i just cannot wait to see the starter pokemon. im hoping for a cool grass hybrid like grass/flying or grass/dragon

インフェルノの津波 April 11th, 2010 8:36 AM

I wish for a Special version of Dragon Dance.

Yeah,but the grass starter has to be based on a flightless bird, because we have had a two flightless birds for fire and water

Mujahid April 11th, 2010 8:38 AM

I seriously doubt there's gonna be dragon type starter....they want us to catch those ever-powerful dragons.they will never gift us them..moreover it'll make our starter pretty darn strong as compared to other region starters which won't be good...if they wanted they could've so easily done that with sceptile

インフェルノの津波 April 11th, 2010 8:38 AM

Like a dodo/baby dinosaur bird?

If they did that, they should do that to ALL of the starters.

Pokestick, good times. April 11th, 2010 8:41 AM

Maybe a bug starter? Or would that be too useless and suckish? XD

Maybe a bug starter with GOOD STATS then? :O

billi1000 April 11th, 2010 8:43 AM

i think the starters aren't suddenly going to shift to different types away from the traditional grass/fire/water typing but it would be a new experience to have dragon or dark or psychic to start with, hey maybe they will merge some of these types with the starters or their evolutions?

SolarAbusoru April 11th, 2010 8:49 AM

I wonder how big some of the cities will get...
and i still want there to be an airship

Eos Aduro April 11th, 2010 8:50 AM

Well they could do a sort of double type starter circle. Say we stick with Fire-Water-Grass, but we also have Fighting-Dark-Psychic. So, double type it into, Fire/Pyschic-Grass/Fighting-Water/Dark. So now, its pretty much 2 sets of types with one starter. It also works with Fighting-Rock-Flying, my peronal fave.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 11th, 2010 8:54 AM

I have notice that the water starter for the last two gens have both the types of the first two mascots for example: Swampert has both Water and Ground like Kyorge and Groundon while Empleon has had Water and metal like palkia and diagra. not counting the water legendaries they have pratically had water combine with one of the first version legendary type...

インフェルノの津波 April 11th, 2010 8:55 AM

No, they would do Grass/Dark Fire/Psychic Water/Fighting or Grass/Fighting Fire/Steel Water/Rock to balance it out.

Bluerang1 April 11th, 2010 8:56 AM

Who says Zorua evolves to Zoroark? I heard they were companions. So this could mean that they could both be Legendaries, like Manaphy and Phione.

It was revealed ages ago in a Corocoro scan that Zorua is the Pre Evo of Zoroark, this fact was also highlighted by a big yellow (I think it was yellow) arrow pointing from Zorua to Zoroark

Well, all the sites have pretty much said that, bulbapedia, pokebeach, and even seribii.net have all said that Zoroark evolves from Zorua, and didn't it say that when they got revealed anyways.

Izanagi April 11th, 2010 9:14 AM

What the frick. Why would we have different typed starters? Water/Fire/Grass will NEVER change.

Bluerang1 April 11th, 2010 9:18 AM

I want more speculation. How about what the Rodent will be this time? Maybe a bunny?

Pokestick, good times. April 11th, 2010 9:20 AM

We mean double-typed.
I like Fighting-Rock/Steel-Flying... Altho that would make the steel one strong to alot of types... But if Empoleon could, then why not?

I like Fight-Dark-Psychic too, but it may be hard to work out, as psychic is unable to damage dark at all XD

And don't we have enough rodents already? They seem to get worse and worse every time, so why not stick with the old ones? I personally think that the less new Pokémon, the better.

SolarAbusoru April 11th, 2010 9:20 AM

we've had a bunny (Buneary), next would probably be.....(lesse, we've had a Rat, a ferret, a racoon, a bunny, so...) I dunno

Generation IV's Rattata was Bidoof. :X

Because what qualifies as a "Rattata" of the region is;
1. Normal-typed
2. Usually on the first Route in the Region

It was:
Rattata, Sentret, Zigzagoon, and Bidoof.

So, Rat, Ferret, Raccoon, and Beaver :O

It's like the "Pidgey" of Regions;
1. -flying typed
2. USUALLY on first route, but Gen III exception

It was:
Pidgey, HootHoot, Taillow, and Starly.
So, Pidegon, Owl, Swallow, and Starling.

