Tell me more about Pokémon Tactical Nuke

TBH most doctors will recognize that panel 1 is an antidote addict. "sir their is a free clinic to your left they will cure your pokemon"
Jackofslayers
"Nah fuck that, here is some cash hook me up with those scrips"
jojomaster
Too bad self destruct isn't a move that a dynamaxed Pokemon can use...
Desomega
The use the G-Max version, Nuclear Detonation.

Not a fan of this gens starters. All of them are too human like, just candidates for the next smash bros.
WhiteCollarOfficeJobs
I have to agree. I went with Scorbunny not knowing that Cinderace was a humanoid soccer player. I think Rillaboom is the best design.
YangKoete
Giant ape with a massive drum seems more fitting for a pokemon game.
CorneliusCornwall
It does. Soccer bunny and James bond frog, not so much.
YangKoete
Soccer bunny could've been done a bit differently and it'd be fine. James bond frog is way too far gone.
TheFastpaws
Because they don't care anymore. It is about merchandise not good design. Something very easy and cheap to make.
morelikeconsham
Frankly, no, that isn't the reason. Cinderace is both a more complex design and less well liked than charizard. They aren't simplifying at
Kompi
That's not just it though, the design philosophy of starters have changed from being animalistic to being more humanoid. There's more to it
morelikeconsham
the expense of design. I think it's more that they insist on finding some theme to unify the starters in later generations, and that pokemon
morelikeconsham
UK didn't lend itself well to a likeable theme.
mjangelvortex
Not only that but when designing Pokemon (and characters in general) it's usually recommended to give the character a unique silhouette.

#16 & #17 They're Dragon types because they're Wyrms.

Inmean yea those gym themes are pretty hype
Desomega
Still find myself humming the cheers from the crowd throughout my day and I haven't played the game for about a month now.

#1 loses some of its impact when you remember the shops are inside the Pokémon Centre... turn around and get free healthcare
Undrave
And you can get Pecha Berries for 80 Pokéyen in Wedgehurst! And for free on many trees. Who the heck buys antidotes?!
dxt6191
Yeah i dont remember a single shop that did not have a Pokemon center in close proximity
Mossiestsloth
It's also a Sword and Shield comic, they're literally in the same building
ManaLifeblood
Not entirely, the subway stations have shops but no poke centre.
DigiT00l
They don't sell regular items
wizzobidoof
Also poison no longer faints Pokémon I’m pretty sure. Leaves them at 1 hp
mypatronusisapizza
Or (in the latest game) cook a curry to heal status conditions and recover HP...
Jackofslayers
Dude is clearly an antidote addict.
DigiT00l
Yeah, who the fuck uses antidotes?
User7631234
Older gen nuzlockes. Really usefull there
DanSapSan
Yeah, having half your team on 1 hp really isn't fun.
HoneNathan
You mean dead?
HappyDuck123
In some of the more recent games poisoned pokemon are automatically healed when they have 1 HP left.
SippyTurtle
It is when you're speed running. RED BAR STRATS.
Muttons1337
Wild Area grinding.
bobnotk
Grinding on wild pokemon is less efficient than doing Max Raid battles. Unless you are EV training
Muttons1337
Once I finish the allotted raids given for the day, I got nothing else to do.
Muttons1337
And Max raid battles are found in the wild area
DigiT00l
Curry?
Muttons1337
Takes time away from grinding. But you're not wrong.
DigiT00l
Then berries?
M4rt1nV
In the field it's nice.
DigiT00l
Not in Sword and Shield, might as well get curry
Muttons1337
Meh, that takes time away from the grinding.
Undrave
Then buy Pecha Berries in Wedgehurst for 80 Pokéyen? Antidotes cost 200 and they're less practical because they can't be held!
M4rt1nV
But that'd take foresight, and effort.
Undrave
If you grabbed a flying taxi (which you have if you at least one badge) to Wedgehurst then you'd get that taken of in a jiffy.
BlastingRopeToWaluigiHentai
All the other games had the Pokemon Center separate from the shops. Capitalism away from Socialized Medicine.
MadMontyMN
Yeah, but this is a dump about Sword and Shield, so what do the other games have to do with this?
awesomecat42
Also IIRC two badges is enough to buy an antidote.
IPoisonedDorcasMutton
Antidotes, Awakenings, and Paralyze Heals are available from the start
DigiT00l
Not sure you need 1 in any game

MistLynx
Are the games as shit as everyone first expected them to be?
TheFastpaws
Yes, but like the CoD boycott they buy it anyways & defend it. Cultist Pokemon fans. The word gamer boycott means nothing.
mjangelvortex
I wouldn't say they're shit but at the same time I'm not going to deny that the games don't have their own sets of problems either.
Shoelebubba
I like em, I’ve put over 200 hours into it so far. Reference same my all time favorite is Silver/Gold/SS/HG and I’ve got about the same 1/2
Shoelebubba
On em. Maxing our your Pokemon is easy now with Raids, playing with people constantly is nice. However the story is barebones. 2/3
Shoelebubba
Literally. It’s just a nobody plowing through each gym with 3 rivals in way, the big bad is maybe 4 fights detour, then you beat the Champ.
Shoelebubba
The limited Pokédex is a blessing in disguise as it gives Seasons to the competitive scene. As they add more, the meta shifts and it’s not
Shoelebubba
Stale, letting you build more teams as it shift. Which isn’t a chore this time to perfect IV, EV, move train everything.

Cont) 's alright but seems to be as story focused as last titles and is still the same formular with some questionable new design choice
YangKoete
They're not bad, I just wish Game Freak kept some features in.

Not even National Dex; There's loads of other things they don't use anymore.

In my experience, no. They're about what I expected, but some people's problem with Pokemon is specifically that: the series does (1/

WhiteCollarOfficeJobs
Some people are okay with that, some aren't. It's really up to you, I guess. (3/3)
Shoelebubba
I’m digging this Season thing they’re doing with competitive. Add a few Pokémon at a one to shake things up. Dlc will do the same
LoneliestStranger
What would you say is your favorite new feature of the game? I'm still on the fence about it
WhiteCollarOfficeJobs
My favorite new feature is the Wild Area, which is what they pushed hard. It's pretty simple and small-scope at its core, but it's a fun (1/
Shoelebubba
Max raids imo. Allows you catch Pokémon, farm money and experience items all at the same time.
TheBigBadBonerBiter
1. I blame the price hike partially. Price tags set expectations, and from what I've seen the content os pretty standard Pokemon fare, i.e.
TheBigBadBonerBiter
2. About the same experience you'd get from the $40 titles on the 3DS.
