How about a peacock Pokemon? Or some other extravagant bird. The males will look really crazy, and the females will be normal-looking.

That sounds pretty cool.

Ho-oh looks sorta like a peacock. In a way.

Needs more prehistoric fossil Pokemon.

Needs more Poison moves.

Needs more Eevee supertypes:
* Dragon
* Steel
* Rock/Earth
* Bug
* Fighting
* Flying

Steel type Eevee must be called 'Steevee'.

Lawl, Steevee.... that's awesome XD

I kinda think there needs to be more ghost types... I remember being POed that ghosts in the first games were ghost/poison and therefore weak to psychic, and now it's like.... they have more, but it's still too few IMO. They also need to have a few more ghost moves... It just seems like a really underappreciated type.

I agree. My vote is on some sort of ghost-spider thing, because pokemon seems to have a lot of beetles and butterflies but no spiders. Unless there are some that I am forgetting.

Anyway, I was thinking. Sorry if this has been discussed already, but what if in the next game, they would have some bosses that weren't catchable pokemon? That way they could make really tough bosses without having to make them easy enough to catch or restricting themselves to an existing pokemon's move set and stats. It is an idea that would be easy to mess up, though.

Spinarak and its evolution are spiders.

So in other words, a trainer with one high-level pokemon.

I know that's not what you intended, but thats what it essentially is!

I forgot that there isn't a 'Poison' or 'Ghost' Eevee supertype either.

On the uncatchable Pokemon bosses thing - nah, I'd rather be able to catch 'em all.

Plus the size of the Pokemon isn't an issue (Wailord fits into the same space as every other Pokemon).

Sorry, I've only seen its evolved form, and I thought it looked more like a beetle. I can tell it's obviously a spider now that I saw its original form. I was actually thinking more along the lines of a tarantula type-thing.

You guys are probably right about the boss thing. Having non-pokemon/non-catchable bosses just wouldn't fit in with the rest of the game.

There should be a fighting/flying Pokemon.

I draw Pokemon sometimes.
My favorite is one a made up in 4th grade.
It was a Fire starter with a tiki theme.
If I find it I'll try to post it.

Why do we have this topic AND the Taiho boards?

Zink · **Posted:** Sat Apr 11, 2009 7:49 am

I just thought of something. You know how on the GTS people think that trading a Bidoof for a Deoxys is a balanced trade, and 90% of the people trading are looking for Celebi, Deoxys, Shaymin, etc.? If they are able to put down those pokemon as what they are looking for in a trade, wouldn't that mean that those pokemon are in their pokedex, and therefore means that, since they are only available at events, they already have them?

I've never been able to connect to GTS, so no.

Though I can imagine how much [sarcasm]FUN[/sarcasm] it is from what you've said.

In case I haven't given you a good enough idea, someone asking for a piplup/chimchar/turtwig is about as balanced a trade you are going to get. If you ever see someone asking for a regular pokemon (and aren't asking for a level 100 one) you should take advantage of it immediately, but don't bother telling anyone because no one will believe you.
