I hope sometime in the future they stop making redundant items. I don't want to carry 60+ rocks labeled [Poke]icite.

Imagine just having a Mega Stone X and a Mega Stone Y that works with all pokemon that mega evolve. Or imagine Everstone and Eviolite being the same item. A lot of items could really just be fused together with no ill effects (Like Toxic Orb and Black Sludge).

Considering that you can only use one Mega at a time, it makes no sense to make one for each individual Pokemon. Why not just make one, but make the player do something to unlock its power for the species. Its effectively the same, but now you don't need to clog your inventory.

Marge, I'd like to be alone with the sandwich for a moment.

Are you going to eat it?

...yes...
You can only mega evolve the ones you have given enough poke puffs to

I meant just one Mega Stone X and Y that works for every pokemon, not a X and Y Stone for every pokemon so yeah I agree with you.

Sorry If I made that sound confusing.

I don't think you really even need X and Y stones since the different forms usually are better when utilizing different movesets but I'm sure somebody can think up an argument for it.

It's a part of his body, you can see how it fuses at the ankles.

You do realize that Pokemon are supposed to be like animals that are normally not intelligent enough to have this sort of self introspection, right?

Intelligent enough to understand human speech and sometimes speak back but not be sentient? Someone has to go visit the Canalave library!

I'm more confused by Pokemon like Cubone, the Timbur line, and other pokemon that have items. Are THOSE are part of their body? If not, why are only they allowed to use weapons? Also if not, how are the items being put into pokeballs?

I'm supposed to be studying for finals right now goddamnit.

When it comes to pokemon that somehow grow clothes, I just like to think of it like sheep wool or something. The idea that the "cloth" could potentially have nerves (Like Sylveon) is gross and I don't even want to think about it.

All pokemon are allowed to use weapons. That's what the move Fling is for.

Urgh, don't you know anything? These pokemon are allowed by pokemon league law to carry those items.

The "clothed" pokemon are like the twins from sam&max hit the road and their skin is naturally cloth-like.

Doesn't either Sawk or Throh have a pokedex entry saying they knit their gis from vines? I mean it's still implausible but at least less weird than having gi-skin.

Sawk and Throh have gi-patterned skin, their belts are their only clothes and they make them themselves.
