Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Thanks for the response but I guess more specifically I was looking for a list that highlights exactly what moves are new to each mon. I haven't played since gen 5 so my memory and knowledge are both way too far behind to figure out what's new using this list.
I understand it's a psychotic amount of work but is anyone compiling a full list of new moves learnt by old mons? People keep shouting out new stuff constantly and I was wondering if it's been compiled anywhere.
I second this. I expect over time he'll fall off quite a bit and Salamence will rise back up a little bit.
I don't expect Klefki or Greninja to stay anywhere near as high as they are either. They're just new and shiny.
Still cool to see these stats though.
I don't think Yveltal will but I...
Why is Chesnaught so low? He solo'd the entire game for me once Power Up Punch was obtained with extreme ease. Easily S tier from my experience. I was actually considering restarting with a different starter because he made everything so easy.
I really don't feel like the series has declined at all. Thing have changed and some things have gotten worse but other things have improved significanty.
The anime maybe, I don't know. I never thought it was very good to begin with.
That doesn't change the fact that he simply doesn't have enough power to be worth a team slot and any monotyping gimmicks don't matter because he's so fragile that neutral attacks will destroy him.
I just don't really see the hype with Greninja.
Yea, Protean is cool and he's fast, but he also hits like a wet paper bag from both sides and takes damage like one too.
It's got a lot of resistances but it also has 5 weaknesses that are all quite common (with the exception of fairy, we dont...
I just don't get why it matters, even a tiny little bit. There's obviously going to be another pokemon game at some point, but right now we're on X/Y. Can we stay on topic please?
I can sort of understand the complaints of a relatively low number of new pokemon (that we're aware of right now), but at the same time this seems like the most 'complete' Pokemon game to date. Usually new generation games focus largely on the new generation stuff with tidbits of old stuff...
Scaling this sort of thing is incredibly easy. If you're at 75% of 300 HP, you can scale to 75% of 400 HP. It'll actually be pretty lame and dull if this isn't the case.
