Talking about opinions is fine, I just wanted to get people off of starters.

Well in that case the best mega is either mega Gardevoir because of her big poofy dress, or mega Mawile because she goes from a ponytail to pigtails

Mega-Sableye is the worst mega because it's the mega of choice for Stall teams, which are a blight upon the world of poke battle and an insult to John Gamefreak, creator of Pokemon.

Tyrantrum has feathers

Also there are only like 5 lines of dinosaur pokemon (Rampardos, Bastiodon, Tyrantrum, Archeops, Amaura).

It's the truth. :colbert:

They have the exact same BST and stat layout. Charizard has a better movepool and a slightly better Hidden Ability.

Game Freak got lazy with Typhlosion.

Jesus guys the best starter is Oshawott, cmon



Oshawott is really good and so is Dewott. I really like how Dewott is this samurai-in-training otter with pirate vibes. It's just a shame that Samurott is so drat weird and dissonant. How does a samurai pirate otter with scimitars turn into an armored sea lion????

All of the Gen V starters have really odd final evolutions though.

There were literally 3 quadruped starters before Samurott.

4 if you count Swampert like an idiot.

though I'm still not totally sure why Typhlosian is bipedal, its kinda really weird!

Things may come to those who wait...but only the things left by those who hustle.

Is there any word on whether the stuff like contests/secret bases/dexnav from ORAS are going to be in SuMo?
I picked up X the other day and it just seems really feature-sparse by comparion, but I don't know how much of that was stuff from the original they were obligated to include rather than things they actually thought were cool and might keep going forward.

The first games in a generation are always sparce with features. The remakes or second versions get all sorts of features added but most of it doesn't make it back to the next mainline game. HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White 2 massively improved on the previous games but none of it came back. ORAS didn't even bring back the phone to rematch gym leaders.

I haven't seen anything about contests or bases but the Sinnoh remakes will more than likely have them.
