    • They are a pain, especially when trading online is no longer possible (pre-gen 6 now). Until I was finally able to go online in gen 5 I barely used trade evolvers. I had my brother to trade with from gen 2 onwards when we got separate games, but until it became built in wireless it was just annoying. Even until recently I couldn’t really try and get people to help me do them due to either not trusting anyone or social anxiety. I don’t necessarily want them removed, but an alternative method that is like Ability Capsule or a bit cheaper in BP could be nice.

  1. Um……….so…..the lone Team Rocket member that steals the generator part for the Kanto Power Plant in HGSS…..is….Is he supposed to be mentally handicapped? Like for real I’m not trying to be an ass or anything. I legitimately want to know. Because his dialog goes well beyond him just being a dumb grunt that doesn’t know what’s up……

  3. I wish we could combine attacks

    example
    Feraligatr uses surf and at the peak of the wave he punches it with Ice Punch flash freezing it into a crashing slab of ice

    any other ideas?

    • Combo attacks should be kept to anime and fanfic because they sound like a terrible game mechanic tbh

      But for Lycannight, using the energy gained from Counter in order to throw the enemy in the air and impale with a Stone Edge

      Or a more nimble Pokémon using Rock Climb on its own Stealth Rocks in order to have amazing maneuverability

      • Ooooooo i like the sound of that
        Lycanroc builds up energy and creates towering stone spires from Stone Edge and uses Rock Climb to scale them in a nimble fashion

        • Would probably work with Midday best, seeing as it’s the fastest form of the OG two (and we don’t know if Dusk is any faster or slower)

          Also, way less flashy combo but a Pokémon trapping the opponent with a move like Bind or Whirlpool before setting of a high risk/reward move like Hyper Beam or Explosion

          Golisopod using a priority move like Aqua Jet to crash into the opponent, using Metal Claw to dig into it, and then unleashing a hellish Hyper Beam up close and personal with its prey unable to do jack

          • Ohohoho i’ve thought about anime styled Golisopod fighting
            it emerges from my pokeball kneeling quietly and reserved but when the battle begins it vaults forward at blinding speed with a swipe of its claws and slashing the opponent with First Impression, as it fights it lets out hissing screeches as it swings its main claws and its four secondary ones

            its dense shell negating any damage whatsoever and blasiting forward with Aqua Jet and finally when it gets you close enough its main claws grab the opponent while the other four dig into the flesh while glowing a eerie red and green color of leech life

          • My favorite Pokémon to think of in anime style battling is anything that’s fast and gets Shadow Sneak, because melting into the shadows to hit and run over and over until your foe gives up sounds gr8

            Another combo would be Dig + Overheat/Lava Plume/Magma Storm to heat the battlefield above (creating a ‘Fiery Terrain’ of sorts) :0

          • I don’t want to burst your bubble but in Shadow Sneak the user doesn’t melt into their shadows it extends it from their body and travels behind it and strikes

            Phantom Force is actually disappearing

          • I was thinking more about Ghost Pokémon that are pretty much shadows themselves and could possibly turn intangible, not stuff like Ariados that are pretty much confined to the way the moves described in the game

  4. So does each region speak a different language?

    Because that team rocket grunt speaks in broken English but it’s probably broken Kantonian

    But your player still understands them so Johto and Kanto probably share a language

    But like.. Cynthia visits Unova AND Johto so she probably speaks multiple languages

    I don’t know why I’m thinking about this so much
