Nintendo 3DS - say what?

The newer pokemon look so much more abstract than older versions. Ever since generation 3+, the pokemon look more and more abstract each time.

Yeah... thats what I mean. And thats why I like gen 2, because they stuck with the simplicity and everything that the original series had. You would think that a lot of pokemon from gen 2 were actually from gen 1, like I used to always get marill and togepi confused. (well, maybe togepi was just because they introduced it so early. But yeah)

Like I said earlier, you can't please everyone when you do something. Basic fact of life >.<

For my own opinion, I'm liking the ones so far.

Also if you want to see a rip-off of Pokemon, digimon and yu-gi-oh then check out Dinosaur King. THAT SHIT IS INSANE.

Spoiler:

AH HAH........ THIS IS WHY POKEMON HAVE BEEN LOOKING DIFFERENT EVERY GENERATION AND WHY SOME PEOPLE DONT LIKE THEM:

There's a team of people that is in charge of monster design. They're listed under "Pokemon Design." They come up with the ideas. They decide which ones are the best and refine them. Then, Ken Sugimori draws those designs. In the first generation, it was a group of four people (Sugimori being one of them), and Satoshi Tajiri's role (the creator of Pokemon) in creating the monsters was basically to approve them and suggest changes after the basic ideas were being designed. He's the only one under "Director" and "Game Design" for the first generation which means that he was in charge of pulling everything together and the overall experience of playing the game.

Nowadays... well, the truth is that in Ruby and Sapphire, Junichi Masuda took over. Ever since R/S/E, Satoshi Tajiri has not been working on the games at all. He's listed as "Executive Director" in most games. What does this mean? "Executive Director" is a fancy way of saying "this is the original creator, he approved this game but was not an active part of development." Occasionally he's listed as an "Executive Producer," which, from what I can gather, means he funded it but was still not an active member in developing it. Finally, in Pokemon Rumble (surprisingly enough), only Sugimori and Masuda are listed in the credits as "advisers" for the spin-off game. Tajiri is not listed at all.

So, Satoshi Tajiri is not really putting his mind into the monsters anymore. However, there is another part of why the monsters look different. The "Pokemon Design" of D/P/Pt was held by thirteen people. Ten of these people did not work on the first generation's Pokemon; Shigeki Morimoto (he's the guy who put Mew into the game) also stopped doing monster design during D/P/Pt. What does this mean? The people coming up with the Pokemon ideas are, mostly, different people each generation. R/S hired a ton of people, and that's why the third generation's style was so different. Black and White has also hired more people.

Thus, the main reason why the Black and White Pokemon look weird is because the design team has new people on it. Also, Satoshi Tajiri hasn't worked on the games for a looooong time (since the Gold and Silver days), thus the reason why Gen III and Gen IV looked so different from Gen I and Gen II. And now Gen V could look very different as well.


And if you dont feel like reading all of that... this is it in a nutshell:

Basically, Satoshi Tajiri, the original soul creator of pokemon, pretty much stopped working on the pokemon and the games all together come third gen (when everyone started noticing it going a little downhill). He didnt create the pokemon himself, but approved which ones got in and suggested changes and whatnot. Ken Sugimori drew the designs.
Nowadays, ever since third gen, pokemon has gotten taken over by a guy named Junichi Masuda. Satoshi Tajiri is still listed in credits of games as the original creator of pokemon but dosnt work on the development anymore. Every new gen of pokemon, new people are hired to design them. And that right there is why, as the gens go by, they all look more and more different. Currently only 3 out of 13 people are from the original first gen that design the pokemon.


Basically, the reason why it may seem that pokemon designs are getting weirder, is because the original creator of pokemon is no longer working on them.

Also... on a different note... the grass and waters starters mid evolutions were released. They look ok I guess. They also released the new girl that will be replacing Dawn and in my opinion she looks retarded. Theres also a new bat looking thing that looks like a combination of zubat and koffing... dont like it very much. Kind of like ashes new clothes.

I prefered reading the italics then you little summary. I have succeeded in learning something new everyday.

Did you really need to quote that whole thing and make the thread bigger

blegh, It's for the good of people who don't care

Well, apparently I hear the new Zoruark- Phantom Champion Z movie sucked. But on the bright side two more new pokemon were revealed.

(from pokebeach.com)


I really cant decide if the one on the right either looks cute or creepy. I think its a little bit of both. I think if the eyes wernt as bright it would look more adorable.
The one on the left looks like its chipmunk based. Hes ok looking

Bunch of new pokemans!!!!111!!

http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml

Lol.... weve been forgetting to update this thing.
I love the new flying squirrel pokemon.

Grass Monkey?

wtfbbq?

Good lord
i think i just died a little on the inside

Dear god I hated that thing... it looks like pokemon is turning to the emo kid side too. It kinda looks like a female Mr.Mime or something

hmmm... Mby emos bought Pokemon . . .?

Loving all these new pokemon. L>new typing combinations. Anyone seen the videos? Also this comes out either the 11th of sept or the 17th

What kind of types are you hoping for? Im wanna see a dragon/ice... (lapras evo would be nice for that)

LIGHT (If they are going to add a new type, this will most likely be it)

Their not.. reshiram is dragon and fire. I was hoping for it too though. If light were going to ever exist, it would have been in this generation and reshiram would have been it. Besides, their way too far into the series to start adding another new type now. There would only be very few pokemon that have it and it wouldnt be balanced out at all

New pokemonz was released. GRASS MONKEY POWER!

And if you think pokemon is getting old, wait to hear this. Pokemon Black and White has gonna over 1 million pre-orders. One, Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero o-o

Its expected that it will reach 1.5million orders before its release day on the 18th of September. I am excited about this game.

See the spoiler boxes

It's official, I'm getting the grass starter.
