5th Gen Elemental Monkeys: Welcome addition or overkill? [ #16 ]

[Perriechu]

I think there just gimmicks in a way :/

There the Plusle and Minun of Triple battles. However they are overly cute <3

 

[PsychoJigglypuff]

Pfft, I see no problem with them. Heck, I used my grass monkey for a good portion of the game, until I realized I had no need for a grass type. o3o;;

→ The idea is nice but I don't like the designs
→ I love pretty much everything about them
​

Those two for me basically. I like some of the designs but some of them are just a little weird looking to me. I really like how no matter what there is another unusual early game type available to everyone, and you don't even have to battle to get it. They help you with the first gym and are fairly good throughout the rest of the game at least until you find someone else that does the role better (for example I replaced by Boappu - I still havn't learned the English names - with the much awesomer Hitomoshi). What is also nice is that you can actually get any of them soon afterwords in the forest before Hiun City.

In my opinion, they are are Eevees (Pansage, Panpur, and Pansear) and when they evolve they become like Leafeon, Vaporeon, and Flareon (Yanakki, Hiyakki, and Baokki respectively) Since Eevee wasn't comming along for this Generation, they where made for Grass, Water, Fire coverage. (Keep in mind, I am exculding the other Eeveelutions for this summary.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I like the concept they are based on and their designs evolutions included.

 

[Solaceon Glaceon]

ah well their cute, but they cant kill anything X.x

 

[PlatinumDude]

The elemental monkeys are cool because they help you against the first gym leader (the monkey you get depends on your starter and that monkey is strong against the gym leader's monkey). I like Pansage and Panpour but not Pansear.

 

[Legendary Silke]

Heh... I always find these funny in a good way! So... maybe I'm in the "I like them" camp. I loved everything about them. It's a fun addition to the usual.

And it's another set grass, fire & water Pokémon.

 

[Dent]

I quite like the monkey trio, and what they are meant to represent. Their designs are oddly adorable, in my opinion.

 

[deneric]

I hate them so much *RAGE*

 

[Captain Fabio]

I do like the concept behind it, the whole hear/see/speak no evil.

They don't look that great though. I know it is just ragging on the pixel art of them, but they don't look like anything special to me.​

​

 

[Spherical Ice]

I love their personalities, and the conept is really great, though I think the evolutions aren't that nice and don't really maintain the see/hear/speak no evil themes as much :/

 

[Nakuzami]

I absolutely love their design and concept, and just everything about them. They are very welcome.

Except for the evolutions, they can go home. They suck in my opinion.

I like the way you can obtain the one that is an advantage to the first gym, I also like the concept of the first gym, the way each one has an Elemental Monkey and who you battle depends on your starter, I wonder if in the 3rd game you battle them all.

The concept behind the Elemental Monkey Trio was a good one. Not that I ever thought about it, but it would be an idea that GameFreak would take from a realistic concept and use it as their own. I think my stand on them would be that their concept is good, but the designs (at least for Pansear and Panpour) could have been better; more so for their secondary stages. Even if I didn't like the design or concept however, I still liked the idea of how the game developers used them in a different tactic for the first gym.

Pansage being my favorite by the way.

Pansage being my favorite by the way.

Hiyakki is my favourite, (water final evo)

 

[Sydian]

I don't like the evos, but the basic forms are kinda cute. And I think they're a welcome addition. I have nothing against them, except how overrated they are. But that's not their fault.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Oh my god I love them. Not to fond of their English name, but I love their origin. Its so...ERGH...

But yeah, Monkeys to Genies.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

I'm not a big fan of their designs, but then again, I'm not a monkey person to begin with.

The concept is fine, sure. It's not like I have to use them. I just have to beat the crap out of them from time to time:3
