  • A brand new era. That was the way many felt about Generation 5. After all, there are many things about these games that make it feel like a completely refreshing experience. For one, it introduced what is to this day the largest batch of new Pokemon, being an astounding 156 - a number that shares a suspicious similarity to the 151 released back in Red and Blue, with many having similar roles to those in the Kanto games. However, Gen 5 also brought along another less appreciated aspect of the Gen 1 Pokedex: a sizable group of underwhelming and pretty forgettable duds. Since Gen 5 is my personal favorite generation, let’s fix Gen 5’s most forgotten Pokemon…

    Stunfisk's French name is "Limonde", which might be the mashup of "limon" (silt) and "limande" (limanda), but is pronounced as "l'immonde" which means along the lines of "the filthy" or "the squalid" (or more generally "the ugly") 😅

  • @christiancinnabars1402
    @christiancinnabars1402 Місяць тому +3

    I feel like Heatmor could lean even more into being a slow, imposing force vs Durants. Alongside increasing its bst (Durants rely on numbers to beat Heatmor, so them having the exact same bst doesn't really make sense), its Speed can even be lowered to less middling values.
    A stat spread like 95 HP, 118 Attack, 81 Defense, 105 Special Attack, 81 Special Defense, and 45 Speed (525 bst) could boost its defenses even more while also making its physical Attack be more of a focus, coinciding with its eventual signature move being physical (and also because its physical movepool is a bit better, with boosting moves like Curse/Hone Claws). It would also see more usage on the occasional Trick Room teams.
    Another thing I noticed is that Heatmor, being an anteater, has large digging claws and access to moves like Slash and Night Slash. Though giving it Sharpness probably wouldn't be likely, since Game Freak most likely just wants to put more focus on its tongue instead of its claws.

    One idea I had in mind for buffing Heatmor is because it’s design and behavior of eating Durant, I can see it being a Fire/Steel type like Heatran.
    Sure, it would make it weak to Fighting types and even weaker to Ground, but it would give Heatran resistances to Normal, Flying, Psychic, Dragon, Steel, Fairy and an immunity to Poison.
    And for Steel type moves it could learn via level up, I can see Heatran capable of learning Bullet Punch since he has a few punching moves, Metal Claw for obvious reasons, Iron Defense to make it bulkier, and because of it’s tail is like a muffler while his head looks like its made out of metal, Heatmor’s late Steel moves that it could learn could be Iron Tail & Iron Head.
    What do you think? And also, what are your thoughts on Serperior, Samurott and the three elemental monkeys?

  • @arcangherss999
    @arcangherss999 Місяць тому +1

    Honestly, though i agree with you in your changes to Maractus, i would really just refer any buffs to Maractus to the Radical Red Hackrom. There's many Pokemon who got buffed there, but Maractus slips under the radar even though it EATS. My Maractus pretty much carried me through battles she had NO BUSINESS being in.
    If you're curious, they added Grassy Surge as a possible ability and gave it Sappy Seed (i think it was the name of the attack) dealing damage and activating Leech Seed at the same time. They buffed it's defense and attack, but left it's Sp. Atk the same, so it could go either way for damage.
    It was a pretty decent Tank/Stall, which for any Grass types not named Amoonguss/Ferrothorn/Bulbasaur is a quite high bar to achieve.
    This didn't make Maractus Broken, but viable, which i think it's best for it, and really i'm now really fond of Maractus because of RR.

    Calling Telepathy and Gluttony usesless abilities is plain wrong. I understand they might not be a better option for a single playthrough, but for competitive, Telepathy ignores partner’s EQ, and Gluttony makes you eat pinch berries faster, which could be amazing if you take like 70% and then get another chance to live

    Honestly Beeheyem is sorta underrated. Slow, and only moderately bulky? Yeah. But analytic on its 125 special attack makes it hit harder than even Reuniclus, so it has the most firepower of the psychic types.

  • @nerdcorner2680

    Pokemon has been doing better with giving each their own identity, but it is impossible with Pokemon’s format. In a turn based RPG there really aren’t that many playstyles (absolutely not 800+) so most are just going to double up. And stats are extremely important 1 extra speed stat means you will always outspeed, so many different unique stat spreads just make a pokemon bad or a bad version of another. Also moves are a pretty big problem, they try to limit giving every pokemon every move so they feel unique but it often feels clunky or makes pokemon with good moves that much better. A special attacking water type without scald (before gen 9 where it got taken off of everyone) felt like a straight downgrade rather than unique.
    To make pokemon actually all feel unique they have to break from the turn based style combat in some way (more stuff like trick room but a bit more extreme)

    I honestly love Druddigon's niche. Almost all Dragons are impressive or intimidating in some way or another... and then there's Druddigon, a completely skippable pure Dragon-type non-pseudo legendary, just kind of existing in the low echelons of influence. For some reason I just think it's cool that Pokemon had finally decided to just make a Dragon that kind of isn't important, complete with the mono-typing. AND it's in the same generation with Haxorus, which completely dwarfs it in all regards, so you know Druddigon is getting kicked to the wayside by players. It's like Gamefreak just wanted to have some fun when making it, and that's neat.
    For the record I actually used Druddigon in my White 2 playthrough, carried over after being Egged in the White 1. You really feel how slow and average it is when using it, even if it can hit semi-hard.

    I gotta say, I really don't agree with Stunfisk getting Crunch - unless you consider the Regional Variant only, but, even then, Vise Grip (which really should be the basic Steel-type move) would be better - and Levitate, as I think the thing was only shown "flying" in the anime and nowhere else, certainly not in the games; we'd live in a world where stuff like Venomoth would be hit by Ground-type moves but not Stunfisk, lol. I think giving it an ability like Damp or Dry Skin, to tie in with its mud, Ground-type-related part of its design would be better.

    I actually really like just how much special coverage Sunfisk gets and the Electric/Ground typing has some really nice offensive merits if they gave it an evolution with some real speed. The Dunsparce comparison is pretty apt in that way, as it also desperately wants more speed after the Paralysis nerf. Gen 5 has a lot of stinkers. Swanna is way worse than Druddigon only getting Ice Beam as coverage and generally having an incredibly shallow movepool. At least Druddigon gets Glare, which does make it very useful in lower tier for paralysis spreading.
