More gyms in a generation.
Non-story gyms where you can maybe get a certain TM or item for defeating them.
Like you said, strategy based gyms. I’d kill for a Trick Room or weather based gym, that’d be fantastic.
Additionally, I’d love some earlier Ghost/Ice/Fighting types to make monotype runs easier and a bit more fun. Thankfully I don’t have to worry about Fighting types this gen, but I’ve always wanted to be able to do a proper Ice/Ghost mono run.
On the contrary, I think I would make the Elite 4 more of a challenge because of the team lock. Before a gym leader, you can always just stack up your team with counters to their stuff.
Dragonite, Tyranitar, Metagross, Salamence, Garchomp and Hydreigon are all pseudo-legends. They’re part of a 3 stage family, are dual-typed, and have BSTs of 600.
Who knows, though. Maybe Goodra will be the exception. But another type wouldn’t hurt. Still looks like a Dragon/Fairy to me.
He’s also lacking where it counts. Speed. And seeing as Kyurem-B has better stats than Haxorus and has been shown it isn’t OP, I wouldn’t be the case with Haxorus either.
Nope. Pure Dragon, so probably an exception. From the stats, Goodra is defensive instead of offensive, so it will be different there too assuming its BST is 600.
[details=Spoiler]The rare Non-Dragon Champion Main Pokemon. And a shocker. Fucking GARDEVOIR as a Champion’s main pokemon. That has to be the first time that a Champion’s main pokemon is Not a Pokemon from the same Generation.
Now I have to use it…to be Champion.
And on the KH front…first there’s Klefki, then there’s giving Yveltal Dark Aura as an ability. And now? The Champion’s room has a Stained Glass floor like it’s the Dive to the Heart? Game Freak, why you want my KH money?[/details]
