Mega evolution is more interesting because the Pokémon gains a new form that they can use in any battle.

There were a lot of niché titles released on the DS and 3DS for a variety of franchises, and they have remained stuck there ever since. The gimmick for Ranger was the second touch screen. I think it would take a Nintendo console gaining a similar gimmick, or a new gimmick that could apply to the Ranger series, to see a new…

@Baulder However, Pokémon Let's Go is remake not remaster, thus certain changes to make the game more attractive to new generation of players are reasonable. It literally replaces the original game's mechanics with Pokémon Go mechanics and the story takes place after the original games. It is not a remake or remaster. It's…

Are you asking for another expansion? It's probably not going to happen. They are developing Z-A (and possibly gen 10) right now.

They should do this, but all the flashing lights and fanfare are a big part of reinforcing the Skinner box training. Opening packs has to be exciting. So they probably won't.

The Let's Go games are not a substitute for gen 1. The gameplay is completely different, and the story and characters also differ. It is entirely possible for the Game Boy and GBA games to be added to Switch Online at some point. They have already been shown to be compatible with the emulator, so it is just a case of Game…

They definitely need to reintroduce the anime forum. The game forum could come back too, but I think the Pokémon Square board is largely suitable for that purpose. It is primarily a game franchise after all. If we put the games somewhere else, what is even left to discuss in the Pokémon Square? Merchandise?

I suppose in some way it makes sense for robots to have a formulaic naming convention. As if they were all different models from the same production line. The "prehistoric" Pokémon have a lot more variety in their names, but I am not too keen on them either. Perhaps it is deliberate, new Pokémon only observed and named by…

Pokémon villains tend to be very predictable, and even when they try to be subtle or make it a twist, it tends to be so heavily telegraphed if you know Pokémon, or even common media tropes, that it becomes obvious. Part of the reason is that Pokémon villains often lead large organisations or businesses, so that they have…
