I don't see any reason for them to be used tbh, JN mons need the screentime more
Meanwhile,
Palpitoad be like.. >.>
I mean Ash could rock up to the Sunyshore gym with a squad of Torterra, Gliscor, Donphan, Krookodile, Palpitoad and Gible and whoop Volkner's team any day of the weak.
I'm not going to say it, because it got reported as spam last time by a certain group of "fans"....
But you can blame those "fans" who have grown out of Pokémon, won't admit such due to pride as Gamers(TM), and demand Pokémon "grow up" and include literally everything from previous games(Something very few games actually do to the demanded degree) to compensate for their own fault of egos being tied to toys for wanting changes in and of themselves and not getting specific, personally wanted changes via the usage of careful, non-spammy wording instead of slander, libel, lies, trolling, and death, rape and bomb threats.
Can't wait for people to yell at GameFreak and associates for not including quality of life game features and upgrades introduced in PLATINUM in highly SPECIFICALLY requested DIAMOND and PEARL remakes.
So you take a post discussing the episodic format of this animé in an episode-thread and turn it into an opportunity to rant about Dexit-whiners? Don't get me wrong, those people don't have a place in this fandom, but how the heck is that relevant to an episode about Ash vs. Volkner. Considering your tone in this post, I'm not surprised your other post got reported. This one might as well since its really irrelevant and detracts from the actual subject of the thread.
Also, people were always talking about
SINNOH-remakes. Everybody knows
DP were trash compared to Platinum.
I'm talking about the actual battle. Not about flashback. Torty boii needs some redemption.
Also it would be good to see some additions on volkner's team like Magnezone, Alolan Golem or Eelektross for that matter. I always wondered why did none of Volkner's in game team had Magnezone. Its a Sinnoh Pokémon afterall.
Yes, bring back Torterra. Can't agree more.
Magnezone wasn't on Volkner's DP-team because it wasn't in the Sinnoh Dex - most CrossGen-evolutions weren't until Platinum added them in. That's why you can only have Infernape or Rapidash as your Fire-types in DP runs, as Magmortar wasn't in the dex. I know, most counterintuitive choice they ever made - which was thankfully rectified in Platinum. However, I still don't know why Byron didn't have either Magnezone (he has Magneton) OR Probopass - or why Candice still had Sneasel and Piloswine as opposed to Weavile and Mamoswine in Platinum. Those are the sixth and seventh gymleaders and those evolutions aren't even tied to a specific level-cap. >.>
Because clearly the electric gym leader needed an Ambipom
That monkey's an understated threat. Technician-boosted ShockWaves, BatonPassing Agility and NastyPlots to an Octillery with Water and Ice-coverage...
DP-Luxray had a horrid moveset (heck, Pt-Luxray had the elemental Fangs and Crunch). Imagine what a Gen8 Luxray can do with a Agility BP'd to it? Wild Charge, Play Rough, Crunch/Throat Chop, Ice Fang, Superpower.. Enough strong options to go around. All it needs is one Agility from Ambipom to fix that lousy 70 speed.
