I like Star Wars, classic Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokémon, and the Oxford comma.

@Yoriden150 Nah it's Delibird. Shuckle, Skarmory and Smeargle all function. Delibird is a Little Cup mon that doesn't evolve. 330 base stat total with nothing special to elevate it. Awful.

And no Iron Bundle does not count, it's an entirely separate Pokemon.

@CrimsonHeron @TheEbonyMaw I think the the Saffron Gym text that was taken out of Yellow implied Psychic was meant to be weak to Ghost. So yeah that does imply Psychic being immune to Ghost might have been a coding error. But I can't see how Ghost was ever meant to be immune to Psychic?

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@CrimsonHeron @TheEbonyMaw Yes Psychic was immune to Ghost in gen 1. But where is the evidence that it was A) a coding error and B) actually intended for Ghost to be immune to Psychic instead?

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@TheEbonyMaw This is incorrect in multiple ways. Poison was super effective against Bug in gen 1, not just against Grass. Also, Psychic didn't and has never resisted Poison, so yes Poison was super effective against Exeggcute in gen 1.

@Just_a_Silence @gopeegirlie @ArtsyMechSM @MelohRush But the version without the SA2 quills was used in the marketing, including the official posters, so it wasn't a placeholder

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@draglann @kzzrttt American Youtubers relentlessly pronounce counties ending in -shire like Yorkshire as "YorkSHYre", Birmingham and Nottingham as "BirmingHAM" and "NottingHAM", and Jimmy Savile as "Jimmy sa Vil" as in Cruella de Vil. Takes five seconds to find out how they're pronounced.

@Goliard81049258 @RobertPatalano @mattthesparrow This doesn't apply to the hoatzin. It's thought that the wing claw is an atavism - a trait that was lost and then regained.

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@RobertPatalano @mattthesparrow Yeah it's not. Hoatzins aren't especially basal among modern birds at all. They're firmly nestled among the Neoaves in the family tree. Ducks, chickens, ostriches - all are more basal birds.

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@CentroLeaks You also didn't mention how Fairy was neutral against Poison, and how Dark and Ghost were both still resisted by Steel.

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@CentroLeaks They also made Steel weak to Electric (presumably this is why it's coloured in pink like all the cells involving the Fairy type are). Interesting that they didn't keep with this change.

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@TheRealPdGaming @Touyarokii There's nothing Flamigo has in common with the beta design besides being a flamingo Pokemon. If the beta design had leaked years ago it likely wouldn't have changed anything for Flamigo.

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@acid_pipino @DrLavaYT What on earth is that

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@badgraphix @CentroLeaks Probably because they realised it ruins the music in boss battles

@bradgaming84 @GreyKnight8008 @HazeTheUndead @MakotoIchinose6 It's nothing to do with "fanboy nostalgia" and everything to do with basic pattern recognition.

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@bradgaming84 @GreyKnight8008 @HazeTheUndead @MakotoIchinose6 Just look at these. It's more than enough to raise a few eyebrows. The comparison to Pokemon taking inspiration from Dragon Quest is just absurd because they're so obviously not the same situation.

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@bradgaming84 @GreyKnight8008 @HazeTheUndead @MakotoIchinose6 I get it, you want to root for the underdog vs the mega corporation. But you can't sacrifice reality in the pursuit of doing that.

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@bradgaming84 @GreyKnight8008 @HazeTheUndead @MakotoIchinose6 You're the one with blatant bias. The Palworld designs are so much closer to the Pokemon designs than the Dragon Quest ones are. The fact your comment has over 200 likes is astounding because of how obviously wrong it is.

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@vincent_m8 @GreyKnight8008 @HazeTheUndead @MakotoIchinose6 Meanwhile Palworld has a Cinderace made from leaves and a Cobalion that's caught up in the wind

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@vincent_m8 @GreyKnight8008 @HazeTheUndead @MakotoIchinose6 Those don't look that similar though. Completely different art styles. Totally different takes on a roughly similar concept.

[MrBoost @MrBoostRex]

@human11037 @pokejungle They did every Deerling though which are also just recolours, although that's maybe because the different Sawsbuck aren't.
