Sorry, but what? What could even remotely give you that idea? Pokemon is going stronger than it ever has been. Red and Blue sold roughly nine million copies, which is a lot. Ruby and Sapphire, however, sold about 13 million, and Diamond and Pearl nearly fifteen million copies. And that's not...

I could see Cheren becoming Champion. He came to a pretty good conclusion about what it means to be strong, and after a couple of years he could definitely become a fine trainer indeed. I would hope that they revamp his team a little, in that case- they'd probably drop the starter and the...

This is my guess. I used Tepig in Black and Snivy in White, and I'd like to give Oshawott a fair shot as well. I'll probably make a starterless run in the other game and just choose one based on how it affects the plot/what Pokemon the rival has.

Looks like a giant robot Tyranitar to me. Don't forget that's right after the green-screen set in the trailer, so perhaps the two are connected. Maybe they're making a Pokemon sentai show in-universe? Anyway, I don't particularly care which Pokemon are added, as long as it's a variety of types...

Boxed them both, since I prefer not to rely on legendary-class power ingame. I did use them for the final battles in the story, though, just because that was pretty epic. I'm currently doing a White Nuzlocke run, I might use Zekrom in that, depending on how things go there.

I loved the games, so there's few things that irk me. However, that's not to say they were perfect... -Black City/White Forest's mechanics. If you are unable to play the games for a while, you get punished by losing people there and losing potential items/Pokemon. That's unfair for people who...

There are still people who believe that whole load of "you killed the rival's Raticate" Tauros-plop? Dear lord. If you believe that I've got a truck with a Mew inside it, it'll only cost you a million bucks. Anyway the entire point of Blue's story is that he only cares about winning and thinks...

More remakes? Ugh, no thank you. Everyone's remake-crazy nowadays, and I don't see for the life of me why. I'd far prefer new material to rehashes. FRLG and HGSS were OK since those regions had zero connectivity to the newer ones, but Hoenn's just fine where it is. And if they do remake it...

I always thought it was fitting for him to do so. He asks the Pokemon in the surrounding area to lend him a hand and then he lets them go back to their lives in the wild once the battle is done. Raises some interesting implications, though... what if you caught those Pokemon yourself and used...

Hmmm... my dad would be a Slaking, perhaps. Not that I'm saying he's lazy- rather that he's very hardworking (as Slaking has high stats), but he loves to relax when he isn't (which is only one or two days a week). Or perhaps Blastoise, maybe because he reminds me a bit of the "cool supportive...

Whoa, wait, what? Rapidash? Ponyta's not that small, just about the size of a young horse. Rapidash isn't much more than two feet taller. That's nowhere near the difference of the others you listed. (and, in fact, Dragonite is smaller than Dragonair!) I think to some extent Unown should be...

Using the anime as your basis there? Hooey, them's dangerous waters to be treadin' round here, boy. In other words, go off the games for your canon. The anime contradicts the games, not the other way around. As for Zangoose and Seviper, that's a little thing we like to call Foe Yay. Hmmm...

I like the music changing. It's a nice addition and certainly adds to the feel, not to mention that the new "critical health" is so much better than plain beeping. I think it could be more widespread, yes, but I feel they were testing the waters with this one. One place where it actually annoys...

The finale of Emerald, starting from around the point Emerald got Jirachi to hear him out by admitting he didn't love battles, but Pokemon themselves. All the dex holders fighting alongside each other, Red and Gold double-teaming Guile Hideout with their fully evolved Polis, that final clash...

There's always one or two no matter the game- I actually keep a list of what I want to use but haven't so I can hopefully pare it down a bit. As for Black and White, Sigilyph and Reuniclus in particular were ones I'd have liked to use but ultimately didn't have room for.
