Holy shit, I thought team preview was bullshit. What is even the point in playing tournaments when the entire prediction part of the gameplay doesn't exist anymore? Is there a reason for doing it which isn't capitulating to the worst players who only play meta?

The point is to remove cheap wins from doing retarded shit that exclusively wins because it catches people off guard. If you know what exactly the opponent has, then who wins comes down to a player's skill. Knowing a pokemon's moveset doesn't make a shitty player any more likely to win any more than having six Arceus on their team would.

I just finished reading 2 manga adaptations of the movies (manaphy and shaymin). Kinda weird that some movies get full adaptations and others just get oneshot mangas on corocoro.

I only watched films 1-10, so everything will be new for me now.

The REAL manga that I want to read the most is the Pokemon Reburst, the series that has the most retarded scanlations possible: the beginning, the middle and the end are translated, while still missing chapters between the middle and beginning and middle and end.

I kinda don't like how in the newer vidya, you're told what is super effective, not very effective, no effect, etc. "Back in my day", you had to memorize the type matchups.

I mean, I get why they’ve done it - compared to “The Good Ol’ Days of Kanto” (sorry, default to Gen 1 whenever I hear Back in My Day related to Pokemon), there’s almost 10x the amount of Pokémon, before factoring in Regional forms changing some Pokemon’s types entirely. After a certain point, keeping tabs on what every Pokemon’s type matchup is becomes a nightmare.

This is a series that, at its core, is designed for children - sure, it’s mostly played by autistic adults, but kids today are even more retarded than we were. I can get giving them the training wheels for the Base Single Player game.

Much like the EXP Share though, it’s another one of those things where I wish there was a Setting to toggle it off, but I’m not expecting competence from GameFreak.

I played a hackrom that indicated the matchup with the move names in colors (green being effective and red being weak). It was amazing since I still have trouble with fairy types and so on.

It could be considered handholdy but I liked it very much.

I love the modern exp share when the game understands and somwhow scales with it. In my recent Sacred Gold, I felt like it was either natural or there was some scaling going on, because even when I grinded some pokemon for moves, the overall curve was quite near my team level

IIRC, Gen 7 also allowed you to turn EXP Share off. It was in Gen 8 onward that removed being able to turn it off.

I prefer EXP share on. But if you are trying to play the hard way then sucks to be you because Game Freak didn't see fit to let you toggle it anymore. I guess they assumed most people used it to make things go faster. But not everyone wants to play like that. Seems retarded to take it away.
 
I was watching a video of a zoomer saying that sinnoh is the worst region (fucking lol), and one of the reasons is that he says that Cynthia battle in E4 isn't hard because just ice move garchomp lol.

He was a retarded zoomer and that is alright, but in your opinion, what is the most difficult pokemon battle in official games? (and in romhacks, just for fun)

Didn't play all mainline games, so YMMV, but to me it's Volo in PLA. When I put on the nostalgia goggles, then I guess Red on MT. Silver in GS.
