As my name suggests, I play Pokemon and I know quite a bit about the franchise. So, ask ANY questions you have about the games and I'll make sure to answer them ASAP.
Take your best shot, because there's nothing I don't know about Pokemon. :D
Enjoy asking! :^.^:

Okay, what's your favorite Pokemon?

Okay, what's your favorite Pokemon?
Bringing it down to my absolute favorite out of the 493 Pokemon is an incredibly hard task and one I don't plan on bringing it down to anytime soon.
However, I have a much easier time narrowing it down by type. So, based on type, here's my choices:
Normal: Snorlax
Fire: Infernape
Water: Manaphy
Electric: Electivire
Grass: Celebi
Ice: Jynx
Fighting: Machamp
Poison: Drapion
Ground: Marowak
Flying: Shaymin - Sky Forme
Bug: Heracross
Psychic: Mew
Rock: Rhyperior
Ghost: Mismagius
Dragon: Garchomp
Dark: Tyranitar
Steel: Jirachi
You want me to narrow it down more? Forget it! Not happening. :D

Okay, I gotta know. How many pokemon are there RIGHT NOW? Last time I checked it was 150. :p

Out of different Species, there's a total of 493 Different Pokemon to collect. However, because of the elusive coding in the game, you CAN'T get them all legally. You would need to go to Events, which are in New York City, thus making them vastly expensive to go to by most owners of the game. Not to mention they are always packed daily. So, most people end up getting certain ones through a third-party cheat device. (WAY cheaper doing it that way, if you ask me.)
So, out of the ones you can get without a cheat device or going through events and just simple trading or transferring with spin-off Pokemon games, (Like Pokemon Ranger) you can only get... 483 in the end.
However, you should know that even after getting them all, you're not done. No, some even have different forms, which can only be unlocked through certain means. When you add in these ones, you end up with a total of 523.
Also, if you are THE most elusive of collectors, you'd be interested in capturing those of a different colorization, which are called Shiny Pokemon. Since EVERY different form of Pokemon has one, it's double that, which makes the grand total a whopping 1,046 kinds of Pokemon to capture.
Good luck getting them all. :D

Man, PK has become a monstrosity in recent years! Glad I got out of it before I had to remember that many stats. :p
What's up with these steel type PK? I remember running into one in a more recent GB game and it was a real pain in the a$$ because its HP took FOREVER to go down. What's their weakness? I know water is really effective against rock and such, but I'm waaaaaaaaaay outa the loop here. :nyah

Steel types first came into play when Gold and Silver came out. They have only 3 weaknesses. They are Fire, Ground and Fighting.
However, there's more to it than that. Steel types have MANY resistances and elusive tricks to make some of their biggest threats have problems if they're not careful. (Seriously, masters of the game can take out newbies and skilled unprepared players in only one to three turns per Pokemon with these guys.)
On top of this, most of them are dual-typed Pokemon. So you have to put the second type into the equation to figure out a good move. Most of them end up getting rid of at least one weakness completely. However, this also sometimes means making one of the other types a one-hit kill. So, if you plan it right, they can be simple.

How did the Pokemon's tears resurrect Ash in the first movie?

My friend told me Ash gave away all his original pokemen in the TV show. Why'd he do that.

How did the Pokemon's tears resurrect Ash in the first movie?
The truth is that the Anime of Pokemon gives it's own perspective on the world of Pokemon, meaning the writers end up making up whatever they want about them. You could find TONS of things that were made up with hardly an explanation within the first season of the Pokemon Anime.
So, the writers made up a legend about how the sadness of Pokemon can bring one that is dead back to life. They have been using it since the first movie, just portraying it in different ways each time someone dies.
So yeah, blame the writers on that one.
My friend told me Ash gave away all his original pokemen in the TV show. Why'd he do that.
First off, he never technically GAVE THEM AWAY. To give them away would mean for the Pokemon to get nothing in return, be given a completely different owner and to really have no purpose at all. The ONLY Pokemon that falls under this is Beedrill. As for the rest...
Butterfree: Butterfree was released and so that it could mate and start a family.
Haunter: Haunter was never really Ash's Pokemon to begin with, as he never caught the Pokemon. Haunter decided to stay with Sabrina on it's own accord to keep her happy.
Primeape: Primeape was given to a trainer who specialized in Fighting Pokemon and so that it could get stronger. It still technically belongs to Ash. He just needs to call it up when the time comes.
Pidgeot: Pidgeot was released and so that it could watch over a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto that are often attacked by Spearow and Fearow.
Squirttle: Squirttle was returned to it's old gang as they needed it to become the great fire fighting squad they are today. Squirttle can return to help Ash any time it wants. This was proven in one episode where Ash used Squirttle to take on Frontier Brain, Brandon.
Lapras: Lapras never really belonged to Ash. It was still technically an infant and was returned to it's family after beating a bunch of poachers.
Charizard: Charizard was left in the Charicific Valley to train alongside other Charizard and become stronger. It still belongs to Ash and can return to him at anytime.
Larvitar: Larvitar was never truly Ash’s and was always destined to return to its Tyranitar mother since it hatched.
Aipom: Aipom was traded to Dawn and so that it could compete in contests as Ash was never interested in them. Aipom later evolved into Ambipom. In the Japanese series, it was released to become a Ping-Pong Tournament Champion.
As for any Pokemon we don't see after certain regions are done, they are living peacefully at Professor Oak's Lab, waiting to be called upon if Ash feels he ever needs them.
Hope you can explain that all to your friend. :)

