Honestly I think I would be more excited if this situation was the other way around.

I've always wanted an open world pokemon game but I don't thrust Gamefreak with being able to pull it off, however I would thrust an external party.

My hope here is for GF's game to turn out like shit and the externally developed remake to overtake it in sales, I feel that would finally shake up management and cause the big N to consider outsourcing the license to companies that give a shit.
I think Pokemon should've always been developed by some others in the first place like Nintendo, Ape Inc/Creatures, Intelligent Systems, HAL, and or Monolith Soft. GameFreak always had issues with programming the games and having a few more developers would really make the games even better.
 
Ah, Deviant Crow. This video was pretty typical in terms of autism until he claimed Pokémon's society went under Socialism. :story:
My Brain is already too fried from lack of sleep to catch he said something that stupid. But now since you mentioned it, I rewatched the video. What the hell goes through the brains of these people? You know other then the deprived degeneracy that makes up the personality of people this stupid.

Which is precisely why I posted it here.

But seriously, socialism is all the rage, these days and this guy didn't watch the anime or play the games. For instance, he thought that an paralysis heal would actually cure paraplegia.

I assume he would also be the type that fall for the old sell a bridge scam. I wouldn't be surprised if you paint a fucking egg and tell him it's a pokemon egg, he think it's real one. :story:
 
Even still, if lucario comes in with an iron type move, it'll end up outsped by both infernape and staraptor, two pretty common team picks that can exploit its steel typing with fire lulz and close combat. Even if lucario starts having steel moves, I'm not saying you can or really even should solo Cynthia with a single fairy type. I would say that if remake garchomp packs a steel move, it's not impossible to TM or egg move a fairy move onto a non-fairy pokemon. adding fairy type adds potentially very useful pokemon as well as a whole nother type you can use when TMing in coverage moves on non-fairy mons. not only can you do that with ice like in the past, you can do the same with fairy now too. It's just more shit to add into the toolkit against that fucking awful garchomp
This is a really long winded way to say 'a properly built team can handle Cynthia easily' to which i think the only real answer is 'no shit, sherlock.' My point was, one more tool in the toolkit does not an easier time make, as it has to replace a different tool in the toolkit and is arguably less appropriate than some other choices (such as Ice, which also handles Bertha).
 
A massive portion of Sinnoh's areas had very prominent ice-types. Having people use fairy for dragons is actually arguably a buff, as they don't get 4x against Garchomp and are weak to lucario.
Doesn't the main Sinnoh region had, like, four ice type Pokemon? I might be forgetting one or two, but Ice is one of the rarest types in the series.

This prompted me to check it and... it turns out fire wasn't the only type that was overlooked. Huh.

They fixed this in Plat, by adding in the pokemon with sinnoh evolutions (Eevee, Swinub, and Snorunt). So, assuming the plat dex, there's at least 5.

And that's obvs. not counting every water type with ice beam or ice punch, which is... every water type.
 

Meme aside, they are not going to pass up the chance to shove Eevee in the game at least so Flareon and Glaceon will be options. Possibly Sylveon too depending on the meaning of originally available Pokemon seeing as how Sylveon is the only new evolution they've added since Gen 4. Ruby and Sapphire didn't have Eevee in it, but Emerald, ORAS, and Platinum all did.

As for controversial opinions, I'm hoping they keep the TR/TM system from Sword and Shield. TRs are easy enough to farm, especially with the raid reset glitch, and having 200 teachable moves was great for move diversity. With a limited number of TMs there's no way we get both Waterfall and Liquidation for example, leaving some Pokemon out in the cold.
 
Does anybody on the forums play Pokemon in the present day? Or if you don't and you did play why and when did you stop?
My favorite pokemon is kabutops

I remember the first giveaway I went to was to get a Shaymin for DPPT at Toys R Us.
I was unfortunately never able to make it to any Toys R Us promotions as the closest one when I was a kid was over 3 hours away. The only Pokémon promotion I was able to do in person was collecting the Ancient Mew and 3 Legendary bird cards from the Pokémon 2000 movie in theaters. I think I still have them all in a binder somewhere too.
 
I was watching some youtube videos related to pokemon when I saw this pokemon.

And I thought to myself "That's a stupid looking fakemon."

Then I find out it's a real pokemon. Why? Why is Foongus a thing? I know every gen needs Mimic type pokemon, but why this?

Well I never! I'll have you know that foongus is one of the cutest mimic pokemon to come out of the franchise to date.

To answer your question, though, its because every odd numbered generation has a mushroom pokemon and foongus & amoongus was gen 5's.

Better than that abomination of Shiinotic. They did poor Morelull dirty.

How could this adorable thing.

Turn into this horrific K-Mart Toad monster.

Also to allow them to pull the 'fake pokeball' trick in the forests to throw people off.

Honestly, 90% of generation 8's Pokémon look like terrible Fakemon. This just looks like a relatively simple Pokémon, and it's cute.

Plus, I'm pretty sure most of generation 5's pokedex are reskins of generation 1 Pokémon, at least in concept? Foongus is the Voltorb of Unova, just without the explosions.
