5th Gen GameFreak is a troll

[Gymnotide]

ITT: There are a lot of instances where it feels like GameFreak is trolling in the new Generation. Feel free to discuss these things.

Among them are:

• Shedinja's Life Gamble
• Yanakki having exactly 101 base speed to outspeed the 100 speed Pokemon
• Rotom-F having Levitate while being Flying-type
• The new attack called "Troll" (other sources call "Sing A Round" or "Canon") gets stronger in groups
• Making Maggyo a near worthless Pokemon of unique typing... With Limber wth
• Keep staring at this:
  
  
• Giving Aianto Truant as his Dream World ability (no, this does not combo well with that ability-sharing technique)
• Giving Swampert Damp as his Dream World ability
• Mamanbou not a Luvdisc evolution
• Baibanira

I have to disagree with you disliking Baibanira, and you disliking Maggyo. Discussing how much you hate specific pokemon should be elsewhere. However most of the other things up for discussion are to be expected.

Spoiler:

...Theres a new attack called "Troll?" All the attacks are in Japanese-- unless you mean the translation is "Troll."

Why must they make Shedinja so freaking powerful? Now he has Life Gamble. All right, go ahead and destroy-all-Pokemon, please.

The others don't seem to be trolling, in my opinion. Just what GameFreak has been doing for years now, especially with Maggyo. The new Bidoof?

No, Minezumi is the new Bidoof.

No, Minezumi is the new Bidoof.

Spoiler:

Even stat-wise? He sure looks the part. Please, no more Bidoof clones. I'm going to cry.

Interesting idea (I know what you were aiming for, I think), but judging from the responses, it's just going to be a copy of your opinions of B/W Pokemon - whether you think they're a joke or not, or whether you think they're replacements of old Pokemon, the changes to old Pokemon - which could be considered "trolling" and finally pros and cons, which is where the topic of "trolling" can fit into... all of them. Because otherwise this thread is just going to get too off-topic. :(
