I don't care i wanna scrap my old post but I'm too lazy to go look for it...

Typhlosion
Nidoking
Scizor
Pidgeot
Gyarados
Ampharos

pretty balanced if you ask me. Scizor wasn't on there before but man, I got one earlier today in my SS and his growth is amazing (It was originally mine, its not the trade bonus so don't bother...)

Again because i cant have legendaries....you know what? no. I only miss a few, like giratina and rayquaza and latias and latios.

Honestly? Ampharos. He gets few weaknesses being electric and has a nice growth rate. He learns thunderpunch and discharge before level 40 so he has some high damaging physical and special attacks. he learns a decent variety of moves naturally and alot of physical TMs work on him.

But everyone seems to ignore the mareep at the beginning....

You made me sad now...

This threads a downer....But its true

I've always hated never having enough stones to evolve everything.
Will we be able to buy stones? Or will they be some sort of reward?

Oh, and a forum discussion question:

Do you bother with a pokemon even if you can't fully evolve it because of a lack of a stone/lack of people to trade with?

I'm going to pop in my old emerald just to properly post on this thread. You should all feel proud.

My pokemans!!!!lets me show u them!!!!

Lets see what we got in meh pc, because I was training a new party so they suck.
I'll just say the top 12:

lvl 80 charizard
lvl 76 groudon
lvl 90 rayquaza
lvl 71 mewtwo
lvl 56 ditto (wow really...)
lvl 50 flygon
lvl 59 swampert
lvl 75 kyogre
lvl 59 sceptile
lvl 62 latias
lvl 63 latios
lvl 100 blaziken

I like my legendaries, i have articuno, zapdos, and moltres but they were below 50 so i didnt bother with them.

Pokemon have better growth rates after they evolve, and I'll just go to a move tutor if I REALLY need a move badly enough.
Also they (usually) look cooler after they evolve.

The team rocket never really had any motivation to being evil other than every npc I talked to said "they use pokemon for evil"

How do they use pokemon for evil? Other than silph co. takeover and radio tower takeover, there was never really any "evil" acts until RSE.

Also, the battle attacks. i understand that they can't do anything special in the gb/gba/ds games because the handhelds just lack the power, but when on GC or Wii, can't you have the attack animations be, for the lack of a better word, more realistic?

If I use bite, or crunch, why don't they actually bite them?
Its not like they're really adding that much more to the games anymore, why can't they start to make the animations not look like theyre standing there literally the entire time?

Use a fire attack on a grass type, have small embers on the pokemon or something.
When you use something like dig or earthquake, maybe have the area take some heat?
When you use something like sky uppercut, actually punch the damn pokemon in the face and, I don't know, have an animation of the enemy launching them?
Maybe have the pokemon move around a little, FFXIII did it, the people and enemies wander and move, even though its(pretty much) turn based combat.

What the hell are the studios doing to take up all their time to make games? Not this obviously

I wish I could have a full set of one genration of starters. Preferrably generation 2 or 3.
But I said blaziken for the poll.
