5th Gen More Unown?

Unless if Nintendo and Game Freak decides to add some Ancient Roman alphabet symbols, like omega and alpha, then I can't see any new Unowns being included for the Fifth Generation. There is no point, really. If so, then what's the purpose of a few more Unowns that no one really use?

I'm going to agree with Derk on this one. Twenty-six alaphabetical and two punctuational Unowns are enough.
 
i really dont think there will be any more unowns. and i really dont want anymore either. if they were actually useable pokemon it might be different but they are too weak to use for battles.

Exactly, I don't see the point of adding more into the game.

Maybe they'll make an unown that's shaped like a key that unlocks a door to a legendary.
that would build some suspense.

I like this idea I think it could work.
The Legend could be called keyra and it could be pure psychic like the uknown and it could have this move where it summons all theese uknown and uses there power to launch a powerful beam!
also this key uknown can only be caught once you have caught all the other uknown!

Wow you were right brainstorming is fun!
 
I'm smiling at this. First off, I agree: 28 unown is quite enough. They either need to make a new pokemon that is available when you catch all of them or just leave them alone. I think it'd be fun to see a pair of legendaries:
A and[FONT=&quot] Ω[/FONT] (alpha and omega). They could be gold-colored and have decent movesets. Also, Alpha could be male, and Omega could be female. When bred, they produce Unown. The catch: only they can pass down egg moves to the unown.

Also, the linguist in me is crying right now, so allow me a geeky moment. A-Z is not the English alphabet. It's the Latin alphabet, which we adopted and grafted the English language to. Alpha and Omega are from the Greek alphabet (which, consequently, begins with "alpha" and "bet".) And be thankful that we got the Latin alphabet for these buggers; the Japanese kanas would have given us over 40 of the little buggers to catch!
 
How bout if they make 3 Unown with these shapes:

It'd be funny if they had a triple battle and the player would be fighting those 3 types of Unown. :) It'd look scary.
 
I doubt it, if they wanted to do that they would have added more already, it's been 10 years since G/S/C which Unown was introduced, I can't see what they would base it off either, they've already done letters and I can't see them doing numbers, but that's just my opinion, you could be right.
 
While I don't necessarily WANT more Unowns, I can't help but think that some would be pretty cool. Maybe stuff like Katakana/Hirigana, Grrek, or even something like Cyrillic, Armenian, or even something else entirely. Either way, I would STILL never be able to catch an M Unown >_<
 
I like the idea of the Key-shaped Unown. It unlocks a cove to a Legendary Lol.

But aside from that, i think they should make numbers 0-9. Then, like the key idea, bade on what however many digit number you make with your team of Unown, different things happen to special places.
 
I doubt there will be anymore. 28 is enough for me.

Thank you. Glad someone knows their culture.

I personally would love to see a few more unown (esp 0-9). And like i think someone else said, there could be a secret area that only opens if you have specific Unown in a specific order. Like the letters OPEN unlock a secret door or something. Sort of similar to the key idea. I also really like the idea of the gold Alpha and Omega Unown.
 
Sure why not. They could easily make more based off of alphabets from other languages. Example:
매일버스가타요, just with that simple Korean sentence they could make like 15 different unknowns and Hangul has over 24 (or 22 can't remember right now) characters. Greek, Russian, Amharic (Ethiopia), Ge'ez, Arabic, Chinese and all these other alphabets or characters (in Mandarin case) could be added and we'd have a hell of a lot of unknown. IMO they should be able to evolve or combine with other unkown to form larger, more powerful unknown. Like the case w/ the Korean I provided. ㅁ- Mieum unkown could combine with ㅐ-ae , ㅇ-ieung, ㅣ- ee, ㄹ and rieul to form 매일 which means every day! xD
 
I don't really think so ^^" Unless they make them for other symbols like -, =, +, @ etc..
 
Twenty-eight is pretty much a good enough number of Unowns, and I'd really not like to go hunting for any larger number than that. When "?" and "!" was added back in the 3rd Generation, I just thought they added them in because they were highly popular symbols that are used with the alphabet. Other symbols like @, >, %, etc. just don't seem necessary. They serve very little purpose other than unlocking certain events in-game; occasionally showing up in other side-stories as well, such as the Arceus event in HG/SS where they showed up. They only learn one move [Hidden Power], have poor stats and don't do much other than float.

In short, please no more Unown forms.

Didn't mean to. You ninja'd me.

But I don't think they'll make more symbols. ! and ? are there because they're really common. % is much less common so aside from every other reason they wouldn't add more Unown why would they add those?
Click to expand...

Lol, but the % and & could have TWO eyes!
 
I don't see the point as to why they would add more. I mean they added a nice twist back in the second generation, but now that everyone knows they are fairly weak and useless adding more would just be overkill. ! and ? were somewhat important since they show expression and are commonly used, but adding numbers and other signs would be too much. Especially numbers, that just seems really silly.
 
Agreed; there are too many Unown right now, and I really don't see the need for any more. With the release of HG/SS, the Unown became available in Gen IV, and by compatability, as B/W are going to be on the DS, the Unown can become available in Gen V through trading, therefore would be an unnecessary addition to the Gen V line-up.
