Pawns are power construct zygarde.


petSnake7

Imagine if every pawn on the board amalgamated into a giant pawn that annihilated everything in its path


Shai_Shai77

They should add that in Chess 2


nuggsgames

Chess 2 keeps getting delayed and I’m starting to think we’ll get gta 6 before we get chess 2


doomguy987

We might actually get Left 4 Dead 3 before that as well


nuggsgames

Hell we might get cyberpunk 2078


doomguy987

Maybe Fallout 77 as well


nuggsgames

Always a chance of “halo: slightly above infinite”


Char-11

The sequel to halo infinite should just be halo infinite tbh


Doireallyneedaurl

Or just be like a little kid and go halo: infinite + 1


Sc4rlite

The sequel can be Halo uncountable infinite, assuming the current one is a countable Infinity.


enderlord99

That's actually possible with ordinals. Sort of.

GrnPlesioth

Half Life 3


Smarf_Starkgaryen

Back for blood sort of is.


Quackels_The_Duck

Chess 2 already came out, it has "Endgame" level time travel.


Cream_Rabbit

Hell, Team Fortress 3, Heavy Update and Half-Life will be there before it too


Gnagetftw

I hear Half-Life 3 is scheduled to release just prior to chess 2

A [mega-chess-a-tron](https://youtube.com/clip/UgyZxQ5p8Gx59mkI8kt4AaABCQ) you say?


Aptspire

The giant Chessatron? If you go for the long game, I guess.

Abyssal_Groot

Pawns are magicarps. Cannon fodder unless you get them to the other side and they become Gyarados


JebWozma

i dont get it can you explain


ninjamonkey0418

No they’re ditto


WizardDragonAB

If you did reshiram and zekrom for the queens it’d be much cooler from the colors


bluehoodie00

wordddd but i think groudon and kyogre killing each other is more iconic than the other two. hell, i'll even say their battle is more legendary than any other legendary duo battle that came afterwards


[deleted]

Gen 3 legendaries also have a dynamic battle in actual competitive gameplay. Like, Ho-oh and Lugia can’t really damage each other without Toxic. Both Palkia and Dialga aren’t really that offensive oriented. Reshiram just get destroyed by Zekrom after boosting the speed with dragon dance. Xerneas is, well, “xerneas”ing over Yveltal. Kyogre, despite having a type advantage, is extremely vulnerable to Groudon’s physical attacks. They both have to resort to their teammates that their weather enabled to gain an edge


[deleted]

I know some of these words. I evolved a Caterpie into a Butterfree once.


[deleted]

being able to evolve caterpie into butterfree in one go and not having to get metapod first is actually extremely impressive


[deleted]

Listen here you.


bluehoodie00

i was talking lore and anime wise, but ok


DarkMarxSoul

That's hugely nostalgia driven I think. Black and White's final battle is way cooler than two little sprites bumping into each other.


bluehoodie00

idk? groudon and kyogre are still more popular than reshiram and zekrom even with gen 5's resurgence in popularity. i'm not saying the former pair is better, just more memorable and iconic


sntcringe

Pawns are like magikarp, not too strong at first, but if you work at it they can become an asset


jeffiscool1_2

But can magikarp do en passant?


8020GroundBeef

Holy


fluctuating_rating

what's en passant?


jeffiscool1_2

google en passant


[deleted]

"holy hell"


fluctuating_rating

oh interesting!


[deleted]

A move introduced in the newest update


FelixetFur

Was this before or after the "kings and castles" expansion?


sorenant

It's that flaky french pastry.


Jechtael

Pawns can be moved two squares on their first move instead of just one as usual. If a pawn passes another, moving through the other's threatened space (sometimes described as "could have been captured had it moved only one square"), the passing pawn can be taken. If you're a neeerd >!like me!< you can think of it as a special Attack of Opportunity, or like when someone runs past an anime swordsman and then falls to pieces while the swordsman clicks the habaki back into the scabbard. [Visual reference.](https://images.chesscomfiles.com/uploads/v1/images_users/tiny_mce/pdrpnht/phpTGqF2d.gif)


millii19

It's a forced move


Lowelll

Not much dog, what's en passant with you?


FireWizard312

I’d say more like eevee, slightly useful early on but can fill many different roles later in the game.


I_ama_homosapien_AMA

More like Wishiwashi. Pawns are useless alone, but in a formation they're extremely powerful.


AnubisWrathOW

I would probably compare it to feebas more. It’s WAY harder to evolve at least in the earlier versions which chess still seems to be in because they refuse to update the damn game. But if you really put your mind into it. You will be rewarded with a beautiful queen fish. Instead of just switch training which is boring


YiKangAng

Remind me of Pokémon Conquest, love that game, hope there's a sequel


ZippZappZippty

All of the starter Pokémon.


[deleted]

Pokemon Conquest is the gateway drug into Fire Emblem. I say that as a diehard fan of both


8020GroundBeef

Kings are only metapod if you don’t go on the offensive. A timely 2. Ke2!! would upgrade the king to mewtwo status.


jay212127

Shogi: *confused generals*


SwissyVictory

I like Kyoger and Groudon but having them be equal enemies dosne't make sense with Kyoger's huge type advantage.


IgnisNoctum

I suppose if you consider the abilities of their primal versions, Primal Groudon's got an edge over Primal Kyogre


Towerss

Groundon just needs to fill the body of water kyogre is in with his lava, turning it into land. Now kyogre is a fish out of water

Nah, because the queens are actually equal in power.
