Characters Speculation/Discussion Thread

[Shraeder]

I think there shouldn't be just one team, nor two teams like in RSE. Maybe four teams: Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, and Cytosine. In Pokémon X, Adenine and Thymine have different goals. The Adenine Association want to take over the world, while the Thymine Corps want to preserve peace. In Pokémon Y, the Cytosine Force preserve the peace and the Guanine Gauntlet strive to take over the world.
In Z, the Adenine Association and Guanine Gauntlet are gone, but they combine to make the Uracil Federation.

Maybe just Adenine in X, Guanine in Y, and Uracil in Z? That way there's only 1 team per game.
Total speculation, unlike most of my posts with reasons and explanations.

[GenosectArceus]

Ahh, it seems interesting, but four teams is quite a lot. But, once I think about the battles and all that marvelous EXP, how can I say no?

You won't be battling Thymine and Cytosine teams, just Adenine and Guanine, making it balanced since grunts from Thymine and Cytosine will help you battling Adenine and Guanine grunts.

Maybe just Adenine in X, Guanine in Y, and Uracil in Z? That way there's only 1 team per game.

That's what I meant. Adenine and Guanine are evil teams, while Thymine and Cytosine are your aides in the games.

So last gen we had the very forgettable Amanita. Didn't much like her PC model.
Don't even remember the Sinnoh person if there was one, that's how disappointing he/she was.

Bill, of course, is too old to be updating the PC.
So that leaves us with the "new person" option, which could happen as the games are now 3D so who knows what the PC's gonna be like.
Or we bring back Lanette, who's PC Box system was simply superb compared to all the newest remodels.

Save for Amanita's Battle Box. That was nice.

[R_N]

The only thing Lanette's system has over the others was the Select all option. Which BW2 re-implimented
Actually, BW2 probably has the best box in the series. Mass moving is back, the side-screen box list makes moving things easier (this was in BW1 but details), and the search function was massively improved

by which i mean THERE'S AN ACTUAL SEARCH FUNCTION. I think it could still deal with some tweaks but it's wonderful.

I dunno, I miss the way moving Pokemon worked in the 3rd gen.
Nowadays, you select one Mon, put it where another Mon is, and they trade places.
3rd gen, you select a Mon, put it where another Mon is, and the 2nd Mon goes to your hand.

Or maybe there's a way around this annoyance and I'm just behind on the times.

It's not much of a difference is it ? It is still comfortable enough to move the pokemon.

[YellowHat's Revenge]

It's actually a huge difference. Say you want to move a Pokemon from Box 5 to a certain spot in Box 1. That spot it occupied, and you wanna move the current occupant elsewhere (just not to Box 5).
But whattaya know, Amanita's PC decides to move it to Box 5 for you anyway.

Little things like that irk me cos I've got a tame but ever-present self-diagnosed case of OCD.

Maybe I never notice it coz, I never had 5 boxes of pokemon :P. At the max I would have 2. I'm too lazy to catch all of em.
The only game I had more boxes was my Sapphire ( I had 10 boxes )

[YellowHat's Revenge]

I am a stickler for organizing my Mons. It's gotta be in such a way.

And I used to be the same as you, barely any boxes full since Leafgreen.
But I've made it my mission to catch 'em all in White 2, so the ol' collection's growing.

[R_N]

Even with the lack of switch what you're holding I still find BW2's box as a huge improvement over the gen 3 box.
I'm usually moving large swaths if I move anything, anyway.

[YellowHat's Revenge]

In that case, I say that the 6th Gen PC should have more customizable options as to how the UI can work. That way we can please the me's and the you's. haha

We are kinda going off topic. This is the character thread not the gameplay thread.
Anyway, I have a feeling Hilbert or Nate will return in Gen 6 just like Red came back in Gen 2.

They could appear, but I don't know really. How many times has the previous protagonist appeared in the next game other than Red? I'd like if they did, but it depends on X and Y's storyline really.

Eh, if you ask me, I'd rather have someone like N or some other non-main character show up. I feel that they already had the chance to make Hilda and Hilbert come back in BW2 but they blew it. Especially when they had the memory link feature in that game.

Edit: the only two games that have main characters showing back up are GSC and BW2. Coincidentally, they're both Red.

Yea, I was really bummed that I couldn't battle my previous self on top of some mountain somewhere.

I personally hope it doesn't. Fighting "myself" feels plain weird. It was also fine in gen 2, since the gender wasn't optional, Red didn't talk, and there just isn't enough iconic pokemon in gen 5. Maybe Zoroark/Three-Starters, and maybe a dragon depending on the version, but I'm not sure what would take up the last one or two slots. No more gift pokemon like Lapras or road blocks in Snorlax in that game. Okay, Crustle I guess, but that doesn't effect the one with the dragon, so we've still got nothing.

And I can't stand the name Hilbert. I don't know why. I just can't.

Coincidentally, they're both Red.

Not a coincident at all. The only reason they added him was because he was the "hidden champion" from G/S/C. Hence the champion's tournament.

I seriously wouldn't be surprised if Cynthia appears. I want her to, but I wouldn't be surprised if she would. She'd probably has a villa somewhere. xD

Wow. Red's one popular dude.

She has been in every game since her creation. She needs to take a break if you ask me.

well at first it is supposed to be a discussion of the new "PC box professor", but then people start discussing the PC box instead.
