Retcons in Pokemon

No.18755229 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
What do you guys think of Retcons in Pokemon? Should it be encouraged? Where would you draw the hypothetical line?

For example:
>Mechanics change. Should Nidoqueen be able to breed with Nidoking?

>Base stat increases to reflect Pokedex entries. Eg. Pidgeot and Dragonite were supposed to be Sanic fast. Lol Dragonite is supposed to fly faster than ANY Pokemon look it up

>Base stats changes to salvage Pokemon with good design but bad spread. E.g. Flareon

>Type balancing to reflect common sense. Steel weak to electricity. If water is weak because it conducts electricity, so should steel. Bugs weak to poison because muh pesticide, etc.

>Type rebalances for competitive purposes. (Grass and Ice needs to be buffed).
