...that is my point. Reread my post :P

I was
doing a poor job of
agreeing with you. :P

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!


Oh and here are some Pokemon imagined if they were Digimon

The Zigzagoon, Raichu and Treeko got it but the rest are fail :p

As a Digimon connoisseur the focus of Digimon is more on monster detail in miniscule stuff - muscles, veins, etc. are more focused and detailed. It's not "overdesigned" which is spewed by ignorant people. If Blaziken is a "Digimon" it would have a more detailed, muscular body (assuming it's a male) for starters. The Blaziken comparison got it wrong because a "humanoid" Digimon would generally have a detailed humanoid body. You just don't put on pants and say "Digimon", or else Scrafty is a Digimon too :P
 
Ahaha! I love it. I don't hate Digimon (well, the early stuff), but I feel this is quite a good display of the art-style difference between the series.

Exactly.

The difference is mostly monster design and art style focus, and one isn't inherently better than the other. There is no "this is Digimon" crap but then again said people probably never seen Digimon outside of a few pics and parody images anyway.
 
And the most SHIT trio

Virizion isn't awful, but the other 2 SUCK

What have you done Drago.

The pixies are far worse than these three. Terrakion is awesome. Also the 4th member Keldo is par superior to the stupid Moon Duck.

Screw the legendaries! Show me some Eggsecutor love. Sometimes I feel only I like the bastard.

Eggy is really cool and it has a massive movepool. It has some pretty lovely resist too, but has an Abomasnow like 7 weaknesses.
 
tbqh Terrakion doesn't even look bad in the anime - it's just that the angle there.

And I still hate Virizion for implying Artemis = girl.

Cobalion is manly as fuck though.
 
This. Somewhere between gen 2 and 3 is the sweet spot for the amount of legendaries. The trio legendary set (birds, beasts, regi, lake and kami), cover legendaries(2 or 3), the cute fairy (Mew, Celebi, jirachi, manaphy and victini) and the menacing legendary ( mewtwo, deoxys, and genesect). 8 legendaries is enough.

Gen 1: 5 legendaries
Gen 2: 6 legendaries
Gen 3: 10 legendaries
Gen 4: 13 legendaries (not including phione)
Gen 5: 13 legendaries

They increased the number of legendary for gameplay reasons and for the anime tie ins. The later generations were able to reveal one legendary per year, hyping a big "new pokemon", even without new games out. And the later games also have more post-game legendaries to be caught by the player.

They could reduce the number of new legends for post-game by going with the "new old region" set up from Gold and Silver, but it doesn't seem like they ever want to do that again...


I never even completely got the concept of gen 5 legendaries. What did reshiram, zekrom and kyurem do?

Reshiram and Zekrom were used by ancients kings to build their kingdom, that's it. They aren't comparable to the god-like legendaries we've seen in gen 3 and gen 4 in terms of backstory. Kyurem is initially introduced as some kind of alien Pokemon that absorbs life, but in B2/W2, it's said that it's the remains of an original legendary Pokemon which eventually split into all three legendaries from B/W.

the kami trio brought weather changes something the gen 3 cover legends already did.
Well, the Gen 3 legends were much bigger though. The main focus there was forming continents and oceans, which obviously involved changing the weather. The Gen 5 weather trio was just about manipulating the weather.
 
They're not really just about manipulating the weather really - like I said they're just dicks being dicks with Landorus being the guy who stops them from being dicks.
 
This may get some hate, but I think Mewtwo is one of the worst legendaries as well

Between the thunder thighs and neck tubes, I really don't see the appeal. I mean, I like the concept, it's just the execution is...eh.
Agreed.

And the most SHIT trio

Virizion isn't awful, but the other 2 SUCK
They are simply beast trio version 2, Kami trio on the other hand...

lake trio are like shitty mew clones...
I was gonna say they weren't that bad, then I saw their artwork.
 
No amount of cleverness can excuse the unappealing and sometimes revolting design of a lot of the newer Pokemon. An idea is just an idea, it's the execution of said idea that matters at the end of the day.
 
btw that thing is a collar. He's supposed to mimic a gentleman's coat, with the white chest hair being the undercoat.
 
Yeah but it's coming beneath rather than the chin and at the neck itself. It works as a bib too.

Also oh god anthro Cobalion nonono
 
How great would it be if Pokemon X & Y got Miiverse support? So great.

I'd really, really, REALLY love to see that happen. I can't wait for Miiverse on 3DS, especially thinking how it could be implemented in games like Pokémon.
