Pokémon!

[Charon]

Wow, I expected the Pokabu's evo to be the best, it looks horrid D:

I still like mah Smugleaf, and I kinda like the water line. I still think it's more trying to chug out Pokemon though...

[Griever]

WOW those pokemons are new to me ...... the last pokemon game i played was pokemon diamond... and i didn't reach far (third pokemon badge only) ....... because my save got deleted by mistake and i didn't really want to replay the game .......

[Aile~♥]

Well of course they're new, or did you miss the part where they're the new Pokemon for Black and White, which haven't been released yet?

[Griever]

yah i noticed this part .............. i kinda like the grass/snake one lol

[Rolina]

Yeah... to emphasize:  Grass "3rd evo" looks to be semi-traced from Milotic, Fire "3rd evo" seems to be semi-traced from Rhyperior, and the Water "3rd evo" seems to be traced from Dialga.

This doesn't happen in pokemon.  Ever.  There's nothing in there that you can trace, make a few tweaks, and call it a mon, not even the eeveelutions.  Add on that the Water 3rd evo comes out of left field, and it pretty much sets it in stone:  They're fakemons.

[Charon]

Yeah, the unoriginality is really causing me to turn my back to my most loyal series. I doubt I'll be getting the games unless I have a serious surplus of money for games.

[Griever]

I stopped playing this game a long time ago ..... a year or so ... but i still like the N64 pokemon stadium.

[Charon]

I've been a deep fan since the RBY days. I obsessed over it, and even today I still think of new strategies for my Honchkrow Eric. But this new batch is so disappointing. It really depresses me.

[Griever]

Hehehe well i'm not a fan of the pokemon series games (only games ><)
but i do like any RPG game .... since that's the only kind of game i play so i guess that kinda make it a special game.
The only pokemon game that i still sometimes think of replaying was the firered/leafgreen game ...

[Salanewt]

I was mostly disappointed with generation 4. Some of the bird pokemon were nice, but we have so many of them already. Honchkrow is cool, and I love Mismagius (who has not entered my party for some reason), but Dusclops... Really? Togekiss... Wait, Togetic is obese? I also dislike the fact that Gligar and Yanma both look like they become evil when they evolve. Something does not have to become less attractive just because it evolves. There is also barely anything that makes either Dialga or Phalluskia stand out over the other (like with Groudon and Kyogre, one could tell that they were both very different, but those two look so similar (Arceus is not much of a fix for that either)).

Firered and Leafgreen are nice remakes. The only problem is that you can not evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon, due to the lack of what the rest of the generation 3 games have (the ones that can trade between each other).

Have a nice day.

Edit: You have to find out on your own why I highlighted the extra letters of Palkia black, but what you should find is true. Here is a hint: Look at its shoulders, and then its neck, and then look at what you should be able to find in my message...

[Griever]

Hehe i will try to look for that.
And about Eevee i always have it evolve to Flareon (Fire is my favorite element)
And since im talking about fire pokemons I love Ponyta and Rapidash.

[Salanewt]

Oh yeah, Rapidash is awesome, especially when shiny (it looks like its mane is made of smoke). In fact, many of the good looking shiny pokemon are the fire type (like Charizard, Rapidash, Arcanine, Ninetails, Flareon, Ho-oh, and Torkoal).

Have a nice day.

[Griever]

I tried to make a full fire pokemon team once but i got beaten by a single water pokemon and i don't even remember who it was ... but that pokemon was able to beat all of my 6 fire pokemons with 1-3 hits ... i don't like water pokemon that much ... maybe except for Marill and its evolutions.

[Rolina]

I found something that's very true:

Fan Dumb : Expect lots of this. Generally you can split the Fan Dumb  into a few major groups: "New Pokémon Suck"-ists, who hate everything about Pokémon after (insert time period here) and think everything before it as the Poké-Messiah; Anime Obsessionists, who are only interested in the anime and insult people who say it's contrived, badly written or that (insert character) is a Mary Sue; and general idiots, who say that everyone else's opinions (and everything else) suck and that their Pokemanz are teh bests. Oh, and anti-competitive players, who accuse competitive players of being Stop Having Fun Guys  and "forcing" them to use certain Pokémon over others. "We don't have elite squads of ninjas capturing you and forcing to use Scizor" is a common retort by serious players when the groups collide inadvertently.

Notice that first part.  Yeah.

[Salanewt]

I do like some of the new guys, but I have to agree that the majority of them are disappointing compared to older designed. I mean, I like Boddles and Bambi, but I do not like Phalluskia or the piggybank that we are getting. The two primary legendaries fail to have something that makes them stand out over the other, making them look almost the same. With Groudon and Kyogre, it was obvious that they were different (I think Ho-oh and Lugia did have a similar problem though).

Have a nice day.

[Rolina]

I'll agree with you on the legendaries, but you already know my reasoning as to why.  I just don't like legendaries, it's a me thing.  And every gen has its share of ugly looking pokemon, even Gen I and Gen II.  EVERY pokemon is hit or miss, you just ignore the misses from Gen I and Gen II and ignore the hits from Gen III and up.  Well, that's what it is for the most part, at least.  It's really annoying, too.  Those of us who don't just say "all the new pokemon suck, and Gen II was the best" get really pissed at those who do say it.

If you don't like the new pokemon, get the hell out of the fandom.

Sala, you can't say that the 'majority' of them are bad, when we only have a taste of what there is!  There are NONE OF THE OLD POKEMON from the previous gens until post game, meaning you can almost count on AT LEAST 150 NEW ONES, meaning we've barely scratched the surface.  Save the whining for when we have a bigger picture.  Those mons may appeal more to the japanese, while others appeal more to us western types.  Just be patient and wait to see the full cast.

[Salanewt]

All right, I suppose that I can do that, but I was talking about fourth generation when I said "majority." Really, I mean, we have a tapeworm as a legendary. They did have their fair share of good ones, but most of the good ones are easily overshadowed by the numerous bad ones. As for the best generation, I always found 3 to be my favourite (most unique while not straying too far from the original art style). And for them being made for the Japanese, I suppose that this is true. However, I mainly criticize most of the new ones because they do not seem to fit the same style as the older generations, not because of the way they look. Some have too little detail, and some have too much (to the point where it looks like plagiarism).

Have a nice day.

[Rolina]

I think that's on purpose.  This supposedly is taking place not in japan, but in new york.  The stylistic differences could reflect the differences in evolution.

REAL evolution, that is, not Poke-lution.  Still, as long as they keep the same art style, it should be fine.  But I'm all for the "different continent, different aesthetics" approach.

[Aile~♥]

@Sala: What the h*** do you mean, Dialga and Palkia look too similar? Similar aesthetic designs, sure (the weird patterns all over them), but one is pink and white, the other is BLUE AND SILVER. What's worse, one of them stands on two legs, the other stands on all fours! GEEZ!

And if Giratina is a tapeworm, it's the most badass tapeworm I have ever seen.

XD

[Rolina]

I think he was talking about the Gen 5 legends.  They do look like Palkia clones, when you look at them.  Same basic build.
