@randomspot555: Actually the Pokemon Company does take suggestions, just not from standard peeps often. It's like Halo: they ran with ideas a vast majority wanted. My friend at Nintendo knows the guy who suggested/made Draco Meteor. The way games stay so good as they progress through each installment is catering to their market.

They must've come up with a heck of a waiver. Game Freak would owe him a ton of royalties if they actually USED a fan's suggestion, otherwise known as a consulting fee. This is much different than focus group testing, which I'm sure most Nintendo properties do, where they ask a group what they think of X or Y idea or product.
It's cool you're going to be a game tester, but it's an extremely dull job. You're going to be finding bugs in the game. The former translator of the series, from Gen I until Platinum, only got to name like 4 Pokemon. That was his sphere of influence. TPCi has very little, if any, creative control over the games. They might've pushed for stuff like the no-gambling thing, but that's about it. It's interesting they're doing it all in-house, rather than hiring contractors. Must be a lot cheaper.
