I'm also trying to do a Gen V in my playthrough of X, and use only new Pokemon. Going pretty well, I just wish Helioptile was pure electric

With the way Volcanion is presented (what makes it special and unique in-universe is its contradictory type combination), I doubt they'll make another fire/water Pokemon or they'll devalue Volcanion.

You get it.

I feel like they could do a few things for a fire/water pokemon, the more obvious being like a geyser or steam vent. But it's funny there's basically a fire/water move (scald) but no pokemon.

A fire/grass that's a chili pepper feels like an obvious idea I'm surprised they haven't done. I have no idea what a fire/electric could be, but I want one that isn't Rotom.

Speaking of Volcanion, what the hell is the deal with it? As far as I remember it's existence is not mentioned at all in the generation it debuted, heck it's existence was confirmed 2 years after the games came out (though maybe data miners leaked it earlier, I can't remember) and it was only distributed in one single event months right before gen VII was released without any fanfare at all.

Being a Fire/Water Mythical Pokemon you'd think he would at least have had a role in the ocean vs land remakes, but nope.

At least Arceus had the excuse of being the Poke God and has been distributed at least once every gen since.

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

Volcanion had no fanfare, but neither does really any other Mythical at this point. They stopped caring about giving them stories after Gen 5.

Yeah that's been a big issue regarding mythical Pokémon: there's only so many powers that would be awe inspiring in-universe. Coming up with new ones on the same level as Mew (able to learn any move) would be difficult.

In regards to Volcanion, it's main deal is that its a Fire/Water type, which is thought to be impossible since no other known Pokémon has this seemingly contradictory typing. Also if you show Volcanion to a certain NPC in X and Y (I think in the Lumiose Gazette office), she'll tell you more about it. Basically its as secretive as the Sasquatch and it may have destroyed a mountain range in the past where Lumiose City is now.

I kind of have the same issue with Zeraora. Nothing about it screams "awe inspiring", and it could easily pass for a Lucario clone to me.

It’s bad enough for boring Mythicals like Volcarona or Zerora, but your can’t tell me that it would be that hard to give things like Magearna or Genesect roles in a plot that fit their backstory.

Genesect has just that in BW and B2W2:

quote:

Genesect was revived from a Fossil and technologically enhanced by Team Plasma to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. N had the project cancelled and the P2 Laboratory closed because he felt that Pokémon, who he thought to be perfect beings, would lose their beauty if modified by science. However, Scientist Dudley kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back.
