Please take off your nostalgia goggles and not buy any new Pokémon games. |

Nageki and Dageki seem to look out of place in their gi's while the three you've mentioned their clothing doesn't really detract from the overall feel. |
Well maybe you're getting the wrong vibes off them? :P
I'm sure the way gamefreak see them, the clothes suit perfectly. Still, I was just pointing out that there are many designs involving clothes, or that look incredibly similar (such as purple poison rhino/grey rock rhino) before Gen V. |
I think Gen 5 is overall really creative and I'm happy with almost all of the designs. They all seem like really fresh and new Pokemon. I do think some of the bird Pokemon could be made to look a little more...unique in some way but all of the new Pokemon look different from old ones quite a lot.
I feel like a lot of people focus on whether or not a Pokemon looks "Pokemon-like" instead of just seeing it as it's own unique Pokemon regardless of how outlandish it might look. |
Well, the Gen V were certainly creative in their own way, and have proved that Sugimori can survive developing five whole generations of Pokemon without running out of ideas. I do admit that the Pokemon are starting to lean more to the complex design of Digimons, rather than the original, simple designs.

But then again....Victini?
That pidgeon? (incidentally, way more pidgeon-like than Pidgey - an example of the improvements between GB and DSi/3DS) Some are still simple...such as the starters' original forms. Overall, yes, they're more complex. |
On the topic of Gen5 Pokemon being "remakes" of old ones, I didn't really think so when I saw them all. Ignoring the typical Pokemon that occur once every gen anyways (early-game birds, Pikachu-clones, etc), of course. The thing about Gen5 is that the designers intentionally decided to forget about the previously "used" designs. Isshu is far from the other regions, and has little relation to any of them. Thus some of the "already used" animals and ideas could be used again. The new mole Pokemon are not Diglett clones; they merely happen to also be based on moles. Firemonkey isn't a Chimchar clone; it merely happens to be a Fire-Type monkey. I honestly don't think the designers were sitting around going HEY LET'S MAKE ANOTHER TAUROS or anything.

People forget that each generation of Pokemon is coming from a completely different region.
Of course they're going to be drastically similar or drastically different. Fact of the matter is. You can't say they're run out of ideas. Charmander is a lizard with fire. He's a salamander. His name consists of Char and mander, as in charcoal or to char something and mander from salamander. What the hell is bulbasaur? He sure ain't anything I've ever seen to be honest. And squirtle. He's a turtle. A turtle that swims on water and uses water. I've been with Pokemon since the beginning but every generation we get these threads saying that the new generation sucks, or that the developers are running out of ideas or that they won't buy the games because the Pokemon look stupid. Some people are just not willing to accept something new. I mean, have you SEEN Sonic's fanbase? Sega gave them a game they've asked for for years and now they've completely bashed it. It's a good game. Newer Generations of Pokemon aren't lacking in ideas or creativity, they're JUST DIFFERENT. Simple as. After all. One cat isn't the same as another cat. Each generation has a different type or style or a certain idea such as Bird, Dog, Cat Pokemon and the Starters. But it still follows logic, it's a different region so it's going to have different variations of animals and completely different myths than the next region. |

Darkrai isn't any more or less creative than any other legendary. It's an adaptation of certain real-world myths...most likely the idea of a Bogeyman or its Japanese equivalent (whose name escapes me at the moment) with impressive stats and a nearly-broken signature attack. Yes, you're allowed to think that Mewtwo is and always will be the god of the Pokemon universe, but is it so hard to accept that people actually like pokemon from GenIII onward? At this rate, you're not really helping your side of the debate, just making GenI purists look like some kind of bigoted bully. XD |
The new Pokemon are just as creative, but I don't seem to like them much.

Well guys, since we can't keep a civil conversation going in this thread, you can all kiss it goodbye. Someone feel free to make a new one when we can be good boys and girls.
