Katsuya Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 So apparently, they did a poll in Japan where they asked for favourite Pokémon out of all the available ones. Poor Simisear came dead last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA!

Poor Simisear came dead last *Googles* lol, that's a Pokemon? Mind you, I've not watched Pokemon since the end of Indigo League. Back in my day there were 151 Pokemon and that was more than enough for us! I do notice that the screenshots from Pokemon Go (which I can't wait to play, fulfil a childhood fantasy there) just involve the original 151. Which'll do me. Bloody Simisear. It looks like the Mozilla Firefox logo as designed by Sonic Team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCO Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 The elemental monkeys in general do kinda suck though, so it's not that surprising! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Yeah I remember thinking it was great that you can get a Pokemon to help with type advantage against the first or second gym, depending what starter you chose. Turned out the monkeys weren't that great. There is also footage of Zygarde formes in Sun and Moon: 10% and Complete. It's kind of nice they're doing something with Zygarde as I always felt they were kind of a throw away legendary in X/Y since, from what I remember, you don't really get a lot about it in the game.

Benji Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I liked the monkeys, I kept one in my party all through out BW1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWho87 Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 They did balance it right with them in B/W, they gave you one to counter the rivals advantage, then didnt give you the option to get another until later in the game. In X/Y they have all three before the first gym which felt wasteful, when I went through I got all three and had them all all in my party except the one with my starters type until I changed them out for something new/better.

TCO Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) I think I had Simisear for a while. He was ditched as soon as I found any other fire though! Edited June 12, 2016 by TCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I thought all the monkeys were shit, partially because I totally forgot most Pokemon you evolve with a stone don't learn any more moves, so I had a really shit Simisear stuck in my team until a half decent fire type came along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 The monkeys are all a bit shit, but man, some of these nondescript mid-generation mons are so bland that I almost forgot they were in the game when I was trying to catch them all. Finneon, Barboach, Basculin... Look, what I'm getting at here is "why are there so many generic-ass fish." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Playing Showdown to test some monotype teams and considering I got them from OU tier, Tyranitar (Standard) and Terakion suck. I have a mon from the NU tier that's actually way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Oh God, grass is just the worst monotype. It comes up against Gliscor once you're out of ice moves or Ferrothorn full stop and you may as well forget about it. Only one grass type Mon can learn a non Hidden Power fire type move to deal with Ferrothorn, and it's a flamethrower (a special move) on Gorugheist (a physical attacker). Alternative is weather ball Roserade, but setting up Sunny Day on a grass team is basically like begging your executor to put you out of your misery.

Kyle Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Digimon as a series was much better than Pokemon, show wise. I remember being a four year old terrified of Meramon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
