There are now 649 Pokemon.

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

Lotto 649, estimated 6.5 million dollar jackpot. Sorry if that's irrelevant.

Holy shit, I haven't played Pokemon since Pokemon Red. Holy shit, that's a lot. I don't even think Atlus has thought of that many Demons/Shadows/Personas for Christ's sake. I miss the good ol' days. VG Cats might say more than me.

No there isn't there's 150

They look more japanese if that makes any sense, but again they just don't look as cool as the first 300 (up to gold n'silver). While some of them look alright, most of them look silly or are just really lame.

That said, I won't be getting anymore pokemon games. I already have about 10 of them and they don't do anything for me since they over use all the same elements over and over.

What other elements could they add? their is no more =S unless you count plasma but that is the name of the evil gang of this region...Team Plasma

Sorry if that wasn't clear. I mean how it always turns out the same when you start of with one pokemon (fire, water & grass), catching lesser pokemon for little support, finding the same items again (same HMs) and using the same old boring moves with the same old boring animations. It's so boring, they need to add new elements to the game play.

Ok, my reading is now considerably bad.

The animations in this game have changed, completely new =D their are brand new moves to use, and it will always be Fire Water Grass, because those are the easiest type to use. Nintendo may change it maybe to something like Rock, Fighting, and Flying? but for now that is a really small complaint.

Small to you but huge to me since this is why I'm over it. I'm a bloody veteran when it comes to Pokemon games and I'm defintely not alone on this.

Also, the animations are still roughly the same as well as the moves. Fire, Water & Grass doesn't have to be the easiest to use, they could be as creative as they want but once again they do the same thing. And that's what they're gonna keep on doing because they keep on getting away with it.

Actually this is a huge complaint because it's why I'm sick of Nintendo all together.

I like- the new dragon typings, the fact that there is a fully evolved mono dragon type, and a mono flying type, both for the first time. Several strong looking bug types, ice, and dark types.

I am a bit disappointed in that, there aren't any new eeveeloutions, the fire starter is totally sucky(no spd, def, or sdef.) And unless some of these have some outrageous new moves, I don't see any of them replacing my current teams for wifi battles.

 

[SpaceSpork]

Wait wait wait. Bearded dogs, weird pink Drowzee-ish things, electric zebras, psychic bats, bodybuilding clowns, dandelion-afro guys, giant boulder crabs, cute sci-fi jelly thingy, PokeMushrooms, leech fish, chandelier guys, awesome polar bears, fire anteaters and afro Tauruses?

THAT'S AWESOME!

Dude you forget the Insect with a laser cannon.

I know, right? And the turtles!

I wasn't really looking forward to seeing the new pokes after I saw the initial leaks/announcements. I thought they were really scraping the bottom of the barrel int eh designs department to bleed more money out of a cherished franchise (which they are though, I suppose).

But now I think I was wrong. While there are a lot of misses, there are a LOT more hits. Can't wait to put together my team: Jaroda, Doryuuzu, Roopushin, Abagoora, Ononokusu, Wargle.

And for the record, my favourite generation is R/S/E, and my favourite pokemans is Aggron.

Is it just me...or does Aggron sound like a train in the games?

By the way, Scizor owns

One word. Paragraphs. If you are gonna scream at the top of your lungs about how much pokemon sucks, at least make it readable.
OT: Some are really cool I think. I used to the the water starter sucked but...
<----
However, some suck. 559 and 560 look retarded. So do the ice cream ones. I do like the fact that there are more dragons, it's my fave type.

 

[Vortex Traveller]

can't wait to get hold of this, the creatures seem a bit hit and miss but I like them over all.
Some like Ononokusa, Daikenki and Gigaiasu look awesome where some like Zuruzukin and Gamagaru look stupid.

One or two remind me to much of old pokemon as well like Doreida reminds me a bit of Bellosom and Baffuron reminds me of Tauros (except with a Afro) but we had that in previous gens too (Beautifly and Butterfree for instance).

649 for all to see to be a Pokemon Master is my Destiny...

[Buizel91]

No there isn't there's 150

Even you got it wrong, the original games had 151

 

[Ddgafd]

Speaking of the number 150, Zekrom has that as it's base attack, and Reshiram as it's base Sp.Atk stat. WTF

 

[Sargey]

Pffttt, I refuse to accept any pokemon past the first 151.

 

[Irridium]

Well they don't look bad, but they seem to be overly complex.

Still, its better then the last generation.

Really? I thought the last gen was awesome - it brought us LUXRAY!

Anyway, I'm not sure I like the copypasted Gear evo chain, but otherwise... I WANT A YUNIRAN!

But it also brought us this little bastard:

Spoiler

You do not use warm colors for a water type dammit! At a glance that looks like a fire-type, the only indication its water are the two tiny fins on its arms that are usually hidden by something. Its the only pokemon that seriously pisses me off with its design.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Holy shit guys... there's a hydra! how badass is that?

I don't think there are enough electric types though, but the designs are fairly good.

 

[run_forrest_run]

Some interesting type combos there. Rock/Flying, Bug/Fire, Dark/Ground and oh so many ghosts. Me thinks Gigaiasu could be the new Tyranitar. Tsutarja's still going to be my first choice for a starter simply because I'd set my mind on it before seeing its stats. I'll probably be going for Boappu if there's a choice between the three monkey pokemon. Gobitto and Monozu look like worthwhile pokemon aswell. I just wish I hadn't spoiled the new pokedex for myself.

 

[C95J]

"Pokemon, Gotta catch 'em all!"

FUCK THAT, I'm gonna go play Halo: Reach

 

[C95J]

I want Pokemon Blue back ...

The first Gym, has the monkey with he advantage to your starter...you get given a monkey that has the advantage over the other monkey...If that makes sense.

According to Serebii anyway
