a mon whose form changes based on how many battles it's been in. Forms would probably be something like "Fully Charged" "Good to go" "Low Battery" "Out of Juice" or something like that. Maybe mono-Electric with a battery charging motif.

a mon that can evolve into its prevolution, or whatever. Something that can continuously evolve into its different stages.

a mon that can eat any item as if it were a berry.

a mon that lets you see what moveset and ability the opposing pokemon has.

a chicken mon that, if it uses an "egg" move, has a chance of spontaneously generating one of its prevos (a literal egg with legs sticking out, like you see in cartoons or whatever) and it's automatically added to your team/party/box (kinda like shedinja) if it procs.

An otherwise overpowered ghost type Pokemon with an ability that makes it vulnerable to normal and fighting type attacks.

A pikachu clone that has the old fatchu aesthetic and evolves into Gorochu. It also sucks.

>>58285309
that would actually be pretty cool and pretty reasonable, imo. If they were especially harsh on it could even make it ghost/dark to make it weak to fighting. Still only weak to fairy and fighting then, but it would only resist poison and be immune to psychic (or they could make it neutral to psychic too lmao) and wouldn't get much out of the secondary stab.
so basically a normal type with better stab.

>>58285289
Fairy/Fighting or Psychic/Fighting or hell, even a pure Fighting type pokemon based on clerics with a ability called "Holy Hands" that allows it to hit Ghost types for super effective STAB.

I think we're getting another gen 5 situation where no old pokemon are coming back at launch. Of course they'll sell us multiple waves of DLC to add most of them back in, but it'll be ~100 new mons for the first 6 months.

A little girl Fairy/Steel type based on kids picking up money off the ground and fairies trying to get stuff out of you; plays off of being "vulnerable" but just steals your money. Has moves like Thief, Payday, Snatch, Covet, and abilities are Pickpocket, Magician. And yes, it's just to have another fairy/steel lolimon; gf loves those.

>>58285344
big doubt
we'll probably have "THE BIGGEST POKEDEX EVER!!!" and "THEY'RE ALL BACK! EVERY GIMMICK, EVERY POKEMON!" to attempt to cash in on people who (rightfully) quit after dexit. (and then go right back to cutting the dex next gen)

>>58285350
They will never, ever have every pokemon at launch ever again. Especially since there's over 1,000 now. And they can sell the old ones back to us.

>Gen 10 only has gen 10 Pokemon.
>First DLC adds the original 151 and any related cross-gen evos
>Second DLC does the same for gen 2
>Third for gen 3
>So on and so forth, adding back each gen's mons one by one
>Gens 6-9 re-add their generational gimmicks
>Each gen gets new cross-gen evos with their respective DLC
>But there's 9 DLCs, each paid for separately
I could definitely see GF doing this.

>>58286080
If they didn't charge for every DLC, I'd be pretty down for this, tbdesu. It would make competitive interesting, at the very least, and we'd get a full dex eventually.

>make pokemon a yearly release, but instead of games, it's just season passes
lol

>>58285314
Atsuko Nishida doesn't know how to design good Pokemon anymore

>>58285289
A mon that is the living version of secret power. Its form changes based on the terrain the battle is initiated on

>>58285289
I like the idea of a mon that can only be obtained by breeding 2 unrelated mons together.
Like my mom's snake and my mom's chicken, and you breed them together into a basilisk.

>>58285289
Pokemon that can fuse together

>>58285289
Quintissentialism. Certain Pokemon get a super special 5th movie, hence "quints". Charizard can get two.

>>58285289
A pure Ghost-type pokémon with the ability to "haunt" the next teammate that switches in after it faints. The effect of the haunt changes based on type match-up the next pokemon has agaisnt Ghost.

Weak to Ghost:
Gain a Speed increase but slightly lowered Accuracy. Like Hustle but for speed.

Neutral to Ghost:
Gives the user +1 to both attack stats, but -1 to both defensive stats.

Resistant to Ghost:
Gives priority to all status moves. Essentially giving ANY Dark-type Prankster. But just like Prankster, other Dark-types are immune to your status moves.

Immune to Ghost:
The haunting leaves your pokémon, instead becoming the Curse effect on your opponent. (Until they faint or switch out)

Bonus effect:
Purifying Salt cancels the effect entirely.

A couple rules. This would only work for the next pokémon that switches in. So switching it out or fainting would end the effect. And if you feel it needs more balancing, perhaps it only activates if the Ghost pokémon faints to direct damage? Fainting to sandstorm chip, poison, burn or hazards won't do anything for you.

>>58285289
Pokemon that has 2 middle stages that arrive at the same final stage, but they have different move sets depending on which one they were

>>58285302
>a mon that lets you see what moveset and ability the opposing pokemon has.
would never happen because it would be useless in vgc

>>58285289
An item that swaps the Attack and Special Attack stats of the holder

>>58287499
>gamefreak has never made a pokemon for a reason other than being competitively viable
Uhh.... Are you sure?
Plus it would be unironically nice in-game to see wild pokemon's moves and abilities, or whatever. GF is normally very happy to include stuff dedicated to the in-game experience.

>>58287472
Good concept that would be pretty reasonable imo. Effects themselves could be simplified if need be though, could just be +1 to a certain stat.

>>58285289
A Pokemon whose form changes based on your fashion choices

>>58288431
This would be fun for mons with weirdly varied movepools that can’t use them fully like Normal types

Castform but for Terrain and good.