OMG I WOULD DIE WITH HAPPINESS IF THE NEXT REGION HAS A CARDINAL. :D

Pokestick, good times. April 11th, 2010 9:37 AM

What's next? A new cat? A horse? A little elk?

Bluerang1 April 11th, 2010 9:42 AM

Hamster! Hamster poke... oh, Pickachu :(

Alrgth then, the next Normal Rodent we'll encounter on our first route is: a porcupine! They are rodents, and there isn't a Porcupine Pokemon. Thank you Google!

インフェルノの津波 April 11th, 2010 9:44 AM

LOL, Pikachu is a Pika(actual animal, see google) and a mouse. But Porcupine sounds awesome.

Pokestick, good times. April 11th, 2010 9:45 AM

Pikachu's a mouse. Maybe a guinypig...

SolarAbusoru April 11th, 2010 9:46 AM

Hows about an Echidna, that would be interesting

Oh cool, so we could encounter a Hamster and Porcupines could be in a more exotic location.

This thread is the only reason I come here now D:

インフェルノの津波 April 11th, 2010 9:47 AM

OH YEAH? I HAVE PROOF! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pika

And I would like to see a Stantler evo. And Tauros.

Pokestick, good times. April 11th, 2010 9:47 AM

A chihuahua XP

Nah, I don't know... A normal type fox may be interesting...

:X

I think they already played those cards....

Perhaps something else, maybe a different Household pet?
If they haven't done every different variant already. :X

A Porcupine does sounds nice, but I think Sandslash and Shaymin already cover that animal :/

La Foudre April 11th, 2010 9:51 AM

Not sure how I feel about the 3D angles and stuff.

Did we learn anything from Pokemon Sunday?

インフェルノの津波 April 11th, 2010 9:51 AM

Shaymin is a hedgehog.

Also, I think they'll do a.....guinea pig XD? Or maybe a capybara.

Guess why I said NEW cat? The existing ones are quite bad, IMO... And I love cats...
There's one horse and one unicorn, both fire types, shouldn't there be more?
I'd rather say Stantler is a reindeer, not an elk...

Izanagi April 11th, 2010 9:59 AM

A Pegasus, a Hydra, a Cerberus, a Griffin... those mythical creatures would be cool.

GlitchCity April 11th, 2010 9:59 AM

ugh thanks for making me read 8 pages (good ideas though dont get me wrong lol) So I was a little dissappointed when I woke up this morning :\ Im going to jump on the characters designs. Well so far we have only seen the male and female character and many are dissappointed with the "caps' because its unoriginal. Well maybe thats a demo, a demo of custom trainers o.o well Im not going to let the characters designs get me down because we still dont know if we are able to customize our trainers :D (happy again!) And if we dont get custom trainers this time around, I hope that the females design is better than the males design for once. (why are the males design better than the females anyway?)

SolarAbusoru April 11th, 2010 9:59 AM

what about a Harpie?.......toned down of course.

Bluerang1 April 11th, 2010 10:00 AM

A human Pokemon. I'm, such a n00b xD

kevcrash April 11th, 2010 10:03 AM

Don't shoot me if you don't agree, but I think they should make an evolution for Mightyena (:


Also I think they should make a Lock-ness (forgive my spelling) Monster pokemon. Maybe a pre-evo and thenthe real thing (:

I thought that once, then I remembered Lapras :) They could do a pre-evo for that. I don't see the point of pre-evo's though :/

Lapras is sort of based on a Plesiosaur, which is what the Loch Ness Monster is thought to be, so we kind of already have a Nessie Pokemon.

I was expanding the idea, not challenging it :O

Elks are similar to Stantler based on thier design, but yes, Stantler is a Reindeer. :O
Mooses are, too.

Mightyena could use one for its stats, but I'd be fine if they just increased its stats then just give it an evolution. Mightyena are win as is.

GlitchCity April 11th, 2010 10:14 AM

I think its time for another dinosaur pokemon >:D I want a kick-ass T-rex pokemon. Rampardos doesnt really resemble a t-rex to me. And why does all the dinosaur-based pokemon have to be rock? Aerodactyl, Tyranitar, and Rampardos. Meganium is the only dino pokemon who isnt a rock type, but it can learn rock moves.

SolarAbusoru April 11th, 2010 10:16 AM

yet again, Lapras is a dino.

anyways, we need a velociraptor Pokemon.
and like a true Velociraptor, with feathers, not like the one from Jurassic Park.

so it would probs be Flying/and something

really? Never really thought of it as a dino. And I agree with you 100% on needing a velociraptor based-pokemon. That would be BA.

