Random Implications: February 2010

Yes they do exist.

So it has been confirmed the 5th generation of pokemon will be coming out. The next movie will show one of the next pokemon. Here are some thoughts on what I hope the next generation will have...

More fire type pokemon, as other have complained about, the amount of new fire types was... disappointing. We're going to need more fire types besides just the starter evolutionary line. I find a lot of good pokemon to train are weak to ice types and I need a reliable counter to them.

Less nonconpetitive pokemon. Imo they're just a waste of space and data in the games. Even though I'm a casual player, it's disheartening to see a new pokemon added when I can't really use it. Idc how cute pachirisu, waste of time to train that thing. I don't mind several basic pokemon because we can't get the strong ones right off the bat but single stage pokemon are just a waste of time. Maybe throw in one random thing(I'm looking at you Spinda...) but please don't overload it.

More access to tms! I've always stored them in my pack, never to be used. With emerald I've been duplicating them but I'm restricted to the first 50 tms and even then I don't have all of them. HeartGold/SoulSilver apparently has some lottery thing for the exotic tms. Hopefully this is continued. I'm doubting more tms will be added but make it easier with the ones we have.

Need a new physical ground attack. Don't get me wrong, earthquake is... awesome but I like double battles and earthquake is just like shooting myself in the foot. Maybe an additional effect would be nice. Possibly something like 95 basepower, 95 acc, 10% chance of flinch, and
15 pp. Also no physical contact, it's troublesome. I suppose I'd be willing to drop the pp by 5 if giving it flinch is too much though I'd like to have all of these traits. Of course it won't be able to hit underground pokemon. Maybe we could call it Dust Rend.

I'd like another physical water attack. So far we pretty much have Aqua Tail, Waterfall, and Aqua Jet for physical attackers like Gyarados. I was thinking a variant of slash, same base power, accuracy, and pp. That way we have to choose from flinch, higher base power, higher crit rate, or priority attacking.

More hold items for battle. We commonly see the same choice items used over and over again. It makes mixed attackers like nidoking not viable. Some thoughts:
*Something that raises the base power of attacks that don't get STAB bonus by 10-20 with a base power of less than 100. That way pokemon can use other attacks without much penalty to them.
*Something that increase the chance of additional effects by 50%. That way a 20% flinch becomes a 30% flinch. Won't stack with serene grace. I'd believe that would diversify movesets.
*Something that raises the priority of support/defensive attacks by 1. That way some pokemon gets a chance to save itself before getting cut down.
*another leftovers item to give healing per turn without violating the item clause. Maybe silver shovel that gives hp to steel type pokemon everyturn but causes damage if the holder is not steel type.
*Another item to boost the attack power of moves. Since we have 20/30/50% boosters, maybe a 40% booster that only works on moves with a base power of 100 or higher. That way you can only use strong attacks with low pp for the power boost but does not cripple the pokemon to only do one more.

Type combinations I'd like to see put into the game and/or more single typed pokemon
steel/ghost
bug/fire
dark/water
ground/ice
electric/flying
steel/electric
steel
psychic/poison
Fire

Monocolor teams have become popular and I'd like more diversity in the green color pokemon. Perhaps make one of the new fire pokemon in the green section? It technically doesn't not have to be green just be considered green in the pokedex. That would be awesome.

That's pretty much it for my requests. I may come up with more stuff later. There was no point to this blog other than me just raising my blog count.
