Pokemon Discussion thread!

[KillerChair]

I saw this pokemon skins thread and it became a pokemon discussion thread.
And Ivory said we would "almost" need a seperate thread for it.
And i (as a pokemon fan) do not agree on the "almost" part.

Ill start with saying that the 5th generation pokemon are totally sucky

Hey, I'm a huge Pokemon fan too!

I'll start by saying 5 Gen Pokemon are a huge improvement over Gen 3 & 4 in terms of the sucky to good designs ratio.

[CutmanMike]

I thought that until I saw the cog pokemon, and how it's evolved state barely changes  :?

Also the amount of GENERIC DINOSAUR LOOKING THING WITH BLADES ON THEIR ARMS is getting ridiculous.

[Ivory]

Sorry, nothing you can say can possibly top this horror of gen 4.

Dont get me started on Probopass -.-

[CutmanMike]

Probopass at least defeated Alakazam in the moustache growing evolution contest

Here's my evidence for V5 sucking...

Gear.

Enough said.

This thing does not look like a Pokemon.

My problem with most of the newer Pokemon is that they don't resemble anything.  Gen 1 and 2 all looked at least somewhat like real creatures.

[Max]

It looks like a terrible fan pokemon... or a strange cross between heatran and gardevoir.

[Ivory]

Like I said in the other thread. Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon were designed at the same time and made to be together. I really hated Gen 4 since it butchered a lot of designs. For instance, Rhydon is awesome. Rhyperior is not.

[Mr. X]

I know you said it.  I'm just saying gen 3 and after look like crap.

[Max]

Not all of them. Some of them like Deoxys and Groudon are awesome and some like Wailmer are so silly they're good.

[Mr. X]

True, wailmer and wailord are pretty awesome.  Actually, gen 3 wasn't too bad.  After that, they're really weird.

[Ivory]

To be fair, every generation had its up and downs.  It's just that the downs come more apparent after gen 2, but especially in gen 4.

To also be fair. EVERY. SINGLE. POKEMON. HAS. A. FAN. BASE.
Even Probopass and Lickylicky.

Pokemon is very spread out. I just happen to camp in the fanbase that preferred Generation 1 and 2.

Hey guys. You know Gear?
Well guess what.

DEAL WITH IT.
