Now you're reminding me of Digimon World, a game where you controlled the trainer who ordered the Digimon in real-time.
The problem is that Digimon World was rather clunky.
Chespin's got a 2x Bug weakness, don't make me bring out the Megahorn.

I keep thinking people will be disappointed no matter what the starter Pokémon end up becoming. It's like they are unpleasable.
I'm a traditionalist. I've used Fire starter every generation. Not gonna stop now!

Said people wouldn't even play Pokemon even if it changed its gameplay. They're really those ignorant folks who try to think they know how a franchise works.

Speaking of Fire-type starter Pokémon, have you ever been disappointed by any of them previously?
Every Pokemon after Charmander is a disappointment.
Hopefully GF saw their "error" and made him a grass/fighting knight.
That would make a ton of flying types happy.

I think what is ever worse is that some asshole at Kotaku asked Masuda to his face if they ripped off Digimon with Mega Evolution. What a disrespectful asshat.

It's okay, guys. In a few years I'll be a pro-bono journalist and your man on the inside. Then you'll know who to trust when it comes to Poké-journalism :V
Hey, look on the bright side, it would take neutral damage from fire and get resistances from types it was already supereffective against!
Quad-weaknesses can be pretty nice, tho; they turn already bad matchups into hopeless ones.
You're just going to print wall-to-wall Scrafty vanity articles, aren't you?

Posting it doesn't make it true.
Posting "Grass types sucks" doesn't make it true either.

Maybe. Possibly.
Yes.
I may also write articles about how badly Gen I has aged as click bait though ;P
Cuss yeah!

I kinda hope now that not every starter gets a Mega yet, since apparently no Kalos Pokemon are getting Megas. It would feel weird if every starter except the Gen VI ones got Megas
You can't run in Gen I.
UNPLAYABLE!
Well...they do need to buff grass types.

Yeah, definitely.

There should be a Fire/Ice Pokemon. It's still pretty shocking to see some type combos that still don't exist even after 700 Pokemon. Also there are a ton of animals that don't have Pokemon counterparts. For example:
Trout
Dolphin
Mosquito
Earthworm
Walking Stick
Moose
Platypus
Roach
Turkey
Etc...

Cockroach Pokémon? Ew :c
That is because Grass isn't an offensive type. I acknowledge the type isn't one of the bests, but it isn't the worst either.
I personally always have tons of fun using Leech Seed + Powders + Giga Drain. I think it is more fun than the all-out-attack way of playing of Fire-types.
Calling it a "bad type" is an hyperbole btw and it is not like the Fire-type is one of the bests either, though it got a bit better with the Fairy-type resistance...

For those who haven't seen it, here's a list of 100 organisms that are not Pokemon.
Plus, we have a mon composed of sludge, which is way more disgusting than any natural animal.
Oddly enough, cockroaches are fastidiously clean in comparison to a lot of other "pests" like flies.

Grass types are getting a nice buff with the immunity to Spore... Except Breloom, of course.
It's not the worst, but clearly one of the bad types. Grass type moves are more about the combinations and strategy, but this makes them a bit boring. They just feel a bit off, as CB nowadays is more oriented towards speed and there are many Grass types that completely depend of Sunny Day or Drought. Also, it's kinda funny that Sunny weather affects them positively, as it also helps their "predators", Fire-types.

There are a ton of dream Pokemon I still want, but I got two of my biggest wants this gen, a fire lion and a T-Rex, so I'm set for a gen.
Pokemon is one of the few RPG franchises left with turn-based battles. Fuck that noise.
Turn based battles > *

Lol, as I said, that is exactly what I like about Grass-types, besides the amazing concept, of course. I guess to each their own. Oh and again, I don't think Grass is one of the bad types, though I agree that it definitely need some boosts. Losing one or two weaknesses would be a great start. Then again, I don't play metagame and I am referring solely to my experiences in the Battle Frontier facilities and in the PWT. Grass-type works amazingly in these places.

Yeah. Still, it could be the cutest thing ever and I would probably still dislike it, because of traumas :v
