Original Pokemon are my favorite because I think don't think fakemon have much connection to the original anime world.

I will never use fakemon in my hack, but I still respect people who do, it is a lot of hard work to make a fakemon I think.

When I want to play a pokemon game I want to be able to have the original pokemon. So my thats where my preference goes out to. Also fakemon more often than not simply look ugly. But if you're able to make goodlooking fakemon, by all means add some (let's say 5-10, or so...) to the original set. It shows effort and originality in my opinion.

Alucus_Of_Borg June 24th, 2008 2:44 PM

the made up ones never seem to cut it with me id rather see a Pokemon game with actual Pokemon in it not fake ones it often spoils a good hack

Kazaire June 24th, 2008 11:43 PM

I think that if the Fakemon has a decent design, and is balanced with the gameplay, its an awesome addition to any hacked game.

NatureKeeper June 26th, 2008 4:12 AM

Actually, fake pokemon , i like the originals but a new region for example needs some new legendaries, etc...
Let's take Reign of Legends as an example: The story line is based on the legendary angeallen.

I'm actually trying to make a fake of mew called SHADE MEW . Also an evolution of Blastoise caled PR.SQUIRTLE, somethings like that

How about...
1. Even if they looked good?

2. Because its already a poll.
and you don't have to say it in all capitals to show your hatred for them.
its much more boring seeing a bulbasaur because you know everything about it already.

lukeh June 30th, 2008 3:49 AM

I know but, its so... so... weird... like yugioh monsters lost in a pokemon world.

Platinum Lucario June 30th, 2008 4:52 AM

I rather original Pokémon because they look better, but then again, Fakemon are OK.

Not always... You should see Acanthite's Pokémon. Or mine, though I've barely revealed any :P

Zorin July 2nd, 2008 3:47 PM

I like SCRATCH fakemon more, simply because the original get boring... it's nice to 'discover' new pokemon I think. I hope mine are good enough.

@Wichu, yours are very nice indeed. Fit in really good.

Cy-Chan July 14th, 2008 5:39 PM

Original.

I don't mind Fakémon, if they look good, and are interesting (not wow! Look at that; it's Bulbasaur with a different name and picture...)

Lucario'sShadow July 14th, 2008 7:25 PM

i hate fakemon, some people try to create fakemon but they dont look like pokemon becuz of their different styles from the original

sammydabammy July 15th, 2008 4:40 AM

I like Fake pokemon cause it makes it more original...
...and more.. Hack like, if you know what I mean, which, its a good thing!

Rob-120 July 17th, 2008 12:45 PM

If they're good sprites I like Custom Pokemon, it shows a sense of creativity.

Mechz July 17th, 2008 11:24 PM

the problem with fake pokemon is that either 1) They can't be fully realized due to limitations in skill/time, or 2) If they are fully realized, they tend to be really awful self-servicing "cool" overpowered pokemon.

Small-scale pixel art is probably the easiest medium of digital art. I've been doing it for almost a decade now, and I've got to say: The first thing you need to do before adding Pokemon is to STUDY THE PIXEL STRUCTURE OF CURRENT SPRITES. Usually the fakemons have ugly black outlines, glaring color schemes, and poorly executed "shading".

I may be over-critical of fan-work, but I just think that you need to find a proper balance of self-motivation and professionalism in your hack. The former because you need to have fun and be interested in doing it, but the latter so you have a ****ing reason to put it on people's faces.

hbkrajeev July 17th, 2008 11:54 PM

original ones...
better we cud use new trainer sprites than new pokemon,,
and above all ya i too like pokemon upto 150..

articuno learning moves so late and that too so little,,
blizzard on 73???

serpent July 18th, 2008 9:48 AM

Original Pokemon, the fakemon show alot of effort but they are usually ugly looking for a pokemon game imo. There are a few hacks where i actually like the fakemon.

MewtwoMaster1 July 20th, 2008 7:57 AM

Well, I prefer real Pokemon, because it stays more "true to the original", and not the hacker turning the game into their own (even if it is, technically, their own...).

sudden_hit July 21st, 2008 8:58 AM

I prefer Original pokemon as they are made by proffesionals and are almost always going too look much better than Fake pokemon. Most people seem to lack in enthusiasm when making Fake pokemon and sort of make all the pokemon pretty similar but with the odd colour change or shape change... It just gets a bit repetative and are all Black lines on the outside with no AA whatsoever :S But I suppose if there were some really GOOD fake pokemon i wouldnt mind playing the game with them.

X-aveon July 21st, 2008 10:02 AM

i prefer both hackemon,( i don't like fakemon), and pokemon.
I'm making a hack with pokemon from kanto, johto, hoenn, sinnoh,
and some hackemon.(most)

here's a sample:: Its called ::Femit::

BTW, Hackemon sounds cooler than Fakemon

Kanzler July 22nd, 2008 4:21 PM

I kinda agree to both sides of the arguement, as the only reason im tied to both sides is cuz the fakemon right now look really crappy. If someone could make authentic looking graphics, and an authentic stereotypical pokemon storyline (definetly not quartz), i would definetly play with fakemon out of a need for variety.

Mr.Fury July 24th, 2008 6:31 PM

yeah original is better, not sure why.

perhaps because the ones who create them spend more time on their creations rather than mapping/storyline.
