I use Ambipom wherever available which is rare. Sinnoh games are the only times, really.

Arbok I thought this was Corbeau's ace before playing Z-A.
Nidoking Giovanni's ace...there's a hypothetical remake of the originals where this makes a debut.
Nidoqueen
Venemoth For whatever it's worth, it did get a nice feature in the final dungeon of Scarlet and Violet.
Parasect I'm a fan, but there is neither a design nor competitive reason to give an alternate form; there's not much improvement to be had here.
Golduck
Dewgong There's no saving this design or Hypno's.

Seaking desperately needs it
Ditto like Mew, doesn't need it conceptually
Omastar There's a lot of potential with fossils. No doubt they have power-ups and forms lost to time. If a special form was time-limited in battle only like Terastal, Mega, or Dynamax, it wouldn't appear in the fossil record.

Different people like different pokemon than you. Most people like garchomp but not everyone has that as their favorite

You're barking up the wrong tree; I have relatively obscure favorites. This is a game design argument and, frankly, a reality check.

No game needs (or in any way benefits from, more to the point) one thousand monsters. 'Dexit' is a meme spread by the same audience that raises Charizards and Garchomps every generation and not the Alomomolas, Miniors, and Tangrowths of the world. Every monster should be on rotation to get featured again every few generations, sure, but the notion that anyone is intentionally raising Bellossom in 2025 is comic. Four to six hundred in a given generation is probably the sweet spot because it balances monster diversity, developer effort, and game balance. This will still hold true when we break the 1200 mark, so Cramorant fans had better buckle up...or just go replay the games where these beloved monsters made their debuts in the first place.

Nobody over ten years old wants this. While it's not a fundamental game design tenet, most roleplaying games can support eight to thirteen dungeons and something around that many bosses (often less).

There have been several scale figures in the last few years, so the audience isn't exactly dormant even granting that YashaHime didn't make much of a splash. The manga is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary.

SOS calls in Bagon encounters, which are already rare enough, can have a like, 1% chance to call in a very low leveled Salamence. It's not worth the time investing into it unless you really want that underleveled Salamence.

Battle Network-style games are so relatively cheap to make that it's clear there's no will to do so ever again. They used to pump these out every year. Counting Star Force, was the pattern broken for the entire aughts? That's nine releases.

Ugh, please tell me Vita's not gonna be joining Shirley and Mariabelle in the the "Haha I'm so QUIRKY, so you can't treat me like a monster :3" club for badly written Trails villainesses.

If that was their slant, they'd have leaned more into Misty in this game. She really just plays threatening witch when you encounter her.

The mythos surrounding its formation of the Terastal phenomenon, the implication of its origins, the expedition that discovered it (sketch above from the SV Book), its cuteness, its power...hits so many of the right notes. I don't know why it isn't more popular.

What's amusing about the NA one is that it doesn't depict anything in the game. Totori's hometown, Alanya, is much smaller, and Arland isn't coastal.

But, anyway, I voted DX. Gust recognizes this as the best artwork which is why it was used for the anniversary limited art prints.

ZA stuff was good but nothing new shown but mobile puzzle game.

They do know the people that bother watching the streans live are core fans that want console games right? If you are just going to drop a billion mobile game updates that is what social media exists for.

If you don't have at least one of a Pokemon Snap, Mystery Dungeon, Pokken 2, a new console spinoff etc I don't know why they bother with a presents.

People expect NEW announcements of console GAMES from direct format presentations. I can't remember the last time I watched a presents and felt like my time wasn't wasted.

There has not been a new MD game in literally a decade. The dream is dead.

They tend to loop rapidly, but the team had to do more with less in those cases. Chiefly, something like this:
BN3 headquarters, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_CKETfEKpk
It loops in thirty seconds which is objectively terrible, but it really works in-game. Another off the top of my head like this is BN2's boss theme.

Other favorites off the top of my head:

SF3 not-headquarters, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWxYgq6u0G8

That there are only two more titles after Horizon to conclude the story.

There are two more story arcs left with minimally two games apiece but more than likely four. That suggests eight to ten games to go after Horizon II.

While the quiz is easy (though, it's amusing if you go there before finishing the campaign because Rika will fail you), the real point is to highlight that Rika's occupation is league reception. All of the Gym Leaders and Elites are adults with real jobs. Hers just happens to be kind of mundane but important to us.

Honestly, she's probably younger than she looks; many characters that players believe are senior-coded are actually forties and fifties. She's probably not a day over fifty-five.

But, the actual answer is apparently a millennium or two because, of course.

I do like Armor and Spirit, but we'll stick to the main lines. The lower ranks look like colored blobs, and most of the Mega are overdesigned. Somewhere in the middle is a happy medium splitting me between Champion and Ultimate. Actually, the designs of the armored ones (and the versatilities of the armors) are the most fun, so I am going with other.

Ash and his mother are Dittos who escaped from Cinnabar Island after stealing the Tombstoner TM. What does that TM do? It turns Dittos into real people. Since TMs are single-use in the first generation, the mother naturally uses it on her baby Ditto, and with that, they have a solid cover story for living quietly in the region's sleepiest town. They make friends with the locals, especially the Oaks, to stave off suspicions.

+1

It's a travesty that the remakes changed it to Tombstony.
