      GUYS GUYS GUYS, I realized about one pokemon coincidence. So, this has to do something about math, sooooo. (this coincidence doesn't include generation 1) do Do you guys know about the pokemon remakes?
      Lets have an example: Generation 2's remake is on generation 4. Lets use multiplication.
      2 x 2 = 4!!! Each remake of it's generation is the double number of it's original generation!
      2 x 3 = 6, the remake of ruby and sapphire is gonna be generation 6!
      2 x 4 = 8, so diamond and pearl's remake is gonna be generation 8!
      COINCEDINCE?

    Just to correct you, blaziken wasn't banned because of batton passing, batton passing is already too strong by itself. Blaziken was banned because it was too strong as a revange killer. The ability to get speed boost + sword dance in only one turn, and the fact it still had 3 coverage mooves it could use with it gave it the ability to win any match with one good anticipation.

      Sceptile isn’t scary. It’s just derpy and is a kinda terrible design. Imagine being loved so much then realizing you are a Christmas tree. And there is no reason to choose Sceptile in hoenn at all. Yeah there may be a lot of water in hoenn but Juan the water type gym leader has ice types. Sceptile also remains a pure grass type and it’s mega does *not* help that at all. A 4x weakness to ice is not good. Sceptile literally goes extinct when it touches a shard of ice. Swampert is obviously way better and blaziken gets speed boost and hits very hard. Those 2 are better options….. oh and swampert is a mud fish not an axolotl

      @@zememerr2329 Yeah, the "AAAAALMOST" factor is kinda like Gen 6, except in that one they fortified the pre-existing loop. I just think it would be cool as a teaching tool for kids to learn about type match ups, and to have varying move pools to cover disadvantages. It's not even that sweaty of a concept either, and by baking it into the starter trio, it raises the chances of kids internalizing that without necessarily having to be told it, or even realizing themselves that they're doing it. And it would give something for the rivals to do, and give a bit of surprise. The first time the "Weak" rival busted out a super effective move on their subtype, it'll be an eye opener.

    correction: the gen 5 starters do NOT represent asian higher social classes. serperior is based on french royalty, and I don't think I have to remind you that france isn't an asian country.
    instead, the theme with the gen 5 starters is that they represent europe (serperior), china (emboar) and japan (samurott).
    this was because something they wanted to incorperare in gen 5's characters and pokemon was diversity, and different nationalities, inspired by the diversity of people in america/new york compared to a place like japan.

    it would be cool, if in a future generation, they would have more obvious differences in starters. for example: Imagine if a female Wartortle didn't evolve into Blastoise, but into a faster more special attack orientated fighter, or if Male Primarina had a drastically different form and typing. So Primarina (m) could be Water/dark, or Water/Fighting.

    According to beta information, Cydnaquil was orginally planned to be a steel type.
    This is explains why "Metal Claw" seemed weird that only scizor got it, As it has pincers NOT claws, crabhammer existed, metal pincer move would have been easy to do.
    I think it might have been planned for the steel type version of cyndaquil, something that has claws but the move was thrown onto scizor as it was already complete.

    You were way off with fact number 18, at least with gens 1-3 but also 5.
    Gen 1's starter theme was grim scientific experimentation; the Bulbasaur line being an abomination combination of a plant and animal (which is why its plant traits are the least seamless of any grass starter), the Charmander line being a lizard genetically mutated into a dragon and the Squirtle line being turned into a freaking cyborg. This fits in with Kanto's whole dystopian theme with Team Rocket, living pollution Pokemon like Grimer and Koffing, The Pokemon Mansion, why so many Pokemon are classified as endangered, the unbalanced Pokedex and the ultimate legendary Mewtwo being a crime-funded super weapon.
    Gen 2's starter theme was purity; A stark contrast to Kanto's dystopian theme, the Johto region as a whole is cleaner and less corrupted and this is reflected in their starters being mono-type and having more natural designs.
    Gen 3's starter theme was habitats; The Hoenn region as a whole has a theme of harmony in the natural world and this is reflected by Hoenn despite being a small island having many different types of habitats and the plot to maintain that harmony by stopping Team Magma/Aqua. The Treecko line represents the rainforest, the Torchic line the volcano and Mudkip line the shore.
    Gen 5's stater theme was cultures but you were a bit off with which ones. The Snivy line has been stated MANY times to be based on FRENCH royalty, the Tepig line has a Chinese theme and of course the Oshawott line is Japanese inspired.
    It could also be said that Gen 7 continued Gen 6's RPG class theme with the Archer, Berserker/Barbarian and Bard

    Another fun starter fact, the Tepig line when it comss it its hidden ability is the only starter that changes when it evolces and reaches its final evolution, as the HA for Tepig and Pignite are Thick Fat and the HA for Emboar is Reckless. Also Pignite with an evolite has higher defenses than emboar and wirh the added extra resistance to fire and ice as it was already resistant to those b4 its HA makes it arguably viable to use with evolite or atleast unique
