There are now 649 Pokemon.

[MrGalactus]

No there isn't there's 150

Even you got it wrong, the original games had 151

OOO thats a severe burn. Right you are sir, I am an ignorant n00b.
Ahhh thats almost embarrassing.

Never said your an Ignorant Noob, i don't mind that only like the original Pokemon...

But when i see "Their are only 150" i just think yeh, forget the cutest little thing ever!

I know I deemed myself the title of ignorant n00b!

 

[e2density]

I liked it when they remade the games with the first 151, not made new ones

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.

*Ahem* Excuse me do not diss my favourite Pokemon! Buizel is badass! the Only Pokemon to sound
French! (Listen to him speak in the Anime...You'll understand what i mean )

The design is perfect, It's based of Weasel...which is a redish colour. And weasels are good swimers, hence it's a water type. Sure they don't have fins, but that's just show it's a Water type.

To be totally honest, all I'm seeing is old tricks with new outfits. The bull pokemon that will be very rare and has no evolution. The standard pigeon/sparrow pokemon that you can find in the level 4 regions that has two more evolutions. The little bear pokemon that evolves into a big badass bear. Just fucking yawn man.

It has a warm color scheme, which makes it look like a fire type. When I first saw it in soulsilver, its fins were concealed, so I just figured "oh, I'll just send out my Graveller and destroy it. Send out graveler and get hit by an aqua jet, I then spend the match swearing.

Two tiny blue fins that are easily concealed doesn't cut it. Its like Execcutor, being a Palm Tree doesn't exactly give off the "Psychic" feel.

Fair enough i suppose, and i have SS the Fins are not concealed, although they are small =\

I... ugh... ok, on a good note I've scoped out ones I do like and will probably end up using.

Tsutarja and his forms. (Grass)
Purotooga and his Sea-Turtle Blastoise evolved form, Abagoora. (Water/Rock)
Aaken and his parrot of stone evolution Aakeosu. (Rock/Flying)
Bachuru and his evolved Spider form, Dentures Denchura. (Bug/Electric)
Hitomoshi, the candel, and his lantern based evolved forms. (Ghost/Fire)

I'm noticing a less... natural approach to these designs as opposed to earlier Pokemon. While the past generations were closer to natural creatures, these are creatures you'd more likely see in a book on Japanese cultures. More like demons and spirits then naturally occurring creatures.

This is just in design of course, I realize in terms of abilities all Pokemon are like demons; This case, however, these designs are less what you'd expect to see in nature and more what you'd expect a artist rendition of a dream involving said creature.

I'm not too excited over the designs; though as I said, there's enough for me to make a solid team out of them until I unlock the classics.

Also, why does that mushroom have a pokeball pattern on it? Did humans copy nature or is this mushroom just breaking reality. Or is this a Jesus Toast thing?

Gotta Catch Them All! Damn It, I Only Bought 648 Pokeballs..... Awkward....

This Region is in a more, industrialized, means that Pokemon may have evolved differently to other regions such as Kanto or Sinnoh. they are going to look much more rough and bulky because of where they live...

That's my view on it anyway.

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

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

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.

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.

No, there is one in there.
I didn't even notice the lack in new pre-evos and evolutions for older pokemon till I saw that, no wonder I wasn't raging
But I did notice one. The Luvdisc with the hand things on it. I assume it's either a Luvdisc evo you can catch as-is, or it's an alternate male form or something.

Is this thread really still alive?

There better be a pokemon which can replace Pikachu's general cuteness! =3
