Too many Pokemon?

The reason why people may not be satisfied with 3rd and 4th gen is because other designers apart from Ken Sugimori were designing the Pokemon.. He's stated that he would like to create the next batch himself tho.
 
I believe that there are too many now. When a new set of Pokemon comes out I always feel very over whelmed and am a bit reluctant to play the new games because I feel I haven't even completed the last game. 500 is too many, but I will still get the game because it is something I have been looking forward to for a long time.
 
:laugh: After a wile you get kinda board with 386 pokemon pretty fast, I meen, if they stopped with 151 then I probly wouln't have cared for the games after a few years unless they got better grafics. Anyways, Havn't you noticed that animals are discoverd every ones and a while!I see what you meen though, maybie pokemon should be "discoverd" every ones and a while, like in real life, but I'm ok with them making 100 pokemon all at ones.:laugh:

It's been 2 years since the last game was released, plenty of time to finish it :p

500 pokemon over 10 years. It's not that much.
 
I hope that with WiFi and all, they can extend the time between the 4th and 5th generation.
 
Now that pretty much every non-legenday, non-starter Pokemon can be catchable in D/P, getting a huge variety of Pokemon is no big deal at all. As long as my precious Shuckle makes it to D/P, I'll be happy.

Collecting is fun, but no one should stress over huge amounts of Pokemon. Just be happy that there is a variety. I like variety. I just wish there were more Fire Pokemon.
 
Kinda yes kinda no, i liked the original ones, and i think they SHOULD have new ones, but im not sure how many more they are gunna add.. so :)

Well said. As far as variety, I'd like them to even out the types. Am I the only one to notice how there are more water types than anything else?

YES, THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY

We need more fire types and steel types. Dragons too. If they dont make more pokemon, then all the possibilities wont be revealed and, obviously, the series will die.
 
I can wait for the next unveiling of the new 5th generation Pokemon which should begin possibly this time next year.
 
...Usually it takes 2-4 years between Generations (e.g. R/B/Y= 1997-1998ish, G/S/C= 2000, R/S/E= 2003, D/P= 2007)

Do you realise how offensive that post is? I'd love to give you an infraction for it. Basically, you're calling everyone who doesn't bother memorising it because it takes up too much mental space retarded. That's offensive to both people who don't have learning difficulties and people who do, because comparing being an ordinary person who can't remember all 500 Pokémon names [I mean, for heaven's sake, those tens of thousands of nouns will come in handy in our lifetime, memorising the Pokédex isn't going to get us a job] to being mentally retarded is disgraceful. =/ Memorising those tens of thousands of nouns... I read the dictionary, I have a huge vocabulary, but I can't just call it all to my head; I don't spend all day remembering all the nouns I know.

Teehee, I have to correct you there. While I agree with you in the fact that it is an offensive post to those who can't remember the names of the pokémon, memorising the pokédex might boost your chances of getting a job with Nintendo. >w<;;

Actually, I noticed this the other day as well. O.o My box for water-types in Ruby is now full to overflowing, as I recently sent over a bunch of 'monners from my FireRed game. I'm having to move most of the hybrids to fit in the pure ones. Now I'm going to lose my lotad. D: It was the first pokémon I officially caught on Sapphire. <3

It's elitism, pure elitism.

It really was offensive.. I mean people have their own opinions and if they chose not to spend all their days just memorising different types of pokemon and rather spend their time doing something which benefits them more; like school then there is nothing the matter with it.

I think they need to stop. =/ They're getting unoriginal. They need to introduce more interesting things to the game, not just churn out a few more lame things. --; Like a baby Mantine? Gah, it's cute, but...

New pokemon maybe unoriginal.. I give you credit on that.. but it just depends on the way how you look at it. I mean there billions of animal spicies on Earth, many of whom look very very much alike but people (at leats many people) like them and appreciate them. You can't just come up to a dobermann and a rotweiler (I'm not sure if I spelled it right) and say one is a copy of another just because they're both dogs and look alike. New animal evolve every day. Of course many of them look alike but still they are all very different nontheless, and we should try to look at every pokemon like an individual. Yeah, sure Beautifly is similar to Butterfree but I'm certain that it must also have it's unique qualaties which Butterfree doesn't and the same goes for Butterfree too. It is perhaps just the flaw of the game or the anime that they didn't depict the unique characteristics of certain pokemon.

I think this is the way we should look on pokemon too. Sure it is difficult to catch all those pokemon in the game, I don't have the games at home but I did played them a few times so I know how it works. But still I think that the whole point of cathing pokemon is that it is supposed to be hard. If caught a pokemon for which I was trying to catch for a long long time, I would feel most pleased that I have finally achieved my goal. Let's not forget the harder is the path to success the more sweet is the taste of victory (it is not really a saying.. I just made it up.. lol)

P.S. Does anyone know if Satoshi Tajiri drew all those pokemon.. I mean he is the creator of pokemon but there so many new different pokemon that I think that there's a different author behind them. And do you think there's a possibility for a pokemon fan to contact Nintendo or whichever company designes new pokemon and send them his own scetches of a new pokemon and then they would decide wheter they will use for the game and the anime or not?

The more the merrier people.. Pokemon fans should welcome new Pokemon with open arms!! We wouldn't want Pokemon to stop at wherever it is, would we.. Let's just continue the Pokemon trend
 
I dissagree .
I love the challenge, and for me, I make my PC in numerical oder so I have to catch all the Pokemon. And I have in all games. Even the Unknown, All in alphibetical order.
And be honest, who in the world hassn't cheated in catching the "special event pokemon".
But I think Pokemon has lost its touch a little bit. The first 151 where uniek, and more realistic.
 
How can a Charmender be more realistic than a Bippa? They both have supernatural abillities :/
 
Yup, I agree, WAY to many Pokemon. And they're starting to run out of species ideas.

Take Butterfree for example. That Pokemon was awesome, and now they copied it to make Beautifly/Dustox.

Now, Spoink. Kinda cute, but admit it, it's a pig with a squiggly tail.

Anyone get my point?

Yes, i think by now the pokemon public has noticed the similarities between pokemon and other pokemon.
ex.butterfree/beautifly

But than again those are obviesly parts of species.
Its not that there runnning out of species, there making more families.
ex. in real life theres butterflies, but theres different butterflies. Monarc and common white.

See pokemon is becoming more real but more fantasy at the same time.

See so lests think for a minute. butterfree is a bug/flying type, along with beautifly.

So they fall into the category of bug and flying. The species is butterfly, but they are still differet and unique.

So butterfree is related to beautifly as Dustox is related to Venomoth
and vileplume is related to roselia, and sunflora. All different ex.
