Kay. Champion gets a Ho-Oh then!

Cool stuff. Actually, it makes sense that the strongest trainer in the region has a legendary.

Exactly! Not sure if this hypothetical game would have two versions, but if it did one would have Ho-Oh while the other would have Lugia as the signature mon for the Champ.

Also, I made sure that the Elite Four is also rather hard to beat as well.

Full six teams?

Nah, five Pokémon each for the Four. Champ has six.

eh, still better than XY. They only had 4 Pokemon per.

Yeah, what's up with that? Previous EFs had at least five mons. Granted maybe the reasons for one less was for balancing because they technically are the highest leveled Elite Four.

Probably. Still, levelling is so easy in XY that they could have 6 apiece and I still would have trounced them.

There was a theory that keeping six Pokemon is really difficult. You have to raise them each according to their needs, feed them food according to their type, level each one, and still love and care for them. It's a lot to keep track of for the average trainer and that's why most of them only have two or three Pokemon or have Pokemon according to the type. That why you're considered a great trainer, because you can raise six Pokemon with no issue.

Good theory, but there are points in the games you can fight people like Gym Leaders again and they have six Pokémon.

And who's to say they didn't train their butts off so they could beat you? They still only have one type though.

True. Though it could be that they were that strong to begin with but deliberately used their weaker Pokémon to battle you depending on how many badges you had. Hence why the first Gym Leader has generally low leveled Pokémon, you had no badges. It's pretty much implied to be the case in Pokémon Origins when Red first meets Brock.

I still need to watch Pokemon Origins...

I still need to finish it. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a decent sub that uses the Western names of Pokémon. When I see Charmelion on screen I want it referred to as as such damn it!

Lizardo.

*pulls out a gun* No.

Also, I remember watch one really badly subbed episode of Origin. It was so bad random Spanish would come out of no where, translations mistakes like people seeing Red's four badges and remarking "He's got five badges," it was a mess.

That's terrible. Gah, bad subs. Have they gotten better at all? It's been a few months.

I have no idea. But I really should check cause I want to finish it at some point.

Also, does this sound like a good Elite Four line up: Poison, Normal, Flying, Psychic

Not half bad. Especially considering Normal and Flying have never been used.

That was my thought. Odd all things considered. They so many types and yet only use so few multiple times. Dragon being the biggest offender of over use.

Also, would you care to see the Teams of the Four and give criticism for them?

Yes.

Why did you even ask?

Just to make sure. Anyway!
1. Seviper, Venomoth, Nidoking, Tentacruel, Dragalge
2. Heliolisk, Kecleon, Lopunny, Snorlax, Porygon2
3. Hawlucha, Altaria, Xatu, Braviary, Dragonite
4. Malamar, Sigilyph, Gardevoir, Wobbuffet, Metagross

Good strong teams. Also, a bunch of them aren't used often, which is good. I'm sure they get lonely.

I would have posted their move sets but that would divide up the post. If you're up to it I can show you the move sets one team at a time.

I'm good. They're probably excellent. Nothing compared to decent level grinding, but still excellent. What's the average levels?

Early to mid sixties.

So XY-ish levels. Hmmm.

Yup. I can take them.

Three of the four have at least one mon that knows Hyper beam.

Oh, and the names of the Four are Locusta, Nolan, Ariel, and Simon. What do you think?

Throw out a tank, take the hit, destroy during the cool off turn.

Great! Although... Is Ariel the Flying Type? This may just be Little Mermaid influencing my choices, but Ariel seems more like a water type trainer...

See? Already a aspiring Pokémon Master of the [REGION NAME NOT FOUND] Region!

Yeah well the reason for my choice of name is, well, this: Ariel = Arial
Classic Pokémon meaningful name.

[REGION NOT FOUND] is the bestest of the region.

Makes sense to me.

Need to come up with a name at some point.

I tried to come up with as many meaningful names as possible for the Gym Leaders/Elite Four. Well except for the second Gym Leaders, their names I just gave them as a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Second Gym Leaders? There's two sets?

The second Gym has three leaders and you fight them in a Triple Battle.

Oh. Like in BW but not lame.

EXACTLY! In the fight they use Hitmontop, Hitmonchan, and Hitmonlee.

Sweet~!

Also, the order of gyms go as such:
1. Ground Type (Lead by Gaia)
2. Fighting Type (Lead by Kars, Wham, and Esidisi)
3. Dark Type (Lead by Padrino)
4. Ghost Type (Lead by Willow)
5. Steel Type (Lead by Mills)
6. Dragon Type (Lead by Cadmus)
7. Rock Type (Lead by Hammond)
8. Fire Type (Lead By Phyrra)

Ooh, there's Willow! Nice names. Loxie approved!

Excellent! Also, the Rock Type gym leader uses fossil Pokémon and owns a zoo of fossil Pokémon. Cause I love Jurassic Park

Hammond is a very paleontologist name too. Wait, does this mean you have to wait until gym 7 until you can revive fossils? Cause that's normally around 2 or 3.

I'm thinking of having it that his gym was the first one you come across but couldn't access because he was off on business somewhere. His park is where you'd go to revive fossil Pokémon as that's where the magic happens.

Ahhh, so like Giovanni and the Viridian gym. I see. He should be businessing in a cave after gym 6 looking for fossils and when you find him you chew him out for abandoning his gym and follow him back to Rock-landia.

The reason he was gone so long: Team Fractal did a hostile take over the cave while he was looking for fossils!

See, why do they always do that? Do they want fossil Pokemon? They aren't particularly powerful. They normally pop out around level 20, which is higher than rattata but much lower than anything you could find around gym #6. Sure, decent stats, but breeding dratini is much quicker and gives you pseudo-legendaries.

Team Fractal's goal is the creation of a genetically engineered super weapon of a Pokémon and are using various Pokémon to create this ultimate weapon.

Then why would they use fossilized Pokemon? Those died out.

Research material! Plus Team Plasma showed what you can do with Fossil Pokémon if you make them into weapons. Why not cover that base?

And that turned out well. Every time someone tries to make Pokemon genetic weapons, they end up rampaging and destroying half a city.

Team Fractal covered that base as well as they are also looking into mind control. The end result they hope for is to create a weapon demonstrate it then mass produce them and sell them off to various cities and towns as insurance for in case of rampaging Pokémon or criminal organizations like the other Teams start to get out of hand.

So they're pretty much doing what every defense force in the world is doing, but because they're being mean to animals, they're evil. Yeah, that's Pokemon.
