Quick Questions

1. What is the point of Baby Pokemon? They can't just be there to extend the evo tree. I'd like to know...

2. Why is Gyarados now Water/Flying? Shouldn't he be Water/Dragon instead?

3. Why is a Light type such a bad idea? You don't have to go all religious to come up with Pokemon for that type, you know.

4. Is it possible to re-use a legendary from a prev-gen as a main one for the next gen?
 
1.I agree with you with the baby pokemon thing but I think some of them are useful. Like to get Encore on a Wobbuffet you need Wynaut to learn it.

2.Lol. Gyarados has always been Water/Flying...:/

3.I think Dark and Steel were made cause in the First Gen nothing could resist Physic so Mewtwo + Amnesia was unstoppable back then.. So a Light type would fit.

4. No
 
Vyksta will kill you if you say that why isnt Gyarados a water/flying type....it has been explained 100000001 TIMES!!!!!!!!

They are there to waste space and look cute.

They should, IMO, but they wont.
 
1. Baby pokemon were a way of introducing breeding into pokemon.

2. Gyarados has always been Water/Flying. For further information regarding this question, PM Vycksta.

3. Because it would mean ore programming into the game, more game mechanincs to contend with, and generally confuse people.

4.Yes, but GF are much more likely to create new ones.

They also add new moves like charm Blissey (from Happini). Of course they could always just readd it to the pokemon but where's the fun in that.
2. Why is Gyarados now Water/Flying? Shouldn't he be Water/Dragon instead?
Always been water/flying. It's based off the legend of a carp climbing up a waterfall and being turned into a flying water serpent.
3. Why is a Light type such a bad idea? You don't have to go all religious to come up with Pokemon for that type, you know.
It's not that it's religious, it is a problem because the psychic, electric, and fire types all cover and possible representation of what anyone could deam a "light type". Also it has no fit in anywhere (especially seeing as Dark type is not dark as in lacking light but dark as in malevalent/evil/scary). Even adding the Dark type I think was a bit too much seeing as ghost types can cover alot of the same Ideas but there was a major need to cover the type chart that was left unchecked in the 1st gen.
4. Is it possible to re-use a legendary from a prev-gen as a main one for the next gen?

Why would one be reused to be a main legendary? Some legendaries get reused to tie in with new legendaries, i.e. the birds with Lugia and the regis with regigigas, but beyond that I see no point in it.
 
They won't make a light type because we don't need it. If by light you mean actual luminescence, we already have two types that are all over that: Steel and Electric. Many electric types are based on electricity's function as a source of light i.e. Luxray and Ampharos. Almost all special-based Steel attacks are based on Steel's reflective qualities i.e. Mirror Shot and Flash Cannon. Plus a zillion other random attacks from other types use light, such as Flash, Luster Purge, all the beam attacks (technically anyway), Light Screen, Sunny Day, Solar Beam, Reflect, etc. So what, we have to make all those attacks light type attacks and make a bunch of Psychic, Grass, Electric, and Fire types Light types as well (or instead)? Plus give a bunch of pokemon new weaknesses resistances that will probably screw them over competitively?
Its one thing to add types that specifically balance out one type that was overpowered in the beginning, and make one or two pokemon and moves that new type, but the Light type would take what little coating of logic pokemon has and throw it out the window.
 
Your fourth idea could be cool if they made an Orange Island game with Lugia and the legendary birds trio.. Happy now?

Off topic: How do I quote?
 
1. What is the point of Baby Pokemon? They can't just be there to extend the evo tree. I'd like to know...

-To fill space; breeding purposes; Pokedex.

2. Why is Gyarados now Water/Flying? Shouldn't he be Water/Dragon instead?

-It has ALWAYS been Water/Flying. For an in-depth story, PM Vycksta.

3. Why is a Light type such a bad idea? You don't have to go all religious to come up with Pokemon for that type, you know.

-It's not a bad idea. People are just sick and tired of hearing about it.

4. Is it possible to re-use a legendary from a prev-gen as a main one for the next gen?

I don't understand this question.
 
1. they exsist to enjoy pain

2. i agree, but that might be because i usually use a fire fighting starter so water flyings are very annoying.

3. a lot of people say that light could be summed up with electrick and steel but why couldnt we make some of the electric and steel types into light types. and we could also include slightly religeos pokemon or pokemon that look reverant like slowbro or xatu.

4. if we use old legendaries as main pokemon then there would be a lot more over powerful wild pokemon, i mean imagine walking through long grass and findong a mewtwo at the same level as the pokemon your training! bad idea!
plus their rarity vaishes and that is what makes them so desireable!
 
1. its called breeding

2. gyarados is from the legendary story (about the carp PM vycksta for more......)

3.light=god, god=religion

4. no. just no. just plain old no
