I thought Nintendo were the leading forerunners in recycling.
I think that there is some fantastic fan art and ideas out there including whats underneath the spoiler of this post. I think that they should take advantage of this and hold competitions for pokemon designs and as an award you get your name in the credits of the game. For much less the fans will do much more, and I think it would really spice up the pokemon selection.
Spoiler:
A pig. An otter. And a lizard bird. For starters in B/W.
Uh. I seriously think the otter is 1/2 Piplup, 1/2 Seal. Really. They look terrible.
They are running out of ideas. The starters are supposed to be some of the best Pokemon o0 These ones look like runty trash.
Grass starter can't be a snake; it has LEGS. WTF?
Yes, cause alot of pokemon are just copies
There is one very realistic and simple answer to your question as to whether they are running out of ideas, and that answer is:
No
True. Wurmple > Weedle > Caterpie All the same.
Pidgey > Starly. You get the point. :S.
I dont think they are running out of ideas, I think its actually good they are making new pokemon that are similar to older ones, because then there are more species of same pokemon, like in real life there there are a lot of different animals of one species. It would be kind of bad if every pokemon was different.
Well, in case some people agree with me, I think Pokemon designs have been mostly horrible since Gen III. Heck, in my opinion there were a handful of stinkers in Gen II.
But Gen V, from what I've seen, seems to be the worst. At least to me the starter Pokemon were cool in Gen III and IV.
Me contradicting myself in some far off claims.
I personally think they should stop making new Pokemon for a while and just make more pronounced gender differences for the already existing Pokemon... perhaps even have different genders have different movesets.

But really can you blame 'em? There's only so much creativity to be had creating cutesy Pokemon... after a few hundred monsters, the designs are bound to start getting ridiculous just to stay "fresh".

I think they might be running out of ideas cause I sometimes like making up my own pokemon, but I have trouble to think of ideas. Now that doesn't mean that they are running out of ideas, it is just harder to make the Pokemon look different. Take Piplup and the new water Pokemon for example, they look very similar. Also, it's going to be harder to mke up cries for the Pokemon, because if you listen very carefully, the Paras cry sounds very similar to Mewtwo's cry.
