Is that Platinum???
As for the Rotom hypothesis, it sounds plausible, I thought the same thing when I saw that blue one.

Eh, they all look pretty stupid if you ask me -- but yeah, my money would be on Rotom for all of them.
...But wait. These are fifth gen, for sure? I hope to god not, because look at the background -- Sinnoh. I'm not going to endure that region for another generation.
Plus, if they're Rotom forms (as they all seem to be) then why would we be getting them next generation, with Platinum being the big "new form" game, and with Rotom being fourth generation?

I think it's going way too far to assume they're all some form of Rotom at this stage. Next month's CoroCoro will have more on them, so that'll be nice...

Hm. Well, I guess these have to be fifth gen. Probably. Serebii said
If leaflets are given out with Platinum, wouldn't that be a future Pokemon? As in, wouldn't appear in Platinum?Serebii said:

4th gen was released just over a year ago, it's way too early for a new gen. I hope it's Rotom alternate forms since Rotom is pwnage.

Ooh, you all sound so tough, dissing the 4th gen...
This gen is greatly underrated, in my opinion. People didn't (don't) like the new Pokemon because... They weren't (aren't) willing to. Sure, Glameow may be a bit unoriginal, but what about the awsome ones? We got a balloon who drags children to Hell, we got a partially-braindead beaver Pokemon (Which is awsome, if you didn't know), a cat that strangles itself to make it look bigger, a penguin/suit-of-armor hybrid, and many others.
And whoever said that 'Arceus looks like a robot goat ballerina' is right. And that is freakin' amazing! What did you want, some kind of muscly, humanoid, cliched god? No, a god wouldn't look like that. A god would look like the near-formless monstosity Gamefreak gave us.
Arceus just radiates originallity, unlike certain other legendaries (*cough*MewMewtwoArticunoHo-OhMoltresZapdosetc.*cough*). So I bend my to you, O mighty PokeGod, and as I gaze upon your mighty golden ring-thing, I wish bestowed the First gen with more awsomeness than just Charizard, Lickitung, and the few other Chosen Ones. Shay'men.
...What was the topic, again?

For some reason, Tangrowth came to my mind when I saw the blue one. >_<
I'll just wait until the next CoroCoro thingy before I form assumptions.

If thats 5 Gen pokemon, the guys who design the good Pokemon better be working on Zelda Wii...
Any ways I like some of the 4th Gen Pokemon, Torterra being my Favorite(its a walking Turtle tree common XD)

The concept of Arceus is awesome, but I'm not fond of its design. I would hate the big Godly muscular looking Pokemon to be honest. I'd rather Arceus be a very natural looking Godly stag with large antlers, and flowing fur, trailing behind it. I understand that the concept of 4th Gen is kind of that futuristic space thing, and that's reflected in Team Galactic, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Cresselia, Darkrai, and Arceus (and even the Lake Trio). They were designed under that concept, and while I fully respect it, I just don't like it. It doesn't feel natural enough, and that's the field that I explore and appreciate the most; that which feels like it draws so much more from our natural world.
I think the reason that I, and many others were not satiated with the selection of Pokemon in the 4th Gen is because they seemed to be trying too hard on the Pokemon. For instance (sorry Darkslash) Torterra is totally forced in my opinion. Turtwig and Grotle are pretty neat looking, but Torterra is just a turtle... with a tree and a couple rocks on its back. When a Pokemon is grass ONLY because it has a tree on its back, then it's a very forced concept. You must work to incorporate all of the aspects, which include: base animal, plant, etc, types, size, weight, form, evolutionary stages, location found, etc, etc, etc. You see, with Torterra, if you scrap the tree, it's just a Ground Pokemon. If you were to slap a big rock on it, it would be Rock/Ground. If you were to put a bonfire on its back, it would be Fire/Ground. They could have easily made a turtle that was part plant or something.

