No thanks, I don't need a glorified Battle Tower clone from some whiny leftie when literally every game in Gen 3 and onwards(until Gen 9) has one integrated in the main game.
For a game that is all about collecting, breeding and raising the perfect Pokemon, downright obvious cheating in the biggest official competition of the year kind of makes the ethos of Pokemon at large a joke. This also leads down a slippery slope: If Nintendo doesn't care that people cheat in official competitions, why bother having them? What will they overlook next? It's an embarrassment for everyone involved.
I'm sorry but that's absolutely retarded. It's like arguing that olympic runners should also make their own shoes from scratch, because not doing so goes against the ethos of running. It's just arbitrary waste of time for something that is already full with time wasters.
This would be a correct assessment if the game itself had genning tools or rentals that let you play in wi-fi or offline competitions. The game doesn't have that, it expects you to raise your Pokemon from scratch every new game(you can't even use Pokemon from previous generations in competitions).
Except steroids allow you gains that you would never be able to achieve otherwise, and training in running is actually running.
Correct, glad we're in agreement that you think that cheating should be allowed within competitions, that includes those with tangible prizes.
I don't think genning ever has any excuse in a proper game environment. As you said, you get all the tools you need to make a perfect Pokemon naturally and then raise it quickly, past a certain point it's just laziness. The one exception I could make is genning one-per-playthru Pokemon like Legendaries, which are incredibly hard to get a good IV/Nature combo in just one encounter without resetting and you cannot breed them(Phione doesn't count, nobody ever uses Phione).Oh lord, we're actually discussing the grey area that is genning Pokémon.
It's about the exclusivity, guaranteed Hidden Abilities(whole point of Dream Forest in Gen 5) and the pink dream puff that you get when you send out a Pokemon. I like the ball too, but there is a reason why it's so rare, cheating it in just removes the whole point of it. There is a good feeling in using a ball that's rare, exclusive to events or one that fits your Pokemon the most(ie ball autism).
I dunno, seems innocent. Better than yet another pokegirl/boy coomer thread or vore spam.
O.K., but so is the Beast Ball, and that looks 10x cooler.
Yup, but the Dream Ball controversy started in Gen 6, I believe(before the Beast Ball)
I have a shiny dreepy in a beast ball, from SwSh, and it looks so good... I love getting cool balls + shiny combos. Even if most of mine end up being premiere balls, having those few in cool ones is worth it.
I'm always appreciative of people who trade over pokemon in apricorn balls, because the scarcity is dumb! But at least you can (potentially) breed up to something better.
Over the last few years I've gone full balltism mode and I am trying to catch as many Pokemon in fitting balls as possible. In my ongoing(and nearly finished) Revelation Emerald playthru I did my best to catch all legendaries in fitting balls. I think my only real loss was having to capture Rayquaza in an Ultra Ball since I ran out of Nest Balls, but everything else(aside from early game Pokemon) is in appropriate balls. Looking forward to how this will work in later games.
I'd agree if the OP hadn't spent almost 3 hours straight spamming that one thread with those pictures. How and why does he have so many. Where does he find them.
/vp/ is such a dead board that you can usually take it over if you really want to. I wouldn't ask too many questions, I am just happy this didn't devolve into more porn spam or yawnfag/vorefag spam.
