I can live with the new forme. As long as it is toggleable between each, after all, I keep my Giratina in mainly its Ghost form. Not sure where are the viritol is coming from though. I figured this would be as good as any other way to reintroduce Gen 1 to the current Pokemon fans who may or may not be familiar with R/G/B/Y. It might be sign of things to come games wise.

The phrase "if it isn't broke don't fix it" comes to mind.

And it still isn't. It's just a forme. You can alternate if you WANT to. Same as all the other Pokemon with formes.

Personally i dont mind this if it is a form for mewtwo. Although there is also the rumor that its a new pokemon all together, which wouldnt be bad either.

When Deoxys was introduced his form was determined by what game you had, the player unable to change it without trading it to another cartridge until the advent of Gen 4.

There is a precedence for having the player unable to select which form they want. While recent games haven't been form locking, we don't know if they're giving the player a choice in the matter, yet.

Also, the "Ain't broke/don't fix it" mentality stems from Mewtwo's stats, where the only area he's lacking being defenses (At 90 instead of 100). For Mewtwo, there's really not much reason to change him.

So well, it turns out that it is a new Mewtwo forme after all. I guess it was to be expected but kind of a shame.

Has anyone been watching the new Pokemon series episodes? They are surprisingly good! I don't think I've ever seen Pokemon take a more story-driven approach like this. It actually has me hooked to see how N's story progresses in the anime. Plus Charizard is back and we will be seeing a legendary play a more critical role in the series. What brought about this change I wonder?

Charizard, eh? I watched movie 15 at the weekend so I might start this again.

I watched Charizard's return episode a few weeks back. It's good to see him back on the team.
Anyway, I find it ironic that Ash has Pikachu and Charizard on his team when the games made it a point to not include any past gen Pokemon.

Yeah, I think it's just for fanservice (get your heads out of the gutter! :mad:) that Charizard is back. Pikachu, however, is the mascot of Pokémon, and Nintendo likes milking their franchises. A lot. So Pikachu can NEVER leave.
