Where's some good 5th Gen fan-art evolutions at?

 

[injurai]

Different enough from ninetales but still has that kyuubi feel, pretty good. I like the telekinetic discs or whatever they are called. Giant fucking coins...

I don't know what they'Re called but they are linked whith buddhism. So it kind of support the fire/psy theory, right?

 

[ohlawd]

None of these look good D:

 

[injurai]

edit: actually this entire gen should have stopped after the second evolve forms... its unfixable..

 

[zroid]

that oshawott evo looks terrible

the tepig one is the best. certainly better than emboar.

 

[BriseFlots]

that oshawott evo looks terrible

What about this one?

 

[ohlawd]

Worst out of that is Samurott followed by Emboar which looks generic. Serperior is the least offensive looking in that fanart.

 

[Acrylic7]

How do you think boxes work...

I lost it at that Snorlax.

 

[injurai]

What about this one?

They should have kept Samaurott Bipedal, so he could be a bad ass and key his tude. I love this sage design here.

Yeah the right idea just simplified. I recall a lot of early speculation was that gen v was inspired by shanghai which is why the starters had a lot of chinese influence. Granted I still see the influence in the final designs too.

I agree. I like bipedal starters.

 

[StreetsAhead]

I meant of stuff like Maractus.

 

[Boss Doggie]

The problem with fanart is that they forget the final evos losing their cute and going more for menacing.

ugh, this took far too long...

Oh god yes, joltiks all over

The thread suddenly died right before the halfway point. :/

The implications of this are horrifying after just finishing that TVTropes page

that kid has at least 9 electric ticks in his pants

jesus christ what a terrible time to remember my arachnophobia

oh yes feels so good. I want Joltik juice all over my face.

 

[Grakl]

woohoo #15. No shame here.

holy hell injurai, you have a good 120+ lead on Grakl.

Injurai needs to step it up. He needs to have at least triple my posts.

Well, jumping spiders.

While searching on character info, I came across this quote from a Eurogamer interview:

The brains behind Pokemon Black and White

Eurogamer: The names of the games are associated with colours. There have been so many games now. Will you run out of colours soon? What happens when you do?

Junichi Masuda: This time, for Black and White, the main concept was extreme in the scenario. So, that's where the name Black and White comes from. It's extreme, different, opposite. This time was the first time we put the title based on the scenario and the world point of view. This title was based on the content of the videogame scenario.

Going forward, I predict we will continue putting titles based on the worldview, like we did for Black and White. But of course, it's really difficult!

So that confirms that indeed, BW were chosen for their story significance (and XY as well), and not because they're 'running out of colors'

 

[Korosenai]

What about this one?

Die kinky

 

[Neiteio]

ugh, this took far too long...

OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME.

MY ANUS SIZZLES WITH JOY.

Let's move onto some of our favorite soundtracks from the games.

This is one of my recent favorites:

PWT Final Battle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvCVvUqZeRI

The music just sounds incredible...
I love the PWT. Quite a challenge, too.

 

[Boss Doggie]

PWT Final Battle screams of Smash.

My favorite in each gen.

1 - Trainer battle
2 - Wild Pokemon battle
3 - Victory Road
4 - Champion Cynthia battle
5 - BW Legendary encounter, BW2 Ghetsis battle

 

[cafemomo]

Favorite soundtrack from each gen?

Well for me,

I: Gym Battle Theme.
II: Olivine City
III: Route 111
IV: Don't have one, never played DPPt.
V: Route 10

 

[BriseFlots]

I don't listen much the soundtracks because I play in train and such, so I usually mute the game. \and when I'm at home I just use a playlist on my computer.

So I cannot answer you.

I like the OP of pokemon season 1 anime, if that's relevant. (I didn't see much episodes after season 1 anyway)

I am unfortunately the same. Except for gym leaders and similar moments, I usually play with the volume muted. I really like what I hear of the music when I hear it, but Pokemon is the perfect multitasking game for me.

Generally watching TV, or listening to podcasts, or something else.

 

[papercamm]

Oh the shame...



Hypatia really brought some A-game posting for coming in late.

