Pokémon!

[Seraphic Phantom]

I'm currently working on an EV-trained team, really. Got an Espeon Special Sweeper and working on some other ones...Pokemon is still pretty awesome, though I doubt that I'll get Black or White Version...I'm still attached to 2nd and 3rd gen.

[Rolina]

I won't be getting White or Black - I'm waiting for the expansion pack.  That way I'll actually finish the game, rather than stop halfway due to playing it before.

[Salanewt]

I am waiting as well, but I managed to get through Platinum and Emerald for extra legendaries. Hopefully the main legendaries from both Black and White are in the third.

Have a nice day.

I think I'll leave it at Gen IV unless some substantial change that totally redefines the gameplay of Pokemon, because it's just too boring to keep my interest these days. :/

[Salanewt]

And have you seen some of the new guys? Ew. One looks like a floating pink Piggybank, but it is really a psychic dream eating pig. We also have what appears to be a giant coffin with shady hands reaching out of it, and a Meerkat pokemon. Oh, and another monkey.

Have a nice day.

Salanewt, have you seen this one?
Very original...

[Rolina]

...Pokemon designs have RARELY been original.  Have you seen Magnemite lately?

They all are based on something in real life.

[Aile~♥]

OK, that last one is either hilariously creepy or really frickin' cute. Or maybe both.

[Salanewt]

They mostly are, but some of the newer ones are harder to tell (for example, I can very obviously tell what Articuno, Stantler, or Wingull are based on, but it is hard to tell exactly what Manaphy is).

Have a nice day.

Pokemon designs used to be awesome in Gen II, they got progressively weaker since then. But I still love me Swellow and me Honchkrow and me Smugleaf XD

Still, this recent batch is so... meh. >_>;

[Sajin]

Ah yes, Gen II was my favourite. So many good looking pokemo designs. Gen III also has some good looking ones, gen IV had very few nice ones. Gen V seems to not have any decent ones at all for the time being...

[Salanewt]

Yes, cheers to generation 2! Generations 1 and 3 deserve cheers as well, one for starting and one for continuing some of the better designs! Generation 4... Nice try, but there are some nice designs in it as well. For example, I like Mismagius, but I fail to see why they had to make Togekiss look like that.

Also, http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml . Some of the starter evolutions are fine, but that is what is expected of starters (in other words, not the best for design). How on earth did an Otter become that thing anyway?

Have a nice day.

[Sajin]

Whoa, now I hate the grass starter because of the evolutions... 
God, out of all those the only ones that I like a little are Rankurusu and the mole ones. The rest look so... Random.

[Salanewt]

You mean Bottles, Banjo's friend? He seems okay, but I think Grunty performed surgery on him or something. I think we also have Bambi (the hunter performed this time), a zebra, a meerkat, those gears, a piggybank, a pigeon (I have enough of those at home), and quite possibly a silkworm. Out of every one of the Pokemon that we have seen so far, I only really like Wooguru (the Yin Yang legendaries are horrible too, quite random).

Have a nice day.

The grass evo looks like another version of milotic.

The water evo looks cool but also feels like it's been done before.

The fire evo is just plain bad.

[Aile~♥]

Why does everyone have such a problem with Gen 4?

Anyway, the highest level Fire evo doesn't look too bad, and the highest level Water Evo looks pretty good as well. And honestly, you could label ANY snake Pokemon they invent at this point to be an imitation of one of their other snake Pokemon. But just let me ask a question: where are the fangs? Everyone knows that snake Pokemon need fangs.

Current consensus is that they're fakes...

[Salanewt]

You have a point, considering that there are no new updates to that page with the exception of those.

Have a nice day.

Actually those evolutions are not confirmed to be true yet if you look at their information for all three starters evolve forms. they found those pictures on a forum.

[Salanewt]

Oh yes, you have a point. I suppose that they will work for reference until actual evolutions are confirmed anyway.

Have a nice day.
