Alright, so I’m diving into the world of Pokémon here. You know, where some monsters are like “Hey, I’m gonna be awesome in battles!” but then, boom, reality hits. Especially in Pokémon GO. I mean, Niantic’s mobile version shakes things up a lot. Like, forget about that crazy arsenal of moves from the old games. It’s more like a simple “swipe and tap” kinda deal. But hey, maybe there’s some hope for those Pokémon that get the short end of the stick here.
And speaking of short sticks, can we talk about Accelgor? I remember seeing it zoom around with that massive Speed stat in other games, but here? Not so much. Like, its main thing was speed, right? Just to be clear, speed’s not everything. You could have the fastest car and still lose a race if you’re skidding everywhere. Anyway, in Pokémon GO, Accelgor might as well be wearing lead boots. Its main claim to fame kinda evaporates. But imagine if GO decided to spice things up a bit and actually care about Speed. That’d be a game-changer, right?
Legendaries and those starter Pokémon always steal the spotlight. It’s like, “Make room everyone, here comes the celeb cast!” This leaves little space for Pokémon like Accelgor, Ninjask, or Greninja. I mean, they’ve got speed for days in other games. Imagine if Pokémon GO was like, “Hey, let’s make Speed a thing again!” You’d have these speedy guys doing something cool for once.
And not to go totally off track, but what if Speed affected not just battles? Picture this: you’re walking with your Pokémon buddy and suddenly, boom, it’s hatching eggs faster! Talk about motivation to get out there and walk. High-speed Pokémon could help you gather Candy quicker too. Just a random thought, but maybe it’ll happen one day.
Now, I’m no game developer, but adding Speed to Pokémon GO isn’t exactly like flipping a switch. It could mess up existing balance, sure. But is Pokémon GO afraid of shaking things up? They’ve got Mega Evolutions now, right? So hey, maybe this Speed idea isn’t too far out there.
Anyway, I doubt Speed’s on the drawing board right now at Niantic HQ. But wouldn’t it be wild if it was? Some of those Pokémon waiting for their time to shine might finally get their moment in the sun. Who knows, right?
