Sure, here it goes:

Okay, so here’s the deal about Pokémon games, and this might sound weird, but stay with me. You know how sometimes the Pokémon that looks super cool or is super fast isn’t always the one that wins battles? Yeah, that’s a thing. Though, in Pokémon GO, things run a bit differently. Niantic kinda cut out all the complicated stuff—like different moves and stats—to make it more… playable, I guess? Sort of like scraping off the fancy icing because you just want a cupcake on the go. But then some Pokémon, like Accelgor, end up missing out. It was built for speed, but here… not so much.
Anyway—wait, where was I? Oh right, Speed! That’s a whole thing. Imagine a Pokémon that’s all about zooming past its opponents. But here’s the kicker: if you’ve got an awesome moveset but are slow, you’re toast. But in Pokémon GO, Accelgor, poor guy, just can’t flex its speed at all. And it’s not the only one, really. Like, you can’t help but wonder, what if GO did something about it?
Maybe Pokémon GO could, I don’t know, somehow sneak Speed back into the game? For those Pokémon who were born to go fast—like, zoom-zoom fast. Makes you think, right? Ninjask, Greninja—some of these might actually have a chance to show off their true, speedy selves if Niantic decides to change things up a little. Might give some of these unsung heroes their moment in the sun.
And yeah, speaking of which (cos everything circles back), imagine if Speed in Pokémon GO wasn’t just about battles. What if it helped with the whole walking, exploring, real-world side? Like, if your Pokémon is fast, maybe you don’t have to walk as far for getting Candy. Yes, please. Sounds like a win-win, right? Or reducing the distance for hatching Eggs. Just imagine not having to trudge around forever for that.
Oh, and there’s this thought popping up about Deoxys. In its Speed Forme? Man, it would probably rock the whole thing if Speed stats became a thing again in the game. I guess that’s why sometimes a shakeup could really be worth it, even if it’s a bit tricky to pull off. The balance could get totally whacked, for sure. But hey, Pokémon GO thrives on change and risks, so a little chaos could be just the boost it needs to keep things lively.
So, yeah, while Speed isn’t maybe front and center on Niantic’s to-do list—if it even gets a blip on their radar—it’s neat to think about how it could spice things up. Who knows? It might make some forgotten Pokémon finally have their glory days. Anyway, just something that sprang to mind while I was out there, Pokémon GO-ing my way through the day.
