These are the Kanto mons that have been untouched since 1996 (though Ditto has Pokopia now). No evolutions or gameplay gimmicks, nothing.

Do you think any will get attention in Wind/Waves?
>>
Mew has a Z-move.
>>
>>59720512
At least one of them will, they’re KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO after all
>>
i kind of don't blame you for forgetting the mew z-crysfal
>>
>>59720512
For all the KANTOOOOOOOO pandering we've been getting for years and years, it is kind of strange there are still this many untouched Gen 1 mons. You could argue it's because they're not marketable enough, but there's Psyduck (Anime Misty's mon) and Nidoking (cool kaiju) in there.

I feel like the Ekans line, the Psyduck line, the Paras line and FUCK YEAH SEAKING are the most deserving to get something. They've been so consistently dogshit and left in the dust, I feel bad for them.

Because kantofags only know and care about the same 10 pokemon
>>
>>59720514
>>59720520

Yeah I completely forgot about that one
so scratch Mew and probably Ditto
>>
>>59720512
Nidos probably won’t because it puts a dynamic into spotlight that the games would rather enjoy and keep as an in joke.
Parasect won’t because it’s fucking dead and it’s existence is critical towards the existence of Mewtwo.

Mew could.
Arbok could because Gen 1 animu presence.
I feel they have been biding their time with Dodrio since it was originally intended to be a waifu mon going by it’s original gen 1 sprite. They might run that back with a regional form one day.

Fearow is also likely a matter of time if Pidgeot got one.
>>
>>59720543

paras split evo where it bucks the mushroom and thrives and/or ghost+bug evolution for parasect
its a cool typing thats been on just one gimmick pokemon since 2002
>>
>>59720512
Venomoth should get a mega that looks like it would fit Butterfree significantly more
>>
>>59720543
>Parasect won’t because it’s existence is critical towards the existence of Mewtwo.
huh?
>>
>>59720512
They should have a 3rd Nido for asexual variation
>>
>>59720536
>>59720520
>>59720514
Z-moves are nowhere near the same thing as new forms/evos, so they shouldn't be counted
>>
>>59720564
>asexual variation
more like non-binary Nidorinx
>>
>>59720562
The study of paras and parasect’s mushroom and it’s control over mind mind was necessary to create Mewtwo
>>
>>59720576
where did this come from?
>>
>>59720512

I have a couple of hot takes.
I care a lot about balance, but I care more about lore accuracy and making things make sense in game.
A Pokemon named Hypno should have 100% accurate hypnosis, basically, be an alternative to the mushroom pokemon with spore. Just make hypnosis not effective on psychic and dark pokemon.

- Persian has Alolan Persian, but Kanto Persian itself has become extremely weak and completely unusable, frail with 70 and 65 attack and special attack, it needs either a new evolution or an overpowered tailor made ability. In gen 1 it was great because its speed meant Slash would crit every time, meaning it had a 140 stab attack. Tauros is another pokemon that was great in gen 1 that was nerfed due to that change in mechanics. I think they both should get boosted again.

>>59720568
Based. Please Nintendo. It would earn so many brownie points for the minority
>>
>>59720579
his ass

Mew is supposed to be this pure ancestor of all species, so I don't think it should get any kind of update. Mega Mewtwo is close enough.

Nidoking will probably get the scrapped dynamax form if Pokemon Legends Galar is not cancelled.
>>
>>59720512
Good. I prefer not to have these mons raped by armor pads and color palette dreck

Nidoking almost shouldn't be here. You know how hard he got ROBBED
>>
>>59720512
Hypbo and Arbok should've been made part-Dark in gen 2.

Dodged a bullet, more like.

Genwunners are fake fans, so there's no real incentive for GF to go beyond the most superficial possible level when pandering to them.

No True Scotsman Fallacy. Try again.

>>59720568
and its evo Nidoroyal
>>
>>59720543
fearow needs a regular evolution
because with that typing and BST you're not making it competitively relevant with just a mega evolution without giving it a busted ability
as it currently stands it's just a lesser version of staraptor in both design/popularity and gameplay
>>
>>59720765
>DUDE WHAT IF NIDOKING HAD A BEARD AND CROWN LMAO
this is such lazy low hanging fruit for a mon that has "king" in it's name. that's really the best they could come up with? gigantamax mons were a mistake. the other anon is right, dodged a bullet indeed
>>

on a barely related note, am i the only one who hates that ever since gen 4 or BW2 that there's a handful of pokemon that HAVE to be obtainable before the post game in nearly every release? ditto is featured pretty often in regional dexes now for the reason that you mentioned, some other examples that come to mind are eevee, riolu, and gastly (the kanto trade evolution in general but gastly especially). i hate seeing the same handful of shillmons appearing in every game. this is something that i like about the Ruby and Sapphire regional dex, it doesn't really feel like a shillmon dex, no eevee or gastly. pikachu and arguably the other three kanto trade evolutions are exceptions, but pikachu is and always was the mascot so that's expected. i will however give credit to BW and BW2 for making pikachu trasnfer exclusive, honestly an incredibly ballsy move that i'm shocked even happened in the first place
