i haven't played ZA yet but a game without abilities having megas seems so strange and counter intuitive when new abilities made for the most interesting megas in gen 6. using mega evolution exclusively as stat padding, and sometimes a new type, is kind of boring. (also, since it's the right...

i also always saw staryu and starmie as elegant. it's actually very obvious why people would associate that to mons with a huge ass jewel in their core lol. also, alien/mysterious and elegant aren't mutually exclusive concepts at all. i have learned to appreciate the fact mega starmie harkens...

speaking of which, even though i don't think it will ever happen now that they didn't just give pikachu the mega they clearly wish it could have, i would not mind if sableye and mawile (original from hoenn) got evolutions. the mega evolution lore is not very important to me at all and i am 100%...

i think they could and should just ignore or even spoof the fact these mons are called by their region of origin. galarian zigzagoon according to dex lore is actually the original form, so a future region could totally go "hisuian growlithe has actually been here this entire time. why do they...

what i feel should happen in the future to keep the main game dex smaller is simply gatekeeping some mons to the post-game like it has always happened. if they did "you need national dex to register all these mons that happen to live right here in the east half of the region" for BW, they can do...

must say i like these two ideas better than my own, specially johto as a) i didn't really come up with much for it, b) "flying-type champion" is preposterous shade that i wish i had come up with

SM had more zygarde than USUM because of the cores and cells actually! also the altars and the inside of mount lanakila feel very ground-y

oh that's a good association too! i also considered dark because it really stayed with me that a plurality of the alolan forms are dark-type, but ground ultimately felt the best. it and johto were the hardest regions to assign a type by far

i have been lurking this board for longer than some of y'all have... been alive i think? and i just wanted to say that this thread even existing when i was a gay 16yo wanting to find out why people liked skarmory and blissey so much would be almost unthinkable. this thread makes me happy and i...

kanto - in gen 1? psychic. yes, poison as the most common, etc, but the overarching impression is that psychic is the strongest type, the type of the big legendary, etc. by the remakes i would agree it's poison though johto - for a region that introduced two types this one feels tough to...

"with this new type, we aim to balance some types that might be too strong such as dragon, fighting, dark... and most of all, BUG. bugs have had it way too easy for way too long." also justice for ILCA they had basically everything going against them in BDSP

i think cloyster is exactly why they weren't thinking too much about it. they wanted its defense to be HUGE and just didn't made its attacking stats junk like they did onix. that happened to put him at 480 and still not even be busted. saddling cloyster with 45 spdef in gen 2 despite not being a...

i think the birds not even having the same BST shows they weren't thinkibg that deeply about it then and to a lesser extent still don't today...

WOW. i always loved the latis but they did always feel like the first "legendary just because...?" moment. to realise what they reference is both coherent with the hoenn lore and also a pretty simple reference that somehow escaped the fandom for two decades is amazing.

i don't think any of the leaks will even amount to anything other than "haha did you know that" stuff in a few weeks, let alone anything big enough to impact any of these mons marketability (not that any of them are big players on media anyway). it's not official, so it doesn't actually matter...
