I think I realized what my major beef with BW is (what Amanda isn't bitching about ScarVi for once?)
🚂Trainrot🚃
Its that everything evolves so late, which is a problem because I like evolving my little guys. But that also means I am overleveled for where I tend to be in the story because of what evo stage I feel like pokemon should be for that point in the story
🚂Trainrot🚃
so I just come in and dogwalk gym leaders and plasma members >_o

please imagine me when BW came out, SO excited about Larvesta and Volcanion, a new bug type combo and finally a bug that can learn fly!! I love unusually fliers! I'm gonna put that on my team to play through the game wi-

it evolves at level what
ionicOneiroi
*Volcarona
ionicOneiroi
The other volca-something pokemon, brain
🚂Trainrot🚃

🚂Trainrot🚃
but one thing I will say. gen 5 did bug types so good
ionicOneiroi
damn right they did
🚂Trainrot🚃
like peak bugs. and all really fucking viable too
🚂Trainrot🚃
also. galvantula is adorable.
ionicOneiroi
YES
ionicOneiroi
and scolipede my beloved
ionicOneiroi
this might be why it's basically my favorite gen I'm realizing.
ionicOneiroi

🚂Trainrot🚃
I will defend the trubbish line to the death
ionicOneiroi
trubbish line is great!!!!!
🚂Trainrot🚃
also the vanilite line
🚂Trainrot🚃
that thing came in clutch for my nuzlocke
ionicOneiroi
Klink line and Cryogonal are among my fave inanimate object mons
ionicOneiroi
fuck we also got eelektross this gen
🚂Trainrot🚃
like my least fav pokemon in gen 5 is the munna line and it's only because it makes me think of a fetus
ionicOneiroi
reuniclus, golurk, krookodile, sigilyph, banger after banger man
🚂Trainrot🚃
chande-fucking-lure
Carily White
gen 5 has a lot of my favorite Pokemon designs for sure.
🚂Trainrot🚃
Yeah, like, people whine that its just gen 1 reskinned. WELL YEAH THIS IS A BRAND NEW AREA ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
🚂Trainrot🚃
thats why its routes even start at 1
𝔟𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔬𝔣 𝔯𝔲𝔦𝔫
bw evolution levels are scaled very much to match with its route and plot progression, imo, and it works perfectly fine in context of the games themselves- it doesn't matter that larvesta evolves late. you'll never find a wild larvesta anyway, the ruins volcarona is a one-off static encounter, for ex
𝔟𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔬𝔣 𝔯𝔲𝔦𝔫
which is why you run into issues when you start putting the dex into other games with wildly different availability; all the originally lategame mons that used to show up at levels 30, 40+ in the wild and evolved a few levels later are suddenly found in their 10s and 20s and now you're waiting forever for them to hit first and second stages,
𝔟𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔬𝔣 𝔯𝔲𝔦𝔫
they're so matched/scaled to their original contexts that removing them from it ....... well ..............
Eyes-Odd
WHOOPS
Eyes-Odd
god yall are right though, peak bugs. leavanny, volcarona, scolipede, joltik, dwebble...
𝔟𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔬𝔣 𝔯𝔲𝔦𝔫
name a gen that did as much for the bug type as gen 5, I'll wait
🚂Trainrot🚃
𝔟𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔬𝔣 𝔯𝔲𝔦𝔫 Oh yeah, like the leveling complaint is an all me problem, because I feel like the first two gyms should be at stage one evo, 3-6 middle and 7 + 8 end if they are a three stage. But also. that means its very easy for me to over level
𝔟𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔬𝔣 𝔯𝔲𝔦𝔫
yeah i am. the exact opposite type of gamer i suspect lmao
𝔟𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔬𝔣 𝔯𝔲𝔦𝔫
me, at all of sword and shield: i literally have not done any grinding at all i have just sprinted through the route and fought the forced (trainer) encounters why am i so much higher level than the gyms
𝔟𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔬𝔣 𝔯𝔲𝔦𝔫
why can't i turn off the exp share!!! i would very much like to have my toggle back!!!
𝔟𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔬𝔣 𝔯𝔲𝔦𝔫
i am literally cycling through multiple teams and am trying not to level where do all of these just keep coming from,
🚂Trainrot🚃
exp share is a curse for me because of my over leveling tendencies
🚂Trainrot🚃
esp when I want to learn new pokemon
🚂Trainrot🚃
how canI learn them if they get max level asap
ionicOneiroi
re: larvesta, you see when I play the second game of a set I custom breed a team, or I did until scarvi. So it doesn't matter that you won't find larvesta, I bred one and traded the egg and then ah. I cannot use this as my flyer for 90% of the game.
