Pro tip: Females now pass down egg moves. This has been the case since Pokemon X and Y.
Tradition, overworked staff too busy making new gimmicks instead of updating the blueprint to modern standards
Part of it probably also had to do with their mentality of not wanting to overwrite saves. Like when you start a new game and try to save, it asks if you're sure you want to overwrite the old one. If you had autosaving, that prompt couldn't exist. Though Pokemon games should've just had three save files anyway, like every other RPG, then overwriting wouldn't have been much of a problem.
Soft-resetting would be difficult, if not impossible, if the games had autosave.
That makes sense up to X/Y where all unique event pokemon respawn after beating the elite 4, past that soft resetting is moot, specially since IV and shiny breeding took off in gen 5 so shiny starters and competitive pokemon no longer require soft resets, on top of that with the addition of super training soft resetting for competitive event pokemon that couldn't breed is also outdated, about every use soft resetting had has been rolled out by updates so by this gen autosaving was introduced without issues
I'm actually fine with the Battle Factory. In fact, I actually enjoy using rental Pokémon since it let's me practice with a different team other than mine, and I get to steal them with the teleport cheat in Emerald
Ooo, do tell!I get to steal them with the teleport cheat in Emerald
It's piss easy to do in FR/LG.
My brother's played it, and I've watched some matches. If you like the idea of 5v5 battles, but don't want to sink like an hour a game into League or Dota or something, Unite's right up your alley. It seems fun, easy to understand, games are like 10-15 minutes, and there are a lot of mons to choose from. Not sure how balanced they all are, Venusaur is bad and Zeraora is broken, are the opinions of the people I've seen. But I guess you'll always run into that with mobas.
It literally has P2W stat-boost items that give whales insurmountable advantages over regular players
Not the same devs, but doesn't Splatoon do the same thing? Or can you see the turf war percentage during the match, I can't remember.
Does it? I've only seen a handful of matches from newbie players, enough to understand the mechanics, I haven't seen any of the monetization.
Remember, this only works for Emerald. There's a trick/cheat that effectively let's you steal Pokémon from the Battle Factory a la Team Rocket.
held items can be upgraded
To be fair, the game is pretty unbalanced. A good chunk of the playable pokemon have the potential to be pretty busted without the item upgrades.
I've never been a MOBA player but my brother has been playing Unite. Apparently Gengar is extremely broken if your team is good about spreading status effects. One of his abilities is Hex which apparently has no cooldown if used on someone with one and he has another ability to make himself invincible for a short amount of time. So he can go invincible, wreck 1-3 mons in a team fight with status effects with a zero cooldown ability, and then run away.
The game did just come out, so hopefully balances and reworks are in the near future. I don't think I'll play the game myself, but it does look fun.
