Ultimately people will take what they see as the worst thing about an announcement and make a sweeping generalization over the entire generation, leading them to scream "This looks stupid!", "This isn't Pokémon!" and "I will not buy it!".
This leaves them looking awfully silly when it releases and they lap it up like they always do. |
I agree with you. The first two seasons for me was good enough. Third was ok, fourth was pushing it a little and now 5th?? It may be going overboard :/
|
They turned badass, and I have no problem with it. :]
It's not that big of a deal to me. |

Similarly Electabuzz got a bump from a decent 490 BST up to an impressive 540, as did Magmar. And Gligar had a paltry 430 BST, whereas Gliscor has a much more impressive 510. I guess it's easy for me to concentrate on how their stats make the evolution worthwhile though, because I happen to think that Gliscor, Electivire and Magmortar all look better than their respective pre-evolutions. |
I love Gliscor.
Great stats, sure, but he looks amazing. As good as any Pokémon from Gens I, II, or III. |
The simple Pokemon?
Red and Gold caught them all. You're now left with these ones. |
Gliscor is amazing. Rhyperior on the other hand looks like a fat guy with a bad nose job.

No thank you. I'm enoying Platinum at the moment. The battle system is vastly superior to any other game, and I'm catching the Pokemon I like and ignoring the other ones. Quote:

One of my friends "gave up on Pokemon" and sold every single one of his Pokemon games due to his outrage about the new pokemon designs.
"They're really running out of ideas," he said. "They made an ELECTRIC ZEBRA!" Sorry to trash on him, but I have to say...the words Electric and Zebra put together sound pretty darn cool to me. Some of the new designs aren't great, but hey, I'm sure there have always been certain pokemon that certain people don't like. As people get older their tastes in Pokemon change. I love Bird pokemon, but I don't like Delibird. Yet I'm sure I could grow to like him if I trained him. :) |
I really don't understand the "they're running out of ideas" or "these Pokemon are so unoriginal" arguments.
Let's take a look at Gen 1 (aka the only gen that did anything right.) http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w209/ChiNeko_2007/Pokemon/Poison/Grimer.pnghttp://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e341/aseleniab8104/muk.jpg Here we have the "create an evolution by taking the first one and making it bigger" method. Not too original if you ask me. Next we'll explore the "create an evolution by throwing in some more of the exact same Pokemon" method. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f163/Matt188_2008/Magnemite.pnghttp://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f163/Matt188_2008/Magneton.png http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk316/firefox1362/Diglett.pnghttp://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x164/amflores11/dugtrio.gif http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n154/PERDZ87/koffing.gifhttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q203/scottisaloser12345/Pokemon/weezing.png And last but not least we have the "create an evolution by turning the first Pokemon upside down" method. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn202/ReyHadesSharinganbyakugan/Pokemon/Voltorb.gifhttp://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f164/j_cushway/electrode.jpg This is also, of course, an extention of the "take something you have already created (Pokeball) and reuse it for the sake of creativity" method. |

Lol yeah =3=
I won't ever sell my games ever even if I decide to quit, which'll probably happen the next time Jirachi awakens for Arceus's sake :P |
Like I said before, even when the Kanto Generation was current I hated how some of them were kinda stupid... MR MIME, PERSIAN, DITTO, if I can type in the Pokemon's name without Spellcheck kicking in something is wrong. Also, JYNX and MR MIME were the first to "not look like Pokemon". Dewgong, Pidgy, Seel, Raticate, and a few others look like real animals... ur going to get your flaws in every generation and that's been the case since the beginning.
|
The naturalistic style is virtually non-existant with Pokemon now, which is why people dislike them. There's no reason to be hatin' on people just because they prefer their Pokemon simple and with less round features. There's nothing more to it.
So far I hate all these Pokemon, so things are looking to good. I might resort to using only oldies this time around. |
"What happened to the old simple Pokemon?"
It evolved :) |
...yes, Pokemon evolved and this thread died! Please don't revive dead threads.
