Unfortunately, I am very dissapointed in the new generation of pokemon. Unlike the 3rd generation, this new one is not very original. I find the new pokemon to be somewhat lackluster. I do think it is clever that they are evolving all the original pokemon so we do not forget about them, but I would also like to see some more completely new lines of pokemon. Even the ones that are new are just bland and boring to me. The pre-evo's and evo's are a good idea, some are ugly, but regardless still a good idea. I was just hoping for a little more originality.
Let me add one more thing that I personally really enjoyed. The new pokemon that I had the impression of being the bew legendary pokemon such as, Lucario and Manaphy, well I am REALLY happy they have pre-evo's. I think that is simply awesome. Who would have thought to give the new big time pokemon pre-evo's. I think that is a good idea, and it puts them on more of a level with all the other pokemon. Before they were like untouchable gods. They still are but now they have weaker forms and i like it!!!!
