nothing like a children’s game turning into a compeitovr game that makes no sense to outsiders
anyway the real reason i don’t like Alomomola other than its’ dumbass name and the fact it’s Not an evolution of Luvdisc despite looking a hell of a lot like one is that it’s the Chansey line but less funny
i heard the metaphor that gen 2 snorlax is like a gen 6 mega slot. you’re severely handicapping your team if you don’t use one, but you have several viable options to pick from.
does that metaphor actually hold up? …i don’t know enough about gen 2 to answer that question
“ohhh i’m a wall with a monstrous HP stat :)” shut up you’re a wall with a good HP stat and regenerator
it’s fucked up that snorlax genuinely would’ve been a lot less centralizing had they just given heracross cross chop. instead of leaving it with submission as though it were a gen 1 fighting type
yes cross chop also sucks by modern standards. but fighting types didn’t know how to share their good moves yet. close combat didn’t exist. to be an early gen fighting type was to struggle
the virgin alomomola statline
the chad blissey statline

alomomola looks like a vaguely normal ass pokemon. blissey and chansey are genetic freaks, and they’re not normal
submission is criminally bad though. who on gamefreak came up with that one and decided to ship it as the best STAB move of like. every fighting type besides hitmonlee
still a better deal than bug types but come on
i think in gen 10 they should make hyper beam work like it does in rby again and see what happens

poison types were also done dirty by a. having poison be a physical type despite almost every poison type being a special attacker and b. having their best stab be sludge
fuck it do that to every cooldown move. See what happens

you know it’s probably easier to list the types gen 1 didn’t do dirty
Ok, but unironically, that would be really cool.
Extremely broken and would destroy the metagame, but it’d be fun for all of three days.
We’d definitely get a banger Wolfey video out of it.
listen vgc is cool but i think vgc should have to suffer ideas designed for singles players for once

Pokemon should just have a list of dumb things that they do to moves and Pokemon every week to see how they affect the competitive landscape.
give gholdengo the 140 base power steel type boomburst with no downside that i heard make it rain was originally supposed to be once just to prove to those designers how awful it would be
