Yellow is based on the anime, it's not the game you should be looking at. Pidgeot is his main. It's the first Pokémon he caught, it appears in nearly every final team he has unlike the starters.

mostly correct, but imo mechanically gens 5 and 6 are very similar
they both have 3D arenas, pokémon animating based on status, a very similar multiplayer feature (c gear and pss) and both are the last games to use grid based design

Quoted By:

>>58035877
The experience of actually playing them is very different. Gen 4 and 5 are almost identical, while Gen 6 and everything after are almost identical. I personally blame lack of general innovation for the latter, but to put it another way there's no real reason to backport Pokermon from Gen 5 to Gen 4 because they'd function basically the same. Similarly there's not a compelling reason to backport Pokemon from Gen 7+ to Gen 6 because aside from a buff to Dark type and a few number changes here and there the fundamentals of the battle system are too similar. Hell, there's a lot of differences in what you talked about anyway, notably the grid based design only really applies in ORAS because XY has the skates for most of the game, and even when you're not allowed to use them walking diagonally is extremely powerful (look at the ice puzzle that breaks immediately when you do so). I could also go on about how much the c-gear is fucking worthless and nothing like the cool and awesome PSS but I'm probably getting too in to the weeds at this point.

Mega Dragonite follows the same pattern as Mega Charizard Y and Mega Metagross - it takes elements from its previous evolution and incorporates them into its new form. 'Zard Y has the middle horn from Charmeleon and the back spikes from Charmander (that were retconned out of existence yet are still being referenced for some reason); Metagross gets and entire Metang glued to its underside, complete with empty sockets for its eyes; Dragonite gets the wing-ears and weather-controlling tail orb from Dragonair.
I'm still not sure what the idea behind Mega Garchomp was, other than "give it bigger scythes and cover it with hideous spikes!". It doesn't follow the pattern and is easily the worst looking thing there.

a lot of your points are flimsy. gems being a gimmick on par with everything else is weak since you could call eggs, poffins, berries, trading, stone evolutions, etc all gimmicks. i'm not even a zoomer, i was a junior in hs when this came out but it feels to me like the last pokemon game before a huge shift toward being lame. probably should've stuck to sprites.

The bottom of the image reminded me of the weird Daycare tutorial in the middle of XY, something that I'm pretty sure never came up before nor after even though it has actually changed since then. Like I get BW overtutorializing because they were paralyzed of losing the WiiDS audience and it's comparatively graceful when compared to shit like Skyward Sword (but still leagues worse than the excellent Galaxy 2), but by that point in XY the ship has well and truly sailed, I don't fucking get why they did that and managed to make a straight line route have dogshit pacing but putting so many pointless cutscenes on it.
