[Boss Doggie]

Qwilfish and Stunfisk should hang out in a club

Remoroid? Octillery? Yanma? C'mon guys, I love Gold and Silver, but the pokemon they added were second stringers. Gligar? Sunkern? Pssh.

Gligar becomes Gliscor though, and that is a beast.

This just reminds me that there are way too many shitty pokemon. I'm not sure i really like any after the first game and there is just so many now that 'legendary' just doesn't feel like an accurate description.

It's just you.

Also technically it's only Gen II that actually put "legendary" actually "legendaries".

 

[Chet Rippo]

Why cant they just make a Wii U pokemon rpg game??

Get pokemon off the handhelds ffs

At least try it.

They did, twice, with the Game Cube. They were called Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD.

 

[Busaiku]

Jirachi is the best cause stomach eye.

 

[Worthintendo]

Hopefully low. Sick of Fire/Fighting. Give me more Fire/Psychic or Fire/Dragon!

I'm more sick of every Grass starter being a Lizard/Dinosaur thing. Surely they can do something different for once like I dunno a Bird Grass type or a something.

 

[Javier]

Maybe this time we'll get Fuckermon.

 

[UltimateIke]

Arcanine is the best legendary. Get it right.

Heck yeah.

Hey bro. Bro. Bro Hey.

Spoiler

Pokemon Blue is better

I'm not touching this one. Not a chance.

Lifelong friendships have been destroyed by such debates.

 

[BlackJace]

I don't know about you all, but I freaking loved Colosseum.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Most forgettable? Seel, Corsola, Masquerain, Chatot, and Heatmor.

I never spoil myself by memorising the Dex and move pools ahead of playing the game (I like surprises) and I remember finding a Sirskit in the grass, catching it and training it up as my Water 'mon.

With a typing like Bug/Water, I thought I could build a good team around him and Torchic while not chichéing my way through the game. It was exciting, doubly so because he was so weak, so I assumed he had sone kind of Magikarp Power.

You can imagine my disappointment then, when I lost my water type to Masquerain.

still waiting for the sequel

Pokemon xDDDD

 

[Boss Doggie]

What's hilarious is that Murkrow and Honchkrow has that pimp evolution going for it, especially if you look at its context.

 

[Tyeforce]

Assuming it comes out around Summer/Early September in Japan as is the norm, it'd actually be following their normal timing. HG/SS came out September 12, 2009, Black and White came out September 18, 2010.

B2/W2 came out two years later on June 23, 2012. If they're announcing it for a summer release, they'd be spot on.

Not really, the normal timing has been 4 years, not 3, since Generation IV. So there's likely another year before Generation VI, unless they want to continue to extend the gap between generations (which, personally, I hope they do).

 

[AdventureRacing]

It's just you.

Also technically it's only Gen II that actually put "legendary" actually "legendaries".

I didn't say it was anyone else, the gen II ones are probably the worst as well (here are some more legendary birds!). Actually scratch that ugly looking shit like deoxys is worse.

 

[The Silver]

If it is a new gen I hope they do something new with the starters. B/W starters were so boring and fuck fire/fighting types.

I liked the 4th gen, water/steel and grass/ground were cool.

 

[Pachimari]

9 hours left!
Mitts 3 at night here and I can't sleep. Maybe I should just get up and work.

 

[zroid]

okay real talk: the answer is Lileep

wtf is Lileep

 

[MidnightScott]

I hope we get a new Pinball game.for 3DS

 

[Damon Bennet]

i didnt follow pokemon all that much, but what about those random robots and thousands of legendary pokemons that look all the same? usually I am not one of the "omg only gen 1 pokemons" but in term of "legendary" gen 1 and 2 handle it much better than the later ones. Mew <3

 

[Hot Coldman]

Deoxys is supposed to be ugly. Also see: Mewtwo, Genesect.

 

[hiryu64]

okay real talk: the answer is Lileep

wtf is Lileep

A crinoid

 

[Jintor]

Maybe this time we'll get Fuckermon.

I'll be honest, Sodomite I could see getting in

 

[AdventureRacing]

I don't know about you all, but I freaking loved Colosseum.

