Why is the concept of Mega evolution for a select few Pokémon now the tipping point? If you view that as "messing with them", then you ought to realize that they've been messed with in every new generation. I love Red and Blue, but nostalgia takes a back seat to innovation and variety here. | ||

You're right, though: too many Gen 1 Pokémon simply aren't relevant because of typing or BST limitations. Lapras, for example, should be an absolute monster on paper, but its shoddy typing holds it back immeasurably. If it got a Mega evolution that made it Water/Dragon, I guarantee that it would instantly become amazing. | ||

But yeah I completely forgot little cup existed after Stadium 2. | ||

Also the fact the great ball wasn't based on electrode... Seriously why isn't that already a thing? | ||

Seriously why isn't that already a thing? I don't mind any of the designs, Im only ever concerned about the difficulty and the amount of features in each gen. Just making the point that grimer/muk is the blueprint for the garbage bag dudes and they are essentially identical. | ||

It's almost here! Less than a month to go. Haven't been this pumped up for a new game since they announced vanilla World of Warcraft. | ||
