50 Interesting Pokémon Changes

[@HarmandeepSingh-fy5zt]

Dragon being special and ghost being physical is the weirdest thing i have seen in Pokemon. Especially since almost all dragon types were physical attackers and ghosts were special

[@IgnitedQuils]

Also Flygon being the only fully evolved Dragon type introduced in Gen 3 to not get a mega evolution

[@doopness785]

I always thought that the reason was that none of the Notable trainer had Flygon as there Ace. Really disappointed because Flygon definitely deserved a Mega more than Garchomp or Metagross

[@blakdeth]

Gastrodon being intended for gen 3 makes a lot of sense. Lots of gen 3 pokemon come in pairs. Ninjask/shedinja, dustox/beautifly, lunatone/solrock, plusle/minun. Probably had to do with double battles being introduced I would imagine.

[@velvetbutterfly]

They also have a lot of pairs just to encourage trading. Nidoran & Nidoran, Pincer & Scyther, Hitmonlee & Hitmonchan, Every Box Legendary

[@IgnitedQuils]

Generation 3 was a large example of counterparts and doubles, so it could have fit in due to Storm Drain negating any water attacks at it or its ally in doubles

[@blakdeth]

@@velvetbutterfly gen 3 seems to go beyond just trading counterparts though. If you look at pokemon pairs that are just thematic connections, gen 1 has the nidorans, the hitmons, and maybe the fossils if those count. But gen 3 has the ones I listed, but also volbeat/Illumise, gorebyss/huntail, latias/latios, then maybe the fossils and also maybe zangoose/seviper for being enemies.

[@BittersweetButter.]

But shellos doesn't have different forms like wurmple evolving to either cascoon or silcoon. Shellos evolves into gastrodon from the west side, (if pink) or the east side (if blue) so I can see why gastrodon got changed into gen 4

That's actually such a cool theory

[@IgnitedQuils]

In response to these… - Flareon is an example of Pokemon with a Pokémon whose movepool doesn’t fit its attacking stats. Entei was an example of this until it slowly got more options. - Raichu should have gotten the boost with the Light Ball IMO since it’s the evolved form, not only Pikachu. - Chandelure’s HA was never released, similar to Serperior’s HA and the Legendary Beasts (Water Absorb, Volt Absorb and Flash Fire). Could have changed the meta in Gen 5. - I didn’t like how Darkrai got a nerf with the accuracy of Dark Void. It only being exclusive to it was reasonable but still… Good that PLA returned the original accuracy though. - Crits in Gen 1 being dominant made Razor Leaf, a rather weak looking move, be pretty strong. - Speaking of different designs, some Pokémon used to have different number of digits. Ursaring and Mr. Mime used to have 4 fingers in earlier sprites/artwork. - Tracey is pretty hated from what I heard, as it felt forced for him to be in the anime. - GS being the original last games make sense due to how the story was structured.

The weird thing about Koffing's sprite is that in the original Red/Green versions it had the skull symbol below the face, but in the Japanese Blue version (which is the basis of the internationally released Red/Blue versions) the sprite was changed to have the symbol above the face. All Pokémon sprites received an update in Blue, but these updates were usually intended to bring them more in line with their appearance in promotional art and the anime, so Koffing's sprite being changed to make it look less like every other depiction of it is very strange.

[@animateddoglover4391]

That Lapras fact is adorable, I love that.

[@velvetbutterfly]

Actually, all games were intended to be the last from gen 1-5, it was only 6 onwards where they realized the franchise simply would not end This is why gen3 remade the original games to be a definitive experience Why gen4 let a lot of old mons evolve to fill our the dex Why gen5 was a soft reboot of the franchise

[@PokeHokage]

I can see up to gen 4 being like that as gen 3 had a big decline. But by gen 5 they knew it would never die. The reboot was likely more so because they knew it was going to go on for a long time and wanted a fresh start

[@velvetbutterfly]

@@PokeHokage 5's drastic tonal shift which was immediately discarded could also be seen a send-off to all the players that grew up with the series

[@thatsprettyfarfetchd9888]

Source? I don't believe this to be the case. The reason Gen 3 remade the games is because you couldn't transfer Pokémon from Gens 1 & 2, making many of them unobtainable without the remakes. Gen 4's old evolutions could have been to being a sense of familiarity to old fans(this is just speculation), but Gen 5 being a soft reboot sets the stage for future generations rather than being a reason for closing off the series as a whole.

[@raqeebahmed1452]

chandelure never actually got shadow tag in gen 5 so it was never a scary threat specifically for shadow tag it only had the hidden ability but was never released

[@IgnitedQuils]

Yeah the same thing happened with Serperior and the Legendary beasts, it could have made them more imposing imo (not that Raikou and Suicune were bad in Gen 5)

@@IgnitedQuils for what it's worth, Serperioir got their hidden ability released, and it was unchanged. So in the "what could've been", Chandelure never was, but Serperior eventually became.

Focus energy actually had some niche use in gen1, as crits ignored all stat changes. Focus energy could be used to make sure you wouldn't crit, as a boosted regular hit could be superior to a crit

[@BJGvideos]

I can't wrap my head around how the inclusion of a slot machine where you don't use REAL money somehow boosts the rating up almost 10 years. If there was actual real world currency then I could see that but there isn't. And why take them out entirely? Game Corner is the perfect place to put old minigames as an arcade! Take the stuff from Stadium and Pokémon Mini and put them in there as arcade games. It can be a way to fix the busted friendship mechanic, giving you a chance to bond with your team by using them in the games.

[@arshianhassan395]

Now though mega garchomp is actually quite good in the mat dex format due to it getting scale shot. Hence the speed issue is fixed and you can make use of the higher attack and bulk mega chomp provides. Even special moves are viable since it has 120 special attack. Some may say life orb chomp outdamages its mega which is true but regular chomp usually prefers other items like leftovers anyways. Also life orb chips adds up which is cruicial considering nat dex has a lot of priority. Not saying any form is better than the other but the point is mega chomp isnt strictly outclassed by regular chomp anymore.

[@ekos8282]

[@hoodedsckater9159]

I mean sleep and freeze are the same thing the inflected person can't attack for a few turns so so i can't understand why people think that oneout of the two is really annoying then the other

[@lassestvring3427]

I think people hate freeze more because while Sleep is turn based, meaning you have a set limit of how many turns you stay asleep, Freeze is percentage based, so if luck really isn't on your side and you don't have any fire moves or scald, you can stay locked in place, unable to do anything for much longer. Another thing to consider is that Freeze, to my knowledge, can only be applied by damaging moves, meaning you could kind of see it as insult to injury. You take damage and suddenly aren't able to do anything as well. On the other hand sleep can almost only be induced through status attacks where most have a not insignificant risk of missing, meaning your opponent might basically waste their turn, whereas with freeze is more like an added bonus

[@robertlupa8273]

@@lassestvring3427 Compared to Freeze, which is only caused by damaging moves, the only Sleep-inducing damaging moves are Relic Song (Meloetta's signature move), G-Max Befuddle (G-Max Butterfree's signature move) and Secret Power (only in long grass [Gen 3], tall grass [Gen 4+] and on Grassy Terrain).
