Do you think move types should be changed?

Meister_anon~Master_o f_None, Apr 25: idk that wouldn't really be any more broken than choice scarf explosion/self-destruct and those already exist. and realistically a fiery explosion does wreck all those things. burns grass, mangles and melts steal, and completely evaporates ice. ...

Should attract/infatuation only work for the pokemon that used the move?

Meister_anon~Master_o f_None, Mar 17: Pretty straight forward, should attract, and the infatuation status as a whole, be changed, so it only immobilizes the target pokemon, when they are facing the pokemon they are infatuated with? I think it makes more sense that way, but I don't...

For and Against Increasing Shiny Rates

rofltje, Jan 21: Personally, I think the question is not just changing the odds of getting a shiny, but also the mechanism behind it. Part of the mechanism needs to be chance based, as that gives that adrenaline rush feeling when you actually do get a shiny (for...

Favorite GBA hack game!! ? (your opinion)

(12 pages)

Gl1tchedShad0ws, Jan 18: The Dark Rising series or the Polka Aqua series are a MUST from me! If you want a game with a darker story though, Pokemon Karosu (sorry i cant spell-) is the way to go!! These games stand out the most to me so this is the best I got! ^^'

Should Fakemon Be Shared?

(2 pages)

CoreBear, Dec 2019: I agree. If we were to open a fakemon resource, it would solve a lot of problems. you choose whether or not to put it there, and once it is, anyone can use it. Simple enough. I mean, I'd certainly add my own stuff.
