Sure, let’s dive right in. Here we go!

So, here we are talking about Pokémon, right? I mean, it’s like everyone has their favorites, but figuring out which one is going to be a beast in battle… that’s a whole other story. Sometimes the underdogs, the ones you least expect, come out on top just because they’ve got the right moves at the right time. But nah, that’s not really flying with Pokémon GO, is it? Niantic’s version is like Pokémon lite—stripped down for speed. Speed! Hah—ironic considering we’re talking about how it’s missing, right?
Anyway, where was I? Yeah, so with Pokémon GO, you lose a bunch of stuff. Moves, abilities, things that make some Pokémon like, super cool elsewhere. Someone like Accelgor? Totally neutered. It’s almost like… all the stuff that makes it rad in other games is just—poof—gone.
There’s this picture… Shelmet in the anime or something. Okay, side note—I can’t stop thinking about the weird squish noise its shell might make in real life. Does anyone else think about these things? No? Moving on.
Speed, man! It’s like in real battles, that’s the edge. Not just Speed, but if you combine it with other stuff… like power! Boom, you’re golden. But Pokémon GO just went and took that Speed and said “Bye, Felicia” to it. I don’t know why—maybe to make it more simple? Who knows what they were thinking.
Ah right… photos of Accelgor going flashy-flash. Anyone else picture it trying to outrun its own shadow? Just me? Cool.
Here’s a thing… like, obvious picks win big. Legendary folks, those starters—big dogs in the Pokémon world. I mean, they’re called pseudo-Legendaries for a reason, right? Mega evolves and poof! They’re even cooler now. But really, what about the little guy? Like Accelgor or Ninjask? They could shine—just give them their speed back. As if they could speed up gameplay… has anyone thought of this? Maybe not.
But get this, speed isn’t just about battles. No, really, it can help in other ways! Like… Oh! Walking a Buddy Pokémon to earn Candy. Imagine if speed helped get that candy quicker—like a prize for being a speedster. Eggs too! Got a fast Pokémon? Maybe that egg takes a little less time to hatch. It’s like they hustle for you.
Man, remember Deoxys in Speed Forme? Total Speed demon. If GO decides to add Speed? Guaranteed that thing would rule the roost in all kinds of mad ways.
Speaking of chaos… jumping back—Speed, I’m telling you, it could mix things up real good in Pokémon GO. Sure, it might blow up the balance of battles, but maybe that’s what’s needed? They added this Mega Evolution thing. So why not Speed? Not saying it’s simple, but maybe worth a shot.
I guess designers aren’t thinking about it… yet. But come on guys, wake up! This could be what the game needs. Give some Pokémon a chance to stand out instead of sticking them in the shadows. Let them blaze their own trail—or zoom down it, I should say!
Anyway, just thought I’d throw that out there. I think I was supposed to talk about something else, but oh well—you get the gist. Speed’s where it’s at!
