Come on, they're totally building towards a Throh vs. Sawk finale. Scraggy isn't winning shit yet.
BTW, Doom, as evidence for the Axew x Scraggy thing; behold, a screenshot from when Scraggy was fighting in one of the recent Japanese episodes:
Scraxew 4ever.

I know, but I don't like Stephan enough to want him to win, and Masomi is too new for me to care about him. Seeing how the title of BW073 is The Decisive Donamite Battle! Throh vs. Sawk, though, I think it's pretty much set in stone that one of them will win. A man can dream, can't he?
Alternatively:
Play as FemN!

FemN looks too much like Cynthia.
I would be down for BW2's playable character being either N or his twin sister M who Ghetsis raised the same way but never mentioned and she was never seen because she was away researching Kyurem's other forms while N was trying to get Reshiram/Zekrom.
If she looked like that picture above it would probably be the first time I picked the female character in a Pokemon game too.

And you are boring.
So what you are saying is they are actually Nidoran?
So what do you guys think the eventual 3DS Pokemon game will actually be?
My wishlist:
1. Full 3D errythang. I could take either top down or more Zelda-like camera but I want everything to be rendered.
2. Access to all of the existing Pokemon. Starting on a new system that cannot interact with DS's or the GBA would hopefully handcuff them into making getting the Pokemon you want a much more attainable goal.
3. Not another entire new set of Pokemon. Just stop it.
What it will end up being:
Nicer looking 2D stuff and all new Pokemon with no basic formula changes made. Oh yeah and functionality with a Wii U game.

Insert Go Ichinose plug here.
It'd better start with R/S remakes, or I'll have a hissy fit.

This always baffles me.
Why should they? What possible advantages come of adding no new designs?
Because the new designs are just getting worse and worse outside of a few cool examples.
If they focus on what they already have then they can make a much more polished game surrounding them. The history is there and they can do cool stuff with that.
Just leave now.

You guys seriously think they haven't been getting weaker and weaker since R/S?

Precisely the opposite. Quality of Pokemon designs has been steadily increasing in every Gen except the first.
Black and White designs beat the living shit out of G/S/C's designs.
Supermanisdead

Nope, they always have a few shit designs. Somehow nostalgia makes people hate Trubbish but not Muk.
Dr.Palutena

Yes.
You seriously think there is motivation to buy the new games for anything else? That Game Freak has any incentive to stop making pokemon in terms of sales or fan feedback?
Dragoon En Regalia

It begins. And I think they've stayed roughly the same in quality since the originals, if not better or worse in some instances. There was a lot of junk in the G/S/C designs, for example.
Agree to disagree then. I enjoy some of the B&W Pokemon designs(more than D/P at least) but I feel they're a far cry from the glory days.
Didn't say that at all. I said that I do actually think the 3DS game will have an all new set of Pokemon. I just hope that the previous generations aren't unattainable.

"glory days"
Pokemon's still a big franchise, bigger than ever before. The media just forgot about it in North America, that's all.

Maybe not in America, but Pokemon has consumed Japan whole.

So it has to be EVERYWHERE to be the glory days? What about country-specific golden ages? How about Japan, which is now a nation dedicated to the Pokemon cause?
My avatar is laughing at this right now.

Well there was one period of time where it was a complete worldwide phenomena right?
I think Gen 5 has more designs I like than Gen 4 or Gen 3 tbh. Although personally I'd rather have them add some evolutions and change some abilities / movepools to make more Pokemon viable than add a bunch of new Pokemon that completely overpower then old ones like they did this time.
I could definitely get on board with this.

I personally think that BW's new Pokémon blew most of R/S's out of the water. I don't think that there's one Gen V Pokémon that I truly loathe.
People tend to view the designs of the first two gens through a rose-tinted lens, calling the new designs stupid or lazy, whilst forgetting that Gen I brought us stinkers like Voltorb, Magenemite and Grimer, or that Gen II had Corsola and Heracross. I have nothing against any Pokémon ever (execpt maybe Rotom, but that's a long story), but I really think that so-called "fans" need to stop whining about the present without taking a good, hard look at the past.

Ok, NEW TOPIC!
From my experience, a majority of people tend to prefer final evolutionary forms to starter forms. With that in mind, what is everyone's favorite Poke that doesn't evolve at all? Mine has to be this badass:

I like Gen III more than Gen II, more Gen I is the OG classic.
