All good points, though I do think that Infernape was also helped by getting to defeat Paul and then skip out of Tobias's gentle mercies so he got to retire with a major victory; Greninja got afflicted with a bit of a "we spent all that time for this?" effect after the much-hyped form tripped at...
I recall the Piplup backlash was pretty intense during DP (I recall a few jokes that he was even more of an attention stealer than even Pikachu) but it seemed to have almost wholly vanished for a while at some point during the BW to mid XY phase where I wasn't aware of what was going on in the...
I used to be curious what was gonna happen when The Hobbit was in public domain but Lord of the Rings wasn't but now it seems we'll just get Bilbo as a serial killer, which isn't just stupid but also boring.
Water Gun Rhydon is certainly a blast from the past. Don't think it's been available without transferring since gen 1.
Also Nori just keeps running into these water problems; I suppose it being such a common type with enough advantages lot of non-water types would still like to have water moves...
Ambiguously romantic Espeon(M)+Umbreon(F)
No content disclaimers.

For the stevedores who worked at the Tinton Town port, it was just another work day.
For the creature that was currently hidden in a dark corner in the back of the cargo bay, it was a very important day.
The Umbreon...
Pokémon fight! Ready, go!
I won't try to make any predictions on the outcome.
Even though Nori isn't a traditional Pokémon protagonist trying to build a full team (at least) for some competitive purpose circumstances sure love getting him into battles with people who are.
Mew will always be my favourite. Partly because it's an adorable shapeshifting kitty, but also for the out of universe background mentioned above. Later ones just feel like trying to copy Mew with a "mandatory limited event Pokémon".
It's been a very long time, and I think a lot of it was on twitter (which is a pretty terrible place for digging up old posts), but I do actually remember that happening (the trip was just the grand prize rather than everyone, of course). I made a few references/jokes about it around that time...
Yeah, the Alola win generated lots of positive attention for the show--there was pretty much no way they'd undercut it like the Orange League or Battle Frontier.
I think it's a bit of a tricky question. EVs are a messy system that the game explains badly and can be difficult to "get right" since they like to make it hard to fix them, so in that regard it makes sense enemies don't use it.
If we had something like the Gen 1/2 or Legends system I'd think...
Depending on how you define something as "open world" you could argue they were pretty common for PC RPGs by the 90s, and there were a number on consoles around that time as well (though a lot of them were not localized). A lot of those didn't have a Z axis, though.
Yeah, personally DP were actually the first time I found myself actively annoyed by the writing due to the sudden uptick in meme-culture style comedy. The story itself was nothing special, either, even by video game standards, and came out not long after Mystery Dungeon gave us a Pokémon game...
When it rains, it pours. Louis and Mariku, Emi, Qwilfish problems, and at this rate probably negative media attention.
I think this was literally the first time Pachi has been anything other than The Best, though one can understand his reflexive defense, something a certain other cute...
Everything is judged off when it came out and what preceded it. In film, the effects of Ray Harryhuasen aren't as realistic as what we can do today but he's still well regarded because they were stunning for the time.
R/B/Y are very impressive for Gameboy RPGs, while Sw/Sh have less content and...
Plus there's already been Pokémon that are very similar to each other, so a "new Pokémon only" rule either means the dex drops even farther from the old days or GF has to pump out tons of low quality space filler mon.
Well, some people just don't work that way; I've personally never fallen in love with a Pokémon I'm only using because the one I actually wanted isn't available; necessity isn't going to make me suddenly like a design I found unappealing or the way it works in-game (there are some franchises...