Colosseum was good but it is still missing things from the original pokemon stadium. It kinda annoys me how half hearted these games are when they are full priced game. I never feel like much effort has been put into them.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

NINE HOURS

 

[Boss Doggie]

It makes sense. It's an alien virus. Just because they're ugly doesn't mean they don't work.

Besides Genesect >>> Deoxys >>> Mewtwo

Come at me Genwunners

 

[zroid]

A crinoid

Exactly

 

[ScraftyDevil]

It makes sense. It's an alien virus. Just because they're ugly doesn't mean they don't work.

Besides Genesect >>> Deoxys >>> Mewtwo

Come at me Genwunners

You've got the first two in the wrong order, buddy.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Still my favorite:

 

[Hot Coldman]

Besides Genesect >>> Deoxys >>> Mewtwo

Come at me Genwunners

I'd reverse that. Mewtwo is just unbelievably well designed. The only truly menacing Pokemon- they still seem to maintain he's the only "evil" one going, and I still buy it. I love Deoxys in both concept and execution (although more the former than the latter), and Genesect... well, Genesect I need more time to let grow on me, I have seen very little of him in anything. But he looks kinda goofy, in the face.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Deoxys is supposed to be ugly. Also see: Mewtwo, Genesect.

It's just an ugly design, i don't care about the reason there is just nothing appealing there. I can't stand genesect either. Mewtwo looks much better then both of them.

I don't really care why the design looks so bad it doesn't change the fact that it does. Furthermore i'm just sick of legendaries in general. I understand they need new ones for the people experiencing the game for the first time but there is just too many now.

 

[clemenx]

Too bad he sucks so much. Articuno is one of those things even getting semi competitive in Pokemon kills

Still the best cry ever.

 

[BlackJace]

Which is why I hope to see a follow up in the future. Probably won't happen though

 

[stktt]

I say Grumpig and Swalot as forgettable ones.

I actually had to look up Swalot's name

Grumpig and Spoink are amazing.

 

[Javier]

Holy shit. "Pokemon Rainbow" made it to almost every gaming news site.

What I like about now is that many of the "legendaries" are really just one time Pokemon (i.e. they're not really "legendary" - as their stats aren't even huge, but it gives them a one-time catch opportunity).

And meh, Mewtwo still looks like a stretched fetus to me.

Gaming journalism!

if this rainbow rumor is true than probably 90% of the new pokemon they're gonna announce are legendaries.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Wait... what's that about?

 

[Hot Coldman]

And meh, Mewtwo still looks like a stretched fetus to me.

Part of me wonders if it was ever influenced by Frieza.

i went to go check some sites and accidentally tried to go to porygon.com

lol

I'm pretty confident it was influenced by Giygas in some fashion.

Fair enough, we all have different tastes. Btw that is a really disturbing image but i don't see it lol.

 

[Hieberrr]

This better something good. The last few times I did Nintendo Directs with GAF ended up being terrible.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Wait... what's that about?

Abosolute tosh made up by a bunch of nostalgia junkies.

I'm in a rather mean mood tonight.

That would be gaming news I could trust.

Those are translations of Masuda's latest tweets.

"Junichi Masuda @ Junichi_Masuda
Good morning, everyone! Masuda not sleep too well (laughs)! This day I have come at last! ! Than 13 hours off the countdown! ! ! (^ ^) / ~ ~ ~"

"Junichi Masuda @ Junichi_Masuda

Not really news, but it's a good thing to see Masuda excitement. The more he's involved, the better.

Fake Pokémon news is a long cherished tradition at this point.

Damn it, I'm still bitter about Sirskit evolving into Masquerain.

Throw in Wailord and Movie-Groudon as bosses, and I'm all for it. My two favorite game series in one place? Yes please.

Regigigas is only 12 feet.

Agreed with all this. Plus, a part of me always loved to think that Mewtwo was a little shout-out to Giegue/Giyig from Mother 1. Helps that Ape/Creatures was involved with both games!

Isn't the American default name Ninten?

 

[Rubius]

The original 150 are so well known that even the most forgettable of them would be remembered by most gamers.

Same to a lesser extent with the Johto set. Hoenn has the highest number of meh pokemon.

Well go ahead. Test yourself. http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/pokemon Name me the 151 Pokemons.
