It'd also be about time for a fighting/dark/psychic triangle in the starters. I liked it when they did it before with steel/ground/fighting.

Yea that would be cool

Though I still dont get why fighting is good against dark. (Yes, applying logic to pokemon I know)

We need more things good against dark

I think that the Grass/Fight, Fire/Psy, and Water/Dark is a good idea because you have the advantage of two types as well as the need for trainers to train other Pokémon

I like the look of the legendaries. Haven't owned a poke game since Emerald and the last one I played was Diamond. I had great times playing Sapphire against my friend's Ruby in Year Two. He used to play nearly every day for 2 hours + whilst I only could play once a week for an hour. He had a level 75 groudon that would stomp my Kyogre into the ground with Earthquake. Then I got my Kyogre to 50 or something and his was still in the 70s. Hydro Pump or something knocked him out. The look on his face was priceless!

Fighting is all about honourable, 1 on 1 challenge against an opponent, Dark is all about sneaking up on somebody and being dirty as hell about it. Essentially, it means that in a legit fight with nowhere to hide or ability to cheat, Fighting pummels Dark.

We need more things good against dark


No we don't. Fighting is one of the best offensive types in the game. And besides, Dark isn't a particularly great offensive type anyway.

Actaually, we do.

Dark/Shadow are immune to fighting, normal and psychic, and everything else either isn't effective or normal power.

If there was a "light" type, it would be super effective againgst them. Spiritomb and Sableye would no longer be annoying to defeat.

The entire point of Spiritomb and Sableye are that they are annoying to defeat. Besides, neither of those two are even that good to begin with.

They're not being localised this time. We're seeing the first time they've had a global release.
Also they put up the pronunciations ZURR-nee-us and ee-VELL-tall. Which as a guestimation makes them ザニオス (Zanios) and イベタル (Ibetaru).

I think I finally see a pokemon game I am staying the hell away from..... sure its cool that they upped the graphics but sadly the pokemon themselves look like utter garbage now that they have lost their sprite charm and gone to full on objects. The starters look decent though.

WAAAHG!!! until further notice

Honestly, as far as appearances are concerned, I'm still sore over the change from the really old watercolour look from the first generation.

Likely they changed from drawing them by hand and scanning them in to just drawing it on a tablet.

Well, this is obvious. But most drawing programs these days have the ability to emulate watercolour/pencil crayons/whateverthehelltheyusedtouse fairly well.

What's more, the current artstyle allows them to get away with some really artificial looking work. I'd attribute the blandness of the last 2-3 generations' designs to not just to running out of ideas, but to an artstyle that encourages flat, overly deformed designs.

Male sure you register it with Club Nintendo, as you can get a free download of one of 5 decent games.

I'm disappointed that Bulbasaur didn't get a Lemon Mortar attack.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Well yet another evolution to Eevee, Ninfia (ニンフィア). Doesn't have an English name released yet.


I also think the total number is about ~700 now.

Most people reckon Flying- or Normal-type.

It's been seen to use a wide variety of moves, including electrical and fire moves as well as Swift and what looked like Final Gambit.

Pokémon uploaded a video to Youtube today.

The new eeveelutions get worse with each generation, and yet Flareon is still constantly neglected. Poor thing deserves a moveset.

inb4 lunatic feminists on the media claiming Y has stronger pokemons and Nintendo is therefore sexist.

inb4 Mario is sexist.

/e: Oh crap, see...to get all pokemon, you need to link X and Y! If you link X to X, you won't be able to get all pokemon! Heterophobes, appear!

Black and White were horrid and this will be horrid. I mean why did nintendo think they could change the classic pokemon look?

In my opinion the 1st-3rd gen of pokemon was great, as well as soulsilver and heartgold.

In FireRed I was so proud of my 3 dragonites and level 100 charizard.

Pearl/Diamond were, IMO, the best games in the series. Mechanically, it just did everything right, and the content wasn't terrible either.
