  With the Kalos Elite Four fixed, which region should I move on to next? I'm thinking Hoenn, specifically ORAS, to continue the mega evolution theme, but would you rather see a different region get an upgrade? Let me know!

  If only Game Freak give Talonflame, Aegislash, and Niovern Mega Evolution forms. Good on Pokémon Legends Z-A giving Barbaracle a Mega Evolution.

  I feel some Steel moves on Drasna’s team would be appreciated.

  I feel like Probopass is actually a beautiful fit for Wikstrom! It shows magnetic north, which fits his "true north" morality perfectly!

  Probopass is a great fit for Wikstrom’s team. I always saw his team as mundane objects in his inventory, akin to a RPG adventurer’s. <br><br>He has keys, scissors, a compass and his shield and sword. Escavalier would be his armor.

  I almost feel like Mega Ampharos would be a fitting addition to Drasna’s team, even though he’s not organically a dragon. Fits the majestic vibe.

  in order to make them better their first fight need to give them 5 Pokemon with four moves each, and 1 Mega evo from XY (not ORAS)<br><br>and give them BDSP level competitive stats and items.

  I’ve heard some people blame BW for starting the short-lived trend of the E4 only having four Pokémon as opposed to the usual 5, but it was done in BW out of necessity due to the lack of Pokémon in their respective typings. They could’ve thrown in repeat species to get up to 5 Pokémon each, but it’s clear to me that they were trying their hardest to avoid that with Elesa and Drayden/Iris being the only exceptions in the entire region (not sure why that’s the case considering Joltik, Tynamo, and Deino exist, but whatever). The tradeoff for this is the first E4 to use a full team of six for their postgame fights.<br>As for B2W2, I’d imagine Game Freak didn’t want to change the E4’s teams to show that they don’t need to change up their teams by adding ‘new’ Pokémon since they’re already the best of the best with the teams they have. The sole exception is Shauntal since Marlin has a Jellicent so she instead has a Drifblim as a replacement.<br><br>But XY? ZERO excuses for each E4 member to only have four Pokémon each. Out of the four types, Fire is the least plentiful in Kalos and yet there’s still TEN lines to choose from. XY was the first game after B2W2 to really embrace a focus on cross-generational team building rather than a heavy focus on the new ‘mons, and yet none of the NPCs in the game take advantage of that. Not only are overall team sizes small across the board even towards the endgame, but outside of battle facilities like the Chateau and Maison, there are 34 entire lines of Pokémon that go COMPLETELY unused by even the basic trainer NPCs and that’s WITHOUT counting legendaries and mythicals.
