a red panda a penguin and a donkey WTF are they gonna come up with next, isn't like 400 and some odd number of these enough? i mean holy crap are they really gonna shoot for 1000?
I like the idea of a fire Tanuki, but I think the water pig/rabbit is kind of stupid. I'm perfectly happy with waiting for them to get their reveal, but now I want a fire tanuki.
It wouldn't alienate people to up the complexity, in fact I'm pretty sure they've been doing that in the background of the newer Pokemon titles. Though as hard as it is to believe there are kids who have never played Pokemon before or may have only heard about it from the anime/TCG/merch/parade balloon (food?).Don said:
That's why the external coat of the Pokemon games have remained unchanged. Professors are still trees, there are still 8 gyms, it's always the Elite 4, there's always the bad guys trying to take over everything, and the starters are always Fire/Grass/Water. All the complexity, the element they update and the driving force behind the games popularity, is in the background. Stuff like EVs, type advantages, natures, breeding, etc, etc.
I'm all for change, anything to make the game more fun. Some things however are fine just as they are and make it easy for newcomers to join. And come on, do you really want to be the old man shouting at kids, with their Pokemon Sepia and Musk Versions, shouting "I remember back in the day we didn't have your fancy Dark starter Pokemon. It was always Fire, Grass, and Water," with the kids responding, "pff, whateva old man," in which they fly off in their Pikachu Jetpacks because somehow the anime is still going and Pikachu matters after 9 Generations of Pokemon?
See my point? If it's not broke and their's more pressing matters to fix, don't fix it. I'd be more concerned about them actually designing less bizarre and more memorable Pokemon then spending it changing a staple of the Pokemon story. Besides, half the time that's the only way to get a fire type early on in the game.
Well the bottoms left pokemon is a bit of a mystery. Its tail could be a fin (water type) a leaf (grass type) or just a tail. 
(fire type)
(fire type)
Quite the contrary - I think Nintendo could learn little, if anything, from that guy, specifically because so many of them are ripped off, as well as too many of them being too similar to other pokemon within even that same list. Not just real pokemon from previous generations.interspark said:
Personally, I'm getting the feeling that guy didn't stretch his creative muscles all that much.
._. Right, if they look anything like the fan mock up, I'm going to break my water starter cycle and go with grass, it's the only one that looks sort of okay-ish... The Bunny-Pig hybrid. barlgh. That is all.
I think that looks rather good. Granted, it's quite ugly but it has potential to turn into a grass dragon, scaly piece of...pokemon. Better than a blue pig atleast. These are fake though, they couldn't have fallen that low. The look of the starters contributes around 50% of the enjoyment value to the game, they couldn't fuck these up that bad.Space Jawa said:
It looks like a water donkey, a completely non threatening tree raptor, a fire-bear-beaver cross. Well shit, when did pokemon become so gay?
