Spoiler: Why are they calling Stands "Z-Moves"? (click to show/hide)

[Neonivek]

UGH!!! I just realized

I thought that person was making a Z shape, albeit badly, with their arms

But nope they are making a lightning bolt with their arms.

mmmmm those ice types.

will have to grab arcueus tommrow

[Neonivek]

mmmmm those ice types.

Now we just need for them to make an actually good defensive ice type. (which I am told still doesn't exist... not even Avugg)

You'd need some weird typing for that. Ice is weak to 4 different types, all of which are extremely popular in the metagame, and only resists one, itself.

japan needs to settle fuck down. you don't need to keep adding on increasingly ridiculous shit.

As if this is a nihon-oriented issue...

This kind of thing is a long-standing pet peeve of mine.  Designers think everything has to one-up what came before, and it just leads to stupidity.

[SOLDIER First]

fucking super moves, really? as if mega evolutions weren't stupid enough.

and pretty coincidental that the new monster hunter just released with their own super moves, "hunter arts".

Am I detecting that someone is upset?

[Neonivek]

I am just astonished they never reintroduced Shadow Pokémon.

I mean there is Shadow Mewtwo... but that is a side game (that was WAY too expensive) that is not only non-canon but didn't feature any pokemon mechanics.

There's always the fact that you don't have to buy the game.

Sorry I forgot that I am a zombie completely bereft of emotions only aping the actions of the once living.

Unfortunately, the large majority of people enjoy bigger explosions and more shiny features. So until Nintendo decides it's gonna screw itself and not cater to its audience, we're probably going to continue to get whatever appeals to the masses.

I don't know why you're slamming on MH, though, considering the Hunter Arts, while yes, they are rather flashy, are actually pretty well-balanced and fun to use. I wouldn't call them a "bad feature," because from my experience with the game (which is well over 60 hours at this point) they add more than they take away.

I don't want to derail the thread, though. Monster Hunter has its own thread for discussion.

[Neonivek]

It is unfortunately the evolution of long lasting games.

Even Soul Calibur which was basically a big middle finger to games with huge combo lists, endless juggles, and super moves...

And in the 5th what did they add? Long combo strings, endless juggles (to admit... the 4th added that with Algol), and super moves.

Heck Mega forms in Digimon are that... Though handled so well people thought it was the plan the whole time. (It helps that they were a feature that existed before hand)

---

Pokémon is just going to keep upping the ante.

Though honestly once again still astonished they didn't reintroduce Shadow Pokémon. They have been hinting at this forever!

but i want to buy the game, by default, because it's the new pokemon. that doesn't stop me from wanting it to have cool and good features and not dumb and bad ones

Then you might want to wait until the game is actually released and we know more about super moves than just a trailer or two to decide for yourself where exactly the feature lies on the scale of "cool and good" to "dumb and bad".

If we all did that, there wouldn't be much point in the forum thread until then, would there? I mean, what the hell else are we supposed to talk about while we wait?

Reading the bios on the website seem to hint that Alola Sandshrew and Sandslash take a speed drop in exchange for defense, and that a fire type marowak variation might exist. Probably themed off fire dancing
