The legendaries all look weird to me. In fact, a lot of the pokemon look like they should be enemies in some JRPG and not cute little monsters you'd want to keep in your pocket...

And wtf is this? -

I still don't know why they feel they have to stick to some 'formula' for pokemon games. Every game just has to have 8 gym leaders, the elite four, a kid who catches 'em all/becomes the champion, and all of the other stuff that's always in there. They should act like FF and start from a clean slate. :3

Agreed, I've always wanted to play as the kid who couldn't beat Brock with his team of Charmander + Pidgey, got depressed and went home. He ended up becoming an accountant.

Exactly! Change it up a little!

The last set look weird.

@zezhyrule. I was just thinking that, some look more like evil bad guys, not Pokémon. Some even look more like people or whatever.

I love this starter, but I hate the evolutions.

So I will probably stick with this one and evolve it quickly (even though it's last form is unrecognisable again:

I love this one too:

I like the idea of this Pokémon:

I like this one, too, don't recognize the evolutions anymore, which is a shame.

And what's up with all the color swaps in this version:

I'm hugely appreciative of the overload of interestingly-typed-with-the-Fire-type-type of Pokemon. Fire/Psychic, Fire/Ghost, Fire/Dragon... those three have always been dreams for me so...

_{idk i really like this generation already}

Fire/Bug is pretty cool too, lol

It might just be me, but doesn't 648 look like an evolution to celebi?

Or the heartless from Kingdom Hearts invaded the Pokemon world.

Did anyone notice that the first pokemon in the new pokedex is a legendary and not a starter? I just thought that was kind of different...

I made up a Pokemon and evolution. The first one has very bad accuracy but can evolve if it levels up if it holds the item "Peripheral Vision".

And Grass started, I skipped the middle evolution cause it looks too similar.

Last for is Grass/Fighting

Oh, I remember those days in middle school when we used to make up Pokemon. They were better than the Black/White ones too.

I'm in college and I still whip some up once in a while during math. They should have held a contest like Megaman 2 for Pokemon.

I've been playing the Japanese version over the past few days but it doesn't seem to have anything patricularly ground-breaking and the Pokémon designs are not really that great in many cases. Gameplay still rocks though. But the Gym Leaders are ridiculous pushovers. The Diamond/Pearl/Platinum versions had tricky movesets and strategy-ruining type combos. Here they often use pure single-type Pokémon that do not require the player to rethink the strategy. I've beaten 7 out of 8 Gym Leaders now and I only had a bit of trouble with the second one. The remaining one is a Dragon-type Gym, though, so that promises some tough battles. Let's see if I can get my hands on an Ice Beam TM in this game because I'm gonna need it. One purely cosmetic, but major improvement is the fact that the Pokémon are now fully animated during battles, making them much more dynamic and alive.

I love Pokemon but I barely got Heart Gold, I'm gonna wait for the third version.

I doubt they will make a third version.

After they've done one for every Generation? Sure I doubt too.

Pokemon Grey sounds dull though...

You know what, I saw a video of the final battle... music is too epic I'm getting Black now. Black is the main version right?

Only Heart Gold/Soul Silver so far.

I mean a third version for Black and White. They never make a third version for the remakes.
