Which is better, Fakemons or Original Pokemon?

[negative]

I prefer original pokemon, becouse it's too much work with fakemon:
-you need to make/find them, nad they have to bee good.
-you need to insert them, and edit their type, movesets, etc.
- If you find a fakemon, you still need to make a backsprite( except for Samson.)

 

[Wings Don't Cry]

I prefer original but some fakemon look alright, it's better to just have a few fakemon like 60- in a custom pokedex

 

[fizzmaister]

I'm gonna have to go inbetween. The best are variations of existing pokemon. For example, moemon.

 

[Blaziquaza]

For me,50-50.

Since there can be crappy Fakemon and crappy Pokemon(Magikarp,eg.).

 

[zepher1206]

I say Fakemon, but they have to be good, like the ones in Pokemon Torzach.

 

[NarutoActor]

i like both the 25 empty slots should be filled with fakemon thats my view its fun to see what it will evolve to pluse have some of my fav original

 

[Korronensu]

Depends entirely on the creator. I've seen some fakemon that kicked arse, and some that didn't even look like anything at all (aka, SEVER... some say it's a rat standing on his head, but... I don't get it...) and I've seen unspeakably awesome Pokemon (Sandslash, Sneasel, Eevee and all his evolutions except the water one, and Growlithe as he was rendered in FR/LG) and some that weren't worth the pixels they were made of (growlithe as he was rendered in R/S/E, Dunsparce, and Arceus)

Overall, I'm happy with the existing Pokemon, and sincerely hope they keep on creating more... hopefully another spider, and maybe an ant and
[RANT]NO MORE FRIGGING MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES! THERE ARE ALREADY 5 OF THE DANG THINGS TAKE YOUR PICK FROM BUTTERFREE, BEAUTIFLY, DUSTOX, VENOMOTH, or MOTHIM! Somebody just is obsessed over at Game Freak. Mothim was the only one I even liked! There are so many bugs in the world they could base their pokemon on. WHY DID THEY GET STUCK ON BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS?[/RANT]
Anyways, yeah...

 

[xSeduction]

I'd have to agree with the many people who say 'Only professional looking fakes.'
I believe that the best fakemons that I've seen have been Amethyst's and Torzach's.
I really cannot wait to try out both of those games.
On the other hand, however, I've seen youtubes and threads about hacks with stick pokemon and poop pokemon. Seriously? How immature do you have to be to make poop become a pokemon?

As the owner of the thread, I choose Original Pokemon, because they look nicer than the other pokemon but there are Fakemon which looks nice, too. Like MegaMaccer's Fakemon. Original Pokmon's names fit to them but some Fakemon's names fit to them, too.

 

[Shade007]

Original pokemon, but Fakemon if they look well made.

 

[Khaz]

Truely: it matters... fakemons can be horrible or be amazing but seriously we all know the original pokemon

 

[TheReal]

I've played some hacks with fakemons and I liked it, even if they were horrible. I think that sometimes just to try something new, a game with fakemons is very good, and if they're good fakemons, with quality, better. They make the game more interesting, because it's all new. Although, I still prefer the original pokemons.

 

[Napalm]

It really depends on the effort made into the Fakemons, I have seen some amazing creations, some which I can say are better than the original Pokemon. But really, I can't say which is better, because it depends on a lot of things.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

It really doesn't matter to me. Fakemon in a hack show creativity (well for the most part) but on the other hand some of the fakemon look weird and it just ruins the Pokemon game.

 

[Sunnybeam]

-blinks-

It's kinda tough to compare official Pokemon with Fakemon. The main reason for that is that most Fakemon aren't done in the Pokemon style, so there's a feeling of disconnect that affects your opinion of them.

But if the Fakemon actually look and feel as though they could be real Pokemon - I say Fakemon. It's the thrill in encountering an entirely new Pokemon, one that you didn't know existed, that we kind of lose in the official games because we find out about every single 'mon before we get to buy the game. :P Of course, if the Fakemon are badly done, then it makes the whole hack crap to play.

 

[Q-Bone]

I prefer Fakemon, but only under one condition; they look professional, and aren't overdone.

 

[peter5566]

I like original ones.. But some fakemons are pretty cool because ppl tend to come up with some creative ideas..

But, I'm more used to the original ones XD

 

[Curt_09]

I don't see why this is even relevent to ROM Hacking. If people want fakemon in their game, they should go for it. If people don't want fakemon, leave them out.
Surely we still ROM Hack for the enjoyment and chance to express our own ideas and stories through a hack, and not for fame or reputation, tons of fans or awards...

Oh well. I'd rather see fakemon than D/P pokemon resized and inserted by someone who doesn't know wth they're doing.

 

[Empty Pot]

Depends on overall quality and originality. If the fakemon looks like crap, then normal pokemon.

 

[Notched^^]

Hm...Eh...as almost everyone else said it depends on the quality like in Pokemon Quartz I enjoyed catching Fakemons while in Chaos Black I hated it. I would enjoy catching Piplups first design looks like a Dark Dragon Water Type ^^. Oh yes I choose Pokemon since I have not had a challenge catching a Fakemon yet.