I'm going to have to agree with Meta-Kirby...and, well, as it seems everyone else here... these are obviously Rotom transformations. Note the point on the heads, and the pointy arms. However, I bring my own theroy to the mix... When Arceus was released, it brought a whole new kind of Pokemon transformation to light: Not one that depended on environment, but rather one that depended on items attached. Now, I don't know about all of you, but I think each of the Pokemon here are supposed to resemble an electric appliance. Keep in mind that Rotom's definition is a Pokemon who enters electronic objecets and wreaks havoc.
As if nobody knew where I was going with this, I think that the main character can find appliances and use them to alter rotom and power him up. Green looks like a security camera to me, orange looks like a propeller, red looks like a toaster, purple looks like a mini-tv... and although I'm not sure what in the WORLD blue is supposed to be, I'll shoot for raging refrigirator with a bad past. :/
I know this may sound a little Farfetche'd...Ok, pun intended... But keep in mind, this is the game that had female Mr. Mimes, and Kankaskahn children who are born with their parents in the egg. Nothing would surprise me. So...thoughts? :]

So your saying, you like the idea of arceus being a goat/stag/deer but don't like the way the designers made him look like?
Oh, and the are terrible designs. I hope their not rotom forms: Rotom's too awesome; he just needs better stats and movepool.

I was perfectly willing to like the Pokemon, I didn't come into it with a close-minded attitude at all. But aside from Piplup and family, Bidoof and family, Pachirisu, and Shaymin (GROUND FORM ONLY), I find the Pokemon to be either not creative enough or too..."creative". Most of the pre-evolutions/evolutions are just trying really hard to shell out another Pokemon in that line, and it shows. Especially so with Leafeon and Glaceon -- not only are they nearly identical in their basic form (without extra grassy/icy features applied) but they don't even feel like evolutions to previous Pokemon. Most of the fourth generation evolutions do that, and those that do feel like evolutions are just stupid, like Lickilicky and Electivire.
...Well, okay, there are some good fourth generation Pokemon, but there are still a majority of them that I find stupid. Did we really need two more generic fish, which no one's going to use anyways? Drapion looks like...something, I don't know what, but it's not a good thing. Carnivine is like an attempt at a Victreebell replacement, Buneary and Lopunny just look weird, Spiritomb is the most odd-looking Pokemon ever, I don't even know what the purpose of Chatot is and it looks stupid (music note head? Honestly?), Combee is three honeycombs with three faces and wings...I could keep going, I won't.
Then let's move onto the legendaries. The trio embodies so much of this uncreativity that you seem to be against, not only in their basic design but in the fact that the only big change between the three is their head color and "hair", for lack of a better term, style. Heatran has zero backstory. Regigigas looks like a robot that someone left in the jungle too long and now it has plants growing on it, Cresselia is a blob of...I don't even know WHAT it's a blob of. It's just so ugly. Manaphy is...weird-looking and doesn't carry on the Mew line well at all, plus it can breed. Darkrai is pretty stupid, Failed Potato looks like a failed attempt at an Eeveelution that fell in the garbage, and...let's move on to Arceus.
No one asked for a human God of Pokemon, quite the contrary, I don't think anyone would want that. But Arceus looks like a deformed goat, honestly, and that's not really a good thing, at least not in Arceus's case. There are other Pokemon that I think would hold the position of Pokemon God better, honestly, like Mewtwo (I know you find him uncreative but I think Mewtwo's awesome, always will be the most awesome legendary), although his back story is much better than him being a Pokemon God.
I think a very outlandish Pokemon would be a good Pokemon God, I just don't think that they got the design right with Arceus.
Yeah, I'm with you on Torterra. I mean, as awesome as that tree on his back is (that concept is really cool to me, I'm not sure why), it's really the only thing that makes him Grass. His design is pretty poor. That one idea wouldn't have been a bad idea to keep there, just not alone.

Yeah, I've got to agree with you. As much as I do indeed like Pokemon, I feel that it's just... forced anymore. I mean, my best advice to Nintendo is to use the Pokemon they have to make more games, rather than making a ton more. How do they honesly plan to make more Pokemon past the "Poke-God?" How ridiculous that they found the God of Pokemon, yet somehow missed a squirrel with a fishes head (I dunno, grabbing at straws). Don't get my wrong, I still like Pokemon, but what if they made a game with perhaps 10, not necessarily legendary, new Pokemon, in a whole new region? That would certainly be better than 10 trillion new evolutions and babies...;/ I dunno, I guess like you Firus, I'm simply looking for some originality. That's why I liked GSC so much, they were just so different than all the others. There's an idea! A GSC remake! *hint hint Nintendo* ;]

No more remakes. That's just remixing the monsters into different areas of the story. But you could stick the old party together again!
Also, there are really two sets of creatures in this series. The first one is made up of Swellow, Miltank, Charizard, and so on. These are creatures-turned-fighters. The second set is composed of Steelix, Rotom, Jigglypuff, and the whole group of "creative", Japanese, pastel-drawings-in-a-bright-New-Age-house beings, not comparable to real animals. Only so many "creative" monsters can be made in each generation...

