I don't really hate it, I just wish it wasn't ****. There's very few Pokémon I'd say I actively hate and only one of them is Ghost-type

That being said bad stats do tend to make it really hard for me to appreciate a Pokémon

I get what you mesn but the funny little guy in particular was also quite the menace back in the day, poster child for Prankster until gen 6 nerfed Sableye and added Klefki. And then nerfed Prankster in gen 7. It'd be ****ing stupid if it got an evolution, mark my words

Just asking and for fun, how would Peppino work if he got into Smash Bros? Also, man Pizza Tower is going to be a learning curve for getting a good rank.

I remember when Mega Kangaskhan was wreaking havoc in XY OU, never been a better time to be a Sableye fan.

It's weird because while I don't care for Sableye at all I actually do love Mawile, probably because I'm more attached to its mega

They need to give regular evos to some mons who lost their megas because they really needed it

I don't know anyone who likes Luvdisc, so I agree.

Idk, I've just always really rooted for Luvdisc. I know it stinks, but I really enjoy its concept and Pokedex entries, and I would kill to see it get an evolution or at least a stat buff. A Pokemon connected to love and romance feels like a really fun idea and Luvdisc has a lot of potential to capitalize it on more.

there's even a part of me who outright wants a Love type but shhhh we don't talk about that

As usual, I don't envy people who depend on the competitive scene to enjoy a series. I know it's natural for PVP games but it feels dreadful to let numbers dictate which characters you can enjoy.

I'm in a really weird state because I don't play competitively but I also like it when the Pokémon on my team have decent stats. But I also really care about their designs.

I feel like a simple enough way to illustrate it would be with examples - my favorite Pokémon, Greninja, happens to have both competitively viable stats and a design that appeals to me.

My third favorite, Decidueye, has middling stats but its design appeals to me too much to dislike it. Also helps that it's still useful in a regular playthrough.

Now for Pokémon I don't like there's Dugtrio, a Pokémon who is apparently competitively viable but is also probably the most creatively bankrupt Pokémon design I've ever seen.

And then there's Luvdisc who doesn't appeal to me on either a design level nor a gameplay level.

They really should've made some megas regular evolutions when the mechanic was done away with.

At the very least, Pokémon has multiple tiers you can play in to balance out the power. Makes me imagine what a smash OU would look like.

Fighting games occasionally have low-tier tournaments, that's the closest you'll get to seeing FG tiers treated like Smogon tiers.

Now that I think about it, I think 65 would've been a lot more interesting if it was Keanu Reeves as the lead role.

Movie certainly would draw in more attention too.

thankfully passed every last arcana…but damn it was a lot. I guess I’m lucky to possibly not have the additional “The Answer” part of P3 I suppose

Persona 3 now defeated. Was a huge challenge compared to 5, but still awesome to play through. Definitely something that I will play again (and will forget the hellish challenges).

now to start Persona 4

also I decided to check out the anime cutscenes to see if they would have more impact or not…and why is there an anime cutscene dedicated to Yukari showering?

So far I’m only chapter 12 of Engage, and this story is basically awakening 2.0. A lot of similar story beats, so I don’t get how people can hate it when it’s literally made for the fans who joined the franchise or came back to the franchise during that game. At least that’s the impression I’m getting some far.

We’ll see where this story goes and what my thoughts are then.

That's the thing, a lot of long time fans were actually really disappointed in Awakening's story at the time.

Then Fates happened and the story was 1,000x worse so everyone forgot.

I don't think Awakening nor Engage have the worst stories in the world, but I also don't blame people for wishing for a little more.
