Thread: Pokémon Remake Discussion (Read First Post!)

I wouldn't mind the rematch teams to be something like (assuming the remakes happen in Gen V, of course):

Sidney: Shiftry, Crawdaunt, Scrafty, Absol and Hydreigon. (He has a Sharpedo in his RS team but Crawdaunt in his Emerald; as Grimsley has one, I doubt they'd want to give Sidney one. Scrafty's there for type coverage though).
Phoebe: Gengar, Banette, Dusknoir, Sableye and Rotom (It would be cool if, in the Ruby remake, her Rotom is Wash Rotom, but in the Sapphire remake, it's Heat Rotom).
Glacia: Glalie, Cryogonal (why not? xD), Abomasnow, Froslass, Walrein.
Drake: Dragonite, Flygon, Garchomp, Kingdra, Salamence.
Steven: Skarmory, Bastiodon, Magnezone, Ferrothorn, Metagross.

Bastiodon fits Steven so well; as in RS he uses Almaldo and Cradily, obviously referencing his excavation-going-ness; Bastiodon is a fossil Pokémon - but is steel-type!

I was thinking it should be the form that is super effective against your starter pokemon, so cut rotom if you pick mudkip, heat rotom if you pick treecko and wash rotom if you pick torchic.

I think it would be cool if in rematches the E4 and Gym Leaders each of them would have 2 Gen III Pokemon and 1 from each generation.

Sidney - Houndoom Cacturne Crawdaunt Stunktank Hydreigon

Since there aren't any Gen I dark types he's better off just keeping three of his team members. Mightyena was his weakest member and Shiftry was used by too many Ace Trainers.

Phoebe - Gengar Mismagius Banette Sableye Dusknoir Chandelure

She has a Mismagius since Misdreavus is the only ghost type pokemon in Gen II.

Glacia - Cloyster Mamoswine Glalie Walrain Froslass Vanilluxe

She has a Mamoswine for the same reason as Phoebe having a Mismagius

Drake - Dragonite Kingdra Flygon Salamence Garchomp Druddigon

I only chose Flygon over Altaria because it's Winnona's main pokemon.

I think that when you first battle the Elite 4 you have to battle Steven at the end. However in the rematch Wallace is the champion and Steven is in Meteorite Falls

Wallace - Gyrados Lanturn Milotic Ludicolo Empoleon Seismitoad

Steven Stone - Steelix Skarmory Aggron Metagross Bastiodon Klinklang

It doesn't need to be too accurate...

Guys, Phoebe won't have Rotom, and if she does it'll only be regular Rotom. Remember the others aren't part Ghost types anymore?

In the first time you challenge the Elite-4, I doubt much will change.

- Sidney doesn't need to have any of his Pokemon replaced for the initial challenge, it wouldn't really benefit him much.
- Phoebe could get one of her Dusclops to evolve, but I don't care if she has two Banette. One could be an annoyer and one an actual attacker.
- One of Glacia's Glalie could be replaced by a Froslass, but the two Sealeo don't have to be removed.
- Drake was pretty good. In Emerald he had a Kingdra instead of the second Flygon, and his team was quite varied.
- Steven was good, but if the champion is Wallace it still doesn't matter. Neither of them were particular push-overs.

I don't think that it's the Pokemon that are the problem but more-so the sets they are using. Remember that a lot of their moves may get buffed (Wallace's Ludicolo's Giga Drain) or they may get new moves to replace their old moves (Drake's Altaria's Dragon Breath could now be Dragon Pulse).

Well when the point of Aqua/Magma is to change the balance of land/sea, it's kind of an important point :P

I think he's saying you dont need to be 100% accurate on real life physics in Pokemon.

I didn't forget, I was testing you!

okay...I forgot...

E4 rematch teams huh?

Sidney: Cacturne / Shiftry, Sharpedo, Absol, Honchcrow, Weavile, Skuntank
Phoebe: Banette, Dusknoir, sableye, Jellicent, mismagius, cofagrigus
Glacia: Walrein, Glalie, cryogonal, glaceon, mamoswine, delibird / froslass
Drake: Altaria, Flygon, Hydreigon, Kingdra, haxorus / druddigon, Salamence
Steven: Skarmory, Aggron, Claydol / Bastiodon / Klinklang, cradily, armaldo, metagross

Made it like that to give them the pokémon I think fit them best.

Mijzelffan, no self-respecting trainer would ever use Delibird.

Ever,

Glacia included.

Otherwise I like those teams a lot.

Personally, I wouldn't want Phoebe to use Jellicent and Cofagrigus; because Shauntel used them both. Aside from that, looks good.

Too many pure-Ghost types in Phoebes team IMO. You could probably put Chandelure, Golurk, Drifblim or Gengar in there.
The other teams look pretty fun.

I dunno, if it has Hustle + STAB Aerial Ace....

.....Oh who am I kidding, you're right, no serious trainer would use it. At least not an E4 member.

Well I want to refrain from Gengar because of Agatha, and I don't know, Golurk And Chandelure just don't fit her that well imo.

The same problem would occur when giving her Golurk or Chandelure. In that case Phoebe wouldn't have any gen V pokémon on her team, actually.

Well, I just think Delibird would fit her. Maybe Lapras. Now that I think about it, Lapras would kinda fit Glacia well too imo.

Except that Lapras is Lorelei's signature pokemon, and they will want to differentiate the two ice trainers.

Tell that to Lance who took Drake and Cynthia's signature Pokemon.
