I want it to become Fire/Ice instead. Still bad, but significantly less so and unique.

I just noticed the cool S in this and I hope I see a grunt use it to spell their team name when the game comes out.

What's sad is that there's no way that the actual Guzma presented in the game will be half as cool as what we imagine him to be in our heart of hearts.

I don't miss a lot of gen 1 mechanics, since most of them were buggy garbage, but I do miss some of the goofier moves being on TMs. It was no use in the end game, but it was pretty cool being able to teach Water Gun to Ratatta, Pay Day to Pikachu, or whatever.

Winning with your favorite Pokemon is the best feeling though, even if they are suboptimal.

Not many pokemon are "basically a liability" weak, and all but the very most limited can still leverage the element of surprise in order to create openings that teammates can exploit. Most pokemon fall in the area where the thing they do best is a bit narrow in its applicability, and the more general roles they can try to fill are better performed by something a bit more optimized.

But that's why you can have six of them. The secret to winning with your favorites is to understand how to use their unique qualities to maximum effect, bring answers to the things that could ruin their teammates' days, and most importantly, have a lot of favorites.

If his name is based on the plant, the first. But wouldn't the Japanese writing of his name (they're the same) give it away?

If anyone wants to pore over videos for this, Guzz-ma would be something like ガズマ and Gooze-ma would be something like グズマ.

Refight the Rich Boy, Lady, and Gentlemen trainers for the highest money in the fastest time. You can get an hour-long Prize Money O-Power that triples money winnings from your secret base as well.

So what would you guys recommend if I was interested in playing pokemon again after playing the original (yellow) like 18 years ago? DS2 + X or something? I looked up how many there are now and WTF how do you keep track of that many jesus. Also there are a lot of different games too.
