in gen 1 freeze was a permanent status if you didn't have one of the fire moves that thawed it or had one of them used on you

Lmao, I thought it just had a smaller chance of ending every turn.

What I dislike the most in Pokemon is the weird divide between status effects and almost, but not quite, status effects like Confusion, Attraction etc.

At the very least I think Confusion should be in the realm of Paralysis etc. where it blocks the others. Give it a boost to 50/50 shot to attack regularly or hit yourself, make it not wear off when you switch out and have it scale off your higher attack stat.

In my experience both paralyze and confused status do jack poo poo to enemy Pokemon but gently caress you up every single turn

It would be really nice if there was an area like Village Bridge in Black and White where there are a bunch of NPCs who you can talk to and they add to the background music.

Other kinds of callbacks would be nice as well.

no, freeze has a 20% chance to wear off every turn rather than a set turn limit. it can be devastating, or it can be as short as a one-round sleep.

The most common place for Rain in Kalos is the same Route you caught Goomy on.

It still feels really rare though.

It evolves from Sliggoo starting at level 50 when leveled up during rain in the overworld. Rain instigated by Rain Dance, Drizzle or Primordial Sea will not trigger this evolution. It is the final form of Goomy.

Rain Dance does not work for evolving Sliggoo, no. It has to be raining outside of battle.

I prefer the Yokai Watch tsuchinoko Noko and Bloominoko. Pain in the rear end to get one though.

Dunsparce could definitely use an evolution. It's one of those Pokemon I always forget about.

I think Dunsparce is a cool Pokémon and I'd love to see them do something with it in the future (since it seems like we won't be seeing anything regarding it in Gen 7).

It's in the same category as Farfetch'd: Non-evolving Pokémon with garbage stats but they have a great bit of lore behind it that adds to the world-building.

EDIT: Hmm... It seems like Dunsparce was designed by the same artist who came up with Wobbuffet, Celebi, Deoxys and Magmortar.
