Does anyone think that at "Isshu" Metagame will develop, similar to the RS200 Metagame? Or did that one only develop because of the lack of FireRed/LeafGreen?

Hey, every gen redefines the metagame.
4th gen: Stealth Rock
3rd gen: Double battles and Weather Duo.
2nd gen: Scizor.

Even if we can't find old Pokemon POST-N-Dex, we can always use Dream World and transfers to get all 500+ Pokemon.
I'm not believing the rumors until somebody with lots and lots of evidence they can say without someone losing their job proves them.
Scizor was a very average pokemon up untill the release of pokemon platinum though...
Vaporeon can't take on DD gyarados. If gyarados uses DD on the switch, stone edge can 2HKO vaporeon. And if vaporeon tries any of it's other tricks (toxic, wish, protect, etc.) gyarados can just shut it down with taunt.
EDIT: Also, while we're on the topic of scizor, does anyone else find it odd that scizor is the only steel type (except magnezone) that didn't get any rock type moves?? I still find that very strange.
HIDDEN POWER ELECTRIC
HP Electric doesn't matter. Gyarados can still 2HKO with stone edge
Yeppers. Gamefreak would probably do something like this, too. I'm pretty sure at least the semi-legends will get alternate abilities from the Dream World. Metagross and T-tar already have killer ability. Simple would make Dragonite just rediculous. It would just sweep, untouched.
Dragonite comes in, gets DDs +2 Attack, +2 Speed, and kos anything that think it will just Ice-Shard it will Extremespeed.
I would honestly love to see that. Ubers wouldn't even be safe.
I would think people would switch to something that resists stone edge after one hp electric.
*cough* metagross *cough*
Ooh wait, I've got an even better one. What if ANYTHING in OU got anger point?? Scares me just thinking about it...
I'd love a Simple Swampert since CursePert is my favorite set. I also hope someone that doesn't have 4x weaknesses gets Solid Rock.
Imagine forretress with solid rock... even wose, specially defensive forretress with solid rock
Oh my god those tests are epic. Made a non-believer out of me :D
But his one weakness is fire, and he's 4x weak to it. I'm talking about something like Aeordactly, Nidoking, or the Regis. It's just that Pokemon with common 4x weaknesses pretty much make the ability useless.
Yeah but you know game freak would do something like that. :naughty:
You guys forgot about this.
And you guys are kidding about Solid Rock, right? Rypherior has the ability to live Breloom's Seed Bomb, that ability is NOT wasted.
I don't now if this was brought up yet, but wouldn't it be cool if Dream World changed the typings of some pokemon, for example Fire/Dragon Charizard, Water/Dragon Gyarados, Bug/Dragon Flygon, wouldn't that be cool?
they probably would have told us that by now...
And Gyarados' Waterfall OHKOs him. Put a Life Orb on Breloom and Rhyperior is a lot less likely to survive it. Don't even get me started on special water/grass attacks. The 4x weaknesses and pathetic special defenses do pretty much make Solid Rock pointless on the pokes that get it (Rhyperior and Camerupt).
The ONLY time Game Freak has ever changed a Pokemon's type was Magnemite/Magneton when Steel was introduced. Because let's face it, without those two, there'd be maybe 3 other Steel Pokemon in the game.
Game Freak will not change a Pokemon's type, especially if it's into Dragon.
I know, i didn't mean that this was possible, i was just saying that it would be cool if it did happen.
And Charizard too, remember. That was within Gen 1, admittedly.
