There are now 649 Pokemon.

I think Nintendo forgot the moto of "gotta catch them all"

Well, they are definitely getting more creative with the pokemon type combinations, I like that part. Not too crazy about all of the designs, but maybe they'll grow on me. Some of them look cool, like that dark/dragon type Sazando, and that turtle.

Also, I'm seeing A LOT of fighting types. What's that all about? (One of them is carrying an I-beam??)

 

[Super Toast]

Damn! These aren't half bad. I think I like the zebra one the most.

Ice cream pokemon!? What about the chandelier pokemon! Now that's just lazy

At least the chandelier pokemon is a ghost type, and they can pretty much take whatever form they want. (Rotom, or whatever it was called, comes to mind and there's also a coffin looking ghost type.)

That ice cream thing is just...I don't even know where to begin.

They're never going to stop, are they?

And how many of the new pokemon are just added evolutions or added "baby" forms? Every game just adds more plot holes.

Too many ..... needs .... culling .... Vote '1' on Pokemon eugenics <.<

I don't think any of them are. Because they announced that the game would feature the new pokemon only. If you could get the evolution or pre-evolved form of a pokemon in previous games, it would make that announcement false.

EDIT: You'll be able to trade pokemon over from previous versions after you beat the game once.

 

[Neverhoodian]

Ahhh, I remember the good ol' days, when Pokemon were gender-less and you only had to catch 150 (151 if you used a cheat apparatus to get Mew).

It was so simple back then. Good times...

They have been very unclear about this. In my interest in Emerald, I ofcourse found plenty of Black and White that showed older pokemon in it. Still. None of the new pokemon have any shred of origionallity and just looked like they put a glue covered animal in a trash can and shook it up, then looked through alphabet soup for names.

I had forgot to put in my previous post, that you can trade older pokemon into the game after you had beaten it once. As for the design, I'm not too crazy about them either.

 

[Kyogissun]

I gotta be honest, I'm impressed. Most of them look unique and the new dual type pokemon look like they should be interesting to test out in game.

 

[Kyogissun]

I dunno...they're starting to look more and more like Digimon. >.>;

YOU ARE IMPLYING AS THOUGH THE DESIGNS OF DIGIMON ARE BAD LOOKING.

SOMEONE HASN'T WATCHED THE NEW SEASON, HAVE THEY?

 

[Evilsanta]

It should be 666 pokemon...You know it's evil and all.

OT: How long will they go on? To a 1000 pokemons?

 

[Pat728]

I think i've pinpointed aesthetic style for every gen's pokemon. How's this?:
gen 1: cool
gen 2: still cool
gen 3: digimon
gen 4: random stripes and spikes
gen 5: bad fangame

 

[Kortney]

Pokemon just wont die will it?

 

[Phototoxin]

I'm not to keen on them...

 

[jboking]

Enbuoo .... fire/fighting... god fucking damn it! The only type paring I didn't want to see again! nice to see the water and grass starters don't get second types ... again. only got to the end of the starters, and I'm already a bit pissy.

 

[duchaked]

uhhh ya as far as I'm concerned there's 151 lol
