Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

The trainer cards for the Gym Leaders and Rivals are leaking. Each has a common card and a 'rare' version with a story blurb on the back of each. This is a log of them.
Note: The leaker is playing Shield, and thus we do not have cards for two trainers. Pokemon Sword will have Bea instead of Alister, and Gordie (rock types) instead of Melony (Ice types.)

Ya know...

Despite everything...

Can we at least give GF one credit?

THEY FINALLY MADE A DARK TYPE GYM LEADER.

BEDE NOOOOOOOO
 
Once I saw that Blissey was gone I had to wonder how many of the cuts were similarly strategic in nature.

The upside is that breeding should be wildly simplified for those looking to start competitive play.

Some other interesting cuts are Salamence, Metagross, Skarmory, and Blaziken. The cuts suck. They really do, but I'm genuinely excited to see what kind of meta takes shape with this game for the competitive scene. Competition online had gotten really stale and tedious over the years with some of these pokemon and their megas in particular and it's going to be nice to have some online play that isn't littered with the most fundamentally broken pokemon in the game.

We all know who should have been the dragon leader.

You say that, but the likes of Ferrothorn and Toxapex will still be around. The two most unbreakable walls in the game. And most of their biggest threats have been eliminated. If the new lot don't have what it takes to deal with them the competitive scene is going to be an utter nightmare.

I think there will be some new pokemon up to the task. Walls are usually easier to deal with than sweepers that hit so hard you can't even switch in on them. There's a couple Pokemon that are confirmed to be in the game that destory those two anyway,

The big thing that supported toxapex in the past was it's ability to set up toxic spikes or just toxic/haze however much it wanted and then swap on to another regenerator mom you could safely pivot into a pex counter (usually AV tangrowth)

Now the only regenerator mons we have are Toxapex, Reuniclus and Elsegass who's stats we don't even know yet.

Edit: Leaker found a shiny Impidimp! This is the very first shiny Pokemon to be discovered in gen 8. Say something kind about it!

Copperajah's looks so silly I can't take it seriously at all and Duraludon's is a fucking building in comparison.
On the other side, Centiskorch looks alright.
 
Here's all the new mons and their variants (along with most of the Gigantimax forms) all in one pic for convenience.

Someone earlier in the thread posted which previous gen mons did and didn't make the cut, but here is a visual version (mons in green made the cut)

I think I'll save my money and replay Moon.

>stupid Indonesian leaker fag who intentionally posted shaky-cam Gigantomax forms from that artbook he found got caught by Game Freak because he posted his discord profile pic, which lead back to his shit youtube channel and then to his facebook
Thanks for the horribly shot gigantomax form reveals but enjoy your 10mil lawsuit you stupid parkinsons-riddled pajeet. We still have our based shiny-impidimp leakerbro grinding out new pokemon, confirming evolution levels and posting stats as well.
 
I know why they're pissed but with how tight lipped they've been it's only natural that people were going to do anything to get their hands on the game. They didn't give us any good information, dexit happened, they kept showing us kanto and everyone got sick of it, the starter evos still hadn't leaked, the 24 hour live stream only showed us one new pokemon, then they kept making new trailers with the same shit again and again. Fuck, if I was in the leakers position I would absolutely fucking leak everything and go mad with power.

Considering pokemon fans want to get the games on release, going in blind knowing how they look now would've been fucking terrible. I can't imagine how pissed people would've been. Now people have seen the horrors within and are able to choose if they want to game or not and I think that scares GF the most. They could've made mad bank off people not knowing where the corners were being cut but now everyone knows and they're getting universally panned. I dont know if pokemon will ever lose money but the next few weeks GF will be sweating bullets.

My dude it's a Pokemon game not fucking Auschwitz. There's people who are predetermined to hate new Pokemon games because they're not the old Pokemon games let's be real.

There's enough good new mons that i might have a nearly all new Pokemon team, which is more than I can say for the Kalos and Alola dexes. Imo that's a win. Now if I'll enjoy the actual story and playthrough? We'll see.
