      There is nothing that company can do to convince me to play a game where the entire point is to not play the game. I understand that you need the money (because making a living, contrary to popular belief, is really fucking hard), but I really wish you didn't market their lies and bullshit. A game where you don't play the game is never going to be enjoyable (and we already know that there will be no challenge because the game is designed to play itself, so all strategy is non-existent).

      Addendum: the cloth stays on in public for everyone else's safety, but when in private and the cloth comes off, the camera deliberately hides mimikyu, we don't get to see it's true form, because of course not, but also, the blind man doesnt need to see it, and the camera can reflect that, we dont need to see mimikyu to appreciate the joy it brings the old man

    in gen9 RU it's most often played with red card to stop setup sweepers who swarm the tier and do some cheap and have priority and zarude got banned making it very good (also funnily enough, if cobal is already set up, if you play HO, red card mimikyu will likely be the only counter you have so it can still be VERY useful against "bad matchups")

    @CaptainJLinebeck 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As much as a shame it was nerfed, Disguise absolutely needed it. Being able to survive 2 attacks in VGC (unless your opponent was using a Mold Breaker mon which wasn't really an option due to the lack of viable options outside of Excadrill), where turns matter even more, was obscene.

  • @Lord_KillerBee
    @Lord_KillerBee 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Suppose it makes sense GameFreak would make an anti Pikachu clone to break the mold of the numerous Pikachu clones over generations 2 through 6, but of course giving it a disturbing Pokédex entry and an ability to take a hit with the illusion of breaking its neck. Plus how in the anime, Meowth refused to translate what Mimikyu said when the trio first came across it in Alola.

  • @christopherballero866
    @christopherballero866 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Immunity to: fighting, normal, & dragon plus disguise as an ability are all very useful traits to have. Not to mention swords dance and priority. Also it gets immunity to several priority moves like extreme speed & mach punch.

    It was cool in hackmons you could use belly drum & sitrus berry with mimikyu...belly drum became so OP when used with sitrus berry and cheek pouch they banned it completely...However we found a new strategy, it's weakness policy with mimikyu & swords dance
