  3. that would make Ice more useful and also put Sammi in a disadvantage against Brycen (if she still knows only Scald as attacking move), barred eventual Baton Passing tactics

  6. I was considering making Poison SE against Bug and vice-versa like in gen 1, but Bugs aren't much better off than Ice defensively, and I couldn't make any logical justification for the latter
  7. maybe make Bug resist Psychic

  10. IIRC, it's explained by the use of insecticides and insects being able to become immune to them if given enough time
  11. I mean, think of mosquitos and DDT

  14. remove Steel's Psychic resistance (since bending spoons is something often associated with telekinesis)
  15. brb

  18. alright
  19. Removing that resitance would make Psychic slightly more OP tho

  22. if you're referring to gen 1, there are a huge quantity of reasons that Psychic was OP; adding Steel only countered one thing
  23. first, due to a glitch, they weren't weak to Ghost, they were IMMUNE to it
  24. and there were shit-all for Ghost moves anyways
  25. their only weakness, Bug, had no powerful moves to actually use
  26. the strongest was... either Pin Missile or Twineedle, I forget
  27. in the case of Twineedle, its only user was weak to Psychic
  28. Brendan Farenite
  29. 03/07/2016
  30. both of them
  31. Leafia_Barrett
  32. 03/07/2016
  33. for Pin Missile, I don't know if anything but Beedrill got STAB from it
  34. Brendan Farenite
  35. 03/07/2016
  36. Twineedle has 50 BP, while Pin Missile's varies between 36 and 90

  39. if I were to remove Steel's Psychic resistance, it wouldn't change the fact that Dark is immune to Psychic
  40. Brendan Farenite
  41. 03/07/2016
  42. yeah, only Beedril gets STAB from it
  43. true that
  44. Leafia_Barrett
  45. 03/07/2016
  46. and that there are plenty of powerful moves to use against Psychic now
  47. Brendan Farenite
  48. 03/07/2016
  49. also, SPecial mechanics are different now
  50. Leafia_Barrett
  51. 03/07/2016
  52. that's also true
  53. Brendan Farenite
  54. 03/07/2016
  55. there are also useful held items
  56. and moves
  57. Leafia_Barrett
  58. 03/07/2016
  59. and besides, I also mentioned that I was considering making Bug resist Psychic, didn't I?
  60. :p
  61. Brendan Farenite
  62. 03/07/2016
  63. yep
  64. btw, if you wanna see some BS due to not-so-good editing, my hack has a few of those
  65. Leafia_Barrett
  66. 03/07/2016
  67. also considering making Ghost weak to Fire, since it's the closest thing to a "Light" type
  68. Brendan Farenite
  69. 03/07/2016
  70. Ghosts could be also considered gaseous in nature
  71. and gasses do catch fire easily
