You can get the opposite in like 2 minutes on the GTS, exclusives mean so little now.

I'm actually surprised we don't have a moose pokemon, now that I think about it.

E: Aloloan Stantler should be Ice/ Normal and become a reindeer.

Gen 2 is probably my favorite Pokemon generation for nostalgia reasons, but I have always hated Scizor's design.

I like Scizor, but Scyther really does look cooler.

Weird question, does anyone have any good nuzzlocke series recommendations? Amusing, or informative that sort of thing.

Griffin McElroy's series proves once again that he and his brother are the only good things about Polygon.

This game is a wealth of possibilities. It's truly hard just to stick to six this gen. It isn't quite as overflowing with brand new awesome Pokemon like Black/White were but the Pokemon that are in this game are almost uniformly interesting.

Bug/Water isn't a great type but the Dewpider line looks so cool that I've been enjoying using it a lot, and it's been a truly difficult decision to stick with my Mudsdale instead of swapping him out for the sand castle guy.

I love the Pokemon in this game, but is this the gen with the most single-stage mons since gen 1? There are a lot that just don't evolve, even in the first half of the game, that it stood out to me.

Yeah, Gen 3 had the Gen 1 remakes
Gen 4 had Gen 2 remakes
Gen 5 was only Black/White and Black2/White2
Gen 6 had the Gen 3 remakes.

What this obviously means is that each remake should be in it's original gen x2. DPPt remakes will be with gen 8 in 2023.

I think my favorite part of HG/SS is the aesthetic. The battle sprites were so darn colorful, and the overworld sprites and buildings had a really charming pallette that hasn't really been recreated again as the series moved more and more 3D.

I'm playing Gold and trying to mess with the Coin Case stuff and all I need now is a Berry Juice.

Does it require walking with Shuckle holding a Berry or battling with it? I've tried both and the berry won't change at all.

There may also be a time component.

Is there a good collection of videos like this one where the audience completely breaks down because of talking Pikachu in the latest Pokemon movie?

Pokemon at least has enough cultural momentum to survive a bad release or a few games coming out too quickly, Yokai Watch took a flying leap down the path of Guitar Hero and Five Nights at Freddy's.

I was at home this Christmas and read through some old Pokemon magazines I had lying around from the late 90s heydey. A recurring question that popped up every few issues was if Pokemon would have legs or slowly wither away. The mag was primarily card-focused, but each time it was asked the authors were fairly confident that Pokemon would transcend past "fad" status. It makes me happy seeing their hopes come true. :unsmith:

The Gen 1 designs are only good with the og Sugimori artwork, they lose something when the coloring gets more flat.

I would love to see gens 3+ with the original artstyle.

I'm so conflicted because those babies are adorable but I'd rather have evos the other way or new boys entirely.

The lack of integration with Bank as of yet, and the lack of anything overly new are somewhat killing the hype for me.

Map wise, the only things new are a Volcano at Cinnabar and a T structure of some form to the right of the S.S. Anne.

Thats where the truck appears post-game that you can use Strength on to find Mew.

The Farfetch'd episode of the anime was the first Pokemon related item I ever encountered and I immediately fell in love with this big dumb useless duck.

I got curious about how many Gen 1 pokemon families didn't get
a) A cross-gen evolution/pre-evolution
b) New typings
c) A mega-Evolution
d) An alolan forme
e) Exclusive Z-Moves

Caterpie, Spearow, Ekans, both Nidoran lines, Paras, Venonat, Psyduck, Mankey, Growlithe, Machop, Bellsprout, Tentacool, Ponyta, Farfetch'd, Doduo, Seel, Shelder, Drowzee, Krabby, Voltorb, Koffing, Goldeen, Staryu, Tauros, Ditto, Omanyte, Kabuto and Dratini. 61 or 64 if you count the legendary birds.

What this tells me is that Gen 8 will include another forme gimmick and give it to a third of these.

Lapras too, right? Or did I miss something?

Finish my LGE team for me, for I am lazy and trying to use things I haven't used historically:

Eevee
Tentacruel
Rhydon
Hitmonlee (open to changing)
Nidoking

All choices above are good, but consider going for something nice and weird like Hypno or Tangela.
