    The Horse Council is ignoring the fact that Smeargle can also learn the move Transform, meaning that it can in fact transform into a proper horse like Magcargo or Snorlax.

    I would like to add another buff of the Poison type, which is Toxic being made 100% accurate when used by a Poison type starting in gen VI. Also a bit of a sidenote Nidoking and Venusaur don't use Sludge Bomb in Gen II because they do not learn it yet for some reason.

  • @perturbo4253
    @perturbo4253 5 місяців тому +4

    So, something that you got incorrect in the video is about Victreebel and Venusaur's roles in RBY. Victreebel almost never runs swords dance anymore due to its main moves being Wrap, Sleep Powder, and Razor Leaf. If your 4th moveslot is Swords Dance, none of those moves benefit from a +2 attack boost (I guess you can get slightly more damage with Wrap). Overall, Swords Dance is kind of a wasted move on Victreebel.
    On the other hand, Venusaur can use its superior bulk + Sleep Powder to set up a Swords Dance. Venusaur uses Sleep Powder, Swords Dance, Razor Leaf, and Hyperbeam. Razor Leaf can actually force Snorlax into a rest loop, which gives Venusaur a chance to set up Swords Dance. They actually have very disctinct roles in the current metagame.

    Some people have questioned what impact this ruling by the Horse Tribunal will have on Magcargo and its place on the Horse Council. Those people neglect to consider the differentiating factors between the two cases. You see, Smeargle learns High Horsepower through artificial means by using the move Sketch, whereas Magcargo learns the move naturally with the aid of a Technical Machine. Any calls to revoke Magcargo's rights based on this ruling would be premature.

Snails, biologically speaking, do have a foot, so Magcargo is 1/4 of its way towards a horse, while these three are completely limbless and therefore don't resemble a horse in any way.

    If smeargle sketches sneasler’s dire claw, it could cripple the horse council, take charge undemocratically, and rewrite the horse qualifications with its paintbrush tail to whatever it wants. we cannot let this fascist take over.

    Poison might just be the most improved pokemon type in the series

    channel lore aside, i use venusaur quite often on the rby ladder and even in some games between friends, and it's actually not the worst thing you could use. it has a better opportunity to use swords dance due to having more bull than victreebel and restlooping reflectlax while surviving one (1) psychic from alakazam. you really wanna get rid of mons like gengar and zapdos first before letting it cleave through opposing teams, so bring support like starmie to help it out.

    It baffles me that pokemon company has two very well designed, immensely popular gimmicks in megas and regional variants but won’t go all in on those concepts. What the fuck is their problem? Why can’t they just expand upon those concepts? Z-moves, srsly? Gigantacunt? Are you for realllll???

    Poison’s the kind of type that I wouldn’t immediately say was my favourite if you asked me, but the more I think about it the more I realise that a bunch of my favourites just happen to be poison type - toxicroak, drapion, crobat, dragalge, the nidos, toxicricity, mega beedrill and more besides. I don’t know what it is exactly but there’s something about the poison type that lends itself to thematic and flavourful pokemon design.

      Poison is crazy diverse, from IRL toxic creatures to hazardous waste and deadly compounds! They take such great advantage of that diversity, if you look at Gen 9’s additions for example you’ll notice they all use new takes on Poison! Paint, car fuel, and asbestos!

    Overall I'd say that nowadays the Poison as a type is in a pretty okay spot. If anything were to change, I'd just want them to make the ability Corrosion make the Pokemon with it able to not only inflict poison status on Steel types, but damage them with moves too and also increase the distribution on it.

    Have you tried the sleeptalk+whirlwind set on crobat in gen 3? Of course niche, but can work really nicely on a spikes team, and you need to have crobat put to sleep.

    I believe it would be "divergent". A convergent form would imply that two pokemon species had evolved into the same species.

    Side note thought while watching this. So ppl defend the paradox pokes saying their names make sense... Which is wrong by the way. Youre welcome to have a wrong opinion all you want its still wrong... We had ultra beast mons. Take Nihilego, and all the differnt ways we pronounce that mon... And now call it Viney Hat... Would you be ok with that place holder of a name being used as canon Character name and type? Anyways. My side note thought while watching this video qbout poison types.
