A Bunch of What-Ifs...
I don't know if you guys ever answer questions on yahoo questions or not, but the other day someone asked about what changes would make pokemon better. I'm going to post my answer in a reply to this question so as not to make this post too long. Nevertheless, what would you change about pokemon to make it better in the 5th generation?

1) I would make rare candies an item you could purchase at the main store town (veilstone or whatever that place will be in the future). The reason for this is that iv breeding and ev training are very exciting and I don't mind putting in the work required to get a good pokemon, but leveling up pokemon after attaining the effort ribbon is one of the most annoying aspects of the game. I would make them roughly the same price (maybe a little bit more) as vitamins.
2) I would make the underground wifi compatible (which I believe is coming).
3) I would make the wifi environment a little more customizable so that clauses could actually be enforced and also incorporate a rating system so I can tell when someone's a noob or not before starting the battle.
4) I would bring back the move tutor and also give every type a priority move or at least give more pokemon access to priority moves.
5) I would change the resistances for ice types simply because there is no combination of types currently available aside from ice/ghost that truly helps it out defensively. Almost every combination of ice is 4x weak to something. Although ice/dragon would be kinda awesome especially if its ability was levitate.
6) I would give every pokemon the potential to choose between two abilities.
7) I would create more abilities that work like "flash fire." For example, "solidify" if a rock type pokemon gets hit with a rock type move including stealth rock.
8) I would add one or two more ground type pokemon with high sp. atk base stats.
9) I would make steel types able to remove spikes the way poison types can remove toxic spikes.
10) While I like the way some pokemon look as shinies, some pokemon have really ugly shiny versions, so I would hope they would do more to make all shiny sprites more interesting (and thus more worth trying to get).
11) Finally, or at least all I can think about for now, I would make the trainer more customizable like mii's are on the wii. It would be nice to make a trainer that actually looks like me.
I almost forgot, and this is truly the most important thing...I would make hacking pokemon impossible [or really, really difficult]. I realize that the people who make action replay and pokesav would be out of money, but I am SO tired of trying to figure out when someone is using (or trying to trade me) hacked pokemon.
1) A Dark/Psychic Pokemon. Or better yet, have at least a dual type of every two types. So 289 (17*17) - the current dual types - 17 (since you can't have [bug][bug] Pokemon).
1) I disagree, I think that would make leveling too easy, and take away the achievement of getting a legit lvl 100.
Honestly it doesn't take long when done properly. Some people think the elite 4 is the fastest way to get XP, but there is a better way. You need 1 lucky egg, obviously for the 1.5 xp boost. And also get 5 lvl 91+ phanpys, which is easy to get over the gts. Then train in them in the fighting or resort area. As you train the phanpys will pick up rare candies and other items. Depending on how much xp the pokemon needs and what lvl it's at, you'll only have to train the pokemon to lvl 75-85, and you'll have enough rare candies to finish it off.
2) agree
3)agree + allow you to battle with random people online
4)mostly agree, as long as the priotity moves don't ruin game balance.
5)I think ice is fine as it, although it's not a good defensive type, ice type attack has great coverage.
6)Makes breeding easier, and lesser of an accomplishment.
7)solidify would make rapid spinners less valuable, and electivire, ruins electric attacks with motor drive. I don't think they should make any more abilities like that.
8)agree
9)that also makes rapid spinners less valuable which i don't like, but I think they should keep the poison type spike removal thing, because its considered one of the worst types in the game
10)totally agree, lol, most non shiney sprites look better
11)agree
and as for hacking, you just can't stop it, not to say they shouldnt try to, but someone will always get by
