A fun thing they could do with a regional form of Ditto would be to give it an ability that doubles one of its stats at random each turn, but it cannot transform. And I like the idea of Ground Dodrio! Kinda like Galarian Zapdos, but Ground-type:)

Yeah, tbh, going from Dynamax Adventures to SV's shiny-locked Legendaries in Indigo Disk was soooo disappointing. I like the fact you can shiny hunt some Legendaries in Z-A, but they're just 5 out of 20 added with the DLC, not counting the base-game ones. Sometimes I still boot Pokemon Shield to run Dynamax Adventures

Yep, that's exactly my pet peeve with Legendaries in general. I absolutely hate that they make regular, niche, fun mons unusable, so you either use them and lose most of the time (and generally don't have a good time playing), or you give in and use a bunch of Legendaries until all teams look the same.

That's fair, but I think besides the unreleased Mega Garchomp Z there won't be much simply because none of the insiders mentioned two DLC or something of the sort. I'd love more content, I just don't know if it's coming, considering Gen 10 and Pokemon Champions. What would you like to see?

Agreed, 100%! There would have been dozens of solutions if they really wanted, but I think it was easier to cut abilities or make it a unified theme with PLA. Still, I would have loved abilities in this game, and it'sa shame there's only a handful

I get what you mean, but I think there could have been creative solutions. For example, make Intimidate lower the attack on the next hit from the Pokemon that has it, or maybe give it a small area around the Pokemon that only influences those within. Another idea yet could have been to make Intimidate work on line of sight, so only the Pokemon that are directly visible from the Intimidate mon when it comes out. A limitation could be to make it only work once per life, so even if you have three mons with Intimidate, only the first procs. So yeah, I think there would have been solutions of all kinds, just a bit more complex than the typical on-enter effect. What do you think?

Yeah, it's no coincidence they have several devs in common. Titan Quest really is great, and I hope the sequel can be in a better state when it fully comes out. If not, at least there's a new Grim Dawn expansion!

Last Epoch is so cool! I remember following its development since the PoE days, when the lead dev would go to Exilecon with merch and promote the game. What makes it the best ARPG you played, if I can ask?

I mean, that's true, but that requires time to do, or you need to catch Alphas, specifically. If you want to maximize the stats of your shiny mons or simply do it mindlessly, this trick is so much better because you also get gold and XP in the process!

That's very interesting, thanks! I'll see if I can find any good gloves to replace the unique ones and check damage afterward. But yeah, the Paladin is such a good class! What affixes do you have on your gloves?

Josh To be completely honest, I stopped playing Spiritborn very early after its release because I tried most builds on launch and Rogue/Druid were still my favorites lol

Oh yeah that's for sure, but the thing is, Spiritborn has always been the meta class or the class with the most powerful/largest number of meta builds in the game since it came out. There have been exceptions, like Raven Druid, but the other classes rarely have multiple broken builds.

It's true that Indonesia is part of SE Asia, but it's so vast that I feel like dismissing it wouldn't do it justice. But I can definitely see why you picked up on it as a region before the new leaks! I would have loved Greece, personally, having been there so many times, but Asian islands sound just as charming. But yeah, I do think the leaks are genuine, so unless they scrapped the project entirely, it's most likely turning out true.
