What even IS a Pikaclone?

Venia Silente, Jun 3: "Pikaclone" is not a tightly defined term; rather, it defines a trend relative to an overall Pokédex. Similar to how for example (most of) every generation has a Regional Caterpie, a Regional Pidgey, a furry bait, and eventually, well, a Regional...

What type combinations would you like to see used more

Reginald Cosmic, May 29: I really wanted an electric/dark-type. I was only waiting a year or two, unlike some fans who might've waited years and years for it. Gen 8 gave up Morpeko, which is definitely cute and all, but I wouldn't mind seeing another electric/dark-type. (I...

What are some Pokémon that would terrify you if they existed in the real world?

Artificial Pokemon Creation

How is Arceus the "god" pokemon

Corveone, Apr 30: Yeah, Arceus has never revealed its primal/true/complete form unlike the other Pokémon you've mentioned. In fact, in Legends Arceus lore you can't even actually catch it, you can only get a fragment of its soul (or something like that) that...
