My eyes they burn...Game Freak had lets see about a good 4 years to think of fantastic Pokemon Ideas for 5th Gen, but this is this the best they could come up with?
Gear? Seriously, we have bronzor(who i'm not too big a fan of) and Magnemite...
Chiramii looks so much like a lame digimon its not even funny, i mean it doesn't even look like a chinchilla( not that Pikachu looked like a mouse), but i mean...it looks like a really fluffy Patamon...
and huh? in Arceus' name is Mun'na? It looks like a girly piggy bank crossed with a tapir...i wondered what the guys at Gamefreak were smoking when they came up with it much less approved it...
Hihidaruma = Slaking X Chimchar on roids and crack, i mean seriously, another fire monkey thing? Tsk Tsk...really? more originality is needed
Shimama, finally a zebra...back in the day i was waiting so long 4 a zebra, now we have one...but i'm extremely disappointed in its design, Ponyta/Rapidash are more horse-like than this...Plus Electric? Why Electric? Why not, i dunno Dark? or Dark/Normal, like an Anti-Grirafirig.
Mamepato, the classic bird pokemon, its decent but highly doubt and bird will be able to compete with Staraptor...
The only Pokemon that they revealed that doesn't make me gag or cringe is probably Meguroko
1. Because its a crocodile, you can never go wrong with Crocs/Gators
2. Because its Ground/Dark, i love sandstorm teams, and i know that Hippowdon, Garchomp, T-Tar, Cacturne & This-Guys-Evo will form the ultimate sandstorm team...
3. His secondary ability sounds deadly, this plus maybe stats similar to hippowdon's stats will make a deadly combination
I will say that his design looks a tad i dunno, stupid. It looks like he was a scrapped enemy for a Super Mario Bros. game or something...
Overall i'm disappointed, Game Freak won my approval with Reshiram and Zekrom but lost again with the addition of these guys.
As for the Isshu Region, looks awesome, I'm concerned/curious as to what the story line will be if the No Gym Battles rumor is true...i can't imagine anything else, granted gym battles got boring but i felt as if i had accomplished something...
Glad to see Pokemon Can Follow the player in this, i though that was the best thing about HGSS...
I would have Liked to see Zekrom as Dragon Dark and Reshiram be Dragon/Light because i thought that was the best way to go about making the whole Yin-Yang theme work, and i've been dying 4 a light type ever since Gen 3, but alas it seems dreams don't come true most of the time.
I have really mixed feeling for 5th Gen, it was awesome in the beginning, and i love the sense of wonder and amazement or curiosity and anticipation one gets form waiting for a new Pokemon to get released, but lately Game Freak has seriously been disappointing me with designs for Pokemon, i feel as if they're just throwing out random ideas, and they're letting n00b workers design pokemon, while the original designers are just taking a back seat...
I would really like to meet either Satoshi Tajiri or Ken Sugimori and maybe i dunno have a long conversation about it is exactly they come with a new Pokemon Gen...an i want to know from whose minds these ideas are coming from...>_<
