I guess that's why it's wearing a mask :story: Fair enough. During D/P's prerelease days people called it Roselade so I just always assumed that's what it was supposed to be.

Even without the masquerade thing (TIL!) I'd still disagree with your lade/rade take because of the implied laziness
Roselia
Roselade

That's a difference of 2 or 3 letters, fucking hell, GF is lazy enough as it is
 
My terrible takes on the name aside, is it me or is Roselia actually pretty solid, at least outside of "competitive" play? I'm playing through OR right now, trying to use pkmn I don't normally play, and Roselia has been a pleasant surprise. Giga Drain and access to Venoshock through TM so any Fairy types have their day ruined. Plus, unlike e.g. Swampert, it isn't hamstrung by moves that use the "wrong" attack stat. Overall a really solid addition to my team, and I haven't even evolved it to Roserade yet.

I always used to look past it as fodder for Swellow or Gardevoir, but it's definitely going to be on my "Torchic" playthoughs from now on.

You can beat oras even with a deaf and dumb magikarp. Nevertheless, Roselia is decent, it's been created as a pokemon with no evolution after all.
Everybody uses Breloom, this fungus is way overrated. Props for using Roselia.

For a Pokemon with a 400 bst, it's got stats in the right places for what it wants to do. A quarter of it's entire bst is Special Attack.

Oras was better than Emerald in every way and im still mad sinnoh didnt get that kind of respect towards it with that epic rayquaza vs deoxys episode in the post game. A section that even got an anime segment in Evolutions where Brendan gets to walk on a giant satelite far above the planet and watch rayquaza defeat the alien.

Forgot how cool Deoxys was and how rotom’s “item catalog” key item in BDSP is just what Deoxys needs so developers dont need to add meteorites or in game events for it to change form.

Which are your favorite Gen 9 Pokemon (including paradox forms)?
Click to expand...
Skeledirge, Flittle, Espathra, Tinkatink, Tinkatuff, Tinkaton, Greavard, Houndstone, Farigiraf, Scream Tail, Flutter Mane, and Slither Wing.

it breaks my heart that Flittle and Espathra don't have a second type. i'm generally not a huge fan of monotype pokemon, because you lose out on a second STAB and you lose out on whatever advantage having certain types gives you (ghost's immunity to normal & fighting, flying's immunity to ground, steel's immunity to poison, fairy's immunity to dragon, etc etc etc). additionally, i don't see how Flittle, this little frilly fairy thing, becomes a literal cleopatra ostrich. at least both pokemon are cute individually.

Mine are Sprigatito, Maushold and Tinkaton.
In my opinion, SVs roster of new pokemon is the weakest since Gen 6 but it offers some really creative Designs too.
Click to expand...
Regular Pokémon: Grafaiai, Gimmighoul & Gholdengo, Dolliv & Arboliva, Glimmora
Paradox: Iron Valiant, Scream Tail, Flutter Mane

Speaking of Gimmighoul being a fave of mine and all, I keep thinking they're Rock-type because of Chompest in Pokémon Clover.

Maushold is cute though. They kinda remind me of Hello Kitty/Sanrio characters tbh. Another cute one is Finizen, but I wouldn't necessarily call them a favourite. Kinda bummed the dolphin is a gimmicky Pokémon...

And yeah, Gen 9's roster isn't too amazing (many of them I feel indifferent towards and some I outright hate). I like Gen 8's roster way more, and it's a shame the games weren't great because there's a lot of Pokémon I love from it.

Difficulty issues and the lack of the battle frontier aside, oras were good games. BDSP so lame you won't even realise it's an official remake. No character redesigns, no love put into the routes and animations, just a bland DS ripoff. BDSP could've been great with platinum content, with maybe the giratina arc in the postgame. Sinnoh has the most powerful legendarys and then you catch them in a lame themepark with boring hallway sections. There could've been additional plotlines for Regigigas, Heatran, Cresselia/Darkrai and so on.

Also, why are there randos just duking it out in Mt. Pyre? I can understand the channelers in the first games - they were being possessed - but this place has a bunch of dipshits having Pokémon battles in amongst the gravestones "just cause."

Funerary ritual combat.

But seriously, I’d rather they stick a couple of trainers in there to keep things lively (for a graveyard ha ha) rather than bring back the tension-free sightseeing tours of X/Y. ORAS is a straight upgrade.

Only zoomers dislike monotyped Pokemon

Though, I do agree that monotyped Pokemon could do with a buff. Mainly offensively. Defensive monotypes can sometimes be more viable than their dualtyped counterparts, due to lack of 4x weaknesses
 
Regarding my demake, I actually managed to reduce the lis to 254 moves. One big way was me getting rid of moves that can only be accessed through a Move Relearner.
