Can we add the fact that certain pokemon are only able to evolve if you have them in an earlier game to this list? We're in Generation 9 now. Yet a handful of new evolve forms introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus to past pokemon can only be obtained by having said pokemon be brought back to said game first. Not only is this frustrating for people who either don't have a copy of Legends: Arceus or access to Pokemon HOME. But also leaves a major plothole in the Indigo Disc campaign regarding the presence of wild kleavor despite the method to evolve a scyther into one requires an item only available in L:A.

Regarding control stick spinning when cooking curry; when does doing that come anywhere close to the urgency of Mario Party 1 minigames? If you need to use your palm when cooking curry, you might want to get some of the NPC campers to help you, because they probably didn't design the cooking for you to destroy your hand to make curry.

Given all the discourse surrounding it, this page is going to be absolutely overflowing when Sword and Shield officially come out, isn't it?

Not really, because the only new mechanics causing problems are the lack of the national dex, gigantamaxing, and some odd move omissions, all of which can be summarized without flooding the page with entries.

I haven't played the game, so I don't know for certain, but consider this bit:

"In Battle Royals, NPC contenders also frequently tend to gain up on a single opponent as the match ends when one person has all of their Pokémon faint. That single opponent is often the player, especially at higher levels."

Wouldn't that be "gang up"?

Pokemon Go has its own page now so can we cut that folder?

I get that these pages are supposed to be opinion, but this page especially is basically just "Here's a list of every mechanic the Pokemon franchise has ever used."

Does the Game Corner really qualify as a Scrappy Mechanic? I know how frustrating it can be to get Porygon, but from what I've seen more people seem to be annoyed that it's gone than happy about it.

I don't believe that Stadium has an anti cheat mechanic or anything, just your pokemon's name highlighted in purple. Many people I know have used a r/b save file with missing no in their party! Evidence please?

Despite the image, I'm a console gamer. Fuck me, right?

I hate that some Pokémon have two Abilities. Whenever I try to obtain one, I often get the inferior ability until Arceus knows how many times I restart. It's so irritating!

That's great and all, but what does it have to do with the page itself? Discussion pages are supposed to be about issues with the page itself, rather then the topic.

I think it's being asked if it the "desired ability" is a widely held enough complaint to qualify for this page. Is that so?

Then it could be added to the page itself. the Random Number Generator is a cruel and evil mistress.
