They could bring back the Game Corner...
I miss gambling


Well...Celadon and Fuchsia City have been overrun by Muk and Grimer, killing everyone in them and now threaten to poison the entire Kanto Region

Ain't that something else...

And of course Ash and co. head straight for it

DID THEY LEARN NOTHING FROM THE GIANT BEEDRILL HIVE OR ZUBAT CONFLICT?

Although just leaving them to render a region that's already more-or-less evacuated completely inhospitable doesn't seem so bad...

But an entire region full of creatures that secrete poison would eventually destroy the entire world, so...

Ech indeed. It's bothersome.

But you know what they say, eventually, something's gotta give. Change is inevitable- I'm pretty sure 4Kids marketing released a rather enjoyable song about that back in their 2.b.a Master album. Changes, I believe it was called. A rather clever tie in between growing up, general changes, and Pokemon evolution. It was a good song, they put a lot of money into the advertising and marketing for the Pokemon anime back in the Indigo Plateau arc.

Good times.

I dunno. I really like turn based games. :)

Interesting

The Legendary Golems cannot die unless the gems on Regigigas are destroyed

At least, that's the excuse the author made when he had Mewtwo and Ho-Oh fight them

Although I find the image of Mewtwo beating Registeel to death with its own arms to be rather amusing

Ho-Oh more-or-less controls Mewtwo's body though, since Mewtwo attacked him

Good story

That's not the point, though; this has nothing to do with whether TBRPGs are good or bad. Turn-based games have, in the past, been subject to unchange. Genre fatigue started to set in and that's why the RPG genre is so much more varied today than it was back then, that's why you don't see a lot of bare-bones TBRPGs (like Pokemon). Generally modern Turn Based titles, like Shin Megami Tensei (well, it predates Pokemon, but it's still rather modernized) and Radiant Historia have their own twists and are rather unique, and in the case of the former, it changes from game to game and series to series. It's not only what keeps them fresh, but it makes them fun, individual experiences that doesn't feel like you're playing just any TBRPG (and, as a result, any fatigue you may gain probably won't carry over).

And it's not like Pokemon's a gem because it sticks to its roots- it's not that it's outdated that makes this case so bad, it's that it's the same thing from entry to entry (and worse, people look forward to it in spite of that, generally with the actual gameplay not being what they're looking forward to).

Old Fifa games were great fun, they got worse when the graphics started improving though.

Konami make the best football game, although even they are yet to improve on PES4 and PES5.

Yes, but you can't deny that there was only 70 new Pokémon this generation (the lowest addition since Generation II) and loads of them are based on real life, inanimate objects. This isn't counting Mega Evolutions, though, but they're just old Pokémon being enhanced somehow. You can say that they were using inanimate objects as ideas about previous generations, but here it's a lot more easier to spot.

I'm not saying there should be more Pokémon, though, there is more than enough already.

Are Mega Evolutions really that different from normal cross-gen evolutions, from a technical standpoint? Megas are usually made to fill a different mechanical niche than their standard forms, they have evolution-like stat spreads and their designs are most of the time pretty creative. Complaining about how few new designs they've made while disregarding all the Megas, in the generation that's pretty much all about the Megas, feels off.

The only gen 6 "inanimate object" Pokémon that come to mind are klefki and the Honedge line. I'm not sure how taking inspiration from some things are objectively better or worse than other things, but what I can tell you is that I find those generally much more interesting and conceptually creative than, say, Magnemite.
