Pokémon!

[leaf]

Pokemon black and white. Apparently, we're going retro now. It really seems too soon for a new pokemon game, though...

Oh, and nero... please don't ever refer to "evolve" or "evolved" as "EV" ever again. "EV" has a very different and a very well-established meaning; it stands for "Effort Value," and EV training a pokemon is the key to customizing them the way you want. I had to re-read that sentence to figure out what you meant since the typical meaning of "EV" made absolutely no sense in that context.

[Aile~♥]

Well, I guess they ran out of uber-fancy gemstones to use. Or they like going retro (which may or may not be a good thing).

What's so bad about drifloon/lim? I don't see anything wrong with a blimp pokemon, except for the uncreative names.

And Riolu/Lucario was genius. Running out of ideas, riiiiight...

[Rolina]

Ahem.



That is all.

[Tetsuya the Azure Blade]

@Role: Lolwut? What's that supposed to be? (I know they're pokemon chars)

[Rolina]

Pokemon Special characters with water starters:  Water > Fire
Pokemon Special characters with fire starters: RAAAAAAAGE!
Green/Gary MFing Oak:  Oi... CALM DOWN.
Pokemon Special characters with grass starters:  Hey, Crystal, these donuts are great!

[Hoopa]

Wow, Pokemon White and Black look like it'll actually be fun to play and the legends look like epic armored dragon/beasties. The starters are really cute too...

[Sajin]

...The water starter looks...weird. But the grass one looks nice enough.
I just hope they don't add more 100 pokemons. God, they're almost 500 already, right? How are we supposed to catch them all?  >_>

[Charon]

The water starter looks like the deranged lovechild of Piplup and Kricketot. I personally like the grass one the most.

In HG I've been going around with my killer Chatot "Rainbow" and seeing how far I can go in the Battle Hall.

Prepare. To. Be. Chattered.

I just hope they don't add more 100 pokemons. God, they're almost 500 already, right? How are we supposed to catch them all? >_>

Lol I know, right? By the end of the decade, there'd probably be 1000 pokemon 

I wonder what ubers the new games will have. There's already Arceus, which is said to have MADE THE WHOLE FREAKING WORLD! What will they do for the Black & White versions? I bet they'll make more hugeass dragons...

[Sajin]

Yup. The new pokemons that appear to be the legendaries look like huge mechanical dragons with a drill on their back... Yes, a drill.

[Charon]

I wonder what ubers the new games will have. There's already Arceus, which is said to have MADE THE WHOLE FREAKING WORLD! What will they do for the Black & White versions? I bet they'll make more hugeass dragons...

The excuse will probably go a little like this:

"Well, ARCEUS was God... of the Sinnoh region."

For Christ's sake they should just program Chuck Norris into the damn game.

[Salanewt]

Yeah, or even some of the other holy figures of this world, like the ones that druids and Futureshop employees worship. Also, for a new Dark type, BP? Lol, enough real life jokes from me about this for now.

Anyway, now that I have seen the starters, I am even less likely to get either Black or White (I must say that I do kind of like that grass starter though, but the water is just strange, and the fire looks almost like a remake of Grumpig mixed with Pikachu and Charmander (though maybe a tiny bit cute, but...)). If I ultimately do decide on getting one of them, it will be White with that grass starter (which is not usual for me, since I tend to go for water starters in almost each game).

1st generation - Squirtle/Charmander (Water type/Charizard is awesome)
2nd generation - Barely played, but have gone for either Chikorita or Totodile (Cyndaquil was neat, but I did not find it particularly useful to own, especially with some of the stronger bosses (like the dragon user)). Totodile for water, Chikorita because it was my favourite starter (if female).
3rd generation - Usually Mudkip, sometimes Treecko or Torchic (Treecko was not common with me, and Torchic once gave me like 40+ baby Torchics because of a farm at the breeder's I started). Lost the game and my almost 60-70 Torchics.
4th generation - Piplup (did you see the others? Yuck! Besides, there have been enough grass types in the game (and grass + earth is extremely weak to flying, which I tend to use in each game as well)), and Fire + Fighting already happened, just before this generation.
5th generation - Not out yet, but I like that grass starter. The fire is cute but looks like a crossbred Grunpig and Charmander (not to mention a tiny bit of Pikachu and Flaafy in there), and the water looks more demented than the Beijing mascots for the Olympics a few years ago.


Now, what does everyone else prefer?

Have a nice day.

The water starter at least looks the most original. The fire and grass starters look like rips of spoink/phanpy and treeko, respectively.

@Sajin: Technically, if you count the alternate forms of pokemon certain pokemon (ie. skymin and the rotom forms), they've already hit over 500. When alternate forms don't count, they're already up to 493, so between five different alternate forms for rotom, three alternate forms for deoxys, and one alternate form each for shaymin and giratina, that goes up to 503.

[Tetsuya the Azure Blade]

Well it's hard to be original when you have about 500 pokemon >_<

[Sajin]

So, 503? Meh, since I didn't played neither D/P the only ones I know from the fourth generation are the starters and few others that actually have a good design.
Leaf, none of them look original. The grass starter looks like seviper+treecko, the fire one charmander+grumpig and the water one quagsire+a snow man with ears.

[Salanewt]

The grass starter looks like seviper+treecko, the fire one charmander+grumpig and the water one quagsire+a snow man with ears.

Grass: I would have thought of Treecko and Flygon, but I can see Seviper in it too.

Fire: Lol, I thought so too! I added Pikachu for the yellow strip on his head, and Flaafy for the ball on the end of the tail, but it is mostly Charmander and Grumpig. Maybe its name sets will be: Bakon (Bake + Bacon) - Hamoven (Ham + Oven) - Incineroast (Incinerator + Roast)? Lol, I would actually like to have a Bakon pokemon.

Water: To be honest, it looks like a combination of one of the seal pokemon (maybe Seal itself), Foatzel, and I can see Squirtle in there, you just have to reduce the front side of his body to a small patch, and then remove the shell.


Personally, I would have liked cross-type starters, like a Fire starter that also becomes water when it evolves, or grass that also becomes fire. Better yet, we have yet to have bug or psychic starters (unless psychic is coming now with the fire pig?).

Also, for Arceus, don't forget that you can change his type and colour scheme by giving him different plates. I thought Castform would have counted as well, but considering his other forms are only used for battle, it is barely like adding pokemon to the total. Also, Lugia doesn't count, right? In XD: Gale of Darkness, he was extremely cool looking as Shadow Lugia (and after curing him, went straight to Emerald before I discovered the ability to teleport to each of the legendary islands). I now have a nice collection of legendaries in Diamond, but they are stuck there because I only have the one DS.

Have a nice day.

Edit: There are also the Mystery Dungeon games, first to introduce a purple Kecleon and Primal Dialga (I would also mention the Pink Celebi, but it almost looks like regular shiny Celebi, so...).
