I really like Shikijika, shame it has so many weaknesses (it's a Normal/Grass type, so it's weak to Bug, Fighting, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Poison). Of course, it's ability is Chlorophyll, so it might be like Sneasel/Weaville in that it moves so freaking fast that it's weaknesses don't matter.
Is it sad that all of the Pokemon for Generation V haven't been announced yet and I'm already thinking about my team?
EDIT: Oh mans, it changes colours depending on the season. So there's going to be changing seasons in the games? I wonder how that's going to affect the game, maybe there will be different Pokemon with different seasons?

Yeah, this info was out quite early. People speculate that the worm posted on the previous page will also change leaf-colour depending on season and of course season-based evolutions.
But flying squirrels are cool
Sure they are. Just pointing out that there's a Pikachu introduced in every generation.
EDIT: SPECULATION! First gym = Electric type (minimal chance of Grass) Second gym = Grass type Wotter = HARD MODE

The first Gym Leader is a Wine Steward, I REALLY want to know what kind of trainer he is.
Second gym = Grass type
Considering that her name is Aloe, I'm going to have to go with you on this one.
Wotter = HARD MODE
Still probably going to pick him, though. Might trade over a Pokabu to get a decent Fire Pokemon, unless one I like gets announced and is easy to obtain fairly early in the game.

Wine steward, waiter, seen both. The one argument I've seen against him using Electric type is that his design doesn't appear to have any relation to the military.
Pokabu
Stupid romanized nonsense. PIGNITE! PIGNITE!! Seriously, it's far better imho. Same with Smugleaf and Wotter.

[insert picture of supposed second stage Water/Fighting evolution] He was a weakling, spat-upon chump at first, then he was shown smiling and everyone wants him.
EDIT2: Golem used Explosion. Foe Skarmory fainted.
The HMs are the way they are so that you can't get permanently stuck in certain parts of the game. What they should do is allow a pokemon to learn an HM that can only be used outside of battle to overcome obstacles, instead of forcing them to be indefinitely stuck with a shitty move in their pool for most of the game.

What they should do is make it so HMs do not take up a move slot. It doesn't matter how they do it, that's the only change they have to make.
They could do it where HMs are actually machines, like a flying bicycle or whatever, and you don't need to involve the Pokemon at all. They could make it so you just equip the HM to the Pokemon, and it gains the ability, but it only matters when you are on the map, and doesn't take up an actual action slot during battles. There are a zillion ways they could do it, just don't make it use an action slot in combat. At the bare minimum, make it optional. "Yes, I would like this Pokemon to gain the ability to surf in battle, no I would only like to surf on the map screen."

I've always thought that there should be other moves that work like HM's, like Slash (which should work like Cut) and some Fighting type moves could work like Strength and Rock Smash.

I usually just refer to it as Bacon, but I like Pignite as well.
I think the real solution to TMs/HMs is to get rid of the difference, and just make certain techniques taught by TM only capable of being taught by TM and usable in battle outside. Also, make it so that they can be gotten rid of by a move deleter. Then, you play through the game's story using things like Surf and Strength to get through, then once you're done with that, you delete any moves you don't want and start actually training your real team for competition, if that's what you like doing.

The problem is that you still want to travel all around the map even after you've beaten the game. If you delete Fly and Surf, that is going to be kind of hard.

At this point, you make a T.M. slave out of a legendary or Pokemon you don't care about, fly to where you need, then switch them out. If you need to surf, you can switch one of your Pokemon you want to train out, and rotate the Pokemon you're training.

So a whole bunch of unnecessary extra work? If they would just give you a boat and a plane, you wouldn't have to do any of that extra tedious shit.

Awesome.
Totally fucking metal.
edit: also I just remembered one of my favorite Pokemon is an electric kangaroo-sheep thing.

Also, reusable TMs, yes.
