> 2: Why does it matter if Gastly/Haunter and Gengar are weak to Psychic?
Psychic as an attacking type isn't all that common and anything that can
learn it probably learns Shadow Ball as well and is just going to use
that.
> Psychic as an attacking type isn't all that common
...you're kidding, right?
> 3: Mewtwo was only overpowered in 1st Gen. As is, he's now just on par
with other higher legends like Kyogre, Arceus and Darkrai.
And when you play with 1st Gen mons, it's always about siccing mewtwo on your poor opponent, or figuring out some way of dealing with your opponent's mewtwo.
> 4: Why shouldn't they evolve by trade? It's not like they're the only ones.
I thought they still are.
> 5: Traded mons can't be renamed because they're not yours originally. You don't get to choose the name.
And that really sucks. Time to haxxors.
> 8: That would be broken as all fuck. Dragonite's Flying type is there to
stop it being too good. Making it pure Dragon with Levitate would make
Dragonite stronger than most higher legendaries. ESPECIALLY now that it
has access to Multiscale.
It's cooler than mewtwo; it deserves more awesome. The flying type was to make things not weak to ground.
That said, gengar shouldn't have levitate, because it clearly stands on the ground.
> 11: Fuck no. Anime filler has no place in the games.
What. You have the opportunity to further flesh out what is (or at least was, at that time) an awesome setting full of exploration and new sights to see all over the place. Why not? Not to mention that the animé was based on the games anyway.
> If you want to go back in time and tell the devteam for red and blue to include a happiness mechanic, go for it.
Well, they could change it now.
> Why exactly? Why are you even trying to use a Gengar of all things to take hits?
I thought the gastly series is supposed to be dodge tanks.
I mean, ghost mons like shedinja should be walls that take physical damage, because they actually have a physical body. But the gastly series doesn't. Not quite at least.
> While I can understand that for completionists at the same time it
would undermine Nintendo's whole ethos with series that "Pokemon is best
when played and shared together with friends."
Yeah, I'm a completionist, and was recently contemplating downloading a hack that would let me catch all 151 mons in a single game.

Oh, you know what?
12. Charizard should be fire/dragon, not fire/flying.
13. HM moves should be forgettable.
13'. What would be really cool is if there were a way to switch in/out different movesets on the same mon.
Also, they have to have signature moves.
One of the main things I wish there were, were things similar to achivement ribbons, like "entire team sweeper" ribbons for pokemon who take out an entire team of pokemon of equal or higher level by themselves, or survival ribbons for surviving with 1 HP without being switched out or even goliath ribbons for pokemon beating other pokemon 20 or more levels above them.
Of course, since they are achievements, they can be cheated for and hacked, but they will always make for awesome little memories between different pokemon.
That's news to...oh right, I've heard of that before.
> Also no, the Gengar line are not Dodge Tanks. The Gengar line are speedy Special Sweepers like the Alakazam line.
THEY'RE CLOUDS OF GAS, THEY OUGHT TO BE DODGE TANKS, I DECREE IT
> HM moves ARE forgettable. You just have to go to the Move Deleter.
Oh right, there now exists a move deleter.
> Charizard being Fire/Dragon wouldn't work because of Charizard's role as
a Starter Mon. Dragon is not an appropriate type for a Starter mon.
No, Charizard is the 3rd-stage evolution of a starter mon. Final-stage evolutions of starter mons ought to be really powerful. Why shouldn't charizard be dragon type?
> As for the Dragonite thing. Dragonite is a Pseudo, not an actual Legendary. Mewtwo outranks it.
Oh, fuck mewtwo.
> As for a game that lets you catch all of the mons, there's 649 of the little bastards now. Things have moved on since the 90's.
NO THEY HAVEN'T!!!!111
...and I thought there were only like 485 last time I checked...
> One thing I liked about Ribbons was their feeling of accomplishment.
One thing I like about Ribbons is that they protect from all status ail--wait, wrong series.
Water wouldn't be supereffective anymore, and Blastoise has no other STAB move to hit Charizard with then.
-remembers Gen 4's contests-
:L
I hated them.
As of today, I have 397 of those.
493 in 4th Gen, I think.
^ STOP NINJASKING ME
Oh, right.
um...
uh...
...
TURTLE-TYPE! Super-effective against dragons!
In seriousness, though, blastoise could just learn aurora beam.
But they would only get charizard pretty late in the game.
And for that matter, bulbasaur/ivysaur/venusaur being grass/poison makes for lots of confusion involving why it's weak to psychic and why it's never poisoned.
Have you ever noticed that most Dragons have another typing that gives them a quad-weakness to Ice?
^^ wat
-specifically, remembers doing so by keeping a Wobbuffet at the front of the party and just resetting if the first Pokemon I encountered wasn't a roaming legendary-
That was annoying...
It deserves much more love.
