In Generation 5's defense, Tympole is probably one of the worst. There's maybe 4 or 5 other Pokemon families in the game that are just as bad, but the rest of the Pokemon are fairly ace.shrekfan246 said:
I don't think that's very fair at all, regarding the technology at the time.shrekfan246 said:
To be fair Generation 5 has some pretty decent ones too. Especially Bisharp, one of my new favourites:shrekfan246 said:... what is that? Christ... and I thought the designs in Platinum were starting to decline. I'm kinda glad I decided to avoid Black&White now. I mean, I don't care about the competitive side of Pokemon and they hardly ever change the single-player, so I guess the series just doesn't have any appeal for me anymore.Strain42 said:
OT:
Miltank has all of my hatred, because of how stupid Whitney's is.
Most of the sprites from Generation I were pretty terrible too.
EDIT: On reflection, Girafarig isn't really all that bad.
Well, I was... exaggerating a little? I was never very excited for Generation V in the first place, I see people talking about the Gen V Pokemon and just get confused because the names look like random mashings of letters. Even more-so than they used to be, at least.HigherTomorrow said:
Not trying to change your mind or anything, but I do hope you'll trust me when I say not all of the Gen 5 Pokemon are anywhere near as bad as Tympole. Quite a few like Volcarona, Krookodile and Galvantula look pretty cool (although these are just my opinion, you might actually hate them)shrekfan246 said:... what is that?

Ah, I feel exactly the same as you do, being a fan of Gen I-III, I seriously lost all interest in Pokemon when Gen IV happened. It's just... bleh. Gone are the days I'd spend hours exploring the cities of Kanto or moving through forests in Johto.shrekfan246 said:
Dunsparce is based on a Japanese cryptozoological creature called the "Tsuchinoko," which is described as being a blunt, fat snake capable of jumping. It's sort of like the Japanese answer to the jackalope.leet_x1337 said:
Okay, seriously, WTF is this?
Oh, I'm sure I'd be able to find ones that I like in Gen V, Zoroark was pretty interesting to me, for example. But overall it all just seems... underwhelming, ever since the move to the DS. I don't really think the designs are terrible so much as garish and over-blown. I'd like to complain about the names too, but I really can't because for the most part they've always been ridiculous. "Lickitung"? Ugh.Strain42 said:
I got Platinum when it came out, and I jumped right on HeartGold because Gen II was my favorite, but I just can't get excited for the franchise anymore. I honestly think the only thing that would really grab my attention is Nintendo finally making a high-budget, full-3D Pokemon game that included all (or most) of the regions and Pokemon that have been released so far. It would be a ***** to balance, but it would be so glorious.Cranky said:
I think that a majority of Generation 5's designs are really good. Maybe not as memorable as say, Snorlax or Charizard or something. But most are good.scorptatious said:
Nope, still tolerable.HigherTomorrow said:I think that a majority of Generation 5's designs are really good. Maybe not as memorable as say, Snorlax or Charizard or something. But most are good.scorptatious said:
And then, there's this:
Although I must say, the artist really did make an effort to make that Pokemon look really stupid. XDHidden power is good for up to 70 base damage and can be any type. The right ev/iv, modest natures and a pile of choice specs should make it playable in-game. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much effort, but playable.Scarim Coral said:
Yeaaaaaah.... that isn't what Dragonair evolves into, that's Shellgon's upity-upity....him over there said:Don't worry, they retconned that in generation generation 3:wintercoat said:
I was so looking forward to getting some badass dragon after leveling up my dragonair, but no, I get this dopey ************. I was disappoint.

Now what do you all think of...THESE Pokemon!? (I think some of these are actually pretty fun...)
For some reason Voltorb with Mankey's limbs just tickles me all sorts of pink.
That pokemon is ugly as sin too. It gives me a headache when I see it in game tooStrain42 said:
