000 is only a placeholder number. I'm sure the number will change when the game is released in japan.
Sure doesn't seem like that.

I don't like the design of Victuni. Definitely feels like it's been used already.

If they had started with this generation first let's say (and that the evolutions of previous gens were excluded), and went backwards, arriving to the gen 1, people would probably still be saying that. Because, even though they might look weird to those who already know the previous Pokemons, those who never heard of it and see the first gen probably has a weird reaction.

All this just to explain that as hard to admit it might be, they might not be running out of ideas: they're just giving us what we want, but they're trying to make them as creative as possible at the same time, which ends up giving us creatures we might never have expected.

I agree with this.


I like this new Pokemon. Overall, I'd say that the only Pokemon models I don't like so far are Koromori (I had to look up its name, so I'm thinking other people might as well. Here's the webpage http://serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml ) and the fire starter. Ononokusu is definitely the most badass looking mantis I've ever seen (and mantises are already pretty badass).

It's a cycle. Pokemon are looking like Digimon. Digimon are looking like Gundam's, and Gundam's will probably end up looking like Monster Rancher monsters...


But yeah...it's clear they are running out of ideas...a sarcophagus? Really Game Freak?! The water starter looks like an actual Pokemon, but other than that. The pigeon Pokemon looks waaaay too much like Starly. The bat thing looks like something from Darkstalkers. Wooguru looks like a Digimon...can't remember which one though. Munna looks like a deformed piggybank...but yeah, the sarcophagus one just made me facepalm...you know that when they have to resort to that they are clearly out of ideas.

PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE!


READ this please!

Pokémon is not made by Nintendo; it's made by Gamefreak(you see the logo when you first load up the game for crying out loud), and also, the artist for the Pokémon games...He did the concept art for both the first generation of Pokémon and the 2nd generation only; That's why all the new generation after the 2nd generation look different; it's because the people coming up with the designs are not from Ken Sugimori(the Pokemon artist). His job now is to draw their ideas. he's no longer coming up with the designs, but is given the task to draw them. So yes, these new Pokémon are fugly, but don't blame the artist, blame the noobs with dumb ideas.

You might think that some kind of... Squirrel with wings on its legs and huge blue eyes is not creative, but look at the first gen. A bird, that evolves into a bird with red hair, that evolves into a bigger bird with longer red and yellow hair. And that happened also with the Starly chain, pretty much. A puddle of goop, that evolves into a bigger puddle of goop who's name spelled backwards is an injustice. A red/white ball, that becomes a slightly bigger white/red ball. A magnet creature with an eye, that evolves into... never mind, it just joins two other ones and calls it an "evolution". A mole that joins two other moles in the same process. A pony on fire that sprouts a horn.

This could go on and on, and probably with other gens as well, so keep in mind: they're not running out of ideas; they're trying really hard. If I ask you to draw 10 different shapes, you will probably resort to a circle, a square, a triangle... Basically, what comes to your mind the fastest. Then, if I ask you to draw 20 more different shapes than what you drew in the first place, your shapes will definitely make less and less sense, but you could've started with them at first. See where I'm going? Sure, they might look unusual to us, but try to take the designer's place and find something that is neat, but doesn't resemble the already 493 existing creatures. And anyways, we'll probably just get used to it.

In my opinion they should stop adding new pokemon and start focusing on the actual PLOT of the games.

I've been doing the same thing for almost 12 years now:

Bla get a starter, blablabla beat 8 gym leaders and spoil an evil's organizations plans to take over the world, blablabla take on the pokemon league blablabla fill the pokedex, blabla battle friends blabla get tired of game.

I mean, c'mon now, wen are they gonna let us play as the "bad guys"?

I think they're a step up from gen3+4....(with that stupid pigeon as the exception), but still below 1+2. Definitely nothing to complain about.
