Sure, let’s try this out:

So Pokémon games, right? You never really know which little critter is gonna end up a star in battles. Sometimes the weirdest ones pull through if you give ’em the right moveset. Pokémon GO? It’s kinda different. Niantic’s mobile game takes the whole battling thing and, well, strips it down. No crazy mechanics or items, just keeping it simple for us on-the-move type folks. That means some of our favorites like Accelgor, yeah, they kinda lose their edge. But hey, who’s to say Pokémon GO can’t spice things up a bit?
Anyway, there are these Pokémon where speed’s their thing. Like, they’re fast. Super fast. But in Pokémon GO, poor Accelgor can’t flaunt its speed of 145 ’cause, well, it doesn’t have it. It gets left with just Sp. Atk and, honestly, it’s just one of many that miss the speed boat. Maybe GO could throw these speedy guys a bone? Let them shine with some speed mechanic or something.
Here’s the thing: in GO, the big stars are, like, the usual suspects. Legendary, starters, the ones that everyone expects to be strong. They’ve got these Mega Evolutions, making them even more awesome. But then, there’s this whole bunch of “regular” Pokémon that kinda just… hang out in the background. Like, not all fit in with the GO vibe, but imagine if the quick ones—Accelgor, Ninjask, Greninja—got some love. Maybe something unique just for them?
Thinking out loud here—what if speed isn’t just for battles? In PoGO, Pokémon usually run on real-time combat. Moving fast isn’t about turns but more like how quickly you can power up moves. Instead of turns, maybe speed could charge moves faster or cut cooldown times? So these speed demons strike first again? I dunno, just brainstorming.
And, oh! What if speed mattered outside battles? Pokémon GO is all about exploring, right? Imagine if speedy Pokémon could help you walk your Buddy distance faster or hatch eggs quicker? They’d be like tiny life hacks!
And speaking of speed, Speed Forme Deoxys would break records here. Seriously, it’d be the Usain Bolt of Pokémon GO.
Here’s the real kicker: adding speed to Pokémon GO isn’t child’s play. It could wreck the balance or get all confusing. But look at them—they added Mega Evolutions and Dynamax, changing the game completely. Pokémon GO’s been around forever (in phone app years), and they keep making moves. Speed could fit right in if they dared.
Even if it’s not on their to-do list, adding speed might be just what some Pokémon need to finally get their moment. Who wouldn’t want to see some underdog shine, right?
