Yeah, I miss them, but it's time to move on. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to transfer my bros onto White, but having only new Pokemon makes this game feel fresh. I think it's pretty cool to see my opponent send out a Pokemon I've never heard of. Not knowing the Pokemon's types and strategies makes battles a lot more interesting. When you throw in these new moves and abilities I've never heard of, it's a whole new experience. Yeah, it doesn't really make much sense how the Unovans managed to keep the likes of Ratatta and various bird Pokemon out of their region. It's also kind of weird to see all the Pikachu love in a region that Pikachu isn't even native too. Then again, Pikachu wasn't even native to Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, it had to be imported to the Safari Zone/Trophy Garden...
Anyways, the downside of having nothing but new Pokemon is that the new Pokemon completely and utterly suck. I want simpler and more natural designs just the earlier generations. Bone structure, reasonable body proportions, and resemblance to real animals is getting less and less common amongst Pokemon in each generation. Yeah, I understand that Pokemon don't have to be based off animals and that some of you love all this intense creativity, but I prefer a mixture of that and realism. My White team is composed of very animal-like Pokemon such as Serperior, Galvantula, Sawsbuck, and Zebstrika. That's one of the beautiful things about Pokemon though; there's so much creatures that you're bound to like quite a few, even out of the new ones. I can guarantee that you like at least six of the Unova Pokemon. But yeah, if you really hate them so much you can always trade in some older Pokemon with a little help.
