Kotaku posted an article titled "10 ways to Make Pokemon Super awesome" or something like that.
In it, they suggest adding a Gym Leader element where you become a Gym Leader and...sit there and wait for challengers, and sometimes fight people? I don't know.
They also propose getting rid of EVs and IVs altogether. I guess there's too much variety in Pokemon for Kotaku, and they want every Pokemon of the same species to have the exact same stats....
Wait, this sounds pretty horrible.
It gets worse.
The writer of the article goes on to advocate for removing breeding, complaining about "scarcity" or some such and that throwing off the "trade community" rarity and "value" of Pokemon.
And then they go on to say "too much story" , even though Pokemon (and a LOT of video games) have fairly paper thin plots as it is...
Oh, and the writer wants a co-op...because Pokemon is really, really hard, guys.
what?
And then they want some super awesome reward for "Catching them all", even though that's never been a main goal of an actual Pokemon game since the beginning of time.
The only non-horrible suggestion is a customasizeable trainer sprite. But considering how small your trainer sprite is for most of the game, it'd barely be noticeable.
So discuss the following:

So discuss the following:
- This sounds horrible, right?
- Do you think this guy has ever played a Pokemon game, ever?
- Really, has he ever actually played a Pokemon game?
