whew, 22 pages... that took a while...
well some conflicting opinions and a fair bit of DIFFERENT BAD! DIFFERENT BAAAAAD! which is par for the course really.... i remember when gold and silver came out and i was like WTF is this?! but then slowly got used to the new faces. and yeah when the sprites for B&W started showing up i was kinda unsure, but i have to say, overall the genV pokes are pretty good.
i can see why people arnt sure abot the ice cream and trash bag... personally, i really like vanillite, i think he looks cool (pun intended) and love the little puff of icy breath his sprite does, his evolutions tho... hmmmm leave me cold (also intended).
sort of the same with trubbish, trubbish works for me and is pretty cute, however garbodor... meh, i personally am not a fan...
aaaanyways down to my actual likes and dislikes...
the one thing i have found is genV has some pokes that actually make me feel ill when i see them...
oh gods cubchoo... that snot thing is just to gross for words, i was horrified when i first came across this thing, then to my absolute revulsion i watch the snot suck back up its nose then drop back out... i almost threw my ds away from myself in horrified disgust... i have never found mucos coated babies charming nor snot spattered toddlers endearing so i gues the fault is mine... gross. gros gross gross... beartic is ok though...
i also find the timbur line with their exterior veins/tendons a bit ugh so i avoid them at all costs...
other then that its all personal choice i cannot stand watchog, (patrat is ok, obviously a minion of hypnotoad) and lillipup throws me into a murdrous rage whenever i encounter it... hmmm i guess i really am a cat person...
other than that i dont mind most and absolutely love some. zorua/zoroark go down in my book of favorite pokes of all time, just pure glorious awesome, the real deal-breaker for B&W...
im also happy to see bug and ghost types getting some love as the litwick and golett lines are just pure win for me, sky-rocketing to the top of my most loved pokes ever...
yamask, pretty cool and cofagrigus...well overall cool but i just dont dig the arms really just seem thrown on, cool animation though!
ah the bugs, durant cool, the venipede line really cool and the kerrablast/shelmet trade evoltion idea very neat, accelgor just plain cool, hes taking names, you can tell... joltic and evo, also very nice and who cant love larvesta and volcarona? its mothera! MOTHERA! just great, plus the inclusion of super high level evolutions is a nice addition, yeah pain in the posterior but still a neat idea...
im also liking the new dragons, nice to see some pure dragon types, the axew line is very cool and the deino line works for me, and unlike a lot of you i think drudgion is pretty cool...
as for the legendaries, eh, im not really bothered one way or another, the cloud genies, have cool aspects, but like everyone else would of appreciated a bit more variance in appearance...
i am definately a fan of zekrom though, very nice...
hmmm i could natter on for pages but i better wrap it up i guess...
in a nutshell, most of the genV pokes are fine, i feel the fit in the poke'verse well. sure i have some likes and dislikes but no more then the other gens really... i do feel the B&W have brought some of the coolest pokemon to the table though which is no easy task...
