I'm calling it now for the goddamn coin flip app on Dawn's watch.

"IT'S SO EXCITING!" No. No it's not. Shut up. I hate you.

I can't see what was so bad about coin toss... it's actually nice to have something like this to decide who goes first rather than randomly choose one

Rock. Paper. Scissors.

The only one I can think of at the moment that I thought was kinda "eh" was how they incorporated the Pokeathalon into the show. Such a cool thing ended up becoming a single filler? Surely we could've trimmed off that Murkrow and Misdreavus episode for a mini-arc? Speaking of which, THAT episode.

Oh, and most people will probably say Team Aqua and Team Magma...not incorporated that great. I liked the two-parter with the Team Aqua guy who invaded Devon Corp. and later kidnapped Peeko from Mr. Briney though, and the Weather Institute one. But everything else was either "eh" or "EHHH?"

It's just that they get so excited about it, and show it off to people, who also get excited about it.

This is what I mean by contrived.

The Pokeathlon was handled pretty badly in the show yeah.

You know... I really have to agree with that, considering how many other far more usual applications the Pokétch has, kinda dissapointed that people make a huge deal over THAT one.

But I guess if they're going to add a fancy CGI coin being flipped, they'll introduce it with as much fanfare as possible.

Lesse... Oh yeah, the Pokémon featured througout the DP saga.

It seems that along with the Pokémon introduced in Diamond and Pearl (obviously a given), an abnormal amount of Gen II Pokémon made an appearence. Especially if they were Gen II Pokémon that evolved into Gen IV Pokémon. All of these managed to make it onto the main cast of characters: Ambipom, Gliscour, Mamoswine, Togekiss, Yanmega... Even Paul's Honchkrow and Weavile could be considered Gen II/IV fanservice.

Sudowoodo could be considered one as well if you included Gen IV Pokémon that evolve into Gen II ones... Maybe Happiny as well.
