EDIT:
Sea Spider - bug/water with uhhh??
Trapdoor Spider - bug/ground with sand veil and infiltrator poss stakeout
Ogre-faced Spider - bug/dark with intimidate
Bola Spider - bug/??? with compound eyes or sniper

Jumping spider - pure bug with ???

Maybe a Portia as a bug/psychic with tinted lens and technician.

A Portia Pokemon would be incredible

The room was sealed. Explain to the court how trainer Blue could have escaped, if he was truly at the murder scene.

TAKE THAT! Trainer Blue has an Abra! He could have used teleport to escape to the nearest Pokemon center!

Tsk tsk tsk... Wrong again Wright.

Guh?

According to league registration papers, Blue's Abra does not know teleport.

B-but Abra learns teleport at level 1!

Ah yes, but to get to Lavender town Blue has to go through Rock Tunnel, so he taught Abra HM05 Flash, and had Abra forget how to teleport.

He could have gone another route!

All other routes are blocked by a sleeping Snorlax or a thirsty guard. All you have proved is that this esteemed witness could not possibly know teleport when he was in the same town where the murder took place. You're grasping at straws and obfuscating to hide your own client's guilt! Unless you can prove he got to Lavender town by some other route, this line of inquiry must end.

(He got to Lavender town)
(He didn't)

He got to Lavender Town and I'll show you how!

Judge: This had better not be a waste of this courts time Wright. Point out on this map how Blue got to Lavender Town.

(Wright points at the map, court gasps)

R-Rock Tunnel? We already know he went through there by teaching Abra flash! What is the meaning of this?

(Present evidence, presents Mr Mime)

TAKE THAT! Blue has a Mr. Mime! Which also has been taught Flash! Nobody would teach Flash to two different Pokemon in his party! He used Mr Mime to go through Rock Tunnel, where he committed the murder in the sealed chamber in Lavender Town. After teleporting to safety, Blue used HM05 again to make Abra forget teleport, erasing the evidence!

(Court murmurs)

Order! I will have order in this court! Blue, Mr Wright has an interesting point. Why would you teach Flash to two different Pokemon? It's a garbage move. I want to hear testimony on this matter.

But your honor, that still doesn't discount my theory. He could have passed through Rock Tunnel while Abra knew teleport.

Cut is loving OP in the anime. Basically negates any grass type move, which makes sense. It's weird the games never gave cut a typing that grass was weak against.

Well the thing is Cut is very ambiguous.

Bulbasaur uses his Razor Leaf, so Grass?
Scyther uses his blades and Pinsir his horns, so Bug?
Diglett and Dugtrio use their ????, so ??? Type?

Then you have a whole lot of Pokes that use their claws/teeth like Charmander family, Meowth, Nidorans, Ratatta, Krabby, so by majority of usage the move was made Normal.

I guess that was the logic process taking into account that Gen I didn't have much logic

is there anyway to get a phione?? it's not in the 20th anniversary event at all? what even is this thing like a baby manaphy. why didnt they give us it instead of manaphy

the GTS is kinda worthless for filling out your dex huh. literally every poke thats up there just wants a legendary. like i even looked for a lovely spearow and everything is like WANTS: ZAPDOS and the little face is shouting SHINY PLES.

I found leaving up a starter and asking for whatever I wanted always worked. It's better then searching for what I want.

You get Phione by breeding Manaphy with a Ditto IIRC. And the GTS is only good if you put something up for a fair trade yourself, yeah. Fair trades that you put up yourself will probably get snapped up very quickly.

You breed Manaphy to get Phione

If you want something on GTS don't seek, deposit.

Ditto is very popular, vespiqueen, feebas. People will give you a lot of stuff for those.

Edit: starters too sure, especially popular ones.

I'm sick of the frog too, but the marketers know people can't get enough of it and its BURNING SPIRIT powers, so they'll keep it on as long as possible. It will have to get Oak'd or go to a ninja village soon enough.

I also support the idea of giving HM moves more effects so they aren't such garbage. I know that the real reason they gave it to Greninja is so it could have knives because ninja and all, like the rest of its moves, but making it half-decent in the games would be appreciated.

any purmel/puponcho/vivillon's pattern that is generated in your save from anywhere is based on your 3ds location when you create the save, so you can set the 3ds to hawaii, start a new save, set it back if you care, and that save will generate solid gold gts fodder forever. traded ones still have the region they came from
