and a Sphinx Pokemon.......without making the head look too human.
Exactly, not only would that be cool, but it could basically be the lion pokemon that we don't really have yet. And for some reason when I think of desert stuff, I think of fire because it's hot, so make it fire type. Since it's a sphinx it might make sense to make it rock/fire, but that makes it too easy for water or ground to take it out. It would be interesting either way.

Also, why not have EV's and IV's actually show up? What's the point in making you keep track of them outside of the game?
I realized why this wouldn't work and probably why they didn't do it in the first place. Since this game is directed mostly at kids, it's already bad enough that you got one set numbers for all 6 stats. But if you showed 2 more sets of numbers for each stat, kids would probably get confused and it would push them away from the game. And if most of the kids stopped liking the game, you would only have us fans buying it, and they might just stop making it because they don't get much money. I know this probably wouldn't happen, but now I think it is better that they keep those extra numbers hidden.
This might possibly be an interesting idea. If you are familiar with the Pokemon TCG, you might know that they made some Unknown cards that can attach to your pokemon like an item. Why not make a smaller sub-pokemon that can be grouped to a regular pokemon, changing it's ability or giving it some other effect? And the sub-pokemon can be leveled up too, but it's stats and everything will always be weaker than the regular pokemon. So it would be harder to level them up, but worth it since it would give your regular pokemon a better boost the higher it's level is. This idea could be good, but it might also suck because it would be a big addition to the game that might change things to much.
