The hero/ine sprites are lame. Stupid new 3D-ness.

Ger Japa May 28th, 2010 7:15 AM

Honestly, don't like the game to turn into 3D, it will be much heavier n much more complicated to play :(

Roxas358 May 28th, 2010 7:18 AM

I like the D/P/Pt/HG/SS style, but the B/W style looks way too insane.

Tyler May 28th, 2010 8:37 AM

The new legendaries are a disappointment! Check out pokemon.com if you haven't.

Lanturnista May 28th, 2010 9:09 AM

Black's version mascot.
Everything else I've seen of Gen V looks awesome to me. <3
Edit: Hey, wait, what? The white one is the Black mascot? I'm so confused. @[email protected] Pokémon.com is messing with my brain.

Since I'm from Generation I player, i'm totally dissapointed with the version mascot. The version Mascot somehow are too digimon like. Cool for the eyes, but not satisfy the need of a pokemon unique charm. Each generation legendary retain a special charm even legendaries in D/P/PT still have it. But now, i'm disappointed that Pokemon gradually loss its special charm.
The starter also "doubtful"

Madam Cheezy May 28th, 2010 11:11 AM

The grass and water starters look like they were put together at the last minute, especially the water one. Also, the legendaries are completely boring altogether.

The 3-D thing might work, as long as they dont smack you around too much with it. I agree, it does look like an old ps2 graphic at times. The big city thing....well, I dont like it now, but, who knows. Maybe I'm just being stubborn.

Maybe we can finally get an Electric/Dark type now? [/hope]

Shvibzik May 28th, 2010 11:38 AM

For now just the water starter, it's just an uber fail.
The rest of the game seems to be A-Ok, specially the white legendary

I am completely with you. When I was much younger pokemon was one of the coolest things ever. I loved every single pokemon from #1-386 (Kanto to Hoenn in case you didn't know) and enjoyed every version from Generation I-III. But now starting with DPPT I have seen a change in the pokemon games that I once knew. Most designs for pokemon since then have had a very digimon-ish look in my opinion and I just couldn't like them as much. I don't know, it may just be me . . .

I can be a bit too pessimistic/cynical at times about new games, but here we go. I'm not particularly fond of the 3D they have going right now, since from the shots of walking around the circular bay town, things look a bit...dizzying. The legendaries look a bit too much like gray-scale Dialga and Palkia. Zoroark's design looks positively awful, but since that's only one Pokemon, I'll have to wait for more design releases before making a final judgment on this generation's Pokemon.

Nick June 27th, 2010 9:12 PM

The only disappointment I have thus far are the overdone Pokémon that look more like Yu-Gi-Oh cards than anything. Like all of the Pokémon shown in this screenshot. Seems to me like they're going through with the more humanoid looking Pokémon; sort of like they did with Generation III.

Ravecat June 27th, 2010 9:16 PM

The overworld graphics.

That is all.

But generation 1 had many humanoid pokemon too, Alakazam, Machomp, Jynx, Mr. Mime, Rhydon, Mewtwo and their families! So new Humanoid pokemon weren't new in generation 3 or 4.

Bluerang1 June 27th, 2010 10:24 PM

Those new very recently released Pokemon *pukes* They're a Ben 10 alien and that girl in Black form D/P/Pt Pokemon-fied.

Yuoaman June 27th, 2010 10:36 PM

I have two major disappointments: the lack of Pokemon following the player, and the battle backgrounds.

Waffle-San June 27th, 2010 11:10 PM

Basically just that there appear to be no Pokemon following you. :( But I won't let that stop me from enjoying the game!!

bookauthor1123 June 27th, 2010 11:34 PM

so far the only thing I can say I'm 100% disappointed in is the new Region Map. To me it's the outlier for the other regions. Like that guy who brings his son on Bring-Your-Daughter-To-Work Day.

It looks to far off from the others, in that Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh all have a quick and easy-ti-tell resemblance to a major city in Japan, and Ishuu or whatver the official name is, doesn't really look like much to me. Plus the way the map looks, I'd prefer it to e a little more grasslandish and not too, man-made buildings that take all the room for the pokemon.

That is just one of the problems I see, I'm sure there'll be more...

Masterge77 June 28th, 2010 3:29 AM

The biggest dissapointment (and my biggest complaint) is that Zorua is event only, now I will proabably never get one, thanks a lot for screwing the fans AGAIN Nintendo.....

The thing about that is that Isshu is far away from the other regions, as it's already previously been confirmed.

Charmageddon June 28th, 2010 7:14 AM

The new Pokemon. I really hate to be a new-Pokemon basher, but although each generation has improved the gameplay massively, the Pokemon themselves... I think they've gone downhill, to say the least. This latest set... I know the screenshot doesn't give the greatest quality, but they look like Fakemon done in MS Paint. That Mantis thing wouldn't look out of place in Pokemon Quartz.

EDIT: Oh my God I missed some, It gets worse!


Seriously, what is that green floating thing even supposed to be?

Alyssachu June 28th, 2010 7:25 AM

I don't understand why there's a seashell, or whatever it is, on the water starter's belly. Why should that one get a symbol but there others don't?! I DON'T KNOW, IT JUST BUGS THE HELL OUT OF ME! D8< ... I'm so picky. I don't even know. XD

akaFilanachi June 28th, 2010 7:32 AM

I think they could have designed some of the new pokemon better(examples: Gear, Pokabu, the bird thingy), the 3v3 battles are just plain stupid, and the graphics look pretty bad.

Roughsponge June 28th, 2010 7:54 AM

I really hate the graphics, especially in battle.. I think it's because of them moving and stuff, but I'd rather they didnt move than go back to the pixely backsprites of R/B/Y... I'm just praying they look less pixely on my ds.

Azure-Supernova June 28th, 2010 8:47 AM

None of the revealed Pokémon so far have been partiuclarly impressive... some are starting to look like Digimon and some just plain retarded. Especially Mijumaru, some kind of retarded clown with a scoop of ice cream for a head...

I'm hoping that the gyms aren't all that gimmicky... I'm all for puzzles to get to the leader, but a rollercoaster?

There's very little I'm actually excited about with this game...

XxRogueTrainerxX June 28th, 2010 8:57 AM

I too am not particularly fond of the new Pokémon... almost all of them lack any thought or creativity at all. Mijumaru annoys the living hell out of me... its Pokédex entry reads "Sea Otter Pokémon", but honestly, it looks more like a retarded squirrel without a tail and an oversized head. Pokabu is probably going to be my starter Pokémon choice, but it looks like a cross between Grumpig and Charmander. On to the others, Chiramii looks unpromising, both in design and ability (but it would be hilarious if it evolved into something that resembles a rabid chinchilla the size of an Ursaring). As for the graphics and new features, they're actually halfway decent.