What's the deal with Mew in the red and blue versions of the game? :p
Everyone seems to cheat somehow to get him but I also hear it's a legitimate pokemon in the game...so why does everyone cheat, is he officially in the red and blue games like any other pokemon and is there a proper way to get him? I've never heard of one! :p

has anyone heard about heartgold and soulsilver

The reason SO many people cheat to get Mew is because there's really no other way to get one, save through a rather elusive glitch. (Found here. (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=6163&view=findpost&p=9127944))
Mew is technically within Red and Blue, based on the FACT that it is in the coding, so it does exist.
Save for the elusive glitch, the ONLY way to get Mew legitimately is to go to an event in New York, which is ALWAYS packed.
Since it would be VERY expensive just to get to the area, lots of people buy a cheat device to get one just because it WAY less expensive.
Mew is the exception to the rule of getting them all legally, because basically, there really is NO other way.
has anyone heard about heartgold and soulsilver
Ah yes, the two new games due to come out in America in Spring 2010. They are quite the updated versions of Gold and Silver. :)

What do you think of the Main Characters of Pokemon (Ash, Misty, Brock, etc.)?

What made you be interested in Pokemon?

What do you think of the Main Characters of Pokemon (Ash, Misty, Brock, etc.)?
What do I think of them?
Well...
Ash: He was an interesting character from the start. He was definitely dumb when he began. However, he has vastly improved. I like the way he cares about other Pokemon. Not to mention I'm REALLY liking the enemies he has now. (That don't include the Team Rocket Trio we know.)
Misty: My favorite! Do you even need to ask why? She's a freaking tomboy! I love the arguments she has with Ash and what I miss most about Pokemon. :(
Brock: As long as someone or something keeps him away from the girls, I don't care much for him. :P:
Tracey: Pretty useless really. Glad they brought back Brock when they did. :D
May: I actually like her quite a bit. Not much I can say about her though.
Max: Can this kid not be an egotistic know-it-all for ONE episode? Seriously, he doesn't know everything.
Dawn: The latest addition to the team, and how do I feel about her? To be honest, I'm not sure what to say. I just somehow think Dawn is the one the female audience has been waiting for this whole time.
What made you be interested in Pokemon?
The Anime. I have enjoyed the Anime since it came out and it's what got me interested in the games. I just got better and better with each new game that came out. I could probably boast with the best of them. :D

How did this insane "Pikablu" rumor start?
-
How did this insane "Pikablu" rumor start?
When the silhouette of Marril was shown before it's official name way back after Yellow came out. If you take a look at Marril's tail, doesn't seem to remind you of Pikachu? Yeah, that's where the name and the rumor started.
Ever since, rumors popped up about it being in the original games. However, I'll tell you this right now... PIKABLU IS NOT IN THE POKEMON GAMES! EVERYTHING YOU FIND IS FALSE!!
All of the capturing methods you find all lead to capturing a random Pokemon and nicknaming it Pikablu. THAT right there gives it away to being false.
And yeah, some of the things show official sources and all, but they're false too. Many times they were April Fool's Jokes and no one cared to give out the fine print.
So yeah, it's all a lie. One that still exists and eludes people to this day, which is just sad. :(

