We've done it with Star Trek, Star Wars, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Flags, and Visual Designs. I almost did Pokemon last year, but I wanted to wait for the new game to come out, and it has, so we'll kick off this year with the Pokemon list. I considered doing another big epic series like Wars, Trek, and Final Fantasy, but the only thing I could think of is Lord of the Rings, and I didn't want to deal with Silmarillion nominations (never read it) or nominations related to video games I haven't played. I only know the Hobbit, LotR, the movies, and the new show, which isn't enough for this project. Stargate does have enough, but it's not as big on Board 8.

As before, you can nominate anything related to Pokemon, however tangentially, and I must insert it awkwardly into a tier list, with a writeup justifying my placement. But know that I'm not the ultimate pokemaniac or anything. I've only played the mainline games (including remakes, minus Hello Pikachu/Eevee and Legends Arceus), the original Pokemon Snap and Stadium, and watched like... more of the anime than I should have, but less than half, by now. So if you nominate that one spinoff game that takes place in Arizona or whatever, it's going to get way less of a writeup than something I know more about.

I Wanna Be the Very Best
Red Battle (GSC): I was wondering if this would ever get nominated. This is pretty easily the best fight in the series. Sixteen gyms and two Elite Fours of build-up, seeing every old face again until you finally encounter... yourself. The ultimate battle against the ultimate trainer, a guy who just got bored of being champion and farted off to train on a mountain. It doesn't even matter that his team is kind of boring and bad, the surprise and build-up more than make up for it. The only flaw is that he for some reason uses the same music as Lance; he clearly should have had his own unique theme. That aside, A+ battle. It's good that the later games didn't try to replicate this, aside from Steven also being a post-game fight in a cave. I especially like how Red shows up in later games, and he's just a thirty-year-old man who says nothing and is obsessed with battling, becoming the Ryu of his series.

Nonliear Gym Routes: A good idea. I know that Koga/Sabrina is technically the first one, but that was clearly an accident. I'm thinking more in terms of Paldea, where it was a good idea... but it clearly should have had scaling gym leaders. I did most of the right side of the map, went back to the left side, and had to fight a level 9 bug leader or whatever. Give me a break. I wonder if they'll keep this nonlinearity later.

Gengar Sitting on the Stairs: I'll admit that this is funny, but it's lacking that certain something of the Keanu Reeves meme. Gengar's expression isn't quite sad enough, it just looks sort of like it's in time-out. Remember when the series treated ghost pokemon as special? You'd never have Gengar sitting on stairs back then. It's like in RotJ when Obi-Wan's ghost just sits on a log and chats with Luke.

Wrap (Gen 1): I haven't played gen 1 since gen 1. I'll say this: I know that the RBY UU metagame is defined by Tentacruel wraps. Obviously, I think it was a good idea to change it to its current form. Gen 1 is such an awkward game, there's really nothing like it anymore, no big title could be that poorly-designed anymore.

Pokemon World Tournament (BW2): What a great idea. As far as I'm concerned, this and Battle Tower are the ideal postgames. Battle Tower is more complex, but this is almost as good, and actually tries to integrate things in a diagetic way... not that there's any way to explain Giovanni's presence, though. Like, really, how good of an idea is it to have all of the significant trainers in the series show up and just fight ya? It's such an obvious idea; I really hope they do it again in gen 10. I played the shit out of this back in the day.

Ultra Necrozma (Battle Theme): I like the twangy build-up at first, it does effectively build suspense, and it sounds like some kind of JRPG final boss theme. Unfortunately, things go awry at about 0:30 and things become more anarchic. Everything except that part is still solid, though, so... pretty good. I don't think I ever heard this theme while playing?

Pokemon being possibly the largest franchise remaining in the world not represented in Fortnite: I've never played Fortnite. Does Pokemon not have a presence in it? Fine. Pokemon is the biggest fictional IP in the world, so if it's not in Fortnite, it is by definition the biggest not in Fortnite.

Evolution Stones: Great idea. You can evolve a pokemon whenever you want, but it permanently loses some of its potential to learn powerful new moves. Too bad everyone just immediately looks up when it learns its most useful moves, and evolves after that. And making some of the stones limited in quantity is always a pain. I still haven't finished my Paldea dex because I can't find another stupid dusk stone.

Gen 3 Aesthetic and Atmosphere: It's strange that the game with the chillest location (tropical islands) has some of the highest stakes. You can't have stakes about how weather gods will destroy the world juxtaposed against a nice happy island aesthetic. That's probably why FRLG are better-remembered; they at least nail the general feeling of Kanto.

Mewtwo: I have mixed feelings about Mewtwo. I firmly believe that Mewtwo was intended to be a horrific abomination, but the ugliness of the original sprites masked that, and that they later revised it to be more graceful and lithe... but I still sort of like it the way it is. Mewtwo is one of the rare ultra legendaries that I actually like -- it really does radiate power, but isn't some kind of stupid deity, it's just "what has science doneeeeee" in Pokemon form. That said, of all pokemon in existence, Mewtwo is the one it makes the least sense for there to be more than one of -- even Arceus could sort of be explained if you wanted, but then the anime just has multiple Mewtwos like it's nothing. Even Mewtwo's place in the game is fun: he's just there, after you already beat the game, like the ultimate weapon in a Final Fantasy you can only obtain after you don't need it anymore.

Pikachu: Pikachu is obviously the most overdone pokemon, it would have to be if even my mom knows what it is on sight, but it sort of does deserve it. It probably is the single best-designed pokemon from a pure market appeal perspective, like the Garfield of Pokemon, except not total garbage. Does anyone actually like Garfield? Yet I see his merch everywhere. This also goes without saying, but Pikachu is also the best of the pikaclones, which is the only one of the one-per-game archetypes (rodents, birds, legendary trio, etc) that I would say that for.

Raja Region: Oh, okay, it took me a moment to figure out that this was based on Southeast Asia. It's not bad, but I'll say that the Pennywise Hypno takes things way too far as a reference. References in Pokemon should never be that on the nose, however funny it is for him to have a Drifloon prisoner. I wouldn't mind a region based on something outside of Japan and the West, some kind of Mexico or Egyptian region or something, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

Starter Type Triangle: I have mixed feelings here. I do think that giving you a choice of three starters is a great idea, but I also think it sort of weighs the series down a little? Like, I get that water, grass, and fire are some basic types that interact with most other types in various ways, and the types they don't (fairy, ghost, psychic, dragon) occupy a space as more mid-to-late game pokemon to fight, which is fun and makes sense... but it sort of forces the entire series to abide by these very specific rules, rather than giving us, I don't know, some kind of wacky steel/ghost/bug starters or whatever. Has there ever been a dual-type starter with bug? Can't be, that'd be too weird. Give us our bug starter, dammit.

Professor Oak being a friend of Ash's when he was a kid: I still don't like this. Like, I get that they're trying to have a cool little "everything is coming together" moment, but those moments only work when there's some kind of overarching plotline for the old mentor character to have always known about from the start, ala Back to the Future. Besides, the retroactive fact that Oak used the same type of pokeballs they used in 19th century Japan is funny.

One Save File per Game: I'm sure this was a technical limitation of the original Gameboy cartridge, and that's fine, but there's no reason for it to still exist lol.
PokeSins
Elemental Monkeys
Funko Pops: I don't understand the appeal of these things at all. They're just so ugly, and there's an entire store by me that sells nothing but funko pops, it's baffling. I'll admit that some pokemon look better in funco pop form than human characters, like Pikachu and Lucario, but it's still something I want none of.
