I know I'm new here, but, I just wanna input my two cents on this issue about this guy: If he is standing by his claim for this long, and is still able to make jokes despite the continued bashing, I seriously think he's not necessarily in the wrong here. And, if it turns out he was wrong, what then? If he genuinely believed that what he is telling is to be the truth, and he may turn out to be wrong, what then? Bash and laugh at him even more because of one slip-up? I mean, don't get me wrong: I'm one of the biggest skeptics in the world, but.... No one deserves stuff like this. I seriously have been coming to this site for awhile now, but never actually joined until today. Mods/Admins, do whatever you want to me, too, but... seriously: give the guy a break. The Minotauros thing could just was indeed false (that we know) but whose to say he's wrong? Just as there's no way to prove the guy right, there's also really no way to prove him wrong, either. Even if he does turn out to be wrong, you're harping on him for being a troll when he seriously could just be trying to do something for a very devoted community that he wanted to offer something to. A little wariness is all fine and dandy, but venom kills. And, if indeed he does wind up to be a troll, don't harp on the guy so much. He may indeed still be a decent guy, but decided to do something incredibly stupid. Everyone makes mistakes... just remember that.

ANYWHO, on to the actual topic: I, for one, would LOVE to see more RPG elements brought into a mainstream Pokemon game. Pokemon was sort of the pavement for modern RPGs, what with the few (albeit also very simple decisions) presented like trades and choosing a Hitmon- and the like, not to mention that it also was a big thing in that it eliminated a world map. It helped shape and introduce go-between routes that actually helped out. I think it's about time Pokemon added something it help build. Another thing that would be cool is indeed the cobra. Snakes have often represented deceit, and deceit isn't necessarily good or evil. It resides in the gray area of things because it is a moral viewpoint and often leads to both good and bad outcomes. Granted, the green doesn't really make sense, but if it is the olive-ish color that was given as a demonstration of color, than that kinda makes sense. Olive is associated with peace, which is synonymous with the word balance. Perhaps this Pokemon is meant to offset and balance the forces of good and evil, yin and yang, when one overpowers another? Another type wouldn't be so bad, either, assuming GF doesn't screw it up. I dunno, but... I like it. Anyway, bash away at me, too, but... just wanted to voice my opinion as well. Thank you for those of you who actually bothered to even read this wall
