Well, well, well, I didn't know christmas came in september these days!
Yesterday sure was epic
So here's the obligatory coment on the new generation (which no one will read by now, but whatever):
- First of all: The dark dragons. BEST POKEMANZ EVAH!1!11 I'm forever in your debt gamefreak! (Too bad the spread wasn't better though, if the speed had been just a
little higher...)
- Over all, nice dex. Personally I'm surprised that I like so many of the new bug pokemon, that's usually one of my least favorite types, but now I'd like to stuff at least half my team full of them! Nice redemption. I really like that firemoth, I wonder when it'll be available? It's really late in the dex, but since it has a pre-evo it couldn't be legendary right? Very strange placement.
- Many of them looks very interesting competitively - like that ultra-fast clam, the fossil bird, Hihidurama, Ononokusu and that electric eel (or whatever) with no weaknesses.
- Personally, I wish that there were more water-types though. After doing a quick planning of my team on Pokemon Black, I realise that there are only 2 watertypes I can put on my team that I actually somewhat like (I'm picking tsutaja) - either swana or the fossil turtle. And that's before taking version exclusives into account. And while I do like swana, I would have preferred something a bit more interesting for a first playthough. So all in all - more water types would have been appreciated.
Overall though, very pleased with this gen. Preliminary team: Jaroda (tsutaja3), Zeburaika (shimama evo), Ononokusu, Urugamosu (firemoth), Kokoromori (the bat's evo- isn't he adorable^^) and Abagoora (turtle).
