metagross made sense, because Tyranitar and Garchomp got Mega's to.

Starters and Pseudo's all deserve Mega's now, because fair is fair.

Mega Dragonite would likely be broken, as its already considered one of the greatest dragon-types outside of Megas and Legendaries. It has Multiscale, allowing it to bulk the first strike and use D-Dance. Then it Mega Evolves and sweeps, when it could of done that as is with Life Orb. How is giving a Mega Evolution to a Pokemon who functions great as is fair for those who need a boost? Like Butterfree, etc.?

I'm still glad Alola Dragonite isn't happening, because then Dragonite would have gotten the short end of the stick, because minus Hydreigon and Goodra, the other Pseudo's got their Mega forms now, so those 3 deserve their forms to

Dragonite has one of the best abilities in the game, one of the best priority attacks in the game, and one of the best Base Stats in the game. Not the best, mind you. But the point is; Dragonite is on no short end of any stick.

Hydreigon doesn't need an ME either. Its stats are almost as nasty. Goodra however wouldn't be too bad, I suppose.

Balancing Mega-Mence is a different story though, but that should have went the Mega-Garchomp route with it I guess

Removing the 30% boost in its ability is a start. Lowering its Speed to make it function kind of like a tank would be a good nerf too.

For some reason, I did enjoy it.

Despite catching Pokemon like Pinsir being hellish.

 

[Aetheri]

The Great Marsh was by far the worst Safari Zone...

I liked HGSS Safari Zone the best because you can change the layout and it gives you access to Pokemon who weren't available in the originals at this point in the game...Like Larvitar and Murkrow...

Gen III Safari Zone was alright because I could find Heracross...

Safari Zone's in general are ok in concept but it is annoying catching Pokemon since they can run away...

 

[Deleted member]

I think the Safari Zone is one of the main reasons why I have such terrible memories from the Gen 1 games.