Aw yeah top ten

 

[zroid]

Aw yeah top ten

you mean bottom ten

Spoiler

let the shame flow through you

 

[Qurupeke]

The female trainer is awesome.

 

[Boss Doggie]

lol Charizard - yeah it makes more sense that Charizard fights Reshiram, not Zekrom.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

PWT Final Battle screams of Smash.

5 - BW Legendary encounter, BW2 Ghetsis battle

Final Battle's full-on Kageyama if you ask me. It's awesome, though—the best battle theme he's done by far.

I don't have any true favorite rankings for each Gen. There's way too much great stuff littered throughout these manifold soundtracks, so I'd have to take some daytime out to examine everything once over. But I can always give my favorite examples of Pokémon music (links later):

Mt. Pyre Outer Wall; Route 203; Route 11; Mt. Moon; Slateport City; RGB Trainer Battle (FR/LG in particular); Both the GSC and RSE The End tracks; RSE Surf; BW Legendary Pokémon Battle; RSE Elite 4 Battle

I could go on like this forever.

This is what you've done to me Gaf.

This is what I've become.

I actually like this Emboar. At least I like it a lot more than the official evo. Why did they have to make Emboar bipedal?

That gen is screwed up. Just try not to remember, haha.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I need clarification. I was always under the assumption that you'll be able to customize your trainer thanks to trailer footage showing the pink girl different from the main female trainer shown running alongside a male trainer, but I don't see that being confirmed floating around.

Really late on this, but I honestly think thats just a trainer running in a square, like the kid in Ruby and Sapphire at the beach at Route 104

Or a companion like the Maiden in Ilex forest of the Riolu owner in the cave system.

Or that.
I highly doubt Co-op is in the game though...sorry guys :/

 

[injurai]

Or that.
I highly doubt Co-op is in the game though...sorry guys :/

if it is I would think it would be limited to certain areas or something like. Like the underground.

 

[zroid]

I get the sense that whatever it is, it's meaningful. I believe they cut that clip into the trailer specifically to show that the girl is following you -- she takes your exact path.

I don't think it's just a standard mobile NPC.

If she follows your exact path though then she isn't a player character, but just a trailing npc. I do think its something important though. I'll need to watch it again to see exactly how the movement happens.

 

[Grakl]

Probably not. That's too much change for a Pokemon game, heh.

 

[Hypatia]

That gen is screwed up. Just try not to remember, haha.

It's not that bad for me. I just went through sprite lists to figure out my favourite gen in terms of designs:

Gen I is 31% liked
Gen II is 36%
Gen III is 29%
Gen IV is also 29%
and Gen V is 22%

So yeah it's the lowest on my list but it's actually not that bad. Purely in amount of Pokemon per gen I liked 3 more Gen V designs than I did Gen IV and it's only 2 designs off Gen II.

But it took a while for a lot of them to grow on me and theres only 3 designs I really love... so it's definitely my least favourite gen.

Also I didn't realise how many Gen III designs I liked are actually from Gen II.

and Gen V is 22%

If I were to do that...though I'm not sure how you did it. It would probably be something like.
Gen I 86%
Gen II 97%
Gen III 91%
Gen IV 34%
Gen V 54%

If she follows your exact path though then she isn't a player character, but just a trailing npc. I do think its something important though. I'll need to watch it again to see exactly how the movement happens.

I don't recall her doing that though..very close to the same path but off by about a space or two.

EDIT: Yep off by a block.

 

[Hypatia]

Gen I 86%
Gen II 97%
Gen III 91%

Amount of Pokemon you like / total amount in gen X 100

I was actually suprised at how low the earlier gens were and how high the later ones are when I looked through them all. Because if I'd guessed I'd have put something like your list for the first three gens and gone lower that my actual results with Gens IV and V.

 

[Grakl]

You all went through the whole sprite list? Huh. I might do that.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

You know what, I think I'd rather a 3D version of the current top down style. This new design looks shitty.

I'd prefer that as well, but the game isn't out for another 8 months. They have time to add the Nintendo Polish™.
