RNG is the preferred method now because it is far less time consuming by taking out all the random elements. But without it, people will spend half of an eternity soft resetting for Pokemon. Breeding near flawless Pokemon is not nearly as tough.

Never forgiving him for not just giving me my damn certificate.
For regular Pokemon? It really depends on the player. For legendaries? Nope. You can almost guarantee that the legendaries in those VGC battle videos are RNGed to perfection. My comment about brute-force breeding / SRing was directed towards gen 6 for the "new" Pokemon.
I only consider that line to be psuedo-legendary

This is saddening. I see it like this: usually legendaries are gods, but those are more like dryads, orminor divine species.
Legendary enough for me.
I remember that line as the one that made me play Pokémon Ranger. They'll always have my hate.
Yep. That's the only thing I would change immediately.
There is satisfaction in breeding a perfect pokemon, for those who choose to do it. I've only done it a couple of times but I kinda like the grind. You only really need it for competitive level battling anyway.

Ehhh, only seems "cool" because it's the new hot thing.
I never saw much reason to think it was Norse. The huge post someone made on they're site that everyone cites also makes some huge leaps and uses points that even wiki can't prove.

I'm happy you like it. Finally :/
Wasn't saying it was feasible, just that Norse stuff is and always was cool. =)
Speculation is fun no matter how insane it gets.

I was also thinking about, what if we had some passive moves. That act like abilities but take a slot.
Like for example Magnet Rise, will eliminate the ground weakness completely but will only leave you with 3 moves.
It should work great with things like SafeGuard, or mud sport. Of course things like Reflect, Sunny Day/Rain Dance and other will still work like the move, so there's still the 5 turn limit but they will activate automatically upon switching in. While things like Mud Sport will be on as long as the pokemon is out.
There's a lot of things that need to be tweak for it to no be broken, but it should be cool. Kind of Like Persona 4.

I would completely be ok with that
Not a bad idea.
"Magnet Rise" reminds me of pokemon with sprites that are clearly floating/flying yet are still affected by ground-type moves. It bothers me so much.

Nah they need to be activated first. Having them be passive right off the bat would render them broken. Besides, you already have abilities for that.
Anyway we need more Chespin.

Haha! Coincidence? I read about a similar Idea (in a fairly extensive post) here: http://www.notenoughshaders.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=334#p1440
Some of it is a bit radical for my tastes but the passive Abilities in move slot sounds good.

auto weather effects besides drizzle/drout/sand stream and snow warning would be so broken.
dat suto sand rush excadrill
dat auto swift swim kindra...floatzel <3
Auto-Sand Excadrill might by scary but he will have to deal with only 3 moves, if he chooses to use Sword Dance, then he will only have 2 slots for attack, that guarantees that some pokemon will resist both of his attacks. And it's still just 5 turns, so it's actually less broken than having him out of the open while a Tynaritar already set up infinite Sandstorm.
But yeah, I see where you are coming from. Big changes like that need to be tested thoroughly. That's why it will never happen =(

Seriously, my biggest problem with Starmie is 4MSS. I always cringe when I try to come up with a moveset for it.
Pokemon Ranger wasn't that bad. Eh.
Pokemon Trading Card Game for Gameboy.

it's the only one I've played aside from Stadium so it's not fair, but Pinball was fucking awesome. I sucked at it.

Definitely Conquest, its brilliant. Only when you complete the main story and you seem to lose your warriors/pokemon I didn't feel the urge to carry on through those extra missions.. Perhaps I should while I wait for this game.

Man, that game was boring though
Inb4 scraftydevil
I totally forgot since I've only played one. I believe it was Explorers of Darkness and it was surprisingly really fun. I picked Charmander and had a Pikachi as my buddy.
Ooh, tricky to say. Top 3
1. Pokémon Rumble Blast
2. Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia/Guardian Signs
3. PokéPark 2 (Seriously, the battle system is awesome. I'd love for them to enhance that for a harder, less kid-focused game)
All of those are the most fun spin-off games I have covered. Snap is close, but it's a bit over-rated, and way too linear

Really? I heard your favourite was all the dungeon games for an equal tie in first.
Maybe my sauce was wrong.
The Dungeon games redeeming factor is the story (Outside of the WiiWare ones, they didn't even have that). The gameplay, however, leaves a lot to be desired

Good thing I play games for the story
That way I would be fine with any gameolay that is at least OK.

Yeah, it's bad that the 3DS MD game has no feels 
Also you think Cynthia will appear again in polygon/3D glory?

Make her so that she never ceases appearing since her debut. Nine games in a row
I'd like to see this break double digits.- Status
