Well look at it this way

Do you want a special attacker that can set up rain for more powerful water attacks?

or do you want a physical attacker that can't do as much damage as his evolved brothers but it's a fun gimmic to use?

I would have to double check my own Poliwrath, but I think it's similar to your Poliwhirl except that it has Circle Throw instead of Earthquake thanks to it's Fighting STAB. I'm not sure I want to give that up for potentially higher defenses.

That's really the problem with Eviolite mon, most either have such marginal differences over their evolved counterparts that it's not worth it or they're downright inferior. You really have to know what you're doing.
 
A wat change they made when dropping the Fairy type from the TCG is that Espeon and Sylveon can now both be Psychic types.

This version that I am playing has special attack split but holy shit the learned moves via levels are just straight up complete shit. See my Kingler, his strongest water attack was fucking bubble and in this romhack his special is straight up shit.

Yeah, my pidgeot is still using fucking tackle

Also the romhack keeps the quests of the episodes alright but the mapping is quite bad in this game, it really deserves a complete overhaul.

And yeah, charizard doesn't obey me at all, this fucker.
 
Huh, kinda weird that this happened but in another game that I play (FGO), I got one of the characters by the same designer who worked on sun and moon/sword and shield (take)

They are the trung sisters and there is also a pokemon like elephant in their hats (also there is the Kon)

I remember when Poliwhirl was popular. Those were good times.

Was Polywhirl ever that popular or did TPC just push that line hard in the marketing lol. I don't mind him but I never remember him being anyone's face despite being all over

The problem with Poliwhirl regarding "popularity" is that in the US, it wasn't properly promoted and advertised until the Gold/Silver series anime when they decided to give Misty one (whom eventually evolved into a Politoed). Outside of that, it's only had minor appearances starting with the Episode where Mankey/Primape fucks with Ash and crew.

I remember him being on some merch here in the UK too
 
Still thinking how they dropped contests in pokemon games when in gen 4 it was so much better than gen 3 that they should give a more complete story to it like the anime did

I enjoyed having more to do with my Pokemon than just battling. Ribbons were nice for personalizing your Pokemon as well. Having more utility and purpose to my creatures beyond glorified cockfighting is a big reason Palworld sucked me in, and a big contributing factor to why I just can't care for current Pokemon, as hard as I try. It's stale and all the nice side shit you could do with your pets largely don't exist anymore.

I guess my problem with contests were that it was just ribbons as rewards, it should have a whole campaign separate from it with more rewards like costumes or even itens for secret bases. In the same way that I was never bothered to complete most battle towers or frontiers, if there isn't a reward that is cool to achieve and it is just grinding I just don't feel like doing it.

I liked the battle trains in BW because it had rewards for your normal playthrough instead of being too late in the game.

One example of how the concept is great and the execution is mid is the trick house in hoenn. It is almost like a pseudo gym but the rewards are absolutely terrible and in a normal gameplay you can skip it easily.

It got higher billing than Pikachu and Charizard in the US.

The problem with Poliwhirl's popularity is that it simply wasn't popular.
 
Well, I managed to get myself addicted to Pokemon Pocket (ended up emulating). No, I haven't spent a penny nor I intend to do it. Managed just on boosters to get a Mewtwo Gardevoir deck going in a day (managed to get both Mewtwo EX, one the fancy animated type in the first booster, and Gardevoir, yet not a single Raltz and ended up just buying them with booster points). Surprisingly addictive for how simplified it is compared to the standard TCG.
