Haunter is another of the more unimaginative gen 1 names.

"Well, it's one of the ghost types. It haunts th-"
"Okay cool, Haunter. When's lunch?"


I guess we should just consider ourselves lucky that we got Jolteon and Zapdos instead on Thunder and Thunders.

Grimer, Muk, Persian.

Again, still better than the original Japanese names. Haunter is huge improvement over Ghost.

Slippery slope. This would also demand duplicates of any pokemon that has multiple forms

Maybe, I dunno.

I don't feel like getting each and every forme for every Pokemon, though. That would involve 3 Burmies\Wormadans, 4 Deoxys, 6 Rotoms, 2 Gritanias, 4 Deerling\Sawsbuck that have to be imported from Gen 5 at different seasons, 2 copies of the genies, and multiple copies of multiple event Pokemon. Plus it's not even possible to have both merged Kyurem formes in one game without cheating.

I could double up on Shellos\Gastrodon, though.

They previewed new official merch today featuring all legendaries and mythicals revealed up to Magearna, and Phione isn't on it. So I guess that finally settles that age old debate Bulbapedia's been having with itself for over a decade now?

That's so cluttered I can't even tell if Manaphy is on it. But I assume it is. gently caress Phione, that poo poo ain't legendary.

I, for one, do not consider my pokedex a living pokedex without all this. Also all the Vivillons.

I have everything except multiple Deoxys, and I could really get those at any time I wanted by auctioning off any extra legendaries I have on the GTS. And of course I'll be making room for Alolan forms once that happens. It's gonna be a bumpy ride, but a fun one.

Far as I can tell from Gen 3 to 5 the Personality Value was used, while in Gen 6 they used the Encryption Constant. But they're both unsigned 32-bit integers so there's no functional difference.

Also the Encryption Constant doesn't seem to do anything besides determine Spinda's spots and determining Wurmple's evolution, and for any Pokémon entering Gen 6 from a previous game this value just becomes a copy of their PID.
