can't say i really have cared about any games since being disappointed by gen 4 (hg/ss was good though) who really cares though who the fuck plays the game not to use new pokemon

this is not to say gamefreak's reasoning isnt utter dogshit, but if anything i prefer a smaller dex as they really would pad out certain ways of getting pokemon (gen 4 safari zone was ridiculous) as someone who likes to catch all available pokemon knowing im not going to have to jump through a trillion hoops to do so.

that being said im not buying this game

also holy shit -eit is already as used as -gate, and while it was clever maybe the first few times it is now the laziest way to title anything

No Gible through Garchomp line :(((((

They cut all of my favorites :(

I don't own a switch so I wouldn't have bought the game anyway, but no more breloom, ampharos, absol, or garchomp

Aegislash and Pex still in, nice fucking balance GF lmao

How on Earth did Trubbish make it in but most of Gen 1 did not, it's literally a trash bag

Would be nice to tag this spoiler for those who dont want to know

they really did my bro scolipede like that :(

cba to count but theres more out than in wtf and wheres all the mythical ones

honestly hyped to see my fav pokemon 3 gears and angry fish made it

No abra line, no tentacruel and one starter line, charmander, ironically my least favourite starter from first gen.

vanilluxe got in that was all i really wanted

just don't examine the giant smally detailed picture

why do they have the charmander line but not the two other kanto starters, or ANY of the other starters for that matter???

I'm glad I made the cut.

reminder that day 1 of ou everything is legal
stall list:
potential walls (in no particular order):
quagsire, sableye, toxapex, aegislash, avalugg,clef, ferrothorn, hippo, bronzong, jellicent, milotic, dusklops, gastrodon, eeveelutions, mantine
trappers:
duggie, wobbuffet, gothitelle, weavile, ttar

this is without the new dex.

imagine a new game comes out and the #1 way you want to enjoy it is to breed and then use a stall team

breeding isnt going to be a thing anymore (breeding for natures/EV/IV's) if i recall, theyre overhauling how to manage pokemon stats/natures which is really cool

pikachu use thunder

the fact i will never again have a pc full of eggs is both sad and exciting

i dont know what this thread is but no bulbsaur or squirtle this might as well not be real life.

honestly the new pokemon (most of them) look really good and strong so im excited to use them on showdown, i havent played a pokemon game since black/white and definitely dont intend on buying a switch just to play this game

i understand that its a lot of work to add all of the pokemon, however i really think most people would appreciate they would just add them all in, even if it took longer

edit: also how do you not add all of the the box art legendaries??????? theyre literally the faces of their previous games

no ampharos no play (sorry wooloo)

absolutely correct

you misunderstand. my point is that the fucking metagame is going to be fucking ass because game freak kept these fat fucks in the game, and (from what i can see) has removed most of the heavy hitters that could have possibly contested.

looking over the list quickly, the strongest mons are: gyara, ttar, weavile, linoone 1 belly drum in, chandelure, hydgreigon, kommo 1 belly drum in, reuniclus.

these are all walled by the combination of quagsire, toxapex and any trapper

volcarona got cut im pissed bro

VCG player in me is happy for the new, much smaller meta.

no tentacruel or crobat lines

im so sad

also how the fuck are you gonna have the musharna and swoobat lines in this but no volcarona or zoroark lines??????

why did pex make it in man that thing gives me nightmares
