indigi posted:is there an in-universe reason for why so many pokemon are "Pikachu, but slightly different" I thought it was implied that they were related (in the sense of real-world-style evolution, not the metamorphosis called "evolution" in Pokemon). Like Alolan forms of Pikachu, but for every region, basically.

When the online features shut down for the DS era games, did that happen after all DS services shut down, or after the release of X/Y? I’m hoping to have time to try all the online features in Gen 7 before they disappear.

The DS online services shut down when the company handling them shut down. I'm pretty sure Nintendo is handling the online services for gen 6+, so they won't be going down any time soon.

The only Pika-clones who even resemble Pikachu are Plusle and Minun. If you can't tell Pachirisu or Dedenne from Pikachu, the problem is not with Pachirisu or Dedenne.

Well rodents are the largest family of mammals so it makes some sense that electric rodents are a successful lifeform in the Pokémon world. I'm surprised that they haven't introduced a predator that specifically preys on electric rodents.

indigi posted:Raichu sucked until Alolan form How dare you. Raichu was my go-to electric type in Gen 1. Granted, it hasn't taken to the general power creep, but the same can be said for plenty of other Gen 1 Pokémon, like Dewgong, Rapidash and Hypno.

Yeah Raichu is cool, and my go to electric type in gen 1 also. ....But Alohan Raichu is better. I almost wish it was just an evolution of basic Raichu because it seems kind of sad for good old Raichu to be upstaged by a fluffier version of itself.

Alolan Raichu is precious! Field trip from let's go: Shrooms the Paras is a very good boy! So is Pixel, my clefairy. Eevee gave me a high five when we beat Brock up. And we managed to snag a Charmander. Plus, I rode on an onix and it was pretty great. I love this game.

Maybe the reason electric rodents are so successful is because they have type advantage against the flying-type bird Pokemon that would otherwise predate on rodents?

I rented Let’s Go Eevee from GameFly and finished it with a complete Pokédex in less than a month, so it only cost me $17. For some reason, I felt like it was fun, but kind of a disappointment, but since it’s been dropping to $30 in sales, I’ve suddenly started feeling like it was really just great.

I'm not a huge fan of Gen 5 mons, but I want to experience Gen 5 story, how hosed would it be if I did a light randomizer (keep all pokemon roughly same power, replace Legendaries with Legendaries and otherwise leave the game unfucked with) on it?

You should be perfectly fine but it's also kind of antithetical to the Gen 5 idea of using the new guys instead of the guys you already used.
