I think we should start edging on the side of caution, we're almost wishlisting (not quite yet, but I can see it devolving into it). Like as of now I think the only direction we can go is just listing the Pokemon who's stats could swing it in one direction or another.
Actually, that isn't a bad idea. Maybe when I have the time, I'll go through the Pokemon without a Mega and compile a list of candidates for Megas and what their role might be.
Apparently (South) Koreans and Indonesians have a slightly favorable view of China. And I don't think current views are going to matter a lot in terms of how players perceive the region based on it - think of tourists going to China (3rd biggest destination in the world) - exploring a region based on the country is kinda like that. Would you think these tourists all have a highly positive view of the country? :P
Just a head's up, that would be a little too far on the edge of wishlisting for OI. But I could see the guys over at The Flying Press accepting (and helping to write) a well-written article about it.
That would be too wishlist-y. I was just suggesting looking through all the fully evolved Pokemon, finding ones who were mixed attackers, and make a list out of that since those would be the most likely to have two Megas (each focusing on being Special or Physical).
Hawaii was already brought up, but people are too hung up on the idea that we will be in a neighboring region of Kalos due to Zygarde not getting its story finished yet.
Vivillon proved different patterns of the same Pokemon are hella awesome and collectible. If they started doing different "region formes" of Pokemon like different color schemes of Pokemon born within the in-game region while retaining the "pattern" of the previous region for individuals born in that region, it'd be sweet. Like, if Arbok in SM had a different hood pattern to ORASXY, but ORASXY Arbok kept their hood pattern in SM, that'd be AWESOME.
Doing a similar thing with SuMo. Those jokes got obnoxiously old after 15 seconds.
Excuse me, but RBY does have IVs
I haven't read any complaints about the IV system, and it's seriously incredibly easy to breed good IV'd Pokemon with the current system. They've been making it easier since the 3rd gen. The current system works pretty well. The logical conclusion is that there'll be a conversion process for 1st gen 'mons, not the other way around.
I agree. I don't see much problem in converting the IV and EV from the Gen I system to the current one.
You don't want to get the jokes, I promise.
This is how I figured they do it:
On this note, I fully expect the natures and abilities of transferred pokémon to be random. What I want to know, is how the seed will be for the random selection will be selected; theoretically, as long as the nature and ability will ultimately not determined according to DV's, which actually is a possibility I suppose, then it might be possible that cloned pokémon would have different natures upon transfer. If this is the case, then cloning the pokémon might be one of the best ways to get the desired nature on transfer. The PC clone glitch does work in Gen I, right? Not just in Gen II?
If they added Fairy or Normal type Hidden Powers, it would fuck over currently existing Pokemon that literally rely on Hidden Power (ALL Electric types) by changing the IV spreads that determines what Hidden Power a Pokemon gets, thus changing the Hidden Powers of existing Pokemon from something useful and needed (Ice or Fire) to something worthless (Dragon or Dark)
Or, you know, have a way for us to choose what Hidden Power type we want.
That'd be preferred, but then people will bitch about how it removes the skill and investment of the breeding process and nobody would win.
