@Mughees, ah that would explain it, no genders in Gen I, except the Nidoran line.

I only use Perish Song in trainer battles. No point for when I'm trying to catch a Pokemon since it needs to be alive/conscious.

Yep, I read that on Flygon's bulbapedia page.

I found a whole page of disturbing Pokedex entries. Pokemon is really delving deep into Yōkai lore. Most of those creepy Pokemon related to ghosts and death are Yokai from Jap folklore.

Frosslass is based on a Yuki Onna, an ice ghost spirit who takes the form of a woman. I knew a lot of Pokemon were inspired by Yokai, but I didn't think they'd go the whole way and have them actually been deceased spirits come back to living realm.

I found a site. Gives lots of explanations as to all of the mythical Jap creatures that Pokemon are inspired by. https://www.tofugu.com/japan/pokemon-yokai/

@RBW, ohhh I see. I can explain. That's because it was filler, didn't happen in the original manga. It was forgotten in the scene when they were reviving planets, so technically didn't happen in Toriyama's canon. I didn't actually watch the anime for that bit and only read the manga, which is why I forgot that scene.

Yes, that's an issue many people have brought up. Trunks timeline seems to be devoid of all the plot conveniences in the main timeline. Maybe the androids killed Baba-Levi so she couldn't escort a deceased person back. Or maybe they just didn't think of doing it at the time. In Buu saga, Goku returned during a period of peace. Though I don't understand why they didn't return after the androids had been wrecking the Earth for over 17 years. Mainly chalk it up to Toriyama didn't think of doing it at the time. If Goku had been training in the afterlife he would have at least unlocked Super Saiyan 2 which would be more than enough to smite the androids.

That's quite interesting you should say that. From what I've heard the Super Saiyan 4 has very divisive opinions. Many people hate it like you do because it's so different and looks nothing like the previous forms, as well as the whole "primal" thing. Others love it for precisely that reason. I think the idea was Super Saiyan 4 was a combination of Super Saiyan and Oozaru (Great Ape). It shouldn't be called Super Saiyan 4 imo, a better name would be Primal Super Saiyan, and it should be a special form separate from the main line. Yep, I feel the same way about the Spirit Bomb. It was very anticlimactic. Gogeta could have and should have ended the fight with that Big Bang Kamehameha. They had to resort to a stupid "All Your Powers Combined" and drew from the entire Universe to do so. At least we now know the Universe in Dragon Ball isn't that big (only a few galaxies), and there are 12 universes in total that make up the Multiverse. Agree 100% about Vegeta. Even Goku's rival and almost equal was reduced to a plot device, only there to be fused with Goku. For me Vegeta was one of the more tolerable characters, as he's mostly in-character during the Baby Saga.

Did you see my PM on chat? I can't link streaming sites in public due to it being wikia policy.

Perish Song is one of the most broken moves in the game. You can use it to make a weak Pokemon beat an uber strong Pokemon. Ah that's right Klefki, the extremely trollish Fairy typing. Foul Play is very annoying move if used against you, but so much fun to use. Torment feels like an improved version of Disable. Still can't believe they named it Swagger. I usually don't like Belly Drum or Curse and moves that sacrifice health, but it's a very OP combo if you can restore Health.
