This is what they took from us
Finding out that Raichu had an evolution in gen 1 that got cut has retroactively ruined my childhood
They could've put this glorious golden god in gen 2 but we got fucking pichu instead
Baby Pokémon, while (mostly) adorable, were a mistake
Elekid rocks
Mega-Evolutions were the answer. They gave old/underpowered Pokemon new utility and made them interesting. So of course Game Freak had to ditch the whole concept...
Commas, commas everywhere!