Yes probably rotom since they have that indrustrial / electric look to them and rotom did come out of a television.

The green one looks like a chatot form/ evo. Look at that limb at the bottom, it looks like a bird's foot. Not to mention that box thing that looks like a mouth. Prehaps, Talkbox?

What, so Bulbasaur doesn't count? I mean, if you took away the bulb, he'd be a Poison frog. If you were to put a bonfire on his back, he'd be a Poison/Fire. Same goes for Chicorita (a dinosaur with a few leafs) and it's evos, Treeco and the gang, Tropius, and many others I just can't seem to remember right now.
Infact, the only reason many Pokemon are the type they are is because of a tree sticking out of them or something like that. If Typhlosion didn't have a mane of fire, there's no way in HELL that thing would be a fire type. Without the coloring, would Murkrow still be a Dark-type? Without the lightning-bolt tail, would Pikachu still have reason to be Electric.
I find your logic flawed here, Spire, because so many other, older Pokemon follow that rule.

If those 5 pokes are alt forms of Rotom, I wish they had different typing to go with it. Fire/Ghost, Water/Ghost, Grass/Ghost, something along those lines

Your argument makes sense. I don't hate all the pokemon in the 4th gen, just some.
I hate arceus because he's meant to be a god of pokemon and seems like a mewtwo replacement (though this argument may seem flawed, it's my feeling for a pokegod that bothers me).
The design of the pokemon doesn't matter as long as the poke isn't displayed in a goofy silly way when it could have looked awesome.

I don't think Arceus will be a great UBER like people think, sure he has 120 in every base stat, but just like mario in brawl, total balance =/= win, sure we wont know what someone's Arceus will be, but he can only have 2 very very high stats, thats all due to EVs, and they wont be better then some pokemon, such as Mewtwo EV trained for SPattack vs Arceus trained in the same stat. I also like his look, thats how a god SHOULD look, not look like a human. Glad gamefreak did that, otherwise imagine how many people would go around saying "I'm human, I'm the god of Pokemon."
sorry if that sounds harsh, maybe the part with the stats isn't too relivent, but I had to say it. And for those pokemon shapes, I think it would be Roton as well, they just look like what he would be.

As a Drapion user, it offends me that you think it's not good, when Poison/Dark is a great combo b/c ground is its ONLY weakness and great ATK and SPD.
I agree that Spiritomb and Chatot are weird, but Spiritomb's broken with no weakness and high HP unlike Sableye, but it's slow.
The 4th Gen is better than all the Gens, no matter the theme of time and space or whatever. I believe also the "the five" are Rotom, the question is where are the items to make Rotom change?
Oh, I know Nintendo made a pokemon god inorder to get atheist kids to be monotheistic or polytheistic. It makes perfect sence.
Zook, you have a good point about the sticks on the head of a pokemon automatically make it grass. but if it wasn't for that logic kids (sadly) wouldn't undestand their reasoning, currently they probably don't know why Charmander is called charmander (Char+Salamander=Charmander), or why even Haunter is called Haunter. but that is the problem with (especailly now) TV and little Einsteins happy kids. So your argument is valid, bu if it weren't for those stick on the head kids would think that turtwig was bird

Turtwig looks nothing like a bird, but i still think that they could be what i said the orange a pre ev. of registeel, the blue a pre ev. of regice, and the red a pre ev. of regirock. they could also be other forms of rotom which would be just as cool as the pre evs. of the three regis

Also, I finally learned what Drapion looks like:
A Vacuum Cleaner!
See, its torso is the base, and its accordion-esque neck is the hose. Its teeth are like a mustache.

The first time I saw this news was when a friend emailed it to me. I said are those Rotoms? And he said OMG ROTOMS! So since I'm not the only one saying this, and that I was my first suspicion, these figures must be Evolutions of Rotom or Relatives to Rotom.