I think we need more Elephants. More powerful elephants I might add. Donaphan is too stubby for me. Why not a powerhouse elephant?

we could also do with a Honey Badger Pokemon, those guys are seriously vicious, even Lions and Tigers run from em

Speaking of Tigers, I believe we dont have a tiger-based pokemon yet. We have lions, but not tigers.

piemeup April 11th, 2010 10:27 AM

What they should do is make more types. Another topic in this discussion is what would happen if you tryed to trade the new pokemon over to D/P/PL/SS/HG? Would they transform into some virus that would eat your game and destroy the world... Yes I know my mind is a bit "off". On the other hand the new types they could introduce could be something like... Light? Virus? Moon? Elephant? Leopluridon? Who knows.

They'd just do the same thing they did in GSC and RBY. And what they do with the knotch-eared Pichu. If you have a pokemon that isnt in those games, you cant go in the trade room set up for HGSSDPPt.

Bluerang1 April 11th, 2010 11:30 AM

You guys are moving slowly now, here's my time to do other stuff :)

Dillon_68 April 11th, 2010 11:32 AM

Opossum pokemon ftw. I have always thought of that one, lol. It could be called Mussopo, which is opossum backwards.

That would actually be really bad-ass.
And have we ever had an eagle based pokemon?

daveyp1997 April 11th, 2010 11:37 AM

I'm really hoping Zorura is a starter they havnt made a dark type starter before

It's not. It needs three stages.

GoGoShinyDunsparce April 11th, 2010 11:58 AM

Presuming they don't bring in a new type, and that they do give us around 150 new pokemon...
Has anyone tried to predict the type distribution yet?

For example, gen 4 had heaps of Ghost, Ground and Steel types (comparatively speaking), with very few Psychic, Fire and Waters. I think in the fifth gen, they'll definitely focus on Dark and Psychic. Anyway, I've made a list of my predictions (note I have not included Legendaries!):

Grass: 4 families - they've been giving us lots of Grass lately, they may have decided on a slowdown after Leafeon
Bug: 6 families - slightly fewer than ever because we have a lot of them already
Poison: 12 families - a huge increase, they haven't given us more than 4 families at a time since RBY, plus I'm hoping they'll do sth to make Psn more workable :D
Fire: 7 families - I want more! That's roughly what they gave us in RBY
Water: 13 families - an average number for the prolific waters, because they really stinged in gen 4
Ice: 5 families - very few of them, only starting to increase the number since gen 4
Normal: 10 families - I predict a long-needed decrease in Normals and Flying types
Flying: 8 families - See above - there are always so many Pkmn with Flying as 2nd typing!
Dragon: 1 family - there'll be perhaps 1 more as a legend, but they'll want to keep the type rare (I hope)
Electric: 5 families - no change here, though I think they'll at least be quite good (RSE brought us only disappointment)
Ground: 6 families - an average number, neither a dip nor a rise
Rock: 7 families - hello rock types! RBY gave us 6, while gen 4 gave us 4; it's time for another rise
Fighting: 6 families - to offset the Dark types
Psychic: 9 families - a strong focus on a rare type, plus gen 4 gave us a massive TWO non-legend non-baby psychics
Ghost: 2 families - keep it rare, people, we've seen a 500% increase in their number since Johto
Dark: 8 families - a strong focus on a rare type
Steel: 4 families - a much-needed slowdown here as well, their number has been accelerating fast

Note that with overlap (double-typing), that translates to about the number of pkmn RBY had : )

Anyone else got some ideas?

Kirbychu April 11th, 2010 12:01 PM

On wi-fi we should be able to do the same thing that Gym Leaders do in-game. We could set a couple of phrases that would be displayed when we're losing, like notable trainers in the 4th gen.

I think this is a good idea, it means more personalization and is an added touch that would just improve the gloss on the game, since they don't seem to make any big changes.

Agreed. It'd let us all be a bit more unique. Another thing is, if we don't have customizable characters for in-game (which I really doubt we will), why not let us customize our Wifi sprite? I think that'd be rather awesome.

