I... Hnng... I... I... I want... A... pet... Arcanine...
I'm pretty sure we can all agree.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I would like to see Game Freak do a HARD BREAK eventually, because that'd allow them to do a lot of change ups like new base stats, altered evolution levels, etc. I didn't mind RS' because, well, back then I didn't really train any Pokemon that much so I didn't have anything important to lose.
If they do a HARD BREAK, it doesn't have to exactly be like RS though...they can have all the old Pokemon available in the game, some post-E4, instead of distributing them among the main series, remakes, and Colosseum, although I did like catching them across games as it seemed less grindy-boring than spending hours catching them all in one game, and it made it a bit easier since each game had a smaller amount to focus on. RS is the ONLY game I've ever completed the Regional Dex in, lol.

Don't we all want something to cuddle? Arcanine looks very fluffy and cuddly there.
As for Haxorus, though? Hmm...
All those things you want can be changed without a "hard break", it would be as easy as changing the moves a pokémon learns between games. If they don't do that is because they don't want, not because they can't.
You know those gifs that depict an exclamation to "Get out!" or of someone "getting out"?
Well, please imagine they were all simultaneously posted here.

Technically speaking the games since Gen 3 already alter the Pokemon "code" when transferring between gens, that's why you can't send them back. Learnsets, TMs, etc. are always changed each gen.
With that said, even with a hard reset, they didn't change the stat basis of Pokemon - that's why Flareon is still shit even with a hard reset.

I'd like these things. Ice just needs to resist more things. Water and Dragon would be nice, although I don't know WHY it would resist dragon. They can come up with something.
Poison is beyond help. Weak to earthquake, good against nothing worth using. I'm not sure how you'd fix this one.

Make it SE against both Fighting and Water.
See this makes sense, I dunno why it isn't. Especially fighting, you'd think poison would be strong against that.
ScraftyDevil, here's my battle video from Round 7 of the Oregon Regional last month. I thought you'd enjoy it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=198opronkcE&list=PL25ZUglfWAKcu5kuYkNdHfsIB-7SB1Qlo&index=7
The changes between Gen 2 and 3 were a lot more impactful and at a much lower level than merely learnsets or TMs or even stats. And Flareon's issue isn't its stats -- which won't be changed anyway due to how they do Eeveelution stats -- but because its movepool doesn't take advantage of its stats.
Like Dark type in Gen 2?

Locking you into a Fighting-type move with the Choice Scarf was pretty genius.
are you by any chance the same firestorm that used to play maplestory or browse merqurycity?
Yeah. I made a really stupid move on turn 1. He's a friend of mine and for some reason i didn't really think through that he had both Tyranitar and Chandelure out so would be going for the double target on Slowking. I thought he was going to trick room to reverse mine. Had no idea he was scarfed. If only I'd done my usual fake out + trick room instead of going for the massive prediction...
We were talking through the whole thing and being fairly loud and obnoxious. I lost it on that Trick :lol Shook his hand and signed the match results slip as we watched me lose.

Aw, you came so close! If he hadn't swapped your item he'd've been toast for sure. I was rooting so hard for the little slugger, too...
I don't believe I ever used that site but I was Firestorm on Maple Story yes! I played mostly during the beta. Wrote the Thief Guide and was a moderator on Sleepywood.
ah! do you remember jbxr? he's on gaf too as inertiaxr now. I was part of danketsu if you were connected to them at all. that such a long ass time ago, holy cow.
No I don't remember much about any guilds. Don't think the game had guild support when I played actually
But yeah that was so long ago! Most of the time I played with my friends from school and friends I'd made on Neopets!UltimateIke

It's from doing PokéStar films in B2/W2. If you get certain "strange" endings on the films, the Pokémon become star actors!
Ahh that from bw2 in pokestar studios. When you get a special ending with one of your pokemon, they become a star and get that neat into. The only issue is that it can't be turned off lol.

If a Pokémon makes a flop (bad ending), it loses its star.
...Eh that isn't happening. They have an image to adhere to☆.

Yeah, it first appears on March 28th in Japan. Its plotline in the anime will tie in with the next movie

I really hope it'd be more substantial than the "Mewtwo cameos".

Yes and yes. The way I figure it is that if you are going to bother breeding for perfect IV's (or constantly resetting in the case of legendaries) you may as well make it shiny as well.

Isn't there a competitive advantage to it in regards to timed battles in tourneys or am I remembering wrong?

Fuck that. So many shiny colors are hideous.

fuckin' called it, man
How am I gonna bring me old dudes over I don't have a 3DS let alone two.
I honestly can't remember. I know there's a way to RNG it and I did it once, but for the life of me I don't remember it.
Not that I know of.

Yeah, the shiny Pokemon sparkle when they come into play, which eats a few seconds of time.
