    Re: The Pokemon Thread

    The new pokemon designs are terrible, but I'll still get the game because the story is really good. That's all it matters to me.

      Im thinking more table with eyes, less spinning plastic. Even so Hitmontop was more than a table top spinner.

        Re: The Pokemon Thread

        Just checked out all of the newer pokes and I gotta say they look pretty good so far. The designs aren't over the top with detail like previous generations. My personal favorite is Pancham and this brand new squid Malamar.

        I really enjoyed the first 3 generations but the 4th really disappointed me so much that I barely touched the 5th.

          Story never really matters to me. As long as the pokemon formula doesn't change too drastically I will always purchase the games.

            I mean, I get it... there's Pokemon from every gen to hate (especially that ****ing ice cream come bitch.) I just don't see the big deal though, personally.

            Jynx: Agree

            Porygon: Agree that it's stupid, though I wouldn't expect any less from Team Rocket. The fact it's artificially created makes me hate it less than I should.

            Ditto: I actually have zero problems with Ditto considering it's a shapeshifter. It could have only been a super mailable substance, or magic. As far as using it, it sucks.

            Lickitung: I don't mind the design there either. It's just a fat, shell-less pink Squirtle with a long tongue for the most part. It's evolved form, however, is another story. I still wouldn't use it.

            Magnemite/Magneton/Magnazone: All robot pokemon are stupid.

            Staryu/Starmie: I don't see the problem with a starfish personally.

            Grimer/Muk: Stupid concept, but I don't mind the actual designs of them so they don't bother me.

            Exeggcute/Exeggutor: I feel like these were made just so they could make the stupid pun in their names. Though Exeggutor isn't as awful as Exeggcute.


            I'd agree that all gens have their share of stupid pokemon, but it's become a bit more egregious ever since the biggest offender, Gen IV. Honedge is catching a lot of flack because the whole idea of it is dumb. Much like the article I originally posted asked, what can't be possessed by a pokemon? And why does every Honedge look the same? (and yes, I realize that the last question may be dealing with too much detail, but it would be the one thing that could make this pokemon better)

            Even with Honedge, so far this gen doesn't look like it will be worse than V at least which is somewhat of a positive as there are only so many things you can make that won't look stupid.

              Re: The Pokemon Thread

              So I started playing Pokemon White 2 yesterday and things aren't going so well to start out. Accidentally killed two Riolu in Floccesy Ranch so now I'm punishing myself by staying there untill I catch one.

              Took me about an hour but I managed to get one! And of course, found another two right after catching one. This ranch is amazing though, usually don't have more than 2/3 pokemon before the first gym but already have the Riolu, Tepig, Pidove and Psyduck.

                First: I've never played Pokemon.. ever.

                So if I was to want to start.. which games do you suggest. After looking finally around about the games I'm a bit interested.

                So any suggestions if I decide to dive into Pokemon??

                  They're all basically the same as far as core mechanics. I would find the cheapest news and try it. Unfortunately they tend to take forever to price drop.

                    Heartgold or Soulsilver. You get 16 badges in this game instead of 8 which is the norm in all pokemon games.

                      Pretty sure sky only has a 3DS so that leaves him with diamond and pearl, platinum, black and white and black and white 2.

                      Unless you can download the others.

                        I second this. Unless you want to pick up an older Gameboy this is as close as you can get to the originals with a DS.

                          This. If you have a DS Lite/Original that have the GBA slot get Pokemon emerald as well because the battle frontier in that is bad ***.