I haven't really thought of customizable characters, but that would be a really good feature to include. Obviously they will stick to the generic boy/girl sprites, but some form of customizability would be an idea.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 11th, 2010 12:25 PM

I think we should have a giant squirrel pokemon( yes they do exist) that's ground/electric type or just a huge size pachrisu evolution insted. I also want a dolphin, I love dolphin, they are just so playful.

GoGoShinyDunsparce April 11th, 2010 12:27 PM

Mark my words, there'll be 4 Grass-type families in B/W, I can feel it - hopefully at least one of them will be some other colour than green!

I hope we get a little more uniqueness to each Pokemon, like the gender differences.

I saw this theory somewhere regarding Spiky-eared Pichu. If a Pikachu is bred with a Pokemon from the ground egg-group, the baby will have a spiky ear. If Pikachu is bred with A Pokemon from the fairy group, the Pichu could have something like bigger eyes. If Pikachu is bred with another Pikachu or Ditto, it's just a normal Pichu.

I saw this theory somewhere regarding Spiky-eared Pichu. If a Pikachu is bred with a Pokemon from the ground egg-group, the baby will have a spiky ear. If Pikachu is bred with A Pokemon from the fairy group, the Pichu could have something like bigger eyes. If Pikachu is bred with another Pikachu or Ditto, it's just a normal Pichu.

Actually it's notch was caused due to it's time travel. How many spin-off games do you think gen 5 will have, I mean gen 4 surpassed gen 3 in spin-offs which surpassed both gen 2 and 1 so gen 5 should have as much as gen 4 or even more, I bet more, man nintendo must love all the money there getting from the spin-off and the main series.

That sounds pretty cool, but it'd take up mountains of space if they wanted to do it for every pkmn.

How about an evo for BOTH Plusle and Minun - two different sprite versions of the same pokemon as an evo for two separate pokemon?
Also, it could have an ability that let it piggyback NFE electrics in double battles. The partner would get maxed out defenses but could not attack, while PlusleMinunEvo (Neutrino? Pluminate?) got a permanent Charge effect on Electric attacks :D

This was a theory when the Pichu was just revealed, I really like it.

Maybe they wouldn't have to do it for all of them, like gender differences.

what if they had a legendary pokemon with sucky stats like those of sunkern( the weakest pokemon stat wise (no it's not magikarp)) but then it's stats increase by 1.05 expenetially per turn , it will eventually surpass Arceus after a while.

the problem with that is you'd spend more time defending that pokemon than actually attacking or setting up... meaning you'd lose pokemon for the sake of raising it's stats. it'd be pointless. seems more like a yu-gi-oh thing :S

Ok maybe stronger like a pokemon that's never used or overused, then.

I heard people talking about red,blue,green,and yellow remakes, if they do remake gen1 again (which I hope they don't, enough of Kanto, it's Hoenn's turn for the remake spotlight) I hope they only make one version called pokemon Lightningyellow (not thunder yellow because in real life thunder is a sound caused by lightning in the sky, while lightning is the actual bolt).

DarkJ April 11th, 2010 1:08 PM

I'm really hoping for an Emerald remake. There were hints in HG/SS and Platinum (eg in HG/SS the green pokeball on the pokemon centre floor and the green pokegear background)

SolarAbusoru April 11th, 2010 1:08 PM

I hope the gym leaders in this game (if there are any, which there still probably will be) have some more stranger designs, more varied in some way, Hoenns were varied due to the environment. and some proper back stories to all of em'

So what do you guys think the question mark was on Pokemon Sunday?

A Pokemon? A Trainer? A Villain? my guess is as good as yours, but due to it only being one '?', I'd say it's most likely a Pokemon

@DarkJ you replied to the wrong person

your not very bright are you?

the color of pointless items are not a hint to anything. not to mention remakes come in twos and are of the two main games. emerald wont get a remake. sapphire and ruby will.

I also noticed those hints but they also put in one clue for ruby and sapphire remakes and that steven calling himself the champion of hoenn in Hg and SS not former champ... But if they remake Emerald it should be called either eternalemerald (as in the neverendless sky),Ventusemerald, or Skyemerald, did you know the sky was once green like emeralds during the prehistoric age... anyways I hope Rayquaza can get a new forme in which it actually looks like a ziz. Actually only the gen 3 and 4 third version mascots are based on real legends ( giratina is based on the Balisk whose ashes were said to turn to gold and silver( ha now i know why platinum came first) so the new third version mascot could also be based on a real legendary creature
Ps. Groundon and Kyorge are also based on legendary creatures the Behemoth and Lavithan which will be served by god in the last meal... according to the bible or was it the hebrew bible... ( both are very similar I think..)

