Pokemon Then V.S. Now

Pokemon, the world where you will most likely run into wild and weird creatures immediately. This article is to inform you that they still exist. Paldea has taken over the internet with its glitches and will continue to take over the internet. What about the first Golbat sprite when it was all over the place. How about Mega evolution and not terrastilizing into other types. When ghost type was really good unless it was fighting a psychic type like kadabra. With the Paldea region just coming out this means that more and more people are forgetting about Kanto, Johto, Kalos and all the old regions.
This is Gigantamax Gengar
Gimmicks: There have been a lot of gimmicks for pokemon games since X and Y. The gimmicks usually make a pokemon stronger. These gimmicks include Mega evolution, Z moves, Gigantamax, Strong style, Agile style, and Terrastilizing. In Kalos mega evolution is once your pokemon has a different form like it looks different then how it usually looks like mega charizard Y. In Alola they have Z moves which is a special move that is stronger than a basic move they have for their own move set. In Galar the gimmick is gigantamaxing where you make your pokemon big but only certain pokemon like venusaur. Strong style and Agile style are from Hisui and have weird mechanics to them. Strong style and Agile style you use with mastered move. Strong style makes a move stronger instead of the base power. Agile style makes the pokemon move twice in a row. There isn't a restriction of if you can use Strong style the second move of your Agile style move. Paldea just came out and there is a new gimmick Terrastilizing a pokemon which is when you take a pokemon and make it one type like you could make a charizard into a grass type not much point but it is good if you need a grass type and you have a grass terrastle pokemon.
Starters: The pokemon you get for every new adventure. The types are always Grass, Fire, and Water. The fire starters are the starter that isn't very good before the fourth gym. The water starter is the starter that is good till the fourth gym. The grass starter is the pokemon that you choose because it looks cute but it might not be very good. The newest starters are Fuecoco, Quaxly, and Sprigatito. The oldest starters are Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle.
These are generation six starters from left to right: Froakie, Chespin, and Fennekin.
The opinions: Mr. Anspaugh said, “Generation one because that's the generation I knew growing up. Like the only other generation I knew would be the 2nd generation.” When I asked What is your favorite generation? I also asked Jack Grubaugh the same question and he said, “Generation three because it has my favorite starters and cards.”
That is pokemon then V.S. now.
