fuck pokemon design got ridiculous after the first game...

Yep. -_- I wonder who was responsible or the first designs? Or did more artists contribute? The most designs from the last few games look like typical deviantart fanart to me.
 
I like it. Seems to be Lucario-esque with the pre-evolution, yet receiving coverage.

Though I kinda wish we had gotten more info on the actual game.
 
Hm, looks pretty decent. The only thing that's bugging me right now is the lack of a tail on the evolution. Yeah, it'd probably look weird with the hair, but it still annoys me that the pre-evolution has one but the evolution doesn't. Almost makes me wonder if this pokemon might have some sort of trick to it like a form shift or something. I mean, it IS an evil fox pokemon, so it's plausible at least.
 
This is the first "evil" Pokemon right? I mean, even Houndoom and Mightyena are pretty neutral despite being dark Pokemon.

Huh... I think Darkrai is pretty evil.

Anime wise he was just miss-understood. I guess thats the same with this movie.

But yeah . . . theres some evil rat bastard Pokemon in the games. Like how Drifloon TRIES to steal lil kids.
 
Haha, the nostalgia in this thread is killing me! I think the design is cool. It's an anthropomorphic fox, what's the big deal? You guys don't complain about Golduck or all the other non-animal pokemon from the first gen
 
Well technically speaking, none of the mons have "evil" pretty much in their descriptions as opposed to this guy. But then again we haven't heard of the English info.
 
A little too anthropomorphic for my tastes, but considering there were a bunch in th 1st generation(Mewtwo, Hitmons, Jynx, etc.), I shouldn't complain. The pre-evo bothers me more than Zoroark. I also don't see the names changing too much for US.

Sugimori drew the Pokemon from the first and second gen and had initial concept/final say for third and fourth.

His intention was always for the first set to be the most "normal" and then get stranger and more mythological as it went on.
 
Like the evil fox classification and the design as well. :D For me to hate the design of a Pokemon these days, it would have to look like Probopass..
 
We get a feral fox that looks extremely bad ass on all fours all we're complaining? Then again, each to his own. I'm surprised that they haven't lifted the veil off of the games. Maybe they are doing something really new.

Male and Female, maybe?

Maybe . .. but the green eyed ones look so much more sneaky/ evil compared to the blue ones. :/

I think the green eyed ones may be official art and the blue ones may be the ones from the movie that will most likely be "misunderstood".

Gameplay changes:
Pokemon now have Light/Dark allignments, like how the trading cards started to do it.

Wat?
 
Yeah I don't really like 'em too much. They kinda added too much detail. For example, the dots near the eyes, or the hair spikes that are blacked out, or the weird things on the thighs that make it seem like he's wearing pants.
The tiny guy's head is just too small for me to like him at all, so he's out, but the bigger one is okay.

But I don't know, I tend to like sprite work and animation far more than the vector art, so maybe I'll like them more in-game.
 
Ugliness =( I hope the rest of the new Pokémon look better.. What I'm more interested in is not the new Pokémon, but gameplay changes, still waiting for details concerning those..

From the scan, I assume?

Dark and Light. That would be interesting. I remember that kind of thing on trading card like 6 years ago.

Dark Charizard, Dark Vensaur, etc.

(For people who don't know. It is same idea as evil and good)

If the Dark/Light thing is coming from Serebii, I'd wait for confirmation from someone else.

Dude has a history of being...let's say unreliable.
Click to expand...

Really? I am curious what kind of information that he is unreliable for?
 
In terms of starter design, I,IV,II,III.
Overall design: II,I,IV,III.

Someone should ask a kid who had DP as his first Pokémon game what he thinks of the first two generations.

Sorry? If anything, Serebii is one of the most reliable source concerning Pokemon these days.
 
Can't dude get banned for posting information like this but not explaining his claim? Sorta like the Wii Will Rock U situation where he was forced to give up his information or face a banning.
 
the first evolution looks great. the second one...well, not as bad as some mockups here on gaf have been, but still to human-like for my liking.
 
