I especially liked the one where its like "They made fun of my eyes, I made fun of their injuries." Now that I think about it, Espurr would be the perfect Pokemon for Dawn. Both cute psychics that creep people out. I haven't seen that sight, but I think I've seen similar ones full of those memes before that make fun of the weirdness in Pokemon. Ummm, I think there have been times I would rather have not evolved it, but always ended up not cancelling the evolution. I did keep a Charmander from evolving so it could learn some moves earlier, but afterwards let it go ahead.

I love it when they base a Pokemon off an actual unusual creature, Dragalge is obviously based off a sea dragon which is really cool. Wikstrom is the steel guy, some Medieval Knight roleplayer. Diancie? Idk, that's an event Pokemon, which means they're rarer than legendaries in-universe. It'd be like an Elite Four member having Mew or Celebi.

Okay now I know they're intentionally trolling.

The grass starter is usually the most neglected one. As far as I know, Bulbasuar is one of the most loved ones. Bulbasuar isn't hated, just overshadowed by the immensely popular Charmander and Squirtle. Treecko and Snivvy, are also pretty popular Grass starters. I think it's because grass types are just so much more common in games, so less reason for your starter to be that type. Fire is one of the rarer types from wild encounters so that's the more common choice. Well for those who never played the game or did any research, wouldn't even know about the gyms. Tepig is the only Fire-starter I absolutely despise. You know what would be cool? If they break that Fire-Water-Grass pattern for starters and do something different.

I usually do lots of checking on Bulbapedia to decide if a Pokemon is worth grinding for or not. And if they aren't they'll probably sleep in the PC, where they end up digitizing and turning into Digimon. I've never played Showdown before. Yep, it's following in Pikachu's footsteps, only difference is it doesn't have any detractors to balance out it's massive amount of fans.

I meant it was the first time they introduced the friendship mechanic, which was kind of revolutionary at the time. Encouraged the player not to let the Pokemon get knocked out and use items on it. Mew glitch right? Really amazed by those guys spending days exploiting the game to find cheats to get event Legendaries. Plusle and Minun are the only Pikachu clones I like, since the whole positive negative thing is kind of creative. Pachirisu I'm okay with, but it got lots of hype after that Korean guy used it to win a tournament. I watched a bit of the XY anime, made me go from hating Dedenne to wanting to kill it. It's a clone of Dawn's Piplup that stays outside it Pokeball and doing jack but looking "cute" all the time.

The idea of the Pikachu clones is having an electric mammal sub-mascot for each generation, and they somehow represent the generation. Like Pichu represents Gen II because it introduced breeding, while Plusle and Minum's colors reflect the Ruby Sapphire color scheme. But they just don't get that people outside Japan are sick of the Pikachu clones.

I heard everyone was hyping ORAS, but I haven't played it myself yet. The Mirage spots were really liked though. Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear it. :(

I... kind of liked Johto... Maybe it was because that was the region I started on. It had that Ice Path which was really awesome, and the Lake of Rage which gave you a shiny Gyarados for free. I guess you're right though, it isn't as unpredictable and impressive as other regions. Kalos apparently got quite a mixed reception being based off France, I'm not too sure why. Yeah, Alola does look very promising. I keep thinking tropical locations and volcanoes, probably won't be too much ice Pokemon there. Wow, that's ... good to know. Do you hate them because they can't be removed? You can just visit the Move Deleter guy.
