@mosherstomper: Uhh, more cartoon-like you say? Boulderdash!! This isn't like this is a video game or anything, with imaginary creatures, right? Jeeze, man, what were you thinking? Snap out of it!
Yes... there is a difference between anime and cartoon... Mosherstomper has a point.
 
Yeah, but do you ever recall it being anime in the games? The closest artwork for that was in the in-battle sprites of the trainers. And I thought a lot of people were against combining the anime with the games...ah, well, to each his own.
 
@wakonow3 - The X is probably a plus and the other one is probably a minus. The one that looks like an "eye" seems to be neutral. This probably has something to do with its ability.

im just saying my favs were all from the first 2 gens
i want more mean looking ones haha
look at charizard and scyther why is it when 3rd gen hit they all got cuter
i want more diversity
 
@mosherstomper: I see your point, although it's not like all the pokemon recently have been what you would characterize as 'cute'. Just take a look at any of the legendaries aside from Phione and Manaphy, and that should be proof enough for you. Or even others like Torterra, Empoleon, and the like.

i agree with that but personally id like more. like i said the games aer geared towards kids but ive been playing since i was a kid. i dono if nintendo realizes that there is an older crowd that still plays. me and all my best friends are all 19 and up. im 22. i know we all would love a game that is a bit more mature with more aggressive looking pokemon. but thats just an opinion.

i mean personally i stand out at tournaments cause im older i swear alot( parents hate me) and i have smoke breaks in between matches.
this is a kids game but with all the crappy dungeon games theyre putting out a more mature game would be nice to.

I don't know if I can fully agree. I think GameFreak is quite aware of the wide age group who play pokemon. There are already 2 age brackets for the VGC. The story for DPP was much more mature than previous games. They made the B/W protagonists older. Instead of trying to additionally hide or simplify the pokemon battles, they've only made them more challenging and expanded on the mechanics to the metagame (EVs, IVs, Natures, etc).

When you were a kid you just didn't care about any of that. Why would they expand on them if they didn't want to make it more difficult, more time involving, for their older players who care about this kind of stuff.

I want to believe that GameFreak has now decided that with their numerous titles of Pokemon, both main title and side ones, there is something for everyone. Now they can start to make their main title more mature as their first fans of r/b/y and others have stayed with the games.

haha i bought red when it came out cause i saw scyther on the commercial and i said #$^%$%& i want that

the games have gotten more complex but thats not what im talking about, i mean more mature like content wise, why is there a graveyard in red and blue but pokemon never die??
having to keep your pokemon not only from fainting but from dying would be a cool add. making team rocket/magma/aaqua/ whatever be actually evil would be interesting.
they tried to get darker with that one gc game but all the love and heart stuff turned me off

now im not saying the characters need to swear or pokemon need to bleed cause that would be just a cheap copout
(although if sycther used slash someones gotta bleed haha)

but a game geared towards an older crowd would be nice.

the games have gotten harder tho, i can beat red in a sitting, i still havnt fnished everything in ss. i love that

just give me more scary looking pokemon and ill be happy hahaha

t-tar prime example
or if they all looked like this

Oh I could show you more mature, scarier representations of pokemon quite easily. Even the most seemingly adorable pokemon can be quite badass - it just depends on who draws it.

But anyways, what I'm trying to get at with the advanced content is that GameFreak is going towards a more mature audience - just in baby steps.

Cyrus in DDP wanted to create a new world all together, even if that means destroying this one. But the reason behind it - his motivation - was much more mature in nature than, say, Team Aqua/Magma. Cyrus wanted a GOOD world - he just didn't think it was possible in this one. That's kind of a harder concept for younger kids to grasp but older players can really get into.

And really, it depends on which pokemon you're looking at. Almost all first stage pokemon are adorable and cute but their later evolutions are much more "bad ass" in nature. For Pokemon B/W we've only seen a handful pokemon and most of them are surely in their first stage, so it's too early to say for this generation that there will be too many "cute" pokemon.

there is nothing "bad grass" about this guy haha

your points are all valid im just wishful thinking

and i really wish i could find this one artist, these pictures are really disturbing
pikachu looks like something out of resident evil
 
Wow I've just had a brainstorm!

That electric cave we saw in the first corocoro scans: what's the bet it's inside the mountain where Zekrom is located?

My take on the map:
Towards the south of it, there seems to be areas of darker (maybe deeper?) water - perhaps we could be seeing the return of dive! :D
 
I cant wait to do the radom match mode. On Heartgold, all I have to battle is my little bro, and coumputers. I can't wait for it; it was a smart idea{L}
