I think revealing the potential Tera types of each mon removes the "unpredictability" people cite as a reason for banning. I don't find the power boost offensively or defensively outright overpowered. I believe Tera types add further complexity to the game and reward team building and playing

Honestly, I would vote NO BAN at least for now. TLDR: I believe with only a little over a week in the meta, it is too early to say one way or another. After a lot of testing, I find that the tera actually highlights the better player more often than not. Yes, it sucks to lose because you...

Will we reasonably be able to test the move reset rumor before pokehome compatibility in spring? I really don't want to breed egg moves or move tutor mons if the resources will just be burned.

You see that's the sad beauty of the Chinese finger trap Nintendo placed Gamefreak: GF can make games whenever they want, but... 1. GF doesn't recieve the majority of revenue of their games or the merch it pushes 2. Thus, GF must push games as quickly as possible to continue to draw revenue to...

You guys are all circling, but missing the point. The contractual way gamefreak, pokemon company, and Nintendo is set up provides gamefreak only with ~1/3 of game revenue with merch and movie sales shared by poke co and Nintendo. We can ask for more developers or more time, but it really boils...

Back for UU fugaGod

Hi UU, my favorite time early tier where behemoths of gens past vow for limited space in OU amongst the power creep. Stoked to abuse new mons, innovation of unique sets or play styles, and the rise of new stand out trainers. Wow, only a few days in and we're dropping the ban hammer. Are we...

Interestingly after watching the Pokemon generation short, red is confronted by zygarde complete in the giant crater in the kalos region. It's hard to believe this wasn't intended for a z installment. I really wanted to see kalos in its full glory after its rather scant story. But I guess with...

Now that pikaboo BuildLikeABear have "officially" been revealed, how long is expected before the Pokemon site updates with their description and hopefully ability description? As the starter's pre-evo used the special moves, I'm hoping all Pokemon have access to them once some sort of gauge is...

I'm sceptical but certainly intrigued. Fortunately, the leaker seems to have put himself on a timer siting the release of a new video sometime next week. This video like poison lizard reveal is unexpected. So I'll kick back relax and watch chaos unfold as these leaks do or die. Hopefully...

I can't believe they're releasing so many Mons this early. Hopefully it's indicative of a big generation. Ironically, as much as I hated the drought of information, I don't want them to play their hand too early. I imagine they've got some real tricks up their sleeves though to overdrive the...

Maybe reading too much into it but I thought it was interesting arcanine was chosen as a Mon to showcase rockruff. Hopefully his evolution will have similar stats and move pool love. Follow up what are the ranges of HP based on the bar we saw of rockruff. Assuming 31 Ivs? Sleepy koala was...

Guesses for trio plus rockweiler"s secret 1. These are the Mons we'll synchronized/ mega evolve with 2. Going off alchemy theory- the dogs final evolution type changes based upon starter in the party ---- possibly allowing dog to change color and type while maintaining one stat spread like Rotom...
