While I understand that it is hard work coming up with cool, interesting ideas for Pokemon; I cannot approve the direction the designs for the creatures has been going.

Please, please don't scare me away Nintendo!

Well its good that some of my favorites have made it there (Thank you Gamefreak for making Empoleon possible)
The sad part is when people ***** and moan about how the new ones are "Overdesigned" or just shitty looking
There are some fuck ups but theres been at least 10 in each generation. (Yes, even the first one)

I still see the old and new designs and redesigns as simplistic exercises of antro/zoo-morphication cartoonists have been doing for years,particularly in Japan (giant samurai Robots anyone?)
PS: And I do like Pokemon,it got me laid a few times unbelievably enough...

Could be worth buying a new DS for it (the one i have is orignal, and looks that age too). I loved the series for a long time scince my parents bought me and my sister pokemon blue and yellow (respectively). In my mind HG and SS were a bit of a flop because the game retained an issue of high level training areas. This paired with a certain gimmick toy thats supposed to do the job the game doesnt do in the first place killed its long term playability. When Black and White eventually does come to my local game shop, ill certainly buy it.
Also on a side note Black and White are going to be the last pokemon games on the DS, given that the 3DS is coming out by 2013 and the next pokemon game is probably going to be the 3rd gen reboot (2014 10 years after the 3rd gen games)

why does every thread about Pokemon turn into a big shit fling-a-thon?
on topic: i guess depending on which Pokemon you are designing, you have be sure you have picked the right look for it. for example, you have to make sure the starters of the game look good, since everyone uses them up until the final evolution, so they'd better look good so that people will want them, which is why i'm disappointed with the Black/White starters, specifically Wotter's final evo, it went from awesome Samurai-Otter to derpy-derpy sea lion, which looks nothing like it's pre-evo. it's as if they changed their mind half way through designing it. up until i saw it, i was gonna choose Wotter, now i'm choosing Boarbeque when i get White.

While I do respect the hard work and the process they have to go through on making new pokemons but I must question certain decision in that group meeting. For all we know they could of made some really cool pokemons but got rid of those in favour for other (good and bad) pokemons we know at the present time. Actually in that case I would love for them to release a scrap book of the pokemons that didn't made it to the finals.
that would be awesome, i would probably buy that, or at least look at some of the Pokemon included in it on the internet.Scarim Coral said:
People that disapprove of the newer, 5th generation Pokemon have no imagination and/or are being a bit hypocritical. Pokemon like Voltorb/Electrode are fine but Gear/Gigear/Gigigear and the ice cream are unoriginal? A lot of thought definitely goes into all the Pokemon, each and every single one having an elaborate reason behind their designs/name. Especially the 5th generation, which has examples of brilliance in most of the designs.
And to the people saying the games are the same, what did you expect? Nearly every franchise, ever, sticks to a formula. Once it gets popular, the creators will naturally be very hesitant to branch out. Gamefreak already took a huge risk in altering Black and White so much. Besides, the spin off games (Ranger, Mystery Dungeon) fill the purpose of experimenting with new gameplay.
Don't complain about the formula when it can change so much. Metroid was originally a side-to-side platformer, and when the Prime games were released they jumped into FPS. The games were still successful, but they were incredibly different. "Other M" came out and changed things up again (mostly fleshing out story) but is incredibly polarizing to the fandom. Some like it and others do not.
TL;DR Pokemon always, always have a good reason for design/name, and the designs that made it were considered to be the good ones. Also, the formula will stay the same with spin offs going to new places.

Now now, I was merely exaggerating. I simply find the use of profanity as every other word rather hilarious, and didn't mean to come across as... arrogant. Sarcasm doesn't translate very well over the internet.PayJ567 said:
I've met far too many people who actually speak like that, but it's apparent that you are not one of them. Judging by your post count you're a pretty prolific poster.
