Sure thing, here’s a human-like spin on that article for you:

So, here’s the thing about Pokémon games — you never really know which critter is gonna be the superstar in battles. I mean, sometimes, those off-the-wall ones with just the right moves rock the scene. But Pokémon GO? Eh, not so much. Niantic’s made it all about simplicity, snatching away all those intricate details. Abilities? Gone. Held items? Forget it. And don’t even get me started on type immunities. It’s like they put these poor Pokémon on a diet, taking away all their cool tricks.
And then there’s Accelgor. Poor guy. He’s like, super fast, right? Or at least he was supposed to be, before Pokémon GO stripped him of his Speed — kinda his whole thing! Maybe they could give him a break and bring back some of his mojo.
Oh, also, check out this pic of Shelmet from the anime. So random, but I remember noticing it for some reason. Does anyone else think it’s got a weirdly determined vibe? Or maybe that’s just me.
But back to Speed. Speedy Pokémon, those guys used to steal the show by going first. Now? It’s like, “meh.” Speed isn’t everything, but man, it sure counts when you wanna blitz through battles. Accelgor’s Speed was a blazing 145, which is nuts compared to its special attack. It’s not alone in this Speed loss saga, though. A reboot of this stat might just shake things up.
And oh boy, Speed in Pokémon GO. Mostly, the biggies, like the legendaries, end up on top anyway. It’s like they got some VIP fast pass or something. But, you give someone like Accelgor or Ninjask their Speed back in some form, and bam — instant game changer, right?
Right now, GO battles are about quick charging and cooldowns. Imagine if Speed tweaked those a bit? High-Speed Pokémon could zip through quick move charges and make their move like, instantly. Might be fun to actually have fast Pokémon act, well, fast for a change.
And hey, what if Speed mattered outside battles? Like, your Pokémon’s Speed could mean you need to walk less for Candy. I know, sounds wild. But imagine hatching Eggs with speedy Pokémon taking some of that distance off. Wouldn’t that be something?
Of course, Deoxys’ Speed Forme would totally be the king if they added Speed properly. Its Speed is insane — way above any other.
Anyway, Speed in Pokémon GO would be such a wild twist. Could totally wreck things if not done right, but hey, Niantic’s known for bold moves — like Mega Evolutions and all that jazz. So, why not shake it up a bit more?
Right now, probably not on the front burner for Niantic, I guess. But who knows? Maybe Speed will end up being that hidden gem that makes a few of these Pokémon the unexpected rockstars we never saw coming.
