Contrariwise, a point I've seen a little bit is how this year, the 20th anniversary of Pokemon, has been pointed towards inspiring nostalgia in the fans of the original games. What with Pokemon GO, Alola Forms of apparently Gen I games only, and the release of the originals on the Virtual...

I'm surprised Spoink wasn't mentioned, though I forgot it myself for a while. The Dex entry in a few of the games says that it has to bounce around on its little spring/tail, or else its heart stops. So, it can either bounce around while fainted/asleep/paralysed or it doesn't need its heart to...

I will either do a punny name, such as Skipper for a Mudkip, or a name that starts with the first 2+ letters of the real name, such as a Barboach named Barbara. I like doing each of these within their own games, however. One or the other in a single game :P

Is it coming to 'Murica? I really enjoyed playing Snap, and I'd like to pick it up again... How will the game be controlled?

Thank you, Luna/ScoSap :P

Myself, I consider myself a little bit lucky. I've found a handful of Shinys, but not altogether too many. One thing I was very lucky with was in Emerald. I found a Feebas spot on the fifth tile I tried. In battles, I have so so luck; I don't tempt fate or anything, though, so it's a little hard...

I like a lot of the new features, as long as they're natural. So I'm a purist in a way? How I mean it is that baby Pokemon and breeding are both natural things that happen. DNA splicing isn't. Alola Form Pokemon seems natural to me. Mega evolution doesn't. I mean, I've not played X/Y, so there...

Pokemon may be a game of skill, or wits, or perseverance, or all three. However, there is one additional item of concern: Luck. From move accuracy, to breeding, to the chances of getting a Shiny Pokemon, many things have their basis laid in luck. When have you been lucky in the Pokemon games...

Something that seems to surprise me is thinking on how there are only 6 Generations. After 20 years of games, and over 700 Pokemon made, we're only 6 Generations in. I would think, with these big numbers, that there'd have been more, but I suppose a lot goes in a game. Probably they'd not have...

I like Magma and Aqua for the duology that they have between them. They're also the first team to properly seek to use the powerful Legendary Pokemon that their World contains for the completion of a clear goal. Also, they're from Gen III I also really like Plasma for almost not doing that, but...

I would love to have an Old Sea Map in Emerald, in order to get a Shiny Mew, but that's not happening :P The item I use that I like most would be the Bicycle. With its nice theme music, and speedy travel, I use the bike a lot anymore. I used to just fly place to place, but if there's a route I...

I doubt that anyone would decide to not use a Pokecenter, the game would be nigh impossible if they tried playing without using one :P I was mildly upset when they merged the Pokecenters and Pokemarts. I honestly prefer the independent feelings the old Pokemarts have.. Plus there are no more...

I'd forgotten that S/M are Gen VII :P it's still possible, though. Just massively unlikely :P

Concerning alternate dimensions: There is nothing to say that, chronologically, the alternate dimensions are not the same temporally. In other words, while an event may not have taken place, causing some effects to the spacial realm, that event may not have affected the time that any future...

How about the other guy in Mossdeep, who had the three trees blocking a door? I think he had a counterpart from FR/LG located on the Seventh Island, too. His purpose had something to do with those e-reader cards or something, but if you didn't have them/know that, then the door would just sit...