Gulpin April 11th, 2010 1:18 PM

I'd like a Plusle/Minun evo where both evolve into the same one. There was a plus (+), a minus (-), and I'd like to see an asterik (*). So like Plusle, Minun, and Aster. Maybe a method of evolution would be to trade a Minun for a Plusle and they both would evolve, or maybe have both in your party then do something (idk.) Maybe have them both hold a magnet (I think it's already an item) and they will be 'attracted' to each other and evolve into the new one. The only problem I can see with this is that little kids would complain of their 2 Pokemon turning into 1.

One thing I would love to see in these games are new and different methods of evolution.

Hey people used the gold and silver pal park ball for hints of gold and silver remakes and they came true and besides I heard somewhere that the creators of pokemon said theywill never remake Ruby and sapphire... but I'm not sure if that was real, so they might just make emerald remakes.

I caught that too, but I never connected that with RSE remakes... Good eye...

firstly it's 'you're not very bright' not 'your'
secondly, I think if you'd researched a bit, you'd find that the hints for HG/SS in D/P were put there for a reason. And who says they ALWAYS come in twos? the last 2 remakes have done, but they might break away from that. if I'm wrong then I'm wrong, but I believe that the next remake will be Emerald...

Again with the rain on parade thing! Try to be a bit more subtle :) I mean he has a point, as Emerald had more features, but then again, Crystal had more features, but they added them to HG/SS. So more likely, to make more money, they'll make LandRuby and SeaSapphire.

that doesn't mean they were hints.

hints are things like jasmine being in the game. or multiple people in the game that talk about johto. not the color of a pokeball.

SolarAbusoru April 11th, 2010 1:24 PM

I know what would be good, the return of slot machines for UK/USA audiences, if they're gonna try and bring back the more mature players then the slots would be one of the things, they just need to bypass that flippin law.

true, but some (not me) used them as hints just check bulbapedia (gold and silver remake speculation hints), plus we don't know , what if juan appears in Black and White then that must mean Emerald, right. Anyways do you think this takes place in the past or in the future compared to the last four generation.

SolarAbusoru April 11th, 2010 1:29 PM

I'd say future, that computer looks more futuristic than the others, and so does the city.

The european union ruined it for all english versions of the game. Will they replace the roulette thing in the RSE remakes, I hope not, I actually wish that had shown up in gen four. How about they make better games not the one they already have, they could have some dart thing or something that like that.

DarkJ April 11th, 2010 1:32 PM

When they said the 5th gen was gonna be 'different from the others' I thought it was either gonna be set in the past or the future, but after seeing the screens I'm thinking more futuristic (I think I prefer this to the idea of being in the past :D)

Lord Varion April 11th, 2010 1:33 PM

In platinum and HGSS
the important trainers were animated

Do you think all the trainers are gonna be animated

I also saw/heard that you see the whole of the Pokémon Back sprite
Which is aweosme

I wanna get Gen 5

The beta release of it is on April 15th

SolarAbusoru April 11th, 2010 1:34 PM

hmm, having all trainers as animated would be quite nice, but I think the important ones were animated to show importance, but ya never know

We need to have a real pokemon based on wolves not just part wolf combined with something else. Hey maybe the fire starter will be a Wolf, it can still be classified as part of the chinese zodaic theory as a dog much like cyndaquil is thought as a rat despite being an endicha( I know I spelled it bad, didn't I). An Water/Ice Polarbear as the water Starter while the Grass starter is a Grass/dragon prehistoric flightless bird, It will still be balance as the grass starter will have 4 times weakness against the water starter's ice attacks and the fire starter's could be fire/electric and can in that way beat the water starter.

Bluerang1 April 11th, 2010 1:42 PM

You know though "scans", although people can see/work-out what they say/show, why hasn't the owner actually "scanned" the images to make them clearer? Maybe they don;t have a camera, then should they be called "Pics" instead? You clearly see the flash light blocking some bits out. Sorry for being ungrateful, I'm just saying. The PokeCentre one looks like a "Scan" :)

I would love that! But if it's full Polar Evo would be Water/Ice, that means the cub will be water at first. That's be odd. Unless they start combo-type starters.
