@litttens @liljon042 @Protomario I mean that’s pretty cool but not the most notable part. I think I’ll just say that I disagree with most of things you’ve said and leave it at that.

@Cedlovv @liljon042 @Protomario hell, the johto region in general 😭 if the most notable part of gen 2 is "you can visit gen 1!" I think that says a lot about the actual quality of the generation

Revisionist hard at work I see. How long till Gen 3 isn't good essays on YouTube?

@litttens @liljon042 @Protomario You kinda have to explain mewtwo though, it’s a man made pokemon. The legendary birds direct comparison are the legendary beast and they definitely do more than the birds do, their origins are even tied to ho-oh which adds more to what ho-oh can do.

@Cedlovv @liljon042 @Protomario gen 1 had more interesting lore with the legendaries and 3 of them were birds that, nowadays r seen as total bums 🥹 because at least they DO something

@litttens @liljon042 @Protomario Ho-oh is fine it’s like a sorta guardian deity, it’s a phoenix and does phoenix things. And that was fine for the time, Lugia is admittedly an afterthought though. It’s the only time when one version feels more canon than the other.

@liljon042 @Protomario plus, the legendaries have basically no lore attached to them. I mean what does Ho-Oh do other than fly and be **rumored** to grant wishes? something that ain't even unique to Ho-Oh? lmao

@litttens @liljon042 @Protomario There’s like 4 gen 2 Pokémon that are only in Kanto. I think this reason has always been an exaggeration.

@liljon042 @Protomario level curve, there being barely any johto pokemon in johto (to the point where barely any of the gym leaders HAVE johto mons), weak pokemon, etc etc

@Bolt8091 @ShinobiVaultHQ I respect it.

@Cedlovv @ShinobiVaultHQ I'll find a way.

Which would you choose?

@NellOnTheWall @ShinobiVaultHQ To be fair some people wouldn’t wanna live for thousands of years, and saiyans are the only race option that live normal lives.

@Cedlovv @ShinobiVaultHQ hmmm that would make this whole scenario invalid then, wouldn't it? Of course, you'd pick the option that's the strongest if we didn't have to worry about pros and cons of our world and not the actual shows pros and cons.

@Bolt8091 @ShinobiVaultHQ While cool, you’d be limited by time saiyans don’t live much longer than humans, saiyans decline in their 80’s and you probably wouldn’t even reach those transformations before then without other super powered people to break your limits against.

@ShinobiVaultHQ Saiyan. 1. I don't want to have OP power from the start, i want to EARN it. 2. I have not limits so I can push my strength to new heights. 3. Who wouldn't want to go super saiyan? 4. Mmmm, Monkie.

@NellOnTheWall @ShinobiVaultHQ I think the idea is that you take the pill and you become of these races in our world. So Kryptonite wouldn’t exist in this scenario.

@ShinobiVaultHQ As long as you train Saiyans don't have a natural weakness like the Martians and krytonians. While also being stronger than Viltrumites. So I'll go with Saiyan.

@_drew_p_weiner @ShitpostRock2 The way new pokemon were handled in Gen 2 was that they were all recently discovered between Gen 1 and 2. Not that they were all from the new region like Gen 3+ handles it. Also there’s really only like 4 or 5 pokemon that are Kanto only, saying most is an exaggeration.

@ShitpostRock2 What if you didn't already like GSC before then lol? I didn't play them til I was much older and they're unbalanced very easy games. Why can't you catch most of the Johto pokemon in Johto? Also Kanto feels like an afterthought, it's so truncated. HGSS are superior honestly.

MANY SUCH CASES

@Kek08029454 @HisNameIsYours @ShitpostRock2 Why does it matter if it’s a Kanto evo? Heracross is good even without stab especially for how early you can get it, having a base 120+attack mon potentially around badge 2 is crazy.

@HisNameIsYours @ShitpostRock2 Belosson is a Kanto evolution. Houndoom is post game. Swinub is garbage by the time you get it. Tyranitar is literally mt. Silver exclusive. Umbreon another Kanto evo. Hercross has the most ass moveset in gen 2.

@vladutelu @ShitpostRock2 Girl mc, first gen with online technically, shiny Pokémon, dark and steel type. Day/night cycle, breeding and etc and was a complete upgrade over Gen 1 in just about every way. Late gens would add new things and remove old ones but GSC only added.

@ShitpostRock2 Please name a single good thing about gen 2 games othen than "you get to go to Kanto in the post game" or the Red fight

@bwanasenpai @ShitpostRock2 Lorewise “johto” Pokémon in general were newly discovered between Gen 1 and 2. So not everyone has the new species of pokemon. Gen 2 is the only generation that doesn’t pretend their pokemon have always existed. Retconned later on but this was the reason at the time I’d assume.

@ShitpostRock2 Why doesn't Falkner use a Noctowl? Bugsy has no Pineco or Ariados? No Misdreavus on Morty's team? Chuck has only 2 Kanto fighting mons instead of a Heracross or Hitmontop. Half of the gym leaders didn't use any new mons. Lance had 3 Dragonites instead of a Kingdra or Ttar

@AdamCaller77 @ShitpostRock2 Naw Gen 2 was a proper follow up, Gen 3 was more of a reboot and felt disconnected from the previous games. Gen 3 at the time was the weird one.

@ShitpostRock2 Ok but Gen 2 was pretty disappointing as a sequel. Hardly any new Pokémon, most of the good new Pokémon are in the post-game area. I loved it as a kid because I didn’t know any better but Gen 3 was a an actual proper new Pokémon game.

@ShinobiVaultHQ Viltrumite is interesting because you’ll live long enough to see the Earth’s human population decline as your descendants start becoming the majority. You’ll eventually just be some ancient progenitor to everyone on Earth.

@smith2kold @Ironabled What happens when you actually let Scrappy doo fight the monsters.

@Ironabled Cause this would’ve prolly happened 🤷‍♂️😂

Why didn’t mark just do one of these and drill through Conquest

@StarforceC A trait he inherited from his father according to his mom. After she witnessed him scoring a date with Sonia.

Okay, no, but can we just talk about Geo's unknown rizz for a second? Without even trying/just by being himself, he pulled a National Icon & arguably the Richest Girl in the Country. All in the span of like one game. Saying he hit the Jackpot is an understatement!

@Elia_0_ @rubynesoberi If we’re talking gyms then You can skip Brawly in Gen 3. The ability to do this was removed in ORAS though.

@rubynesoberi Unova? Aren't gyms linear since Gen 3?

everyone saying galar needs to remember the linearity problem started in their darling unova

@leonardoluizli1 @GunnerDobbins Substance that dissolve would have to be extreme and with prolonged exposure for it to start doing permanent damage would probably have to toss them into a star or something and keep them there for a prolonged period of time. Specialized toxins can work on Viltrumites though.

@GunnerDobbins Question, arent vitrumites vulnerable to certain biohazards and toxins? Can they be killed with poison or substances that dissolve organic material?

I will say: the Viltrumite ear weakness is absolutely something Bruce could figure out, he’d probably die before he could exploit it tho.

@AngelicSaiyanZ @SeventhForce Yeah I was thinking it too.

@SeventhForce is that fucking Yuri Lowenthal

I think most hardcore DB fans at this point know the PSP Dragonball Evolution tie-in fighter is basically just a reskinned Shin Budokai but I love how Goku just deadass keeps all his combos intact from those games too

@pokemon_daily Metabee vs Rokusho as well for people old enough.

real life just confirmed heracross clears pinsir
