I've thought of another thing: starter abilities. For once, I'd like to have a starter with something other than Overgrow, Blaze, or Torrent. Every other pokemon has two abilities you can pick from in-game, so why not starters? Give them a cool new ability and second ability that you can use...

Ah, I forgot about sleep powder. Anything that learns it pre-Gen V is broken in-game. Point taken.

1. I know this is a minor thing but why is Lileep a tier above Anorith? Both have poor movepools, but Anorith's Metal Claw is superior to Lileep's Acid, and it gets its first STAB(Ancientpower) a whole 11 levels before Cradily. It also gets better coverage from TMs like Iron Tail...

Some additions: 4. Every pseudo-legendary being Dragon-type. The only exceptions are Tyranitar and Metagross, but since Tyranitar looks like a dragon-type and learns Dragon Dance, Metagross is practically the only exception. We need more non-dragon type pseudo-legendaries. Volcarona could have...

Huh, really? None of the shellder i fished up had it, so I assumed it was a hidden one. Guess my luck just sucks. Or in some cases, having friends who play Pokemon games at all. I swear none of my friends in a 5-kilometer radius of me play pokemon.

1. Ice types are obtained so late in the game. I recently decided to play platinum, and wanted to get a snover for my team since I had taken a liking to it because of its unique typing and ability. So where do you get it? After the 6th gym. Not wanting to wait that long, I used a randomizer to...

I also like to use Pokemon with niches, mainly to console myself that I am employing real strategy in battles and not just spamming SE moves. "Look, my Magneton used thunder wave before OHKOing that Pelipper with Thunderbolt! That's some real strategy right there!" Jokes aside, Pokemon with...

The best: Tate and Liza in Emerald I'm playing emerald, and it's 7th gym time. No worries. In ruby, T&L(I'm calling them that since I don't want to type 'Tate and Liza' every 5 seconds) were positively easy, I even beat them with my Tentacruel. (Admittedly, he fainted shortly before winning.)...

Modulo I agree that Electrike and Magnemite perform similar roles, but Electrike needs a bit of babying until it learns Spark, whereas you can slap T-bolt onto Mag and go harass the aquatic wildlife right away. Electrike is also a bit of a deadweight until you get T-bolt because of unfavorable...

Magneton in Emerald. Nothing is more euphoric than OHKOing mon after mon with SE thunderbolt on the water routes of Hoenn. Sure, it had a moveset consisting of T-bolt, S-wave, Spark, and Flash(In my defense, I needed to save on PP), but did it OHKO things? Yes it did.

In Emerald, after you are given a Pokenav, you register people in it, and it'll tell you "Registered (name) in the Pokenav." Pretty standard. But if Scott, the mysterious man that keeps following you, is registered, it says, "Registered (insert feeling of extreme suspicion and regret here) this...

Mr Briney and Peeko. I don't know why. There's just a thing about those two that make the whole Hoenn region just a bit more warm and welcoming.

Qwilfish. Let me list the reasons: 1. Generic Design It's literally a pufferfish. It's not even a cartoonish version of one; it looks exactly the same as pufferfish in real life. 2. Evolution It doesn't evolve. That's right, it's your classic one-stage dex filler pokemon! How low can you get...

Hmm. I hadn't thought about that. Johto was originally made to complement Kanto, so having a lot of Kanto mons would certainly make the Johto ones seem more forgettable. (then they actually were: I wouldn't exactly say they were memorable.)

1. Magnemite should be at least A-tier. Sure, its only usable attacks are electric-type, but it was made to do one thing-spam thunderbolt-and it does its job very well. You get TB right after catching it(from Wattson) and by fighting the trainers all the way from Petalburg to Slateport, stopping...
