N. Just give it an evolution with Mew's stats. Minmax it if 600 BST on a non-legendary hurts your autism. That way it keeps its gimmick but is still viable.

Clearly Rock. It was either because it wasn't a special type in Gen 3 and GF was clearly trying to give it a specially based attacking movepool or Gamefreak just forgot about it since they don't spend much time thinking about pokemon.

Ditto
Unown
Castform
Spiritomb
Zorua/ark
Maybe Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist for the size thing? 6th gen doesn't have many 'Mons period.

Also, to be fair, Gen 6 also introduced megas, which is a gimmick in itself.

Shamefully, I forgot about Rotom, and I love that little guy. Maybe because I never used his forms in game, just his adorable base form. Such a good design when he isn't possessing some piece of shit.

Yes the way you get it is a gimmick. It is supposed to highlight the underground features. Gens have more than one gimmick.

How is unown a gimmick? I mean I get the form differences, but that's not really a pokemon that features some sort of game mechanic. If anything, the gen 2 gimmickmons are umbreon/espeon

The other weather forms are based around precipitation (or lack thereof, in the case of sun). It wouldn't make sense for it to suddenly gain control over sand particulates.

Unown were designed to show off IVs. Forms were originally determined by IV and all they know is Hidden Power.

Gen 3 had quite a few gimmickmon thanks to the introduction of abilities:
>Slakoth line
>Castform
>Skitty line
>Plusle and Minun
>Keckleon
>Groudon
>Kyogre
>Rayquaza
The difference being, of course, that some of these were actually good.

Plusle and Minun were also obviously meant to help portray the Double Battle mechanics too, given their complementary abilities and the plethora of Double Battle only/better moves they learn.

Not sure if the anon was thinking this or not, but weather effects were actually in Gen II.

They became the monsters they were until Gen VI in Gen III, though, with the Abilities that caused them and took advantage of them, additional moves based on them, and so on.

Kecleon, Smeargle, Chatot, Rotom, Sawsbuck, Vivillon, Furfrou (also regional dog) are the remaining ones. Zoroark and Spiritomb pretty much don't count but are some medium/high BST and rarity late game Pokemon.
Their main feature was showing the gen and games innovations and some signature tricks.

No. Give it formes like Rotom.

Each form has the weather inducing ability with it. And better stats of course.
