Suit yourself. I'll just remind you that you had 2 pokemon with Stone Edge before I made the changes. Volcarona's other moves are 100% guaranteed to hit. Hence, you are allowed to take the risk (which is not even that high with 85%Acc). It's supposed to be a wallbreaker, but of course, using fiery dance is valid too.

RPGmaker. Also, speak with one of those who are already in the process of making their game for the technical stuff. Then sit at your desk to organize your story, characters, and build your world. When that's done, you start working on it, ask around for tips and then publish it. It should take about a year to get it started.

I'd love to see a Spinda evolution to be honest...

It is a practical way of improving certain lines, without being limited to use one of them each time.. A Mega Evolution helps improve even pokemon of a 3rd stage, which is against the rules of normal evolution. There are instances like Farfetch'd that will be forgot if not given an evolution, because even if they are given a mega, there will be enough options to disregard the duck and use something else. A normal evolution helps use the pokemon in many different scenarios and allows it to use an item, thus opening for diversity. For a company that's trying to balance the competitive part of the game the past few gens, being limited to megas is... essentially limiting the whole game. I personally do not believe they will take actions that block their own game's potential. Another reason I believe they will provide us with evos for pokemon debuting in previous gens is the whole "milestone" celebration, and the fact that -in terms of backwards compatibility- they are trying to link all gens. What better method to 'link' them than provide us with new evos, that are not necessarily megas? The fanbase is craving for them, and I don't think they will miss the chance.

With Sun and Moon being at the door, it's high time we discussed which pokemon we'd love to see have an evolution. Bring all your imagination, and tell us which pokemon, from which gen deserves an evolution, and what will that be. You can go as creative as you please. We should not discuss about Mega evolutions, since that's a completely different topic. Feel free to post your creations in full detail, even provide pictures for it (if you can draw or find something that's close to what you had in mind), or simply say which pokemon you'd like to see evolve, how, what type/ability/stats/moves it will get and don't forget to tell us why ! Notes: 1) All pokemon with 1 or 2 stages are viable. 2) No, sadly we cannot pretend baby pokemon never existed. 3) Unowns are off limits. 4) NOT MEGAS

Please write below every member the role they play for the team, because right now it just seems like a gather-up of powerful individuals, with zero co-operation. Find what each pokemon does, and you'll know soon how to build around certain cores in your team. Edit: Ok I made a few changes to your team, trying to keep the format as similar as I could. Ok who am I kidding? I turned this into a total speed control team... and it's quite nice, so kudos me! First, I changed your mega. M-Heracross does the same thing Crustle and Scolipede did in this team, so I got you a Pinsir with CC, Return, SD in case you need to wallbreak or when you force a switch, and Feint (which you can swap for Quick Attack) for priority since 105 base speed is not the best in the tier given that everyone and their mother will set up on you, given the chance. Then I turned your Galvantula into a lead set with Sticky Web, Thunder, Bug Buzz and HP-ice for maximum coverage. It now holds a sash, so you'll have the opportunity to set up your webs anytime. Galvantula is a scary glass cannon which can be used late game for sweeping too. Web gives you multiple opportunities to set up or attack back with your pseudo bolt/beam coverage. Next comes Volcarona. This one needs to become a wallbreaker, so I changed it completely. Ok I kept Quiver Dance, but you expected that, right? Now it has Fire Blast, HP-ground and Giga Drain for maximum longevity, given it can set up on Rotom's face when it has a Passho Berry. Yep, a good, all rounded win-con. At this point I realised that Yanmega is completely redundant, so I euthanized it, and put Forretress in its position. Now you have a good defensive pokemon that can spin the hazards away, set some on its own, use gyro ball for good damage even with no Atk investment, and do a slow volt switch into something you want to set up with or wallbreak without having to worry for damage while switching in. I didn't like your Crustle so I made it hold Knock Off. Sue me. I also tossed Stone Miss and gave it something more reliable: Rock Slide. This way, as soon as you set up, you won't have to worry for misses all the time, besides you don't really need the extra power. Knock off helps get lefties and eviolites out of the game. Plus, nobody expects it. Yay? I also tossed Rock Slide from Scolipede and sub'd it with Protect. Trust me, when the opposing scarfer knocks at your door, you'll love this change. Here's a replay that pretty much shows what most pokemon can do now http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-337686024 Importable

Better suit up with armor, because people will come at you Spade. Gen6 starters all had nice designs, and 2/3 are powerful. Let's hope the names do not indicate megas for said pokemon. I know people try to hype them, but please don't. They are bad beyond measure, and we don't need more psychic type megas. Even if they were to announce some, I'd rather it wasn't the ... rocks. Rocket is evil, as evil goes. My guess is that we'll be dealing with 2 different evil teams, but this time they will be cults. One for Sun (or Sun god) and another for moon (or Moon God). The perfect environment for this would be ancient Egypt, but it seems we'll go to South America. I mean, we already visited the States, should we not go for a stroll in the Amazon?

