The names suck.

Likely to change, those are just the Japanese names. Pretty much guaranteed that they will have different English names.

I dunno, I kind of like the new pokemon in its evolved form. Sort of reminds me of Ninetails from Okami, except black.

Pokemon I would like to see:
MORE DINOSAURS! ANY, I DON'T CARE. JUST MORE.
Some kind of peacock or pheasant
Some manner of pumpkin or Jack o' Lantern, like, grass/dark, grass/ghost, grass/fire. Something.
A cockroach. I really don't see why not. They are one of the 3 most common animals in Japan and they all ready covered rats and crows (the other two). Plus I think it might be cool, gaining and loosing resistances throughout battles.
I guess just more bugs in general, and make them good.
Some kind of fighting/ghost. That would be cool
A shrimp? Cradaunt doesn't count
Evolutions on good but rather outdated pokemon from previous titles, Aerodactyl, Kangaskhan etc.

Just other things I'd like to see:
In game calender events/holidays
Seasons
Maybe customizable secondary types (would need to make the pokemon type visable in combat to make this even fair)
Less surfing
Less caves
A victory road that isn't a horrible, miserable, life choking, soul crushing cavern
Although to contrast less surfing, I'd like to see some underwater action, like in Gen3
Larger, less linear towns that also have their own trainers and wild pokemon
The ability to make your own teams, maybe even hire NPC lackies and give them their own pokemon to use, or just have other people join your team, sort of like WoW guilds
Only one central legendary pokemon, and its not some all mighty, all powerful, doomsday device of a creature, just an exceptionaly powerful pokemon with a bit of a grudge against humanity (ala MewTwo)


I dunno, I'd still be happy if non of these things come true, they are just stuff I would like to say. And oh yeah, it needs character customization options this time.

Alternate, elegant evolution for dragonair (i hate dragonite)

whats wrong with dragonite? i couldnt wait to get rid of dragonair b/c it looks so...idk what the word is, but it looks too much like gackt, if he were a pokemon....

[Amethyst]

I feel like Zorua is the ghetto version of Vulpix.
Zoroark is ghetto Lucario.

Foxxies are cool and all, but I don't actually like these designs too much...

[kspr]

this is probably the new Poocheyena. nobody will ever catch it and it's basically worthless.

anyway, what are the new colors for 5th gen? precious metals have run their course at this point, and all the good gems have been used by now. pokemon plastic version? paper version? drywall version?

instead of introducing more basic pokemon, they should just introduce different evolutionary variants. with a genepool that varied, chimpanzees would no longer be the only animals engaging in turf wars. not to say that charizard would be the only thing on the food chain, but with all the basic pokemon, and all of them evolving into only one genetic variant, with the exception of ninjask or evee, the genepool and environmental sustainability would basically be nil

[Icey-kun]

something random maybe something to do with fruit XD

[Maelstrom]

Dude, skull, are you reading my mind? I was totally thinking about a cockroach pokemon. It's ability would double it's life gain from Leftovers. xD
I was also thinking pumpkin jakolantern thing a while back too, but then I figured maybe duskull was enough. But it would still be cool.
Fighting/ghost? a deceased fighter... not sure what it would look like. maybe something like a vengeful samurai spirit?

Kasper- It goes from being an elegant serpent to a big, fat puff the magic dragon character. It really looks goofy to me. after it's elegant curves, it becomes a round goofball with little wings. >.> And I like gackt, though I don't know how you can feel dragonair is like gackt embodied as a pokemon. xD


Heh, I was gonna say, this new pokemon feels like the new lucario. It's big enough to be the core of a whole new movie, so while it won't be terribly rare (maybe one per game and breedable), it won't be the new bidoof/rattata. I didn't dig lucario at first, but he grew on me. I really can't see that happening with this one though...

I think a Dark type wolf would have been awesome. What with Howl, moonlight, roar, extremespeed and all that stuff.


I don't mind surfing, considering my penchant for water pokemon. but yeah, less mountain climbing and rock stuff, please. and I hate fighting off amillion zubat in a single cave run.

I dunno about customizable types... maybe from holding a special item that affects a pokemon's dna structure...

I was thinking making the pokemon abilities customizable, so that you can switch between which abilities are more useful to you at the moment.
I was also thinking of secondary abilities that only take effect outside of battle. some abilities already sort of have one in the sense that they have a second function, like white smoke lowering encounter rates, but a separate ability that does something.

[Rikuthetater]

I swear, pokemon has just gotten way too odd for me. >_>

[Amethyst]

Ew, cockroach. No thanks.

I also strongly disagree with the no more basics, just evolutions thing. I wish there were a lot more basics. I was sad to dismiss some old favorites for the hoenn games, but there were so many totally new ones, it was worth it. With Sinnoh, not only do we not get all of the Pokemon, but not even half of the ones we do see are new? No thanks. I doubt they intend to put in the whole national dex at first, either, but I just hope there's plenty of new ones that don't tag on to what we've already seen.

[Maelstrom]

Yeah, i do like the idea of new basics. it just gives a fresh new feel to it, if they pick some interesting animals to base them off of.

this fox thing, they base off the old japanese belief of mystical, magical, mischievious foxes and fox spirits. sly, mean, and nasty things...

What this game needs is for HM moves to go die. I hate having to have a pokemon with an ability. It's so god damn annoying.

[Amethyst]

Either that, or they need to not force you to waste one of your precious four move slots allegedly permanently.

Yeah, I dislike the entire HM-concept. Why don't you just make a couple HM-slaves?

I tend to do that, but stuff like Surf and Fly you tend to just need most of the time anyways.

[Stars]

At least Surf is a decent attack. Just about every other HM is useless in battle.

[Monkeydog]

I don't know, Fly is alright. But yeah, Surf is my favourite HM move in battle.

[Maelstrom]

Rock Climb isn't that bad, not for my machamp anyways. it gets me around the post-e4 parts of dpt and it's a fairly good move for when fighting things that resist fighting.

[Icey-kun]

Well I got bored and decided to make a sprite for Zoroark wish i could of done it from scratch so instead I cut up some other pokemon and made em

[rekaru]

Whoa, that sprite is pretty nice. And it's only your second post too :3

[Maelstrom]

lol, he likes to lurk, but not post. He also likes to make sprites out of misc. pokemon parts. He should post those, if he hasn't already.
