That thread was made when we didn't have any infomation on the 5th gen..at all. It's just fan ideas. I could make a thread called pokemon the 6th gen and then come back in two years and say "hey guys we already have a thread for this".
Thanks for the personal attacks though I really appreciate it.
We
still have no information about the 5th Gen. All we have is a clipping of what seems to be an ear. Okay, so
one new Pokemon's existence has been revealed. That was a given that it would happen, as we've all come to realize. Nintendo isn't going to stop the Pokemon games now - the 4th Gen has been extremely successful, so why cease to create more? The thing is,
my 5th Gen Thread hasn't been inactive for two years - in fact, it has constantly been active (albeit not as much as the CPS).
So, this thread is inherently pointless and deserves a lock, as there is already a thread for discussion regarding the 5th Gen. People discuss SSB4, despite having absolutely no information provided regarding the game, so why must we have an entirely new thread all because you found a picture of a new Pokemon? Had you named this thread "first new Pokemon hinted at", or something of the like, this would be a
completely different story. I'm sorry that I started a 5th Gen thread before you and its longevity and success far outweighs this one. I'd like to have started the Zelda thread in the Light House, but I didn't. I still post there somewhat regularly because a thread is a thread.
Personally, I think that that thread is pretty unrealistic in that a Pokemon of the same species would change type into 2 completely different types. That would be like saying there could be a hybrid Pokemon between to Species, meaning that a Flotzal+Dragonite= Flotzanite or some crap like that. Even if Pokemon were to take that kind of approach and try to use real nature in their games, it would also take a ****load of time to make a Pokemon change to fit into a Climate/ Habitat. Pokemon was made to entertain little kids, not to be like Spore and check how would Charizard would look like if he were Ice-type. I think you guys (or girls =P) are just trying to overthink Pokemon and make it too much into something it was never meant to be. It would completely change the whole game style of Pokemon and...ya. I dunno where I started lol. Sorry if I offended anyone.
You address merely my original ideas. There have been loads of pages of intense discussion regarding the 5th Gen, and what
realistic ideas it could bring. You have to start somewhere, so I decided to accumulate all of my ideas that had originated in other threads prior to its creation regarding
what I would like in the 5th Gen, not what was necessarily reasonable. Many, many others have followed in my footsteps and posted their ideas also.
