Being able to release a move with more than 150 base power with perfect precision and no draw backs is not a stupid gimmick.

There was a text found in the demo files that read "Your pokemon was unable to fully protect", or something similar, and people believe that the text is related to Z moves.

In other words, there is a chance that Z moves partially ignore protect.

So you don't like Pokemon Go?
I assume you don't play it?
But you want it to die?
So that no one else plays it?
Even though you don't play it?
Cause you don't like it, everyone else shouldn't like it either?

A free app, that no one is forcing you to play, another game and more money to a franchise you love, but "I hate something other people like so it should die already"

Anti Pokemon GO people are actually retarded.

HAHAHA

"So many unique Pokemon!"
- Most are single stage Pokemon.

- Some are based on Animals not even found in Hawaii (Orangutan, Toucan, Koala, Red Panda)

- Majority of the old Pokemon don't even fit with a tropical island theme (No Ludicolo, Tropius or Bellossom!)

- Unique animals, another owl, another cat, another seal, another dog, another fire tortoise, another space rock, another horse, another flower fairy, another berry another fish, another mongoose, another lion, another bat, another mantis...so unique...

Not OP but I do kinda agree a little.

Majority of the new Pokemon are single staged, giving a lot of players no reason to use them since they don't really have any kind of growth.

There does seem to be a lot of random Pokemon in the dex, a lot that don't seem to fit a tropical island theme, when Pokemon like Ludicolo/Tropius/Bellossom do, it's odd that they wouldn't include them.

Could be a little nitpicky with what the Pokemon are based on, but there doesn't seem to be many new Pokemon based on unique/different animals that we haven't already had.

My biggest nitpick is there not actually being a proper Dolphin Pokemon (Tapu Purple is so not a dolphin)

On the other hand it does bring up some funny scenarios of people predicting a Z-move and switching in a immunity.

Really all it means is far as Z-move nukes go it'll be the ones without immunities that will be popular.

Chubbychu is the mascot, so why not it?
Mewtwo was the movie whore of the year, so why not it?
Lizardking has been the most over-promoted starter, ever - so why not it?
Psyduck is probably the most beloved Pokemon from the anime (besides Jigglypuff) so why not it?
Blastoise is shit, so I am not surprised it is off in the corner.
