Frenzy Vine is such an obvious and natural pick for a past Paradox Victreebel that I can see it in my mind's eye already. Not sure about a future Vileplume though. Maybe switch it up and let Vileplume be like Wretch Petal meanwhile Victreebel becomes the Iron Succ.
In the beta for Gold and Silver there was an alternative evo for Weepinbell named Tsubomitto.
The funny part is that, in my theoretical hack, I already added Beta Wooper (because I am a fan of beta designs) and the Kotora line (because plenty of Pokéfans would beg me to pu the line if I am already putting beta Pokémon... and that would make Raciebeep jizz in her pants). Moreover, once I found ou that Magikarp and Gyarados were supposed to get 'Paldean' formes (the same way that Toedscool is a 'Paldean' Tentacool), I decided to make the 'Paldean' Gyarados the one from the prototype:In the beta for Gold and Silver there was an alternative evo for Weepinbell named Tsubomitto.

It got scrapped from the game, along with the Poison stone (which would have been used to evolve Weepinbell for this 'mon). Shame it got scrapped.
Someone pointed out that Tsubomitto's design could be based on a baseball player, which would have been a joke about it being a catcher plant instead of a pitcher plant.
To be fair you kinda have to be autistic to hunt them (and even more autistic if you prefer full odds hunts like me!). No sane person would buy four GBA SPs just so they can quad hunt easier.

Huh. I wonder if that's why there wasn't a leaf stone in Johto? I remember back when I first played Gold, I wanted to have a Victreebell but I had to go to Kanto to find one.In the beta for Gold and Silver there was an alternative evo for Weepinbell named Tsubomitto.

I ended up with the male Lechonk I named Guisado and holy shit I loved sassy pig. He was my tank until the unironically named Best girl Pooper turned into Clodsire.
this time, even if the game is rough looking af in places+times.
I wasn't particularly impressed by Lechonk when it was first revealed, but it's definitely growing on me. Clodsire is one of the best from this gen; as soon as I saw Paldean Wooper I knew I had to have it. I love regular Wooper, too.I ended up with the male Lechonk I named Guisado and holy shit I loved sassy pig. He was my tank until the unironically named Best girl Pooper turned into Clodsire.
Some of the new pokemon designs are
nearly everyone i've seen, myself included, have gotten a shiny really really early into the game. some people have said they didn't get one but maybe they missed it
That's unfortunate; I love weed cat, personally. Its evos are pretty good too. (I hadn't heard of Glip before now. Ew.)
Hm, I didn't. But it's true that I could have missed one. The lack of a shiny sound/visual is criminal.
Legends of Arceus has Meli, who is incredibly narcissistic and uncooperative with not just the player character but every supporting character as well. I relished putting him down.
Wasn't that always the theme with them? Their names implied where they stood on the chain of command as well as their strength. The chess parallels are there (and still is with the "King" in Kingambit), but their designs barely resemble what the names implied they were based on.
The first two evolutions of the line never struck me as Chess-themed beyond the names alone tbh, but I can understand where Rattus is coming from. It seems more logical that the kingambit would look like an imposing combo of the black king, a rook, and blades as opposed to treacherous overlord/samurai.
I loved that they paired him with the just-as-stubborn Lian when shit really started going down.
Yet another thing PLA did better. Not only is it so easy to lose Pokemon if they walk two inches to the left, but it's also not easy to switch to another Pokemon in a crowd or pick out a Pokemon on a different height plane than you. There have been situations where I was in a perfect ambush and my character whiffed the throw because the target Pokemon just walked away two frames before I pressed ZR.
