Rentals are fun if you're bored and want to just have some fun. :)

Rentals are fun, especially if you don't have the time/don't want to raise a whole team of Pokemon, and you can pretty well rent any Pokemon you wish to use, and it allows you to try Pokemon you have little experience with without having to raise the species, which would be handy if the Pokemon turned out to be bad for you.

So I'm glad rentals are coming back, hands down.

Uh, okay, what's with the completly random starter poll? And I love rentals more than anyone on this entire forum! I don't care if you disagree because that just makes you wrong!! (oh, and I picked the 2nd gen starters. I love Cyndaquil, and Totodile's cool as well)
 
I'm completely aware that my poll has nothing to do with the actual thread. I was just looking for somewhere to put it. Anyhoo, RENTALS ROCK!!!!!!!!!
 
I hate rentals, the actually good pokemon have horrible movesets.


It was better off as a shadow game!

um, and stuff
I'm glad rentals are back, my friend wants to be able to choose their moves because he does not think that moves like Sword Dance are good, but I beat him every time with my XD team who uses stuff like that.
 
NO! I hate rentals, in Stadium they had the absolute worse movesets, I prefer Pokemon I've raised myself

I like Rentals, but they were a little broken in the stadium games.

It's like this:

A Cool Little Abra would get Psychic, Fire Punch, etc

A Freaky Kadabra would recieve Confusion (Ugh), Kinesis, etc.

An Awesome Alakazam would recieve Future Sight (ARGH) and some other moves.

Basically, the lesser powered Pokemon like Squirtle and Abra would get Hydro Pump and Psychic

The More Powerful Pokemon would get Water Gun and Psywave

If they fix this, it'd be awesome!

I love rentals!! Im glad there back.
 
I like rentals ok and it is somewhat annoying that Blastoise gets water gun while Squirtle get Skull Bash and Hydro Pump. But I usually just stick to middle of the evoloution like Charmeleon and Wartortle.

Wobuffett and Wynaut will still be the kings of rentals. They always have the same moveset and they're so easy to use... that's why every FAQ I read about how to beat Stadium 2 with rentals involved having Wobuffett on your team.

Rentals are awesome. You can now really test your skills by using bad Pokemon. Rentals= more Stadium= pwnage.
I was getting so sick of the 'capture Shadow Pokemon' idea. Getting the Rentals back is a fresh new thing after a while.
