------------------------

In this thread, tell which pokemon would you like to be featured in the 4th gen PotW next. Which pokemon would you want to know the best movesets off? Which pokemon would you want to know their capabilities in the metagame?


Now, before you even start suggesting, there's only one rule that I really want to reiterate in this thread: NO COMPLAINING ABOUT THE POTW. Stated by Serebii a couple million times already in this thread, the selection for the POTW is completely random, except for a couple of Pokemon which have reserved dates (which is noted under Current POTW once they come by).

Knowing that, Serebii has said that all competitive Pokemon will have their own POTW in due time. To keep track of them all, I have compiled a list of all the Pokemon wherein a POTW will be made for (which can be edited later on by Serebii). The ones in strikes (like this) means that they have already been done. The ones which aren't in strikes means that they haven't been done yet.

[super-empoleon]

I have a feeling that one of the new evolutions to old pokemon will be up next. Most likely Gallade, Tangrowth, Electavire, etc. I kind of doubt that it will be Lickilicky, but thats just my opinion. I would really like to know some movesets for Gallade and Mamoswine. Also, I agree with Abomasnow as a good PotW. Very handy indeed.

 

[*Jean Grey*]

Gyarados, Milotic, Roserade, PorygonZ, Dragonite

 

[Serebii]

We're not going to just go and do all the popular Pokémon first you know

 

[Dramatic Melody]

^
I know. This thread was to know which ones they would want to see for battle purposes, not for popularity purposes.

It's merely a half-suggestion thread.

 

[nubinator]

A Bulky Water. Preferably Swampert or Milotic.

 

[DarkTyphlosion157]

Typhlosion will probably not be done for ages

 

[Dramatic Melody]

I forgot to put in my list: Alakazam, Ramparados and most of the 4th gen evos of 1st-3rd gen, preferably Gallade and Gliscor.

 

[R_N]

I'd love to see Gallade featured-I really want to use one, and would like to know some of the better moves, natures, and EV spreads.

 

[Zapdos560]

I'd like to see Weavile done. It was one of the first old Pokemon revealed to get a new evo, and the Physical/Special type switch-up really changes how it's played given the better moves available to it.

 

[scissorX]

I really want to see Staraptor, Lucario, Gallade, Alakazam and Scyther!

 

[Hey Micky!]

We're not going to just go and do all the popular Pokémon first you know

What Joe said, we've already got the next (5?*) Pokes planned in advance, but nonetheless, feel free to guess/wish away. It's intriguing for me to see your choices and especially intriguing to see if they coincide with those aforementioned plans (although they will not affect them in anyway).

*more than I can recall off of the top of my head

 

[Fenix]

Scizor.
But i know that he won't be done for now (aka ages) ;_;

guess?
-Electivire
-Lucario
-Cresselia
-Gallade
-Milotic

8 Not 5 and thats not including today's

 

[PKMN trainer Justin!]

Um, Regigigas? ;486;

It was more of a suggestion thread really, hoping to give the people who manage PotW ideas on who will be next.

But seeing as that is mentioned, I don't think there's a need for this thread, unless people like guessing who the next PotW is...

 

[Jade]

when you will go back to PotD since summer is starting again?

 

[Serebii]

No we wont. We only did that back in '04 because I was fat and had no life. Now I do have a life, we aint gonna do it. We only did it once

 

[Dramatic Melody]

^
So it will be kept as PotW, happening in Sundays, right?

Btw, I'm gonna put the pokemon featured in PotW in order on the first post, as long as this thread is still open.

 

[nubinator]

Milotic, Swampert, Vaporean.
