when i posted this i was at the 3rd gym, lol. Still just getting into it and not reading ahead into guides or anything, cuz that's not how I roll. I EV train a team for ass-whomping after I beat the game. I was just pointing out that up to that point i wasn't pleased with the aesthetics of the Pokemon i had encountered and the musical through me for a loop.
Listen son, I've been playing since Red and Blue. I played it in BLACK AND WHITE GRAPHICS (Well, grey and beige...)! Don't you complain about overt cuteness, it's been there since the beginning of the series.
It's a game about tiny monsters engaging in basically the equivalent of super powered cock-fights. Find something more manly than that.
whoa, bro, that's where I'm coming from. I've played every game from the ORIGINAL gameboy to today and i feel that the new game doesn't quite live up to my poke-favorites of old. but, i'm still just getting into it, so we'll see what happens.crimson5pheonix said:
Well, I see were your coming from, and here's what I think: the NPC's have always adressed their Pokemon in diffreent fashions, like cute, but they also adress them as tough or cool. Look at Team Plasma, their views on Pokemon shape their opinions and actions in the game, so I wouldn't say it's more girly now, you've may have just started to pick up on that specific aspect. Also, I'd say that the new Pokemon seem so different (girly included) simply because it's evolving (no pun intended). It's growing from morphed mammals, birds, fish and bugs into more abstact things like dreams, hence Munna (which is just a cannon of Special Attact). So I guess what I'm trying to say is that Pokemon is continuing to grow as it goes from generation to generation and becuase of all the new ideas and additions, certain elements that were always there have become more noticable by contrast. Hope this hepls!ookie37 said:

An evolved starter and a terrible meme. Compare on even grounds. A salamander, a turtle, and a dinosaur-thing with a birth defect.mb16 said:yes but mine are the started pokemon. not just random onesDexiro said:You know you're not the first person to do thismb16 said:i want pokemon that are awesome
the pokemon in pokemon have done down hill
I mean look, the turtle is playing with it's tail!
Munna is cool, lay off the thing.ookie37 said:
What do I think? I think if you're so insecure in yourself to worry about the contents of a Pokémon game, then you got issues.
Then again, bear in mind that this is still a game where you hunt and train wild animals for violent pit fights where the little chaps are routinely poisoned, immolated and thoroughly beaten to a pulp.
Maybe you'll feel better then.
As for me, I'm going to put my Munna into the dress-up competition. He'll wear a top-hat. And it will be fabulous.
25 year old man, playing Pokémon White.
No shame.

And in front of all that is a person high Pikachu...mb16 said:fine thencrimson5pheonix said:
pokemon if it was on the xbox/PS3
Goddamn man, LOOK at this thing!
Scolipede! Giant poisonous horse-millipede thing! It's HUGE and when it pops out of its Pokéball it's so heavy it kicks up dust when it lands!

Well thats hardly a fair comparison. You took the third line evolution and compared it to basic forms. as was stated in my previous post, Charmander is a very girly pokemon.mb16 said:

If you are calling Eevee, Pikachu, Clerfary, and many more of the cute gen 4 and under pokemon more manly then most most of the gen 5 pokemon... Something is wrong with you.
(Granted I LOVE Eevee and Pikachu as well as a lot of the cute gen 1-3 pokemon.)

You do realize that one of the first gen was a racist stereotype, another was a mime, and three of the grass lines were giant flowers, right? That and the original Magmar looked like a water baby (which is highly ironic), mewtwo looked like he was constipated, and charizard looked like he had down syndrome.Fawcks said:
I wish I knew the thread this was in, or I'd just quote myself from it, but suffice to say, the team jumped the shark long before that. Every generation has bad pokemon designs. Perhaps if they didnt have to keep redesigning old pokemon, they could come up with new and better ones.
HMM!
Pokemon? "girly"? What the fuck does that even mean, exactly?
Also, I dare you to look Pichu or Pikachu in the eyes and tell me there is not a massive "Awwwww!" running through your mind at that moment. If you say there isn't, you are so lying dude!
Though I will digress, the first and third generation of Pokemon looked the best. But Black and White's variety isn't that bad either. Not the greatest, but definitely not "bad" either.
Edit: Also, to the Milotic bashing: Shut up! Milotic is one of the most amazing Pokemon in the entirety of the series. To evolve from something as ugly and fucking annoying to try to catch as Feebas into such a beautiful and powerful creature is definitely a prop for it.
