Korrina: I like her design, but not much else to say. I'm imagining she'll probably be like all the other 2D women the franchise has. She is pretty cute, though. Bunnelby: I'm going to name mine Bugs. That's all I can think of when I see this thing. Although, Bulbapedia's description on it's origin makes it somewhat more interesting:
NO WAI. Skiddo: It's alright. It does look like a Gogoat prevolution, but considering I never had much opinion on Gogoat itself... Orotto: There's something about this thing that makes me really like it. It looks like a tree from some surrealist painting. Dedenne: As far as Electric Mice go, Dedenne's pretty cool. Not as good as Pachirisu or the original Pikachu, though. Nevertheless, it outclasses Emolga and Minun/Plusle. Mega-Kangashkan: It's nice that Kang is getting some love for once. I figured it was going to fall into the abyss. Parental Bond: A lot of Pokes in Hackmons is going to have this, that's all I gotta say. Cheek Pouch: I actually really like the concept of this ability, but I kinda doubt that it will see much use. MegaMawile:
MegaBlaziken: The original Blaziken is better, IMO, but probably my fave out of the Mega-Evos. MegaAbsol: Personally, I prefer the original, but this is cool. MegaLucario: I never particularly had much opinion on Lucario, |

What's that supposed to mean? I am prepared to fight you over your tastes in 2D women.
Pachirisu & Pikachu a s***. Dedenne & Raichu are the only worthwhile Pikaclones, unless you count Azurill as one, which I do not. |

Seconded, though I'd hold off on the new guy until we've got I will say on Emolga though, as someone who has a lv 100 one (don't ask, it's typing fit for the team I was training against the E4), I will say that it's far from the greatest, but actually not too bad either. |

I'll never understand why someone would use a Pokemon they didn't particularly like just because it has a typing that they could use for battling the E4. |

I meant it as in 2D in terms of character. 2D in dimensions is fine with me. Anyway, it's just because most women in Pkmn, with a few exceptions like Cynthia and Clair, are all kinda the same; kinda meek and obnoxiously/overtly friendly. Some of the guys are like that, too, but it just seems like they have a little more variation. That's not to say any of the guys are really deep characters, since, to date, the only character with any respectable depth is N. Barring PMD-Explorers of Time & Darkness, cause that game is just... weird. Not bad weird, it's just... I don't know how they decided to make such an oddball Pkmn game. By "Pikachu" I actually meant the "Pikachu line", as, I agree, Raichu is probably the best in terms of design. Pikachu is just notable because it's the original. I like Pachirisu because it's blue and white, and is distinctly more squirrel-like, while almost all the other pikaclonhes are yellow and black and seem more mouse-like (even Emolga; I know it's supposed to be a flying squirrel, but it still looks more like a mouse, to me. A mouse with some horrible variation of Sirenomelia). So Pachirisu at least stands out in that respect, even though it absolutely sucks in every other way imaginable. |

@CW: Now, I didn't say I didn't particularly like it. I've always liked the flying squirrel thing it had going for it, just not it's capabilities in battle. Sort of like pre-Fairy Mawile, except with Emolga I ended up having a reason to use it. |

@BF1: Oh, Clair gets to be a multifaceted character, while the best & most interesting gym leader in the entire series isn't mentioned? There will be war. You, me, Showdown OU, whatever settings it is that hide your teams. Today. @BF2: Well that's because the other 3/4 aren't mice. Plusle/Minun(/Azurill) are rabbits, & Dedenne is a gerbil. Not to mention that none of them are yellow & black at all except Pikachu, Pichu, & Emolga. @DF1: See, if you hadn't said "don't ask", I would've just assumed "oh DF likes the dumb sky squirrel. Good for him" & we could've avoided this conversation. @DF2: There's reason to use Mawile pre-Gen6. Not competitively or anything, but in-game, Hyper Cutter+Swords Dance is always great. Not that the one I'm training was bred to have Swords Dance, but I digress. |

There's an interesting Gym Leader? When did this happen? I actually just sent you a PM challenging you a few seconds before reading this. *is officially freaked out* Plusle and Minun... are rabbits? Oh gawd. I didn't understand those things at all. Also, I wasn't really considering the Azurill line Pikaclones. If they were, they'd be the best, by far. I guess Dedenne is a gerbil, isn't it? Huh. And I was counting Minun and Plusle in the yellow and black group because they have yellow on them, at the least. No black, though, I guess. You've got me there. Yeah, Mawile's alright ingame. I've never really used it much, though, since they also have Aron in that one cave in Dewford, and, while I really like Mawile, nothing can touch Aggron. But, now with the Fairy typing, I'm looking forward to a chance to use it more. The only thing I worry about is... are there going to be any physical Fairy-type moves? I have a hard time imagining any. The only name for a physical-sounding move that sounds Fairy-ey that I could think of was "Sparkle Sword". |

1: Hell yes there is. Maylene is a fairly new gym leader, she isn't very confident, & her father has a gambling problem. Despite this, not only is she herself incredibly bad-arse, she ties with Juan for the 2nd highest-leveled team of any Gym Leader, only below Blue's rematch in HGSS. 2: I saw that. 3: Fennekin has Glow Punch, which most people have come to the consensus on that it is a physical Fairy move. I'm sure there'll be roughly the same amount of each of the two offensive categories, with some status moves as well, of course. EDIT: FFFFFFFFF You taunt me with your promises of battle, then sudden absence

My PC lagged the hell out. I had to restart. PS wasn't even loading. Huh. Wow. I don't remember thinking much of Maylene on my Pearl playthrough, but reading about her, she does seem pretty bad-arse. I will agree with you that she is the most epic Gym Leader. Yes, I suppose there are a few good female characters. But, nevertheless, I still feel that too many fall into the personality group I mentioned before. I suppose Korrina may go Maylene's way and may be different. |

Well that's part of the problem. You were playing Pearl. I did the same thing, but when I sold Pearl & bought Platinum, in which she walks through the snowy routes up to Candice's crappy city whose name I forget just because why not, & where her aforementioned level 66 team is. I'm actually not a big fan of Korrina, which is why I hope she's not Fighting type. I want a chance to get a really bad-arse Fighting trainer in the same vein as Maylene instead. |

"Candice's crappy city"? What are you talking about? Snowpoint's like, literally the only town with a good theme in the whole Pkmn universe. Oh, alright then. That makes sense. I'll have to take a closer look at her, then. And, yeah, I'd like a badass Fighting-type specialist, too, but it seems kinda unlikely to me that Korrina could be anything but Fighting. Maybe Steel, I guess. BTW, I'm on PS. |

I don't know. Every city except Snowpoint annoys the heck out of me. Except for Opelucid and Dewford, they're alright. Oh, and Lavender Town. That's actually probably the best. I just never think of it as a town theme, for some reason. But you have to admit this remix of Snowpoint is epic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqurLVA7hEk |

Snowpoint is the one city that actually annoys me, what with all the snow. Opelucid is awesome, in both iterations. There's a few others that're notable, but really that was my one major example. |
