What I was saying that instead of taking a normal Pokemon and giving it a special form only that individual member can have that maybe they should just make a completely new Pokemon. However there just seems to be always someone stronger and better, which makes sense as Ash is still just a kid who still has plenty to learn.Ħ) Not asking for Event Pokemon to go away. And his biggest loses are ones that affect his dreams and goals: winning a Pokemon League and one step closer to being a "Pokemon Master". Also, Ash loses, or at the very least he gets a few of his Pokemon knocked out before winning. His Pokemon didn't (use to) have a super form they could power-up to and start owning, his Pokemon were just another member of their species (sometimes with personality quirks) and Ash planned battling strategies (often on the spot) around their strength, weaknesses, and quirks. But he's still a normal trainer, he didn't catch the Legendary, all his Pokemon are the Starters and com mons. Ash-Greninja and Lycanroc Dusk are a specific Greninja and Rockruff/Lycanroc.ĥ) Granted, Ash has been on great adventures and met/befriended Legendary Pokemon. Of course in that case any normal Rotom could change forms. Now someone pointed out this was the case with Rotom's forms originally but they were later made available.
Ash-Greninja and Lycanroc Dusk are different forms which play differently (and intently better) from the normal version of that Pokemon.Ĥ) Pokemon has plenty of Pokemon which have alternate forms, but usually they're not event exclusive.
It just feels a bit cheaper, especially when it's something linked to the anime where it only exists to make Ash special.Ģ) But they're still that Pokemon, they just have a special move. The latter is them taking a normal Pokemon and giving it a special form, sort of making an exclusive version of that Pokemon. The former is a super rare Pokemon, it was made purposely with the idea to be only given by an event. Let's wait before we decide it sucks.ġ) Event Pokémon have always been a thing since Mew.Ĭlick to expand.1) There's a difference between a Mythical Pokemon and what they did/are doing with Ash-Greninja and Lycanroc Dusk.
Save for what a very vocal minority part of the fan base thinks, they're probably not going away anytime soon.ħ) Dusk Lycanroc is cool & we don't know much about it besides a tiny bit of visual info. I don't think he's an "Everyman." He's not getting detention & working on getting his crush to go out with him to the school dance.Ħ) vast majority of people think Event Pokémon are cool. It's honestly surprising it's taken Pokémon this long to get in on it.ĥ) Ash has met dozens of legendary Pokémon & saved the world double digit times. It creates interest in the property & sells merchandise.
Are they going to be gen exclusive like the Spiky-Eared Pichu? If not, would you ever plan on releasing them again even though they're closely tied to the anime who might not feature that Pokemon once that gen arc is over? Do they plan on making them available normally at some point? This just feels like a slippery slope I think GF should jump off of while they're still at the top.Ĭlick to expand.1) Event Pokémon have always been a thing since Mew.Ģ) Event Pokémon have been a thing since the likes of Extremespeed Zigzagoon, Heal bell Dragonite, Wish Chansey, etc.ģ) This is just a new (and probably successful) way of enticing younger players.Ĥ) Alternative forms of characters works in a variety of other franchises - Dragonball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Power Rangers, Streetfighter, One Piece, Naruto, Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, X-men, etc. But now we're getting these special Event Pokemon who are super versions of normal Pokemon. Also, were the Mythical Pokemon not enough? Like in ORAS I thought we were getting to a point where there were so many Mythical Pokemon that GF started to de-mythified some just so they didn't need to plan an Event to distribute it in the future (ORAS did this with Deoxys, hoping Sinnoh remakes would do this with Darkrai and maybe Manaphy (or use it as the early promotion event)). Event Pokemon: So is this a new thing now? A normal Pokemon given something special and used as an early promotion event gimmick? I'm not sure if I like that, especially if it encourages the anime writers to keep making Ash a special snowflake (he's suppose to be an "every man" character, him being special comes from his strategies and working with his Pokemon's strengths and weaknesses, not that one of his Pokemon gets a special power-up no one else gets).
