Really I went for Pikachu out of nostalgia. LGPE is a nostalgic game to begin with so I have no shame, and unless you're playing online I think starter Pikachu is fine. I know that starter Eevee has better moves and coverage, but cute/nostalgia won out.

Starter Pikachu is still good, there's nothing wrong with it, but...

Eevee gets some of the best attacks for those types in the game, and Pikachu gets...kind of nothing in return. :shrug:

I don't know how so many players could have high expectations for Game Freak while simultaneously thinking they've been terrible for over a decade and expecting trash from them.

I like Pokémon and I think it deserves better than GameFreak.

New Pokemon seem cool. Alcremie and Rolycoly in particular, they also have very good names.

But Gamefreak should just show me Gigantamax Farfetch’d already!

I still want them to make a Dragon Eevee (to complete having an evolution for every Special type), and then create an Eevee counterpart who gets all the physical evolutions.

Do you think James will end up getting an Alcremie in the anime? I haven't kept up with the anime, but from what I've seen he always seems to end up with cute Pokemon (like Mareanie, she's adorable).

I'm pretty sure Jessie is going to partner up with an Impidimp.

Honestly, I feel like they'll save Alcremie for one of Ash's partners. If they go back to full-on [girl] and [brock stand in] then having the fifth Brock be a baker makes sense.

I can see that, also if they do go back to having Ash have one boy partner and one girl partner I hope he ends up with Bea and Allister cause those two seem rad.

Legendary: Mewtwo, what can I say? I love cats.
