      They designed so many daek types with physical focus despite it being special attack, and so many ghost types with special focus despite it being attack focused. This while considering the strict stat hierarchy pokemon had followed for years.

    This is such an insane concept. The only sad thing is the vanishing-pokémon-part, since that forces you to end up with a team you would have used in a normal playthrough anyway, but I guess it's the thorough thing to do. (Also the fact that it says "condolences!" instead of congratulations whenever one of your pokémon devolves is so funny to me)

    Feeling emotional, the trainer wanted this moment to last forever and after a long journey and hard work, he finally became the champion of Hoenn. Wallace, realizing the desire of the trainer, gives him a device that'd allow him to return at this moment any time he wanted. Brendan presses the button, and everything starts to go backwards. A guy who understands his situation, says the only way of fixing that is restarting his journey. He returns to his town, to only fight again his first battle and lose his loved torchic. After that he leaves hoenn, asking himself if the whole work to achieve that was worth it. The time returns to normal, but this time he decides to never leave Johto, May's dad never got rescued. None ever defated the champion.
    Now Wallace finally got his ravange and NEVER turned into a forgotten champion.

    Do you know how pokemon physical and special attacks worked in gens 1-3? Intimidate on salamence didn't matter since it was using dragon moves anyways, meaning it was using it's special attack, not it's attack. This is also why alakazam's shadow ball did pathetic damage, since it's ghost type, ergo physical (yes, ghost is physical)
