    Real-world territories that will never be Pokemon regions

    I've always wanted a region based on my home state of Maryland, but it's just a bit too suburban and, while Washington and Baltimore are great places with a lot of stories to tell, I do think there are a lot of better places in the US to use. It's probably a little improbable, and I'd say the...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    It's not actually a pinecone! Like Burmy, it's based on the bagworm- which sometimes can almost appear to look like a pinecone! They're insects under the umbrella of butterflies/moths that build pupae out of the surrounding materials, from twigs to soil to sand (Burmy definitely does this bit...

    Unfortunately, I used a Mirror Herb to try and get Slack Off on Snorlax... no dice.

    I also find it weird (not as weird, but still) that Brassius never uses any member of the Bramblin line.

    You are a type specialist in a hostile region. How do you best represent your chosen element?

    Alright, I'm going to give this a go. The main focus for this team is to instill fear into the opponents- catching them off-guard by preventing a sweep and depleting their best options, slowly whittling them down with status, using rare coverage and sleep to drain the life away from opponents...

    Personally? I thought megas were super cool! I was also 10 years old when they were revealed. Now that I'm 20, I still really like a bunch of the designs, but I'm not torn up that they're gone.

    Research How many Pokemon are obtainable in each title?

    I think it's the same- can't you use a Ditto to breed for the other two?

    Unpopular opinions

    Two reasons: 1. the aforementioned evolutions (except electrode) change up the silhouette pretty decently- and with Electrode, it's quite literally flipped upside down. that's pretty flimsy, yeah? Here's the thing. Mega evolutions usually keep the Pokemon's basic silhouette/structure. 2...
