Alright, so here we are diving into the whirlwind that is Pokémon and how it all plays out differently in Pokémon GO. You know, the usual charm of Pokémon games where you never really know which critter’s going to be the underdog hero, right? Not so much in Pokémon GO, though. Niantic, being all about that mobile life, kind of chopped down on all the cool complexities. It’s like they took a scalpel to the franchise – leaving out abilities, held items, type immunities, you name it. Heck, some Pokémon like Accelgor feel like they’ve had their wings clipped. But hey, doesn’t mean Niantic can’t turn things around!
And speaking of speed, oh boy, it’s like the racing heart of some Pokémon. Speedsters in the main games can dictate battles like nobody’s business. But here in Pokémon GO? Well, let’s just say Speed decided to take a back seat… or a nap. Accelgor, poor thing, had this insane base Speed of 145. Now it’s all like, “What do you mean my speed’s gone?” And it’s not flying solo with its woes, you know?
Now, imagine this: Pokémon GO spicing things up with a fresh take on Speed. Crazy, right? Like, what if Speed could mess with Charge Move times or buddy up with Fast Moves? Maybe Pokémon with a need for speed could zip through the Candy distances faster or hatch Eggs like they’re in a hurry. Can you see Speed Forme Deoxys leaving everyone in the dust? That’d be a sight!
But there’s a kicker – adding Speed could make, like, a tornado in balance city! Yet, GO’s been down the bumpy road of bold moves before. Mega Evolution? Dynamax? Nailed it, mostly. So, Speed? Could be the wildcard we didn’t see coming.
The next time you pull out your phone to catch ’em all, who knows? Maybe you’ll find Speed’s become the new kid on the block in Pokémon GO. It might just make some Pokémon strut their stuff like never before. 🌟
