I think that the gen 8 starters r way too underrated and the gen 6 starters r way too overrated also ice type is better than bug and flygon is super annoying In sword and shield and its honestly stupid how op it is yet no matter how low it gets or how many times I reset battle for a quick ball throw or just throw like 700 uktra balls at it it won't be caught

    Yes to Gen 8 starters

    Only Greninja to 6

    I don't know about the rest...

    My (kinda) hot take is that Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the best title since Gen 5

    Not sure I have a hot take right now. Only thing that comes to mind is poking the hornet nest that is shipping by saying that Serena may have kissed Ash but Ash is still 10 and Oblivious. Your Amourshipping dreams will never become canon. Heck Liko might date someone before Ash grows a year older.

    PS: I still think Serena is number 1 btw(Japan does too as of the latest poll I saw... Granted it was years ago).

    I didn’t like Sword and Shield but the starters were actually really good, no complaints there. Gen 6 has my favorite starters of all time but I know not everyone likes them. I’m actually not a huge Greninja fan myself but I like its design, I personally like Delphox a lot more though. Ice types are one of my favorites too, although I do like bug types a lot as well. I like the lesser used types, there’s a lot of cool Pokémon that belong to them most players overlook because of their typing.

    Oh yeah it's up there, maybe not the best title but one of the best.

    I think it could be the template of a fantastic Pokémon game. But the whole game feels unfinished. It looks and plays like a decent late-alpha build, not a product ready for market. The controls even change when you ride a Pokémon.

    certainly a hot take: kingambit ruined the bisharp line

    I don't think Liko needs a partner but we'll see where it goes because Pokémon is doing a lot of different things for them

    Also, it'll always Misty x Ash for me
