1. These starters are butt *** ugly. Original 151 ftw..... they actually put thought into them. These aren't just designed badly, they're also drawn badly -- double failure.

2. I think I'm the only person who actually likes the female trainer's look, lol. Don't like the danglies by the sides of her face, but she's rockin the ridiculously high ponytail. I ****s with it.

3. I'm only going to play this game since I can hack it. There, I said it.

Maybe I'm just getting too old for this series, but 5th gen is looking mighty ******** to me. It's painfully obvious that they're churning out badly designed crap just to ride the games' popularity as long as possible and make easy money. Boo to that.
Every gen had bad pokemon, and the later gens had some good ones.

But overall, imo, the quality's taken a nosedive since the first game. GSC wasn't bad, but RSE was when it was kinda like "okay..... more pokemon? Meh, guess this is all right...." then DPPt was the definite cutoff point for me.

The number of butt *** ugly, ridiculous, we're-obviously-fishing-hard-for-ideas-now pokemon goes up and up every generation. They're forcing it.
Like I said: imo, the fifth gen pokemon are designed badly and drawn badly. They're ugly to me and uninspired looking, point blank. Zorua/Zoroark gave me some hope since they have pretty good designs, but these starters are crap.

Note that I said the designs are bad, not the concepts behind them. I don't care if they want to make a fire pig, but at least make a decent one, not something that looks. Well. Like ****.
The designs. For the most part, they designed well off the concepts they were working with [in RBY]. That's what I meant by "put thought into them."

There's a difference between making a grass snake that looks kinda cool and taking the same idea but drawing the first thing that pops into your mind.

I dunno. Just looks to me like they're being lazy.
Already beaten this topic to death in PGD, sooooo yeah. Lazy quote. x.x

The fire pig is all fun and games until it evolves into King Dodongo.

Pokemon games have never changed. People do.

I like all of them!

I like otters. So I might pick the otter. I guess it all depends on what they evolve into. King Dodongo would be cool but once it eats a voltorb its all over...

I think the grass one will have the scariest looking evolution of the 3. That sinister smile...

the water/ice one will evolve into a giant snowman

the pig... oink... not picking this one

Hopefully after this generation, people will stop playing this game and Pokemans can finally die die die.....

Yeah, yeah, I know, just leave me with my vision.....

Snow Warning would be nice, because we all know that Tyranitar will still be there to take a dump on Hail teams. lol

The Water Pokemon can't have Snow Warning though. It'll have Torrent.


EDIT: The abilities have been confirmed. The starters have Overgrow, Blaze, and Torrent as usual. Zoroark has Illusion, which is like a built in Transform.

I just won a small tournament! Should I even bother posting it in the tournament results thread? (I think there were like 16 people.)

So long as there's 15 people, and the rules weren't ******** then I see no problem with it. If you have a tournament link or remember all of the general info (date, location, tournament name) that would be good. Don't forget to include how much you won.

I bought some food... since I hadn't eaten at that point today and was starting to feel it. I still have some left but I am going in to Boston tomorrow for a memorial walk, so that will cost some.

Also, you messed up that quote lol.

Good job, Riot!

........I won a mm today with Zelda. It was only for $1, though. ;; Should've done it for more, but I was scared, lol.

Meh, the problem with $1 mms is that they don't count for rankings. I only did it for low tier experience, though...... it was against a Lucas (who's probably gonna be PA ranked this season).

It was fun tho.... Lucas doesn't feel quite as bad as I expected, although neither of us knew the MU that well.

I've been a bit busy lately :(

Also it's decided - the grass starter with the murder smile is the best out of the 3

Possible priority move names discussed half-awake on shoddy:

Rock - Pebble Fling (just for you, MrEh)
Ground - Tremor (ground-type Extremespeed)
Grass - Root Spike
Fire - Flame Shot
Psychic - Mental Burst (psychic-type Extremespeed)
Poison - Acid Spit
Flying - Speed Wing
Bug - Quick Swarm
Electric - Thunder Jolt (finally justifying TCG and Brawl lolz)
Dragon - Dragon Tail

Also, what do you people think of the idea of adding a new type in 5th gen? I was thinking light-type?

Also hi Zelda boards, nice to see you guys are still around.

light type seems too predictable - we need unique ones: dairy type - milk, cream, cakes, pastries you name it - effective against normals for making them fat and ineffective against ghosts because they don't eat.

I'm thinking a digital type - like a Facebook Pokemon - FesBok would be it's name. It would rival porygon and its epileptic flashes of death on TV, I think this type would be effective against machines and terrible against water, fire, ice and every hazard that ruined my tamagotchi back in the day.

hmmm... a musical type? - musical instruments that come alive, trumpeeti and pibliano would be the benchmarks - they'd bash others to death with their keys and buttons but they would be weak to jigglypuff's singing.

I'll stop now