There's nothing particularly good or bad about the design, imo. It's just...meh. Just looks like the Lucario of this game. Probably why he's a star of movie 13, just as Lucario was a star of movie 8. :lol
 
It's not coming from Serebii, I don't know where he got that from.

Interesting tidbit from WPM:

WPM said:
It seems that the fifth generation excitement in the air is thicker than previous generations, possibly due to the fact that its announcement came out of nowhere and the release will be here within only a year. With Diamond and Pearl, the fourth generation was advertised over two years before its official release - Munchlax was already in the second Ruby and Sapphire movie before all the third generation Pokemon had even debuted!
This time around, the Pokemon Company decided to focus exclusively on the Pokemon of the current generation rather than advertising the next generation so early, leaving the advertising to the movie directly before the release of the new games. This "delay" probably increased the excitement factor as well, since the gap between the fourth and fifth generations was longer than usual - four years! If you count Munchlax's debut, we have known of the fourth generation for over six years! Pokemon's been out in Japan for fourteen years, and we've had Diamond and Pearl Pokemon for almost half that time

Fourth generation was revealed way too early, which is probably why it's such a shock that they're keeping the fifth generation under wraps this close to release.
 
I read through the replies here before checking the actual image, and at first I was worried because quite a few of you seem underwhelmed at the design. So I nervously head over to serebii, check out the image, and realize I don't need to worry because both designs are fucking awesome

The pre evo reminds me a lot of Shinx's first stage. It looks adorably cute. And then it turns into a badass "monster fox". The color scheme looks awesome, as does Zoroark when he is on all fours. For me, this reveal makes me really optimistic about the direction gen 5 is heading in. I know two pokemon designs isn't nearly enough to gauge how the entire gen will be, but so far so good.

Really disappointed though that the ONLY information from corocoro seems to be the pokemon reveal. I definately wanted some gameplay information. Probably in the next issue.

Maybe on the 21st of pokemon sunday they could reveal some stuff too. Though they could just show a new trailer for the movie or something lame like that

I don't know about that, but I know that he got banned for situation with Professor Layton and Twitter. He adverting for Nintendo, and he admitted that it was him since everyone thought that it was running under Official Nintendo members.


If he is bsing then that's great. I don't really care about Light and Dark but I thought it would be interesting to input and I hope that it would stay in trading cards only.

Yes. Just yes.
 
When Pokemon Emerald was revealed, and the Frontier was shown in scans, Serebii insisted at great length that the Frontier was actually the game incorporating the anime's version of contests. This was despite the fact that the text was right there and people were telling him he was wrong. He accused them of going off inaccurate and doctored scans and only he had the real copy. Then he kind of quietly pretended like none of that happened.

Let's see. He claimed you could trigger the Arceus event (Hall of Origins) multiple times without hacking, which wasn't true. He made up numbers for the honey tree percentages, then went back and changed it when called out, without admitting the originals were phony. He's admitted to news theft, but only in the instances the news was fake. When he steals and it turns out to be true, he claims he was the original source.

He very rarely checks his sources, in any event. I'm just saying, he's fairly unreliable by any non-Pokemon fansite standards.

But he knew the Pokemon characters in Brawl before anyone . . .

I wouldn't say that, a certain imageboard I used to visit had details on all the Brawl characters before Serebii did. In fact, Serebii himself seems to get most of his new information from Japanese imageboards anyway.

Not saying he's never right

But he's also an admitted thief who doesn't verify his sources and often posts bullshit

Meh. He still has the best pokemon site for fast news and updates, and for just about everything else (even though I love smogon too). I'm not saying it excuses shoddy reportings, but they seem to be few and far between. To the point where I had no idea about any of that stuff until you mentioned it, meaning it hasn't affected me in any way!
 
I prefer PokeBeach, but to each his own.

Anyway, I doubt it'd be Light/Dark stuff, considering Dark is already a type.
