Hi everyone!

I'm Memo326, also known as Grumpig (on Serebii.net) or MemoDLSG (on many other places). I've been a member of Bulbapedia for... I don't remember how long. Yes, I know, and I'm just starting my User page now. It's just that I wasn't sure what I wanted to write every time I started... In fact, I don't know what to write now, I'm just writing whatever comes into my head. (Things like that are why I mainly edit articles and not write new ones from scratch).

Me in Bulbapedia

I'm not a regular contributor, as is probably apparent, but I like to help out occasionally and make this place more organized and complete. I mainly focus on articles about the animé and the games, and filling in info of one medium in a page of the other if it should be there (like Saturn's Toxicroak, for example).

About me

About me, well... I'm an 18-year-old Mexican male, as is apparent from the userboxes. I'm currently a senior in high school (12th grade/6to semestre/3ero de prepa/however they call the last year of high school wherever you live), and I'm also in the IBO program (I'd spell it out but I can't. I dare you to get it right. =P)

I've been a Pokémon fan since I was 8 or 9 or 7 years old (can't remember); you know, back then when it was popular, and everyone at school had Pokémon TCG cards and Tazos and watched the Pokémon animé. I just kept on with it. Well, actually I had stopped being a fan when I was like 12, but then Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire came out and I just had to buy one... and of course a GBA SP to go with them. (I got all my handheld consoles to primarily to play Pokémon, though I've enjoyed other games as well). I'm mainly a fan of the games now, though I've recently started to watch the DP animé (in Japanese, but subbed, as I don't understand a word of it).

About my other interests... Well, I'm a gamer, and own a PS2 (hardly used now), Wii, DS and Xbox360. I constantly have games I've bought that I haven't played, games I'd like to play but haven't bought (because I already have many I haven't played), and things like that, because I love being thorough in my games, and using guides as less as possible (though I usually give in at least once per game).

And... that's about it, for now. I probably won't update this in a while, but maybe I will. I don't know.

Game Things I'd Change

New section! In here I'll list the game mechanics/moves/Pokémon stats/types/etc. I'd like to be changed in the core Pokémon games. Some are realistic and some are practically impossible; some are original or heavily modified ideas while some are some other dude's (or dudette's). Read and enjoy.

I might make this its own subpage if it gets too long, but for now, it's here.

Status ailments

Before you get alarmed, I wouldn't completely change status ailments. However, I'd make some significant changes to Freezing. First, it would get its own move and, instead of being a hard-to-get-out-of sleep, would work more like Paralysis, making the Pokémon only able to move sometimes, and reducing Special Attack. Think of it as a 'brainfreeze', and since some Special Attacks have to do with the mind... This would 'nerf' Freezing, so to speak, making it 'fair' for it to have its own move that exclusively freezes, and would give a Special Attack-based equivalent to burn.

I used to think Confusion should be upgraded to 'official' status ailment too, but... not anymore. It'd be strange, really, because it would have to have so many exceptions to what regular status ailments do..

Now, a neat table encompassing my hypothetical status ailments, with some invented abilities thrown in.

Status ailment	Visible effect	Invisible effect	Wears out?	Causing ability	Immune ability	Curing berry
Paralysis	Unable to attack 25% of the time	Speed is cut to 25% of original value	No	Static	Limber	Cheri Berry
Sleep	Unable to attack	None	Yes, in 1-4 turns	Effect Spore	Insomnia and Vital Spirit	Chesto Berry
Poison	Regular: Takes 1/8th of total HP each turn. Bad: Takes 1/16th of total HP the first turn, and an additional 1/16th every turn.	None	No	Poison Point	Immunity	Pecha Berry
Burn	Takes 1/8th of total HP each turn.	Attack is cut to 50% of original value	No	Flame Body	Water Veil	Rawst Berry
Freeze	Unable to attack 25% of the time	Special Attack is cut to 50% of original value	No	Frost	Magma Armor	Aspear Berry

Now, for the moves that cause them... Each status would have one 'main' attack, so to speak, that causes it, which would be one of the first 5 TM's, similar to how the ailment-curing berries are the first. They would all have the same stats (yes, I'm that much of an order freak). Here's a table for it:

TM	Name	Type	Category	Pwr.	Acc.	PP
TM01	Thunder Wave	Electric	Status	—	75%	15
TM02	Hypnosis	Psychic	Status	—	75%	15
TM03	Toxic	Poison	Status	—	75%	15
TM04	Will-O-Wisp	Fire	Status	—	75%	15
TM05	Arctic Chill	Ice	Status	—	75%	15

Now, for the other exclusively status-inducing moves... I'd think they deserve to be "better" in a sense since they'd be not so common, not being TM's unlike the ones above. (This is one of the reasons I put a low-ish accuracy on those.)

Powder Moves

First, the powders. I don't like how Sleep Powder, PoisonPowder, and Stun Spore seem to be parallel moves but fall short thanks to PP, naming, and types (two are grass while one is poison). Also Spore is too similar to Sleep Powder, except of course for the accuracy. This, together with what I've already mentioned about making them better, would lead me to changing and merging those three into:

Name	Type	Category	Pwr.	Acc.	PP
Sleep Powder	Grass	Status	—	95%	10
Stun Spore	Bug	Status	—	95%	10
Poison Dust	Poison	Status	—	95%	10

Now, with Sleep Powder's higher accuracy, Spore wouldn't be necessary (the Paras and Shroomish lines could easily learn Sleep Powder instead). Also, Stun Spore would be Bug-typed so that all three would be different types (Yes, more Grass types learn it than Bug types, but this applies also to PoisonPowder, now Dust). PoisonPowder's name change would also add to the parallelism of the moves.

I might add some more stuff later.
