I can't believe I'm saying this, but the new shiny sprites for the starters are (mostly) pretty rad and an improvement over the real ones. Also: LAY-ZX posted:I'll throw another vote into the pile for dark-haired girl named Enoby, but with a shiny Snivy named Dracula

Skarmory+Blissey were the absolute worst part of GSC competitive way back in the day. Those two together with Curselax.

Zuzie posted:I feel like the starters of each generation is slowly getting away from "kaiju"-like to more like taking design cues from Dungeons and Dragons character classes. This is especially noticeable with the Gen VI and VII starters: Chesnaught and Incineroar are bulky fighters (one is a Knight, the other a Wrestler), Delphox and Primarina are waif-like mages (Delphox is a witch and Primarina is a songstress) and Greninja and Decidueye are thieves (a ninja and archer respectively). Gen VI was intentionally made as the warrior/mage/rogue trio. There's an interview somewhere talking about it. Gen VII seems more to be based on types of entertainers, a singer, a wrestler, and a trick archer.

That could apply to nearly every one of the anime/manga in the 'players inside an MMO' genre.

Xelkelvos posted:There's a reason that they were the least popular Pokemon when a popularity ranking was done. That was a biased poll though. It was Japan-only, and the Pokemon that won the whole thing was going to get a special event version released. Most people weren't voting for their favorites, they were voting for rare and harder to obtain legendaries. EDIT: https://www.polygon.com/2016/6/7/11878224/most-popular-pokemon-top-100-list Granted, Greninja is still in first place.

Magnemite is there because of his use in Black 2/White 2. He's became sort of a Japanese meme based on that.quote:In Generation V, Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the GTS. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their Join Avenue in Black 2 and White 2 by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.
