Hero Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 It feels like this new generation is coming on fast to me for one. I never got into Ruby and Sapphire like I did to Gold and Silver, and think I barely scratched the surface of Generation IV. The newer games are so slow-paced and there's so much to do, it feels overwhelming. With Gen II it was Togepi, Marill and Snubbul Haha, you mean Pikablu? And I can tell you just how to get him...

Bryan Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I think the thing throwing everyone off is that HG/SS still hasn't been released in English, and now we're talking about an entirely new gen. If the games had been released a year ago, we'd all feel the time was right now. It does feel to soon... And Absol does need an evolution :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rei Rei Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hey look, it's Renamon! Reminds me of a Linoone evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Reminds me of a Linoone evolution. I thought of it as a Lucario evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defeatist Elitist Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I hope a big black man with an afro is in this game. As both a Pokemon and a Trainer. The Trainer would have a team consisting entirely of Clefaries. All the sets of Twins and Lasses and whatnot would have the Pokemon on their team. It would be awesome.

In Pokemon Ranger 2 there's a big black man who smashes right through steel doors. No afro, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademaster! Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I would be kinda disappointed if that 5th gen pokemon turns out to be an evolved form of Lucario. If it is an alternate evolved form of Riolu though, that would be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny: spider bitten Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Assuming that is an evolution, and not some off brand tangent of an existing pokemon,I'd have to suggest Lucario. Chances are, it's this gen's Lucario - random ass pokemon that'll appear in a movie, is the evolved form, and never actually plays out importance. Oh, and while I don't really like the idea, it's honestly about time they play out a Pikachu evolution that A ) plays on his strengths and B ) looks more like him. Sucks for Raichu, sure, but it's about time the face of the franchise got a reboot. In fact, with the return of the time capsule for trades to DPP, they may as well consider using a time skip as an excuse for an ENTIRE franchise reboot in various areas.

Momo Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Well, they gave Pikachu the Light Ball and he looks just like him, so there's no need for a new evo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny: spider bitten Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Not really. Raichu is superior regardless because of the item freedom and speed. Where as the face of the franchise and the evolution is merely a UU at best, he was a starter once and should get bases as such. Not to mention that doesn't change the fact that now is the time to reboot certain aspects - national dex, evolution styles, and maybe even the number of gyms - and take certain angles for devloping new pokemon - such as pikachu and raichu no longer being related due to differences and the rate of breeding and evolution in pokemon in general.

Momo Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Most starters are UU. The only ones I can think of that aren't are like, Infernape and maybe Swampert. I think you're taking the reboot thing too seriously. They're not going to drastically change anything, it's going to be the same as all the others.

bunny: spider bitten Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Most of the starters are UU because there are better pokemon to play their part(Blastoise, Blaziken). And then there is the general typing issue where grass is terrible(which ruins torterra), fire is terrible(which ruins charizard), and water is terribly common. The only starters that are truly bad are Bayleef and Bulbasaur, Feraligatr and the penguin could be OU with a slightly improved moveset(whixh is bound to come with added TMs). And not a single on of them is the face of the franchise, and recently most aren't even the face of their generation. Regardless, the wish to improve Pikachu has nothing to do with the need to update the national dex for order, the need to get rid of stupid location related evolutions among others, and a need for the game to play a bit more intelligent.

Momo Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 There is already goddamn fanart of these guys http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8820/126586193928.png http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2340/126586200752.jpg http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/4363/126586205338.jpg http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9874/126586197858.png The Japanese are not human.

bunny: spider bitten Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 What stands out to me is the fact that they have official art of it standing on two legs and four legs. It could mean nothing, but with 'major changes to the game play' and what not, it should be pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momo Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Considering the mascot of the entire series is shown to do that, I'm sure that means absolutely nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't understand the dynamic difference that is the MASCOT and the worthless intro to the fifth gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamanx21 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Considering the mascot of the entire series is shown to do that, I'm sure that means absolutely nothing. agreed. I'm sure it has nothing to do with gameplay. There are pics of what looks like tentacruel floating in mid air and it doesn't mean it has two fighting modes, lol. Even pidgeots art has changed and it doesn't mean anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
