The only thing that always bothered me were mega-evolutions. Those are just silly and remind me of dragonball powercreep. Super-Saiyan-Pikachu when?

Never, Pikachu already has a normal evolution (Raichu).

That's true, a mega raichu perhaps?

Nintendo has shunned Raichu for far too long.

The anime treated evolving Pikachu like it was animal abuse.

I'm with Lt. Surge on this one.

Or even better: a mecha raichu!

I actually kind of like the new Alolan forms, I just hope they have more than just those 4 ice types and exeggutor. I also hope they aren't gonna do away with mega evolution.

According to the Chinese leak, there's going to be forms for a bunch of other Gen 1 pokemon. Ratata, Nidoran, Caterpie, Growlithe, and a whole bunch more.

Will Nintendo ever give its other gens the same level of respect?

It could be worse. Nintendo might be bought by EA, for example.

I would rather at least keep these new forms confined within the nostalgia of gen 1, less they start throwing out new forms like mad...

and only give one to gen 5. Seriously, black and white gets less respect than gen 4.

If you guys are interested, here's an article that talks more about the leak. I don't think that all of it is shown, but it is still a good topic of discussion.

So, I heard everybody here likes Mudkips.

Raichus are better.

The tyranny of the Pikachu is at an end.

Gen V only got one Mega ego in ORAS and it was Audino. I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!

YTF does Vulpix have an ice Alola form!?

Did the leak show these forms or just tell about them?

That's what I was referencing to. As much as I dislike Megas, they could've at least give some more love to Gen V. Seriously, the only use i ever saw in Audino in my Black 2 playthrough was an exp farm

Just tell. You should check out the link I posted above if you want to know more. It's not entirely accurate, for example the new Vulpix form was noted as Fire/Fairy instead of Ice/Fairy

And then everything escalated horribly. The number of children devoured has yet to be established.
