So are they not doing any new mega evolutions? If not I think that's a huge mistake since it'd do a lot to broaden the meta. Also does anyone know if the Alola forms have higher stats or just the same base stat total but rearranged?

Also I really want this to be real.



should be ghost type imo

obviously ice type will be buffed to have a bunch of resistances so that alola sandslash will be the best sandslash he can be

oras added a lot of side stuff that's cool but hoenn is still the weakest region and I will always hate that rock you have to break every time you want to go north from the town with the lightning gym

delta episode was v dumb and good tho and I can only hope that gen 7 goes as far in that direction as possible

I admit I haven't played anything past rby hgss and xy so I don't know about the other guys but is there a main villain/team as incompetent and idiotic as Lysandre and Team Flare?

original rse are by far the worst teams in the history of the franchise

team magma climb to the top of a volcano so they can throw some jet fuel in it and set off an eruption while they're still there at one point in the story

Manatee Cannon
Aug 26, 2010



no for real tho, team aqua/magma constantly pull a string of the dumbest bullshit over the course of the game and their goals a) don't make sense, and b) show a profound lack of understanding for how anything works

"I want to flood the world to help pokemon. but wait... the world is flooding and it's... bad???"

did they? I forgot about how sapphire handled it since I had ruby and my cousin had sapphire

like for real tho, if it weren't for the protagonist of rse both teams would be straight up dead several times over because they keep pulling the stupidest poo poo. the only reason they didn't burn to death in a volcanic eruption that they themselves cause is because of you

I don't even know who that is

What's a good fire Pokemon to have in Alpha Sapphire and why are fire Pokemon always so rare to find in these games
Alternatively would someone trade me a good and cool fire Pokemon? I hear good things about Numel/Camerupt but Fire Ground woof

torchic

well torchic is the only good gen 3 fire type but I guess you could use a numel or something

I think vulpix and growlithe are on mt pyre

Johto only has 100 new Pokemon, a decent chunk of which are evolutions/babies of Kanto Pokemon. You might want to rethink this run.

cool gen 2 pokemon (not including the starters or things that evolve from/to gen 1 pokemon) for your consideration:

mareep
houndour
chinchou
phanpy
larvitar
sneasel
wooper
misdreavus
murkrow
heracross

Yeah there are enough to do it, but is it practical or fun, especially early game?

you can get heracross, mareep, and phanpy before the 3rd gym. if you're going for stuff that evolves into gen 2 exclusives, such as crobat, you can get basically a full team of good and usable pokemon very early

e: also wooper

I remember getting phanpy at the very beginning of the game by setting my game timer to morning and crawling through the grass at the little patch you can access that leads back to the eight gym city I can't remember the name of. sneasel's in the ice dungeon in crystal but idk about the others

if we're talking about hgss, idk where anything is in that game

make scald twice as powerful and let it burn 100% of the time

make a burn equivalent for toxic

I should be able to make a choice betwen trading a dunsparce in at the end of the game for infinite master balls or just eating it

Manatee Cannon

I have no strong feelings for dunsparce one way or the other

zoroark and lucario are ok I guess

it's hard to have strong opinions on zoroark because it was event only in gen 5 and near the end of the game in 6

cynthia was the most fun champion to fight because she had the best team and was the closest to resembling any kind of challenge

I respect alder for his correct choice of using volcarona however

I see the GTS is still people asking for level 100 event legendaries in return for measly version exclusives. Can I just throw something reasonable up if I'm just trying to fill a hole in the Pokedex and wait for someone to bite, or is there no hope at all?
