I do not miss the old pokemon at all. In fact, even after defeating the Elite Four and getting the National Pokedex, I still use Unova Pokemon.
I mean, who doesn't like a Mienshao with Hi Jump Kick? It does MASSIVE damage, which impressed me, and I caught myself a Mienfoo, evolving it into a Mienshao, and I do not regret it one bit. |
Its not like they are gone forever. Its nice for once to be able to only have new Pokemon on your team, though I wish that there were more evolutions of older Pokemon because that is generally one of my favorite things to see when a new game comes out. But if there is a next generation there should be quite a few new evolutions because of the patter (Gen1 All new, Gen2 many evolutions, Gen3 few evolutions, Gen4 many many evolutions, Gen5 all new, so Gen6 many evolutons!!)
|
Well, it's not like they've been long forgotten or anything so no need to miss them. I personally love seeing new Pokemon whenever they come out, and I still like some of the old ones too.
|
Yes and no. Yes because I liked a lot of the pokemon.
No, because I like all the new pokemon too. I also like the new places. |
Yes and no. I do like using the Unova region Pokemon, although I do miss having a Dragonite in my Party. Good thing I'll be catching a Dratini after I beat the Elite Four. :3
|
I've been enthralled by the new generation to miss them.
Plus, it's not like we're back in the 202 era. The old Pokémon are still accessible through swarms, trading, and other methods. It's also the individuals I've carefully trained for competitive use I miss the most when starting a new generation, and I can bring them along this time. PS. NO ZUBAT OR TENTACOOL! WEEE!! \o/ |
It's so refreshing without Rattata and zubat. :)
|
The older Pokemon haven't disappeared or anything. They're still there. It's kinda refreshing, a change of scenery and Pokemon.
|
Nope, actually. I'm actually feeling like they've covered almost all of their bases with variety in the new Pokemon; I know that even if I started over with a new file, I'd probably use entirely different Pokemon and play through the game in a whole different manner. I really like the new ones that they've introduced, and while I'll miss my Gliscors and Tyranitars and Metagrosses for the time being, I'll get them later, and I'll enjoy my Excadrill and Conkeldurr until then. ;)
|
Not at all. I was bloody sick of Geodude/Zubat infested caves and Tentacools constantly having fiestas in the water when I was surfing. I absolutley love how the developing team took them out. It makes the new generation look like less of an afterthought of older generations and more like they have their own niche in the Pokemon world. The way the other gens did it just kinda made them blend in with the first generation, but with all of the first four generations taken out, it really gets you familiarized and even attached to these new Pokemon because of how they're standing out out their own.
And it's not like if you like OMG TTLY HAET DESE POKEMON! DEY SUCK EGGS I HAET DEM OMGGGG!!111 you have to keep them forever. You just need to use them long enough to beat the main story and then you can just trade with older games. |
I just got Black version after an extended break from pokemon. I haven't seen any of the new pokemon except the starters and their evolutions frp, Bulbapedia. I'm not going to spoil the new pokemon for myself (at least not yet, don't know how long that will last) but I'm searching for a wild pokemon modifier code so i can have one of the old starters, because I personally am not a huge fan of the new starters.
|
I bred myself a lot of Pokemon of generations 1-4 and I don't feel it's cheating at all. :D (I'm just at 4th gym and managed to trade some of them). They're even weaker than Gen V Pokemon.
So, I don't have to miss them. I also admit that most of Gen V Pokemon don't seriously appeal to me... (Not that I don't like them, but I find most a bit bland). EDIT: 50th post! ^^ |
I love older gen Pokemon to bits, but I've loved seeing all the new Unova ones.
|
Nope, I do not. I like the older Pokemon but the new ones are so awesome. I like this generation much more than any of the others. Besides you can get other generation Pokemon later after you beat the game.
|
Not really, but that's me i've finished all the other one's so many times it was really refreshing to only see the 5th generation and unlike most people i really like them.
|
I don't miss them, although I do have a bunch of Pokemon waiting on SoulSilver to be transferred over as soon as I beat the game. What I do miss is the region though. Good old Johto...
|
I miss Kanto region only :P
'cuz out of other 3 regions, Kanto region is still a mystery to me :P |
Somewhat, but they got kinda cliche' after a while. I'm loving the new Pokemon.
|
I also really miss the old gen. 1 (and 2) pokemon. Especially the starters :)
That's why I loved HearGold and SoulSilver :D |
I didn't miss them at all, it's refreshing to only see new faces.
That said I finished the game now so I'm encountering past gen pokemon at the moment. I actually hope they do something similar in the 6th gen. (except possible include some past gen evos that don't appear until after the main storyline) |
i dont mind not having them. i love having all new pokemon with none of the older ones. i think if they had included them i would have stuck with the old ones and never would have used the new ones just because i am stubborn like that.
|
I miss some a bit. Starly's line for example (The best 3-stage bird line ever). But I'll soon (after I've caught Reuniclus and Conkeldurr in my second gameplay trough) trade my HG/SS team and my Torterra from Diamond to my White.
|
Nope I do not miss the older Pokemon. These games have so many cool new ones that are much better. Anyways you can get older Pokemon later on.
|
I feel as though the exclusion of older gen prior to the elite 4 was a great thing. I like the fact that the game forces me to get acquainted with pokemon I've never seen. I especially like the fact that no Geodudes, Machops, or Zubats are seen.
Of course you'll always miss some of the prior generation guys but I'm sure you'll find some you like out of the 156 new ones that will become regulars on your teams. |
Not really. I grew up with Pokemon from the Red and Blue generations, and most people label my generation into the nostalgia freaks, but I welcomed the new pokemon and atmosphere.
Sure I missed using my Blastoise, but the whole game experience just excited me. It made me feel like I was 9 years old again. I didn't know what was coming to me, I didn't know most of the pokemon and their types (so battling was fun... and scary). I was literally 'what the heck is a joltik" "omg where is this city I am lost" "screw you last sage, I will find youuuu" "so that's what a haxorus is. oh god save me" |
