The TCG used to be more consistent and balanced. Like 120 HP was the "HP cap" (as seen in the TCG game on GBC). But in the TCG now, basic pocketmons can have as much HP as fully evolved 'mons from the early TCG, and ordinary evolved 'mons can 1HKO legendaries and tough final evolutions from the early TCG. Guess it's that "power creep" thing.
I doubt it'll affect modern prices (TPCi can always up the pull rate to counteract scalping as we saw in the early SVI-era sets and most stores barring Amazon have a strict "no returns" policy for trading cards) but vintage packs are fucked.
I even watched Beetle Borgs as a kid and I never made this connection. Lmao, it all makes sense now.
The only practical way to do super effective damage against psychics in gen 1 is with a Pin Missile Jolteon, and even then your probably better off just trying to hit them with the strongest neutral damage you can. At least Alakazam has terrible physical defense if you can outspeed it.
Go will probably give you the option to change forms for a crazy amount of stardust and candy. I'm more concerned about SV's gimmick being implemented in Pokemon Go because it will screw up PvE and PvP. This won't happen for a long time because we're still missing megas and Galar Pokemon.
Kanto is kinda boring, when compared to Hoenn:
I'm currently playing thru Revelation Emerald and I am having a blast. Well, I'm a little frustrated because the romhack locked the Kanto starters and Celebii behind the 12 minute tier in Trainer Hill and I'm having trouble finding any good tips and tricks for it, but the rest of the game is very good. I'm planning to do a short writeup about it once I am 100% done, but it's essentially what would happen if Emerald got an even more updated version, it's the ultimate way to experience Gen 3 Hoenn with all the QoL changes you can think of, but minimum changes to the actual game mechanics except for physical/special split that only makes the game better. Playing thru the game was like playing Emerald for the first time all over.
kill yourself zoomer
Suicide is never the answer.
I heard that Hoenn Adventures is good.
It ia buggy and I was locked out of several quests, the romance stuff is totally cringe vit I loved the expansion to the normal hoenn map, the new mons, the quest system, the freedom to not use HM, fast travels and so on.
Gonna look into it.
Thanks man
Didn't know going outside was a "Zoomer" thing but O.K.
>implying I use actual money to buy things in the game
I'm not. It's buggy and any social interaction that made it fun when it first came out is dead in my area.
Ghost resists bug, but ya you're probably right about this. I've seen a shit ton of Japanese media influenced by Kamen Rider.