Squirtle is a turtle, Turtwig is a Tortoise. One lives in the sea and has some amphibian traits, the other lives only in the land and has some connection to dinos.

I'm here to mention that Grass types do not have specific link, but the most common theme is the reptilian one. Dino, Dino, Geicko, Tortoise, Snake, Dino-Rodent, ...? Just because a new region is based on a certain place, it doesn't mean that all new pokemon will have a connection to it. Remember Hoopa, the arabic pokemon, that was found in France?

It appears you went straight to the deep then. First you need to check some articles and teambuilding videos on YouTube that describe what the goal of each team is. http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/battling-101-basics-a-new-youtube-webseries.3525783/ The link above goes to smogon's battling 101. I check some of their articles from time to time, even if I think I can teambuild quite efficiently. Now that the new gen will emerge, you will have the chance to start new along with all of us, but first, check what's going on right now. The game does not change drastically. As Chubb said, check the articles posted here or on smogon, to get a better view of what you might not understand. Then make sure you know the meta and the pokemon in it. Prediction is 50% of teambuilding. If all that is not enough, try sparring. Battling is the best way to see what you do wrong. Don't be disheartened when you fail. We all do. It's normal. Learn from your mistakes and try to become better by taking risks. It's not like you lose money or your house, or your life. If all that is not enough, try contacting one of the people around here who have been playing for some time and are actually good at this. You may even check the RMT section, take a peek at what's already there, and when you feel ready to post a team you need help with, we will be more than happy to help, and rate in full detail.

I was going to post that grass types are reptilian creatures with hints to evolution but Snivy and Chespin prove this rule wrong. Simply because the picture tries to make connections, it doesn't mean they are true. Chestnaught is a mammal and has no connection to reptiles, but to rodents. Snivy is a snake and has no connection to dinosaurs (apart from being reptiles). Now that we have more generations it's getting harder to make starters that fit the criteria as strictly as the first generations did. Therefore, the connections become vague and the line that shows that this is a connection between the starters and not the type in general is becoming faint. If the dolphin is out of the question, then what's more probable?

I rather enjoy this game. Sure it goes the extra mile to be edgy, but it's alri-... ok I can stop pretending. Some parts are really stupid. And when I say some, I mean about 99% of them. Birtch is actually decent now. He may have no idea how pokemon breed, train, level-up, battle, but he can hack a military satelite and that makes everything ok. Perhaps that's why there were no zombies in Oldale. That place is a huge underground military base. You heard machinery when you started but couldn't see a truck, right? You never guessed.

Otters and Penguins are not amphibians. One is a bird and the other a mammal, like a dolphin. Pokelogic does not apply everywhere, and I believe you've battled in caves using fish, underwater using birds, in volcanoes using plants, and inanimate objects... everywhere! Just like Grass does not follow a certain pattern, Water doesn't seem to either. I could see a dolphin that becomes Water/Flying at its 3rd stage, but that's only me. Others may want a kitten or a jet or a humanoid. I mention the dolphin because it's an animal species they have left out, seemingly deliberately.

Kyogre is technically an Orca. Yep, we need a dolphin. Perhaps it's the new starter. (Inb4: Grass starter dolphin - fire fits most, but they follow the Chinese zodiac) I expect the following. Feel free to comment and discuss about them and post your own suggestions

You need not worry. The type chart changed with XY. There will be no type additions. The only changes I may see are buffs to Ice and Bug, but that's more or less it.

Following types: Electric -> Ground -> Ice -> Rock -> Steel -> Dragon?

If Solrock gets one and Flygon, Milotic, Luxray, Raticate, Feraligatr, Meganium, Typhlosion, Electivire, Toxicroak, Kingler, Drapion, Liligant, Krookodile, and Gogoat do not get one, I'll be seriously disappointed. Also, make that Cub -> Wolf -> Werewolf pokemon happen.
