I just blew your mind, didn't I?

How would that even look? Or let alone make sense for all 150.
I mean, I can envision Machamp and a few others. But the majority of them from the first game?
I want pictures Nintendo!

What about -mons like Feraligatr, Garchomp, Rhyperior, Groudon or Tyranitar? Didn't Pokemon jump off the cute boat a few years ago?

I think it's been on the same boat it always has been on, a pokemon begins cute than gets tougher looking as it grows.
There are some exceptions of course.

In fact, when Pokemon was first hitting shelves and Tamagotchis and virtual pets were all the craze (man I miss my Digimon), there were these Muscle Men virtual pets that you could 'raise' and then get to battle each other. Got no name or references on me, just memories.
I guess its pretty safe to say that one of these ideas was good, and one was pretty fail.

No no. If that was a joke, it went over my head.
There was digimon in their little green virtual pet casings, that you could link and battle with other people.
But then there was these honest to goodness muscle men that you bulked up and could do the same with. I think they could even 'sense' if they were near each other (two kids passing by in a store with game in pockets) or something.

Sadly, I never knew anyone who had a fighter for my Alley Rumbler. :(

NaNo Fighter??!?!? Seriously, the same people who taught us how to take care of a pocket sized baby?
Wow. Thanks guys. Sorry to bring up painful memories. I found my Tamagotchi V.2 the other day and put new batteries in him before silently smothering him under a box of closet stuff a few days later. I forgot how annoying those things were.

Don't feel bad. I never found anyone to fight my digimon either.
