    Hidden Machines

    I think that the Ride Pager was a great alternative to HMs. You felt way more connected to the Pokémon that way rather than them just being a tool. Plus you got to be baby-cradled by a Machamp! But, when you remove HMs, What do you do with the moves that used to be HMs? Sun and Moon had an...

    Entertainment Nuzlockes

    As you probably know, Nuzlockes are a self-imposed challenge in Pokémon games with two main rules: You can only catch the first encounter in each area, and if a Pokémon faints, it's considered dead, and can't be used for the remainder of the run. Do you like Nuzlockes? What Nuzlockes have you...

    Actually it was Fusion Generations that got cancelled, not Infinite Fusion. Evoas is still going strong!

    LEAST Favorite Features - Main Games and Fan Games

    Boy, do I have some good news to you! While I usually didn't have a problem with HMs, sometimes they could really get annoying. Forcing you to have useless ones like Flash or Whirlpool (especially for just one use), HMs not being distributed widely enough (still haven't finished Gold because I...

    Completed Pokémon Gaia Version

    I finished this game last night, and I have to say, you did a really great job with it! The mapping is great, the new graphics look great while still looking like something from FRLG, the story seems intriguing so far, and I love the Pokémon selection! The difficulty was mostly well managed...

    If it's not too late, I'm ready with my entry! Elmigna A breeding study gone horribly wrong led to this Legendary Pokémon's birth. While studying the mechanism behind Pokémon Eggs, a Professor in the Johto Region used a device obtained from a faraway region known as the DNA Splicers to merge 18...

    Released Pokémon Spodumene

    I like what you're doing with the Gen 2 style, and the plot with Shiny Pokémon sounds very interesting. I notice your characters are very... grounded in reality? I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing. Like, they seem more like characters you'd find in real life than in a Pokémon game. The...

    Theories Behind Pokemon Weaknesses

    I'll fill in a couple: Fire beats Bug: Bugs are really flammable I guess, especially since they spend so much time in forests and trees. Flying beats Bug: Bugs' main predators are usually birds. Rock beats Bug: You can squish a bug by dropping a rock on it. Fairy beats Dark: Evil forces are...

    References and Memes in Fan Games

    Yeah you can. "Pokémon Meat" :P (I liked the old emojis better) It's like the difference between South Park and Family Guy. South Park uses their crassness and references to highlight their humor, while Family Guy uses it as its only source of humor.

    One Off Mechanics

    I liked the Rock Climbing mechanic from Cyllage City Gym, and looking back it would've been really cool to incorporate that into a Rock Climb Poké Ride. It could give some depth to mountainous routes or the Rock Climb HM from Gen 4, which I really liked actually. Maybe in Sinnoh remakes they...

    References and Memes in Fan Games

    Fun fact, the official games had memes in them too! I'm sure everyone remembers how some of the Psychics in X/Y had references like "my body is ready" and "over 9000", and in Gen 4, there were a lot of references in the dialogue (I'm sure you could find a list somewhere). But these memes fit...

    Shiny Pokémon

    The shiny rate in Pokémon has only gone lower with time. As of now, it's around 1/4000 in the official games. Being that it takes so long to find a shiny in official games, is this rate appropriate for fangames, or should it be lowered? Many games, like Spectrum or Reborn, have boosted shiny...

    The Ups and Downs of New Types

    You don't really need new types. Telling you from experience, it's really hard to balance all 18 types in a Pokèdex. I can't imagine having to add a 19th or even a 20th. There's only so many Dex spaces, and making sure there's enough of each type is already hard enough. If you really think you...

    Starters

    This opens up a whole new discussion- how will you make the unchosen starters available? As far as I know, there are a lot of options for this: Have the base stage available for trade with your rival (like Shauna in XY) Have the rivals give eggs of the unchosen starters (for some reason I...
