Pokémon that feel like they're from a different generation
There are a few Pokémon out there that feel like they come from a different generation than they actually do. Like, Slugma is a gen 2 Pokémon, but because you could only get it in Kanto in gen 2 and it's very common in Hoenn, it feels more like a gen 3 Pokémon. Are there any others that feel this way to you? My pick for…

Something that made you like a specific Pokémon more
Basically, share anything that caused you to start liking a Pokémon that you previously didn't care about much. I'll start: * The last time I replayed Pokémon Red, Fearow was one of my team's heavy hitters, and I remember it fondly for that. It has good stats for how early in the game you can get it, and picks up a Flying…

It's resisted by very common types in Dark and Steel, and although hitting Poison is good, Fairy covers Fighting just as well and is otherwise better, both offensively and defensively. Psychics do…

What Pokémon would you change the name of?
Are there any Pokémon whose names you don't like, or you feel you have a more fitting one? My pick for this would be Wobbuffet. Its English name fits well with its theme as a living punching bag, since it wobbles around when hit and buffets the foe back, but doesn't translate the pun of its original Japanese name, which…

You can make one change to the type chart. What do you change?
As in, change the effectiveness of one type against another, offensively or defensively. I think the change I'd make would be to make Rock resist Ghost, removing this from Purifying Salt and extending it to all Rock-types. Thematically, salt and crystals were used in the past to ward off evil spirits. Practically, Rock has…
