Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

[Coelacanth]

6 zigagoons in pkm Ruby & Sapphire and you could farm rare candies with no end.

They had the ability to pick stuff up after every random encounter.

10% chance to pick get something and 10% chance for it to be a rare candy.

Pickup was broken as hell in Ruby and Sapphire. Even now I usually catch a whole Ziggy squad and farm for stuff. usually have absurd amounts of cash before I've even tackled the first gym thanks to the Nuggets.

Can't say I blame them for putting a level cap on it in later games.

Ok but hear me out. Legends is pre pikachu stuffed animal, show us what OG mimikyu looks like!

I learned yesterday during that horrid gimmicky “Mega” Evolution thing they tried once, that there was “Mega” Manectric.

That is the lamest design I have ever seen. Manectric line was always uninteresting and basic, but by God that is a very lazy design. It’s why I hate how they used the term “Mega” to describe this gimmick.

Eh, I've seen worse.

I assumed that the word "mega" was alluding to the fact that they essentially evolved to be a bigger and stronger form of they use to be (which was the case for the most part). Like I said ad nauseum, while the gimmick wasn't perfect, I don't think you can really complain about megas when G-maxing was essentially the worse of both it and Z-moves.

Remember, they specifically chose what got Mega-Evolutions and the shitty, worthless piece of garbage called Manectric got one over plenty of Borderline Good and useful pokemon.

Then there is Mega Flygon, which never got in the games because the developers had trouble thinking of a design.

Flygon as a specific pokemon annoys me in terms of how Gamefreak treated it.

"Here is a pokemon that is slow, but has unique typing and levitate so despite exploding if it gets near a snowflake it could be good with a push in stats"

*one gen later*

GARCHOMP LULULUL.

Garchomp is honestly a bit more fragile than Flygon.

Then again, Flygon isn't called "the poor man's Garchomp" for nothing since it can't hit as hard.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

A little more fragile yes, but it has a better move pool and better base speed IIRC.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

A guy I know is playing some game called Pokemon Radical Red. Seems okay? Kinda? I dunno it also seems weird.

What can you guys tell me about Pokemon Radical Red?

That is a ROM Hack of Pokémon FireRed that rams up the difficulty while adding some Kiwi Farms-level or even 4chan-level humour, though not o the xtent of Pokémon Clover or Pokémon Sage.

GARCHOMP LULULUL.

There's a similar situation with Quagsire and Swampert. Both are water/ground dual types that can learn similar moves and have stats that favor physical attacks over special, with Swampert having been introduced in the generation after Quagsire's introduction.

 

[Massively Strong Greed]

Base Garchomp just barely outspeeds Flygon. However, Mega Garchomp is slower than Flygon.

The Pokemon channel on YT released the first episode of Pokemon Evolutions a few days ago. Just noticed it now, though. It's short, and I never watched Pokemon Generations, but apparently it's a lot like that. It feels like a lot of the budget went into the visuals, because the amount of dialogue, even for such a short episode, is really low. Still, it looks really nice, something I'd expect from a Pokemon movie, and it's pretty cool too.

Honestly, I prefer it when a garbage Pokémon like Beedrill or Farfetch'd gets special treatment rather than something that’s already powerful like Garchomp or Mewtwo.

Origins had almost no dialogue too, I'm pretty sure it's a stylistic thing. They tend to stay away from adding any dialogue that wasn't in the games, especially for playable characters.

I feel like the series is better for not having too much dialogue. Evolutions is basically just a second season of Generations, and I like the concept of an "Adult Pokemon Anime". This first episode is literally about how Leon gets PTSD from the Eternatus fight.

Origins, Generations, Evolutions, and to a lesser extent Twilight Wings, feel like they are more for the older generation of Pokemon fans that grew up with the series. I also enjoy that it's not all Gen 1 pandering. A full length episode anime along the lines of Origins, but with a full 12 episode cour each season, that follows the story of the protagonist from each generation would be really cool.

Here's an honest question to as many regulars in this thread as possible interested enough to answer.

How would you feel about an "Adventures" adaptation?

I like Adventures, but man does it get weird. Like, real weird, even for Pokemon. An adaptation would be neat, but I don't think they'd be able to start with Red, Green & Blue. Either viewers that didn't grow up with Pokemon would probably be confused as to why there are only 1st gen Pokemon, or at least weirded out, or they'd have to adapt the series to include some of the later gens. I guess Let's Go only had 1st gen, but still, it seems weird to me.

If you are fine with unofficial adaptions, then Pokémon Adventures: Red Chapter is the ROM Hack you want. I even brought up this hack some pages ago. The maker is working on the sequel in RPG Maker.
(Remember to ge the Unofficial 15D patch, which makes the hack compatible with many more devices by trimming som empty space.)
