I agree with whoever liked the dog starter. I too was born in 94, so I'd love it. I mean, you shouldn't nickname legendaries, except for make them grammatically correct, and, well, none of my games contain Growlithe, and Poochyena/Mightyena aren't useable enough in R/S due to the complicated typing and physical/special system.
I really think we need to see Ninetales receiving a better movepool. The poor thing is basically Arcanine's opposite (both fire, never obtainable in the same game, both evolve with Fire Stone), but sadly it hasn't got anything like the moves.
A Luvdisc evolution? And an ugly Feebas evo?(max. out it's toughness??).
I could actually see Milotic being a version mascot, seeing as it represents peace, according to these Bulbapedia quotations:
"Milotic is a peaceful Pokémon that typically tries to avoid battles. It appears to dislike conflict, and will even appear before arguing humans in an attempt to calm their minds. It is a historically significant Pokémon, and has been depicted in many works of art."
"Milotic have the ability to calm their enemies by removing their negative feelings,"
Also:
"Milotic are divinely rare. They live at the bottom of large lakes."
So, saying it is historically significant, could mean there is a special one (a special move, or an always-shiny one, like the Red Gyarados?), and the region could be north-east of Johto, where there's the huge Biwa Lake?
Or maybe I'm thinking too much into this.
