Just don't buy it at all? Maybe the games will improve if people stop spending money on them despite the fact they're unimpressed by them.
Levincia Gym Leader Iono Introduces Bellibolt, the EleFrog Pokemon
- Thread starter JustInBasil
- Start date
I'm sad to see so much disappointment, it only seems to make me feel a little disappointed. As others have said, opinions are subjective here, so my opinion is that I am LOVING the marketing cycle and current reveals so far, despite feeling somewhat disappointed at what we've seen so far.
Iono is cute AF, I love this gym personality, it's very fun, but I love the Japanese inspired persona. Bellibolt? I would die for. I'm also really impressed with other new mons like Ceruledge, Armarouge, and Farigiraf. When I look at a lot of these mons I just think about "I hope we get some really great TCG art for them". Being a fan since the beginning, it doesn't take much for me to build some sentimental attachment to a handful of Pokemon from each gen. I do hope we get some better reveals soon, because I do agree that it feels a little weak right now. Fingers crossed!!

People are having a civil war on the comments lol.
Looks cute. Maybe will evolve into a electric/ground type? It was seen using mud bomb.
Frog gang rise up

Everything is already pretty redundant in Pokemon, and the parent companies don't seem to be very interested in exploring new territory other than so-so gimmicks that are immediately abandoned. And that's ok for what it is. I'd be excited to see them explore something new, but I doubt it.
So new Pokemon designs are the most exciting thing to me. They're the main characters and the only new things that stick around from gen to gen. I've been enjoying regional variants as much or more, though, because it can draw directly from a region, and allows them to explore different design directions that were scrapped previously, etc. I'd honestly be pretty happy with generations of 30 new Pokemon and 70-80 new variants.
When i saw the frog I laughed so hard it just looked a bit ridiculous, but when I took a closer look, I actually did like the design
People will always hate on the new Pokemon. It's just a cycle
Gen 3: What the, this is repetitive trash!!!! Pokemon used to be better and i'm not saying this because of nostalgia
Gen 4: What the, this is repetitive trash!!!! Pokemon was so good in gen 2 and started slipping gen 3 and i'm not saying this because of nostalgia
Gen 5: What the, this is repetitive trash!!!! Pokemon was so good in gen 3 and started slipping gen 4 and i'm not saying this because of nostalgia
Gen 6: What the, this is repetitive trash!!!! Pokemon was so good in gen 4 and started slipping gen 5 and i'm not saying this because of nostalgia
Gen 7: What the, this is repetitive trash!!!! Pokemon was so good in gen 5 and started slipping gen 6 and I'm not saying this because of nostalgia
Gen 8: What the, this is repetitive trash!!!! Pokemon was so good in gen 6 and started slipping gen 7 and i'm not saying this because of nostalgia
You are here -> Gen 9: What the, this is repetitive trash!!!! Pokemon was so good in gen 7 and started slipping gen 8 and i'm not saying this because of nostalgia
In due time Bellibolt will be seen as a cute pokemon as whatever new pokemon shown in 5 years is shit on.

I thought maybe they could be accessories sent by fans from the Iono zone. But still, was kinda hoping for a magnemite preevolution. Would be nice even if its unnecessary and similar looking. ??
Also, what's up with the Piranha teeth..? ??

It's a common thing in anime to give girls snaggleteeth in order to make them seem cute or endearing.
Honestly, I'm still somewhere between Gen 3, 4, or 5. There's a number of Pokémon I like past that point but to dismiss this as solely cyclic cynicism that washes over with time is silly.
It's better that we don't get anything Magnemite related. Gen 3, 4 and 6 all basically have nothing in terms of Regional forms, I say ?? to gen 1 Regionals
As for the teeth....yeah, It's a kink thing. Don't look on twitter after a sharp-toothed character is revealed
I don't even really see that many people hating on this Pokemon? Most people in this thread really like this lil guy- including me- and the Pokemon twitter account's reveal pictures are getting tens of thousands of likes as always
Idk bro it kinda feels like you're trying to start an argument with a small group of people who aren't even here for internet points
"It's a cycle" is reductive. I've been a fan since Gen 1. I loved a lot of Gen 1-2 Pokemon upon release of those games and still do. I disliked a lot of the Gen 3 Pokemon on debut in 2002 and still do. I've not liked some but loved a lot more of Gen 4-8 Pokemon upon the release of those games and those opinions haven't changed. I just don't like the Pokemon they've released for Gen 9 so far. I certainly hope the games will have some ones I like, but the ones they've chosen to showcase so far are very ho-hum or stylized in ways that don't appeal to me. Considering I'm almost 35 years old now, I don't think I'm going to get overwhelmed for nostalgia for most of these Pokemon in ten years. Especially since nostalgia hasn't made me more interested in the gen 3 Pokemon I never liked 20 years ago either.
Every single one of these lines is correct.
so far.
lol, OK.
You're saying you know for sure that taking the game as a whole, the Spanish influence isn't shown except in a few names and visual cues. So far, it looks that way, yeah. Can you say this with absolute certainty? Please link to spoilers or an early download file so I can take a look as well.
You're totally right, it's completely reasonable to expect the trailers and marketing material for a game to be unrepresentative of the product they're trying to advertise.
Who knows, we might even get an online shooter on release.
