It must be amazing, skipping out since Gen 1 and then coming back to a game where you can catch literally thrice the number of Pokemon that even existed back then and that's not even all of them.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome always getting something new every time I Wonder Trade or advance in the game. I still get most excited when I get one of the original 151, though. When I found out there were like, 720 Pokémon now my mind was a little blown.

I'd imagine that Mega Evolutions were probably an even bigger surprise. It'll be even more ridiculous in about three years or so when Gen VIII comes down the pipe.

I saw Ledian on the possible list and while it'll never happen, god wouldn't that be something.

If this happened I would honestly pick up Pokken and try to learn fighting games just so I could rep my favorite bug-type. Ledian deserves it.

You want bad advice?

It would be neat if the new character would be something else than a biped. Kinda weird that Suicune is the only non-biped in the whole lineup.

Is Blaziken in already? Because he should be. If not... Hawlucha, definitely.

Pikachu Libre got in instead of Hawlucha. Blaziken is in, he and Lucario were already in the very first teaser they showed way back when so they're kind of this game's Sub Zero and Scorpion.

There is room in the Pokemon fighting game for more than one luchadore. :colbert: Hawlucha was made for this game. He and Pika-Libre can be tag partners or something.

It's a brand new character as well as the winner of a recent Twitter campaign to decide a new Support Pokémon. All we know is that the Japanese name of new character includes "ン".

Here's a full list of possible Pokémon: http://pastebin.com/KhbNJeGK

It'll be Rhyperior because there's no Rock type or Ground type, and the game doesn't have a ton of big body characters

Look buster, I've been staring at this pretty intensely for a number of minutes but sometimes we just miss the obvious, all right? And I know some pokemon differences really are super small.

So I know there's got to be some fan overlap, and I could use a new silly theme/challenge. So here's a question:

If you had to name pokemon after the Primarchs in 40k, which would you choose? Excepting legendary pokes, naturally.

Zubat/Golbat/Crobat or a Noibat for Konrad Curze, because he's grimdark Batman. Absol for Horus. Maybe Mightyena for Leman Russ.

Now I'm going to think about this all day.
