Y’all talkin bout Pokémon??? :blobworried:
Yep competitive pokemon, smogon tiers
what are your teams like?
Depends on which Gen and which tier your referring too (though current gen i haven't really done much with as i lost a lot of interest in pokemon in general due to SwSh).

I may return later on as i have over 300+ competitive pokemon though most where Gen'd

@joby you will be happy that there's a new item coming soon in DLC 2 that will greatly help your shiny hunting
There's a new item to switch to your hidden ability pokemon like a normal scorbunny to libero scorbunny

I love Kingdra. I have a very stronk one on my copy of Sun.

I can't play competitively, I understand how EVs work and I always properly max before playing through the game, I just don't know how to IV hunt. It seems like too hard for my small brain.

I saw that they were adding this! Honestly, they made breeding so easy in this game. I don’t mind hidden abilities being exclusive to raid dens right now cuz it’s fun to do those. But anything that makes it more accessible to make your perfect mons—I’m all for.

Now if only they make item that lets you change shiny dragonite color to snow while :weirdpeep:

IV’s are super easy in the new games. You can check any Pokémon’s IV’s whenever you want now. And their are rarer wild Pokémon that glow in the wild who have at least 4 perfect IV’s and an egg move. Den Raids can have up to 6 perfect IV’s

And even if they don’t, once your mon is lvl 100 you can hypertrain it to have any perfect IV’s you want

One great thing I’ll say about sword and shield is that those sorts of game mechanics that used to be invisible or tedious and inaccessible are all super slick and out in the open now

Maybe Galar Dragonite? ... or maybe a new gen that comes with a new variation.

Though i feel Gen 1 has gotten way too much love as of this moment

I like the new Pokémon better lol. Like way more. I mean, Sylveon is a perfect Pokémon design. So is the rockruff line, plus I freaking LOVE the new fossil Pokémon that are like mixed and matched and put together wrong XD

I like that they do the regional variations of gen one tho

Design wise yes they are good though i just feel the games aren't what they supposed to be

Regional variations shouldn't be exclusive to Gen 1, and also include other Gen Reg variations

I agree with all this.
I just mean the actual mons are better. The games have gone down in playability and content considerably..... sun and moon are borderline unplayable to me and the difficulty levels in story aren’t what they used to be. I remember having to soft reset like 10 times trying to catch lugia when I was a kid lol

the only feature i want in the next game more than pokemon following you is "Difficulty mode" as Pokemon since i would say B2W2 has been nothing but below par even SwSh is nothing but a huge drop imo incl DLC's.

Yeah true. You go through the whole game like nothing then get to battle tower and :feelstrashman:

there’s so much that I love about the new game and I’m hopeful because of it.

I hope they fix the bugs in the Pokémon following you on isle of armor dlc and expand to the rest of the game...

Like there's a few features from the past i would love GameFreak to bring back other than "Difficulty Mode" , eg: from Pokemon Emerald the ability to re-challenge all the Gym Leaders who have got higher level pokemon. It brings stuff that actually happens for one in the anime where they have different teams depending on the Gym badges one has.

Like i wouldn't mind if they made it a DLC exclusive like how BOTW had Master Mode but not have it where you have to beat the main game before the DLC come into action.

I would also love the chance to go in any order of the Gym Leaders and then have the ability to go in the order they were supposed to if the player wants. Like it gives the whole meaning "A whole new world" as a open world Pokemon game that isn't exclusive to one zone within the region.

I would also love a larger post-game area where one can also EV train, heck even IV train if possible. Also not have the natures exclusive to change to mints but also have the ability if you interact with your pokemon you can change the nature of a pokemon.

Also adding in the whole feature from BW/B2W2 with swarm pokemon too for EV training too and not forgetting once you defeat the game you go back to Route 1 then have pokemon all raise their levels correspondingly though that could be DLC exclusive by not enabling the whole Level freedom to the game. So its players in control whether they want Pokemon to be that level or not.

Though i say this and doubt GameFreak will go that way.

In my dreams they make Pokémon home a central hub from which you can freely move your Pokémon between titles—

imagine getting to play the new mystery dungeon with your favorite mons from your ‘main game’ or take them for a quick photo vacation in the new Pokémon snap

I just want more things that make my specific Pokémon I already have more interactive.
