Honestly, Pokemon's always been easy. It's always been an entry-level RPG for younger or less experienced gamers with pretty straightforward gameplay, as long as we're talking about the main story and casual battles. I don't think Pokemon is going from challenging to easy like some Nintendo...

Speaking of Portal 2, there's the Rattman's Ghost, aka one of the few things in a video game that has actually given me nightmares. For anyone who hasn't heard this one, it only plays in a few Rattman's Dens if you get close to the graffiti. It's usually pretty quiet, but if you listen closely...

Kanto: Pikachu (Yellow)/Bulbasaur (Leaf Green) Johto: Totodile (Never played HGSS) Hoenn: Mudkip (Probably going to use it again if I get ORAS) Sinnoh: Chimchar Unova: Oshawott Kalos: Fennekin

-Fairly large region that should allow for some level of free roaming and exploration. Also, having a lot of unique environments would be nice. -Diverse Pokedex, with all types given good representation and availability. Ideally, a large number of useful Pokemon of all types should be...

Maybe it's just because I didn't grow up with Gen 1, but I've never understood why everyone thinks Lavender Town is so scary. Also, these Lavender Town creepypastas have been reposted so many times around the internet that I'm surprised anyone actually believes them anymore.

Definitely Miltank for me. I decided to try it out in Gold once, and it was insanely bulky and surprisingly powerful for something with only 80 base attack. It's got a nice design too. Overall one of my favorite Gen 2 'mons.

I think that if I buffed the Normal type, I would remove the resistance that Rock and Steel have against it. Since Normal is supposed to be the "neutral" type, it shouldn't be resisted by or super effective against anything, with Ghost being the exception for the sake of making Ghost a more...

I think Golurk needs a decent Ghost type STAB before it gets a Mega. Iron Fist Shadow Punch and Phantom Force are usable in game, but they aren't quite enough for it to leave much of a competitive impact.

I've done something like this in FR/LG before. The difference is that when I did it, I only went with Gift Pokemon or Pokemon that I could buy, so it was more of a no Pokeball run. I think I had a final team of Venusaur/Lapras/Jolteon/Hitmonchan/Kadabra/Aerodactyl or something like that.

Gen IV: 1. First gen to implement the physical/special split, which should have been in the games since Gen I. 2. Introduced a lot of new moves so that certain types, notably Bug and Flying, had more offensive presence. 3. Introduced a lot of competitively useful abilities, like Adaptability...

I'm going to guess that the new Diver class is going to introduce some sort of new battle style similar to Sky Battles. These guys and the Sky Trainers seem pretty similar, since they both specialize in Pokemon battles in environments that Pokemon battles normally aren't held in. Also, new Bug...

I'm a little disappointed that Mega Glalie isn't Ice/Dark. Dark always felt like Glalie's unofficial second type to me, probably because it learns so many Dark type moves and has sort of an intimidating design. Also, they should have focused on his physical attack and speed more than his special...

Re: No new Mega Evolution patch for X or Y players: X and Y won't receive Primal Grou Random theory: this is all a clever plan to get people to buy the 3rd version of Pokemon XY, which will add in all of the new megas from ORAS.

You know, thinking about it, since Scyther is basically a praying mantis combined with a dinosaur/dragon/something, what would it eat? I'd like to say mostly other Bug Pokemon, since that's what mantids usually eat in real life, but Scyther is a mantid/reptile hybrid the size of a human, and...

Re: Pokemon you used to hate/not care, but now love. For me, I think Exeggutor would fall into this category. I always used to see Exeggutor as a bizarre Gen 1 Pokemon with an odd typing and probably mediocre stats. Recently, however, I decided to use Exeggutor in a Pokemon Yellow playthrough...
