Item slot is definitely the biggie, since lack of leftovers recovery is going to give you away in pretty short order (although maybe we might see a small upswing on mental herb use to deal with faster Prankster Taunters, which is basically all of them, and to bluff a mega stone. But that's pretty niche, to say the

... And then it got an ability that gave it priority on all non damaging moves, along with a movepool including Will O Wisp, Recover and Taunt. Sableye is stupid good in the right hands, these days.

Well, I think it's reasonably safe to assume it's going to have something that boosts defenses somehow, considering the description. So, you could run Prankster Sableye early game to spread burns and taunt things, and then MEvolve in late game to have an absolute defensive titan to play with. Assuming priority keeps

And yet, everyone will just keep playing Attrition and Hardpoint.

Even though it's got a weakness now, that would still be the most hilariously broken thing in the history of the game.

Hmm, something about that design absolutely screams "unique and completely OP ability" along the lines of Mega Kangaskhan...

EVs were always supposed to be there, since they were acknowledged with the Effort Ribbon from the first games they featured in (Ruby and Sapphire. There was a different system in the first two generations). The system wasn't absolutely clear to players without more investigation, but it was absolutely an intentional

Are we sure this wasn't more a joke at the fact that Swift is named after a species of bird?

Hmm. Alright, I'll have a go.

Optimism? What do you think I am, Swiss or something?

I do appreciate that the editorial team does seem to be committed to taking on reader feedback, but the biggest problem is that the comment section is an absolute wasteland. Given that it's easy enough to access real Kotaku, having what is effectively a local forum might have some appeal, if only to see a more focused

I never forgave Future for killing off the Super Play legacy when NGamer got the axe. That magazine was consistently one of the funniest things I read each month, and even after I was getting all my news online, I was still buying it for the sheer entertainment.

Ahh, I take your point.

If the minifigs used are any indication, a number of these are from women...

Wired covered this in a bit more detail recently. It's actually coming from a production company with a history of a lot of pro gaming stuff. It feels like this is gonna be... Not tongue in cheek exactly, but certainly not as blinkered and tone deaf as you'd initially imagine. The article is worth a read

It's a reference to Donnie Darko

These are alright, but I think they'd be a bit funnier if his Prof X wasn't so massively reminiscent of Doctor Evil.
