but you're completely correct
no, pokemon's gameplay IS a convoluted mess, result from the company attempting to please both casual and more serious players. you have stats, which are straightforward, then you get natures and EVs...still a bit understandable, then you have random ass hell IVs with variations from 1 up to 32 which can really enhance or lower the power of your pokemon thrown in together in this blended mess. then you have breeding and it gets even more convoluted. then you have random critical hits and other random things going on.
some aspects of the gameplay take advantage of chance such as the ability super-luck or no-guard so it skillfully goes into your favor, but it's still only a small aspect of this.
Here's text in game if you have that pokemon and talk to a certain person.
No way! Could that be the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa that you have there with you? Options: Yes | No
No: Oh, I was mistaken? Sorry about that
Yes: Whoaaa! I cant believe its true! See, I travel around the world, trying to solve its many mysteries. Ive been researching supernatural events that have occurred over the last 100 years. One thing Ive found is that the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa is connected to many of these strange events! Ive also managed to come across some information about the mysterious power that Hoopa appears to wield. So, without further ado, Id like to share my findings with you! After all, youre actually traveling with Hoopathe very subject of my research! Options: Its mysterious rings | The secret of its lair | Its deeds and exploits | Nothing
Its mysterious rings: Its said that Hoopa can use the power of the three rings it adorns itself with to move objects about as it pleases Thats not all! Ive also heard that when Hoopa unleashes its full power, the size of the rings can grow up to multiple miles in length! With such massive rings, apparently it can transport even entire islands!
The secret of its lair: Its said that Hoopas lair is overflowing with the objects and treasures it nabbed over the years, claiming them for its own. Rumor has it that there are mountains of gold and silver treasures that it took from ancient kings and wealthy land barons. I hear that Hoopas lair is in an oasis in the desert, but no ones been able to find the place!
Its deeds and exploits: Theres a tale about an organization that tried to manipulate Hoopas power for their own benefit. After a while, certain objects that belonged to the organization mysteriously began to disappear. Everything from weapons and vehicles to money It all began to vanish one by one. The organization got scared and decided to hole up inside of their headquarters. Once they did, things stopped disappearing! Just like that! Relieved that it was finally over, the organization finally decided to step outside. It was then that they discovered their headquarters had been transported wholesale to somewhere in the middle of a desert! Terrified of what they had unleashed, the organization promptly disbanded.
Whether Hoopa becomes a trustworthy partner or ends up bringing about great misfortune depends entirely on the Trainer. I hope you dont forget that. I think Hoopall turn out right as rain with you at its side, though! You look like a Trainer who knows how to take care of his Pokémon and treat em right. Well, I hope you end up having lots of fine adventures with Hoopa! Have fun!

You have hardly any control over those values so ultimately, it's an encouragement to hack the game if you're ever going to seriously compete. Breeding for 31/31/31/31/31/31 IVs, correct nature (usually 2 out of 25), and sometimes correct ability is not feasible, and there are people who slave literally hours doing this. GameFreak is pandering to the noncompetitive players, though, which just piles further convolution and contributes to the incredulity of the world of competitive Pokemon. Just look at Mega Evolutions, who got the Mega Evolutions, and how some Mega Evolutions buff previously crappy or already-powerful Pokemon beyond broken. GameFreak has no care for competitive Pokemon shown by their reckless disregard for balance and caring more about "look at your favorite strong Pokemon got stronger!". Competitive Pokemon has potential, but with what GameFreak is continuing to do, I can't take it seriously. Or they can leave it to hackers to balance the game. But I haven't seen that.Baby Luigi said:
Even in casual terms, Pokemon has quickly lost its appeal with me, as its battle system is too slow-paced, a snorefest, and it continues with common JRPG bullcrap such as random encounters, the aspect of grinding, frequent roadblocks, and stuff like and hax. And they continue pushing out
I see Pokemon as the ultimate Nintendo cash cow, exceeding even Mario in terms of cynical rehashing to sucker every dollar from their consumers. It's my opinion though, so please don't take it personally. It's just that I'm sick and tired of Pokemon and I hope it will eventually restart fresh.
For you guys complaining that "expanding water" is a weak ass goal for an evil organization, keep in mind that the actual effect of this is like...flooding the entire planet, drowning every single land creature for the benefit of water creatures and seafarers, as well as decimating every city and town.
Yeah phrasing it as "expanding water" does sound pretty weak but not even thinking about it beyond those two words is also pretty weak yourself. Look at all of the stuff they did to accomplish the task, and what the task even is.

absolutely the best boy dont even try to debate it
or how about comparing it to "oh lets steal pokemon and sell them in some casino thing" or the good ol "what our plan to steal pokemon and sell them has failed? lets do the exact same thing in another place"

It's still sorta stupid, since the expanding water thing will backfire on other water creatures since freshwater fishes cannot survive on salt water
...I should stop bringing reality to a game where you can catch animals in tiny little capsules and just let creative licenses roam free...

It's not "sorta stupid", it's recklessly stupid.
My point was that it wasn't "weak" or whatever. Of course it's stupid, what the fuck else would it be? Good? Intelligent? Beneficial? If it were not stupid then why is it the focus of preventing in the game? Making the entire planet barren of bodies of water is also recklessly stupid. What evil plan, barring a few examples I'm sure a few of you are gonna go on a google search for just for the sake of proving me wrong, isn't reckless or stupid in some capacity?

That it's recklessly stupid doesn't really score evil points for me, that's why I pointed it out.Morty said:
