Well I did say trend, which means a lot but not all. I mean Froakie looks goofy but all of it's evolutions have this awesome ninja design. While Oshawott is cute, but it ends up becoming these samurai otters. Wow, what is with all these Japanese themed warrior water starters? What's Popplio going to end up as? A Sumo seal? Ikr, Sceptile looks like it has a fan coming out of its ass. Don't have the game, but know all about them, and yes they are very fun.

I think the magic of the Kanto starters was they were simple and relatable. The animals matched the elements perfectly, and they're not Jap exclusive creatures. Fire and Dragon, that just clicked and stuck with people, and hence so much Charizard hype. Apparently they based off Emboar off the Pig from Journey to the West, you know the Monkey King story. The Snivvy line seems to be the most popular grass starter, and the one of the most useful. I think the only other generation where grass did well was Turtwig in DP. Yeah, Serperior is just lethal. Oh wow, so you're respected both there and here, well done. I usually look up GameFAQs for those kinds of things. How did you get Eevee as a starter in White? Or do you mean Snivvy was the starter and you got Eevee early on? I nicknamed my Pokemon for two games, but afterwards I just couldn't be bothered anymore. Though I don't nickname the Eeveelutions. A few of the names I chose "Totoro" for "Snorlax" (after that anime film), and "Kirby" for Jigglypuff. Yeah, I'm weird. Umbreon is still my favorite Eeveelution, and one of my all-time favorites ever. Yeah it's a starter in Conquest, but I meant in one of the main games.

I take it you don't bother completing the Pokedex after the first play through? Do you keep some of the Pokemon you previously caught when you start a new game and trade them in?

Ah yeah, I get it now. Definitely had the same issue. When that happens I usually reload a save from before the Pokemon learned that move, and then either erase the HM or stop the Pokemon from leveling up until I get rid of it. Replacing HMs would be so much better. Especially since you can teach it an infinite amount of times to multiple Pokemon. If you erase it on one Pokemon, just teach it to another. GameFreak really didn't think that through. Well I'm just annoyed I have to teach my Lugia to Fly and it takes up a spot in one of it's 4 moves. You'd think all flying types would now how to fly already, except Gyarados which makes no sense why it's a Flying type to begin with.

Oh yeah, I forgot Gen 5 skipped it. It's not like they're short on typings for a new Eeveelution. I would probably overuse Spectreon so much. Ghost types can be very useful, and very trollish. Misdreavus is one of my favorites. In all honesty, I didn't like the Mega Evolution concept at all when it was introduced. The whole temporary powerups for a creature just made little sense, and came off as an obvious pandering to the fanbase by making favorites even more OP. Most of the Megas designs are just lazy, giving a slight coloration change or adding one subtle feature (*cough* Lucario, Gardevoir, Blaziken). While there are individual Megas I like though, I'm with the group who wish they never introduced Megas to begin with. Mega Gyarados looks pretty cool. And I like how Mega Kangaskhan has the baby out of the pouch. Geez, Mawile is one of those Pokemon that looked like it came out of a dev's nightmares.
