The whole game is rebalanced, and it's everything we've wanted. More relevant pokemon, difficult battles, reworking of stale moves, it's just flat out wonderful.

Blissey is a big problem , the rest is awesome.
Would like to see a blissey nerf and a change in gym placements ( cp placement system is bad ).

What would you propose to change gym placement?

That's the ultimate issue because most ways you would rebalance placement are worse.

First in is WORSE than by CP
Limit of 1, is Stupid

The only thing Ninatic could do is next to CP create a new Number DP for defensive power, that takes the CP and adds +amounts for Good Moves, Defenders.

That said, it wouldnt change anything, because Vaperon is going to be top 10 still.

If they went Stamina + Defense or some such, maybe Lapras can get back in the gym club. :)

DP is mostly who wastes the most time so probably things with massive stamina stats (Blissey).

If you've got DB/DC Dragonites you can match Blissey at roughly equal CP, even with dodging quick moves.

2x DB, dodge. Rinse Repeat, with the now-uber DC basically spammed.

nothing wrong with Blissey either you level up or get better at the game.

Do you have any idea which of the newly added Gen2 pokemons would be sort of useful in the Gym system?
Other than Blissey, of course...

machamp counter/dynamic punch or close combat

I think it's only good for the peeps that have been at it for a while... two major things that makes it impossible (not hyperbole.. literally impossible) for anyone later to the game to be relevant and compete: 1) Blissey and 2) the removal of the dragon breath and dragon claw move set from dragonite.

Blissey makes it impossible for anyone without a strong dragonite to fight or fight into gyms. Newbs and casual players are not going to be able to participate in that aspect of the game. Now with the dilutions of spawns with gen 2, dratinis are that much harder to find. Which takes me to my next point.

If any of you believe that not having a dragonite with breath and claw can keep you competitive or your account worth anything, you are deluded. Now you literally cannot get the only character and move set that matters in this game. It'll be even worse when pvp comes out and every casino roll winner and spoofer takes the piss out of everything you have with that one mon.

This is the point where the game stagnates and becomes a big circle jerk among the usual people that have been playing this game forever...

I don't believe dratini spawns were diluted. I've found 2 today. That's more than I've found in the past month. The only difference so far is mantine rarely spawns with it.

I know that's not the point you were making. Just clearing up that dratinis were not extra rare, at least not in my short excursion.

I'm not sure but it felt like when I was out yesterday they may have upped the spawn rate on not so common gen 1 one to offset this issue. I caught a Snorlax (had only caught 2 ever), and also saw a Grimer in the nearby and maybe caught 3 or 4 ever. Could of just been common coincidence, only time wil tell.

Machamp can destroy Blissey far faster than Dragonite ever can I believe...at least according to the simulations I've ran.

Machamp is also tanky vs. Gengar/Alakazam.

Do you find it unfair that people who have played 10 times more have an advantage over the people who didn't? Should newbies be able to just kick out any Pokemon they want. In my opinion not.

It makes it more complicated for them, but they can either team up or level up or try to find another gym.
