Pokemon sequel is under development for DS

Ghost is one of the cooler types I have to say. Though maybe that's just because I think Morty's cool.

Oh and one of my favorite flying types is also ghost. <3 Drifloon

Oh an btw for Gen 5 someone needs to tell Game Freak there needs to be an easy item transfer option aside from making a POKéMON hold one and trading it! Like for instance I have over 100 Pomeg Berrys! Do ya know how long it would take to send all of those over? Whaaat? I should just grow them all over again in the new game? No way thats messed up! I demand equal opporunity for items!!

This. A wireless/wi-fi mailbox in the GTS would do the trick.

I think it has more to do with design then anything :/

Back then, when GameFreak actually PUT IN fucking fire Pokemon and just made the Dark Type, they had some true bad ass designs. Hell, to this day the only "cool looking" Fire Pokemon that are not starters are from the first gen.

Some other types don't have random bad ass designs for their non-starter/ legendary Pokemon. Like water . . . where is their bad ass Pokemon that fit those rules? Their just fucking fish most of the time . . .

I mean look at these

You can clearly see the "coolness" of their designs and I think thats what it comes down to . . . these types are (fire WAS in the first gen) heavy in "cool designs".


Should I rest my case?[/QUOTE]
You've just proven my point. Kids' love of Fire and Dark types is all style over substance. Theme over utility. They love "badass" designs (i.e. aggressive, cool, counter-parental-values-but-in-a-Nintendo-safe-way)

Also, Water has goddam Gyarados, but one pokemon does not a popular type make.
 
It'd be funny if his name is localized as Smugleaf or some other variant. Vaivine (Vain Vine), Treego (Tree+Ego), Pompetal, Grasshole...

You know what, they should make Normal at least super effective on 1 type.

I don't like the design too but that ain't Digimon style.

It has to be part gundam-esque robot to truly be a digimon.

Yeah, if it were Digimon, he'd have cannons and be like 30 feet tall.

I'm still sore about WereGarurumon -> MetalGarurumon transition =/

Lol, I remember you talking about that in the last Pokemon thread that was locked...

But it must be said again, bipdedal > omg I got rockets!

Still going to nickname it Smugleaf. That is unless it becomes as tired of a mene as Mudkip (which it probably will).

edit: And what is it with pigs and pearls in Pokemon? I personally hope as it evolves I see less pearls.

My point is that kids like them for their design, thats always the driving factor . . . and GameFreak could very well make some "bad ass" designs for other types. Its not the kids fault that GameFreak doesn't make Bad Asses in other types like Water or bug . . . I think they SHOULD make bad asses of all types, then you wouldn't have to get a pissy face when kids talk about their cool Pokemonz.
 
I think Vineper would be a better name than Viperine...

Though I don't think Tsutaja (or its evolutions) are/will be based on venomous snakes.

Yea, it's got limbs. People seem to be ignoring that...

To this day, it's still makes no sense to me. How do you go from werewolf to robot? Oh well, at least Wargreymon was cool.

Seriously, I'm gonna say that I don't like Gyarados' inexplicable inability for it to close its mouth.

Also, there's nothing wrong with choosing 'style' over substance when the game is so easy/breakable I could beat the Elite 4 with a Raticate and a Butterfree if I really wanted to.
 
^Yeah. WarGreymon is my favorite Dragon-Man type Digimon

Normal should become super effective to Ghost... those with Scrappy, Foresight, Sleuth, etc. that is. Makes "detecting" the ghost types much more satisfying.

There isn't, you're right. Thing is, these particular 'mons get massive amounts of overexposure to the point where I get sick of them.

Same reason I never use Pikachu.
 
Well I know Charizard was perfectly capable of pulling his weight in the OUs before Gen IV and the advent of Stealth rock.

Seriously, Stealth Rock sucks.

I really don't know how those types get any more exposure than anything else. Theres only a small hand full of them . . . and most of the spot like goes to the starters or Pikachu or w/e Pokemon Ash and friends incounter in a movie/ catches. :/
Most of the time you see the "cute" Pokemon promoting stuff.

They seem to be loved despite the fact that they are under-repped in the series.

I haven't seen the anime in years. I'm just going by what little kids with the games get obsessed with.

Stealth Rock doesn't suck! YOU SUCK!

I agree that it's overpowered, though, that it needs to be nerfed and that right soon. A turn-limit for how long it'll be on the field ought to do it (say 5 turns) -or- it should work like Spikes and not work on resistances/weaknesses.

Charizard was overpowered, though, in my own opinion. It needed nerfing. I just don't think Stealth Rock was the way to do it.
 
udivision said:

Speaking of the limbs, if my guess that it's based on the grass snake is right, the limbs might be for swimming, or they might be some kind of "adaptive trait" for when it's not around water.

I really want to see this thing's pokedex entry. :lol
 
I guess I'll just ask the question directly: What exactly is wrong with Digimon-esque designs? Just the fact that they're not animal-like enough? I don't think that's a good reason to be so derisive about it when using it to reference Pokemon.

Wargreymon's design > all pokemon, eat it haters!

No thanks. I'll take my Robot Wolf any day of the week over that thing.

Besides, Tai was a jerk.

Then again, EmoMatt wasn't much better.

Digimon suck. The series, the designs, all of it. Ever wonder why Pokemon is still exploding while Digimon has been six feet under for almost 10 years?

Yeah. It sucks.

Yep. And has done since it came out. Even back then, I saw it for the bare-faced ripoff it was.
 
Not a fan of digimon, but I thought the third season was fantastic. Glad I managed to see it!

Hopefully it is nerfed quite a bit... but wouldn't put it past them to add yet another new move that's even worse this time around. :lol

Would be god damn awesome. I've always been a Ponyta>growlithe guy.
 
udivision said:
Which is the season so bad that it practically killed Digimon...

Well, It's probably more that a lot of the people who didn't like the first/two enjoyed the third? I like when series in general focus on a smaller group of characters, and I thought the concept was the most interesting. I have a soft spot for Terriermon as well, so that was a big part of my enjoyment.:lol I don't really know many people who enjoyed the fourth season, but it has it's fans I suppose. The fifth season, I'm completely in the dark about, I couldn't stand the art style to even give it a chance.

Hey, wierd I was just thinking this needs to happen. Or at least a Pegasus type pokemon.

But... it was out before Pokemon. I had a fucking Digimon before I knew what Pokemon was!

And you guys can fuck right off, the first and third seasons of Digimon were legitimately good and stand up today. Especially the third season, which was written by the guy behind Serial Experiments Lain and the Big O, who's also a Cthulu mythos writer.



wait is this thread seriously now digimon vs pokemon

Why do you insist on hating my childhood, Gaf?

And I always thought the honor of "season that nearly killed the show" was held (unfairly mind you) by the fourth season, Frontier.
