oh you do? i thought u regain them after e4 >.> maybe i sshould just get a strong water poke since surf is strong and most can learn ice beam for clair...

I mean, it all starts in Goldenrod, where u have to grind up to level 30 just to be on par with the rockets and another one in Ecruteak where Morty's pokes seem to be lv40+. I can understand this fully if we were actually given good grinding spots for them but look; in golderod you're stuck the the south route where you have to grind to 30 from lv 12+ pokemon, and in ecruteak it's either burnt tower or route 37 where there are only lv 15-ish pokes for your lv 30 pokes. it just turns to a boring grindfest >.>

it's just an example >.>

LOL DotA2 is original? The DotA2 owners SAY they're the original DotA creators, just as the LoL creators do. But, the fact that LoL came about 2~3 years before DotA2 means that the originality of a sole-engine moba game was originally Riot Games' idea. The only 'more similar' thing that DotA2 has to do with DotA (over LoL, and expect the name) is the imbalance, that whoever reaches lv6 first wins. ahahaha lol u made me laugh so hard. who ever reaches lvl 6 first wins? xD priceless :*) to start off, its a team game, how does one hero reaching lvl 6 "win"? contrary to what u might believe dota 2 is pretty balanced, heroes that do have a distinct advantage earlier on in the game (that is, heroes that do reach lvl 6 and pose an immediate tnhreat as a result), are't so threat full later on in the game. I played both LoL and dota 2 and my personal preference in dota 2 (more challenging). To each he's own though. dota's not so simple that it's just a matter of whoever reaches six first >.> power levels also perform a role in this scenario for example our PL safelane reaches 6 by 7 mins and has treads aquila and blade of alacrity already bcoz we left him solo vs a tidehunter. tidehunter's lv6 was delayed since he couldnt contest spirit lance spam so he got his lv6 at 8 mins. PL reached his 6 first (w/c makes him duplicate via right clicks) but he still couldnt make an impact bcoz he needs 2 or more cores items (namely diffusal) so he just continued to farm jungle but as soon as tide got his ult (massive aoe stun) he rotated mid to save his TA from a smoke gank and had a turnover and managed to net TA a double kill this is what i meant by power level. u just dont look at whoever reaches six first. u also think about item dependency, skill set, net worth, situation, etc.

what do you mean "suboptimal natures"? do you mean natures like naughty (+attk -spdef) are still bad and you should still try to get adamant?

I NEED MY DONUTS FOR MY POKEDRUGS

so i just had my experience with buying/selling, and i find it to be extremely time-consuming for the buyer and seller. my seller came all the way from johto to vermillion to sell me a razor claw for 35k and the wait/travel time was ridiculously long. one solution to this problem would be to just implement fly, but if that's not possible why not implement some sort of trading house? basically this allows anyone to buy anything from almost anywhere (maybe limited to cities). this would work by having a seller "put" his item on sale on the trading house using in-game money which serves as its entry fee (entry fee would be determined by the 5% of the price you put, but members won't pay for entry fee) and specify its currency type (if he wants to sell it for in-game cash or coins). the item would then be up for sale for 12 irl hours (24h for members) and if it doesn't get bought within the time frame it would be "expired" and would have to be put again (you pay again of course). once his item is bought, he would be notified about it and may get the payment from any trading house. items put on sale are limited to 5 per irl day. this works for the buyer too because all he has to do is search for the item. the items would be sorted by "held items", "consumables", "pokeballs", etc or then it will be sorted via price, from cheapest to most expensive of course there would be requirements to use this system. maybe rainbow badge? :D well props to anyone who took time to read this and my bad if this was suggested already before. feel free to ask me anything about this if you find something wrong about it
