Ok, to all you Oshawott bashers, fuck you. Sure your Tenpigs or Snivys are cool looking or adorable, but do can they use a weapon to dispatch their enemies along with their body and natural elemental abilities as a basic? No? Didn't think so.

Seriously?
Just because a game looks cutesy and kiddy-oriented does not mean that it is. The target audience for pokemon isn't just children, but all of the adult gamers smart enough to figure out the intricate strategy involved.

You know I have to disagree with the nostalgia factor to a certain degree.

I started back then too but I actually liked quite a few of the pokemon from the diamond and pearl era. But I compare the B/W pokemon to all of the other games and save for a few they do suck...

Growing up? Sure, but you must understand that there is still affection for the things that deserve it. Squirtle, charmander, etc. and respecting the classics in general. But these "things" are supposed to be pokemon? yeah... whatever.

Even children are starting to think the new Pokemon are stupid and fugly. Most of them don't even look like Pokemon anymore, they're like screwed up Yu-Gi-Oh monsters and the scribblings of mentally challenged kids. And you can't seriously be saying that this...THING is not uglier than Squirtle...?

Aubri
over 14 years ago
I disagree. After the first generation, the art style changed. You went from fairly realistic-looking guys like Lapras and Nidoran to these bizarre horrors like Chicorita that are all made of rounded edges and googly eyes. It's gotten somewhat better recently, but...

That's partially true, nostalgia goggles and such, but the creators are really just milking the series now. Sure, Better features and graphics, but hardly any effort in the pokemon. Trust me, there are plenty of designs I liked in D/P/P but the starters are shit and the kids agree(trust me, I asked)

I just hope that the gen5 games restrict players to a single pokemon of a specific type for the majority of the game, aka only Ponyta as the only fire type if you didn't pick the fire starter in gen4.

[url=#user_comment_30700]@Discrider[/url]: Regarding Fireon and Watereon, you mean Flareon and Vaporeon? And Bellossom makes perfect sense, it's essentially an emo growing up and acting right by taking mood-elevating pharmaceuticals.
Discrider
over 14 years ago
However I don't like all the new evolutions of old pokemon for evolution's sake. Like Leafeon and Bellossom. Eevee maybe did need to evolve with every single stone, but not into stone-eon. May as well have Fireon and Watereon too. And Bellossom shouldn't come from Gloom. Emo shouldn't be evolvable.

I think the new Pokemon are pretty and stuff, but for the most part I find their names to be less charming and, well, "punny." And I also think they're lamer - a turtle is waaay cooler than a sea otter. Plus Pokemon is getting so convoluted now. It's less magical, and really predictable.

There wasn't ONE critter I saw that didn't remind me of a previous-gen pokemon. It was like they gabbed 200 or so pre-existing pokemon and made them look like alien robots. They also raped many cool 1st and 2nd gens by giving them the shittiest evolutions. And OH GOD SO MANY LEGENDARIES.
Poot
over 14 years ago
It has nothing to do with growing up. Sure, you'll never love new pokemon as much as the first ones you played with, but that's different. The third gen was still alright, it introduced new shapes, and most pokemon still looked like animals. Fourth, however, was horrible.

No, It's because the new starters suck. The water one is horrid, and I see all it's evolutions to be crap. The grass one actually looks good though, reminds me of Treecko though. The fire one also looks ugly, but I can see it turn into an amazing fire boar.

On this specific case at least. This otter could have turned out a lot better imo it they at least just shrunk the nose, and maybe the head. I like the other 2 perfectly fine.

26 Is a bit old for a pokemon trainer. Not in the sense that at 26, I expect someone to be too old to play pokemon, but in the sense that the games came out in '98. Samantha would have to have been born '88 to have been 10 when it came out, and only 12 years have past since then. So she'd be 22.

Incoming flood of 18+ year old Pokemon players that totally missed the point

Sorry, but I'm gonna disagree, the monstrosity of scientific experiments to the left is damned ugly.

The original pokemon are at least based off of real animals, so not as ugly as you get these days.

A hideous clownmonster with a shell on it not uglier than a blue turtle? Try again.

They're definitely getting uglier, as I still find the old ones adorable.

Yeah, they are uglier. The problem is that so many of them in the original were based of of real animals. Now that they have ran out of well known animals we have things like this monstrosity on the right.

I just wish that the internal battery on my Gold version didn't die. Kind of hard to nostalgiagasm when it can't save.

Actually I'm pretty sure they're really getting uglier.

I like the leaf one. Finally, a grass-type starter I might not abandon in a ditch.

Pokemon is all about the lolis in the show. Who cares about pokemon #492 and such.

I just point out to people that all the complaints they have about the new Pokemon were exactly the same every time a new generation came out. People stopped whining about those, at any rate.

I think in this case, the opinions on the pokemon are valid. That thing looks like Frankenstein's snowman.

Actually, I'd bet that if you asked a kid *now* which he prefers, Squirtle or that...thing...he'd totally choose Squirtle. If not, he's a dumb kid.
