Lickilicky is awesome because he is the only normal type pokémon who can learn Explosion.

Really?

Yeah, but Explosion isn't good anymore.

It used to secretly lower your opponent's Defense by half, which effectively raised its base power to 400 - but now it's just 250 I believe.

Before Gen V the power was actually 500, now that's 250.

3. Did you really diss the Gen IV new evolutions? That means you believe that awesome Pokemon like Yanmega, Gliscor, Electivire, Magmortar, Mamoswine, and my personal favorite Weavile look stupid?

That's pretty harsh man. Real harsh.

Mamoswine is actually cool, like Gliscor. Weavile, I'm kind of indifferent about, as I am with Yanmega. I'm bitter about Electivire, since Electabuzz is my favorite and I just find his evolved form really ugly. Magmortar, though, takes the cake with looking both ugly and stupid.

In my opinion.
 
Looks aren't everything in Pokemon

I GET THAT, that's the point I was trying to make! I KNOW that they made the evolutions to make previously weak or mediocre Pokemon more useful in terms of competitive fans. I just never cared about Pokemon from a competitive standpoint and didn't really like the new evolutions (and pre-evoltions for that matter) they game some Pokemon.
 
So, if you're getting this, do you know what your team will be? Or are you just going to play and see what you end up with.
 
I ask, when are these Pokemon developers going to run out of ideas for names! How many are they up to know, like 600 different ones? It is eventually going to be impossible to complete the Pokedex without hacks. The more they invent, the less original the names and designs will become. And they keep making remakes to keeps out wallets cleaned out. And before we know it, there is a NEWER game that will hit the shelves. I think the general idea is getting a bit cliche.

I've been playing through one game from each gen for the last year or so, doing monotype runs and such. I'm still not sick of it, since each run is different from the last. Completing the Pokedex is more of a side goal though, not required.

I've played through Gen I & II about 5 times, Gen III only once and Gen IV & V twice.

And I've only completed one type out of the 17 monotype challenges I want to complete.

Needless to say, these games aren't very 'cliche' to me, IMO, these are the games with the most replay value.
