It's hard to rank them cuz in 3D some look awful, see Dragonite, Tyranitar, Garchomp, but in 2D they all look amazing 

Goodra was one of my faves originally, but Hisuian irrelevates the Kalosite version

Guys do we know if Pokémon Bank on 3DS is shutting down when the Eshop does? Or will we still be able to use it? I have teams planned out for future play throughs of the 3DS games but don’t wanna be ****** if I can’t transfer mons on bank in a couple of years  

 

I have it downloaded of course so I’m just wondering if we can still use it when they close the Eshop. 
 

I have my ds and my 3DS so transferring Pokémon for my ds games is no big deal. I don’t have a second 3DS tho so I can’t transfer in Gen 6 and 7 without bank

Pseudo ranking

https://gamerant.com/every-pseudo-legendary-pokemon-ranked/

 

9 Kommo-o

8 Goodra

7 Hydreigon

6 Dragonite

5 Tyranitar

4 Garchomp

3 Metagross

2 Salamence

1 Dragapult

 

The way this is how my list goes too (maybe swap Garchomp and Metagross but both are very close). Let me go tip this writer.

 

Salamence is no better than Dragonite and less now that Mence doesn't have its mega. Nite is at his best since gen V.

 

And till this day Garchomp is still the better pseudo.

It's basically the only one who hasn't gotten a gimmick or new form and yet King stays slaying in singles  

[LewisK]

There are definitely some weak points, but the amount of negativity, omg, not even in twitter and that's something to say 

 

Weak points:

- No gym scaling. Like... Wtf.

- The battle animation downgrade from PLA it's clear and sad.

- Some graphipcs look odd, but there are some of them every game so we as Pokemon fans can't really be surprised or even complain at this point...

 

Matter of opinion (things I love but I get some may not):

- New pokes design (even though giving Cetitan the single ice type was an insult to the poor sis)

- Crystal aspect and "hats", I might be the gayest person on Earth but I f****** love them haha

 

Strong points:

- The new mechanic is the best since Megas and it's not even debatable. The amount of posibilities and the way the adventure and the competitive are gonna get shaken by having any pokemon get any type you want... I don't get the complaints, you might not like it but it will have an impact, it'll be fun and at least is not just an same type OP move or a re-do but worse Mega thing. That's undeniable I'm sorry.

- Some graphipcs look cool and we may have the most diverse region in term of landscapes and exploring posibilities. The cities look good as well.

- A proper open world at last.

- Which seems to be an interesting story and lore that might match Gen5's level of excellence (and coming from SWSH and PLA that's a HUGE UPGRADE)

- 3 forms of adventure + multiplayer x4, that can end up being over- or under-whelming, but will make the gaming experience more rich since I don't know which generation.

 

For real, guys, I just know most of y'all will switch so fast once they get released lol

A hate crime, I had some hopes when I saw the Dratini fountain in the 1st trailer, but now they're new eevelution levels of low.

 

My pseudo ranking:

 

9. Garchomp

8. Salamence

7. Kommo-o

6. Dragapult

5. Goodra

4. Dragonite

3. Tyranitar

2. Metagross

1. Hydreigon

 

I know it's so unpopular to rank Garchomp last (I actually like it) but it's always been a mess for me, half shark, half dragon, a skyjet head... Wtf. And Salamence is just the opposite, it's just... The average dragon design.

 

A special place in hell is reserved for the "artist" that put my dear Goodra on eternal misery with that facial expression and made the only change for it a huge ass shell that will make him even more miserable.

In terms of design: Garchomp = Metagross > Tyranitar > Dragonite = Goodra = Dragapult > Kommo-O = Hydreigon > Salamence

The way they had to nerf Godchomp's mega. I will never understand why they gave Salamence Dragon Dance and gave its mega more speed. The Salamence payola will never stop I fear.

Most people will switch once the game is released. That ALWAYS happens. Pokemon has many flaws. But did we honestly expect great graphics or perfect decisions like level scaling? I'm not gonna pretend that I'm okay with GF's incompetence because that's what it is. Dex cut, dated graphics and all that stuff shouldn't happen in games from one of the biggest franchises ever  But I'm also not gonna pretend that I'm not excited and that there are no strong points. I can't wait to explore the region and to play the first proper (?) open world game by Pokemon in multiplayer mode.

 

But I'm honestly getting tired of the gimmicks. The fanbase wants megas back and honestly, exploring the lore behind megas would be very interesting. Dynamax was just incredibly dumb. Z-moves were decent, but very forgettable. The new gimmick seems interesting (perhaps a bit broken competitive wise?), more interesting than Dynamax and Z-moves that's for sure.

I feel like it’s been said that it will still be hosted and then free, just no longer downloadable. 

 

im sure they’ll announce an end date properly (when/if it gets to that)

 

Unless anyones seen anything different?

[Cruel Summer]

Pult > Nite > H-Goo > Gross > Goo > Mence > Tar > Chomp > Hydra > the other one

 

Also Terastal(?) looks indefensibly atrocious from a visual perspective  I don’t thinks some mildly interesting competitive scenarios will make up for that. They’ll never recapture the magic of Mega Evolution with these useless generational gimmicks.

 

Oh well!
