Slaking maybe. He just likes to lay around and relax, but if you mess with him he will grind you into paste. Much like me, except I can't beat anyone up for messing with me.

Every MMO I've played has stuff you can buy with real money. This does cause an imbalance, but it also helps pay for the game. As long as it doesn't keep you from fully playing the game, I'm all right with it.

Since it will be possible to specialize, I will try to become a renown water pokemon user, and make a great Rain Dance team. Though not all of my pokemon will be water type. Especially since Toxicroak (poison/fighting) has a good ability called dry skin that works in rain.

I'll also be running around with a Parasect to use for catching pokemon, as I made a really nice pokemon catcher out of a Parasect.

I think Mantine is fine. It actually learns a flying type attack, unlike Gyarados, and is a good special sponge.

Unknown was created to be the pokemon version of a secret code, even though most of the letters they take the shape of are easily identifiable.

Pokemon like Picharisu and Plusle/Minun. If you're going to make a pokemon with no evolutions, don't make them so weak. Dunsparce is in this group too.

Too many of a certain type of pokemon. Do we really need three different normal type versions of a cat? Persian was fine, and Delcatty is ok if you think of it like a pampered housecat as opposed to a feral cat like Persian. But Purugly? Why? This also includes too many of a certain type. Of course this goes along with my believe that we have way too many pokemon in total. Coming out with new pokemon each generation is all well and good, but does it have to be 100+ each time?

From a strategic standpoint you have some pokemon like Camerupt. Low defenses and health do not go well with low speed, especially when your signature move loses power when you lose health.


As a final off topic note, I'm posting in this old thread because a Mod locked a recent best or worst thread and linked to this one, telling the OP to use the search function. It seems odd for a Mod to do this for such an old thread, but whatever.

Water types for the win!

Weird. I checked the pages tor a thread like this but didn't see one, so I started my own thread. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place?

Anyway, I mentioned that very few types resist water attacks, and aside from pokemon with water absorb and hydration nothing is immune to it. There are also a lot of dual water types out there.

I do like some other pokemon like Infernape, Jolteon, Rhyperior, Scizor, Charizard, ect.

Does anyone have a favored type? Has anyone ever tried using a mono type team like they do in gyms?

Mine is water. It's only resisted by three types, and nothing is immune except pokemon with the Hydration and Water Absorb abilities. There's a part water type for almost every other type out there, which makes setting up a mono type team easy. Plus when I play the games I usually find a flying type and Geodude early which covers my water starter's weaknesses.

Yeah I read the notice saying don't ask that. It's not out yet, and the release date isn't set in stone. I understand.

Edit: Oh, that's your signature. You just typed welcome, and I read your signature as part of your post.
