Pokemon Sucks

I used to like playing Pokemon and it's still a good game, but it's not getting any better. It's stale. You are very much doing the same thing over and over again. When you pick up a new pokemon game, it feels like you haven't put down the last one. The next Pokemon game is always the same except you, your rival, and your world renowned scientist sponsor look different. They got around to changing the name of the villainous organization from Team Rocket to Team Butt-Crack. Nintendo or the creative team behind Pokemon needs to do something different besides adding new functions of gameplay. Here's an idea of mine I'll let you have provided you credit me.

Here We Go:
The new region has been conquered by Team Butt-Crack. Pokemon training is outlawed and has gone underground. Your hero wants to become a trainer none-the-less, as many young, spirited people do. A new Pokemon League Challenge exists as the Underground Pokemon Circuits. You won't be able to get in unless you can earn trust of a member of the circuit who can vouch for you. There's no longer a PokeCenter, PokeMart, or Gym. Now, each town has a building or an area with a secret back room or underground or etc where the kludge pokemon medical facility is located, the pokemon item black market, as well as being the place where trainers meet to exchange news and battle each other. Instead of collecting badges from gym leaders, at each of these town's secret pokemon place, you battle against local trainers for small objects which are treated much the same as badges, but are actually random objects easily taken for junk by the Butt-Crack members who police every town and route such as a key chain, a bottle cap, or a shoe lace with a zelda/mario/megaman aglet.

Be careful where you get into battles with wild pokemon, because if you're seen battling by members of team butt-crack, you get arrested and have to bride them with half your money. There are some places where members of Team Butt-Crack don't go, such as "dungeons" and small secret areas off of various routes where you can search for wild pokemon or battle other trainers in peace. In some cases, you can pay people to distract Team Butt-Crack members so you can battle. The object of the game is to eventually take down Team Butt-Crack. As you win in the underground pokemon circuits, you gain a reputation and the greater your reputation, the more interesting you become to the secret pokemon rebellion. After they recruit you, you begin some small missions where you might rescue captured pokemon or deliver messages to arrested trainers. Eventually, you're laying siege to Team Butt-Crack strongholds and offices with some other prevalent members of the resistance. You'll eventually liberate the whole region one town at a time. After finally defeating Team Butt-Crack, you win. In the epilogue, you are a popular hero and you're free to pursue the real pokemone league challenge by revisiting the towns and taking on the newly revived pokemon gyms. Then it's off to Victory Road and Indigo Plateau to become the Pokemon Master. Why not?

Now that's a pokemon game I would play. Seriously, new story.

Here's another reason why Pokemon games sucks: All the new pokemon they can come up with are stupid and stupid looking. If you look at pokemon stats or move lists, most new pokemon suck outright. If you want the best team, it's a matter of getting pokemon with good moves that match their types and suit their stats. I believe everyone who chose Treeko knows what I'm talking about. He's a grass pokemon with high Special. That's a problem because he only gets moves that do damage with the attack stat. The pokemon is completely useless late game. There's a huge lack of strong grass type moves that do damage with the special stat anyway and they're crippled with small PP amounts or they take two turns. Also, this pokemon doesn't learn any grass type moves that damage with the attack stat, and can't be taught any of them either not that there are any. He's garbage, and that problem is not unique to this one pokemon. Lots of pokemon are all goofed up like this. How hard is it to make a pokemon that isn't broken? Everyone knows grass type pokemon all suck anyway, but you pick Treeko as your starter because it's the only one that isn't ugly.