What is a Charizard's biggest weakness?
-
fire is weak to water
-
Well yeah, but I've also found that Charizard can defeat some water-types with sheer power, and I've seen that Ice and Electrics do well against it, but Charizard's power can defeat them, too. Ground and Rock can kill it too,
but none seem to be truely super effective.
-
look water cAN beat fire
-
look water cAN beat fire
Sure. Water can beat fire. It's super effective too. But if you have a firepokemon it doesn't mean you always lose to a water type! :)
-
Okay, let me resolve this.
With Charizard being both a Fire and Flying type, Rock is the one type that ends up doing the most damage.
The reason for this is simple math. Rock does twice the normal damage on Fire types and Rock does twice the normal damage on Flying type Pokemon. So, in this case, Rock ends up doing quadruple damage on a Fire/Flying Pokemon.
In the case of Water or Electricity, they end up getting only one type, thus both end up doing only twice the damage. In the case of Water, it ends up getting the weakness of Fire only. In the case of Electric, it ends up getting the weakness of Flying only. So neither of them could end up getting quadruple the damage on Charizard. ONLY Rock can pull off the maximum damage to that powerful dragon.
Hope that helps, jedi. :)

What's your opinion on there being more than 495 pokemon?
My Message to Nintendo: Enough's enough! Please stop making more pokemon! I can't keep track here!
Seriously though, it's just too much already! :P:
What does a Pokemon's "nature" mean? How does it affect its performance?
In a way, you can think of the Pokemon's nature as their personality. These different natures tend to have a slight changing effect in their stats. (HP, Attack, etc.) It has now become a vital factor in the High Level On-line Battles. Despite the fact that it only gives a 1.1x change in the stats, when your pokemon is already powerful in that area, it makes a huge change. (Seriously, you would not believe it!) To be honest, I don't have the whole nature and stats changes they make memorized, but I'd say this is the best place to look for information on it.
http://www.serebii.net/games/natures.shtml (http://www.serebii.net/games/natures.shtml)
Seriously, it's a great guide to this. Despite the fact that it hasn't been updated since Ru/Sa, the information of this in the games themselves hasn't changed since then either.

What do you think of all the pokemon movies being made?
-
What do you think of all the pokemon movies being made?
Can we have one where Ash doesn't save the day but one of the other characters do? Seriously, you've done it too much already! I know he's the star and all, but STOP!
Other than that, is it just me or are they starting to get worse with each new movie? Action can only hide so much crappiness, ya know.
-
I don't know, I thought 2000 and Mewtwo Returns were the best of the lot. Speaking of which, what's you favorite Pokemon movie and/or episode?
-
I've been watching a lot of PK just because it downloaded quickly and I haven't had anything else to watch, so I'll get right to this.
Other than that, is it just me or are they starting to get worse with each new movie?
No, it is NOT just you. I've watched movies 1-10 (I have the other 2, but I'm saving them for when I get REALLY bored), and the only good one's were 1, 3. 5, and maybe 8. The others were like.....sucky to say the least.
Okay, now to a real question here. WTF was up with Chikorita (probably misspelled that, but...)? Am I the only one that thought they way he/she acted towards Ash was a bit....oh I dunno....creepy and inappropriate? Then he/she (I'm working on grammar here, can you tell?) evolved into...uhhh...leaf-something and it got even more creepy....at least for a while. Then it was like...gone. Then Ash like dumped all his PK and it was like WTFH?
-
Jedi: I actually said it's the newer movies that are worse. Re-read it, please.
As for my favorite Pokemon Movie, without a doubt, Pokemon: The Power of One (Pokemon 2000 in US). In all truth, I do download the original with English Subs of these after I've seen the one in the US to compare the two. Without a doubt, this comparison shows how much better the Japanese version is when compared to the 4Kids Dub. The 4Kids Dub was good, but the original Japanese just rocked in comparison.
For one thing, in the original, they don't say that it all depends on Ash Ketchum. Rather that a mystery trainer will be the one to save the day. This alone made the storyline a lot better.
On top of this, the little love moments between Ash and Misty in this movie are a lot more cemented. The words used just made the moments more meaningful. I can't remember the dialogue right now, but I do remember it being better. (Oh, and yes, I am a Pokeshipper. (Ash & Misty Love Supporter. :D ))
I also like the moral of how one person can make such a difference in the world. It just seems to really work for this movie.
The action sequences were also quite good. This was before 3D Animation started causing problems. (Which might be one reason I hated the Deoxys one so much. Simply not doing good enough with 3D Animation.) It's still done in 2D and looks terrific. :)
In all truth, a great movie and the best of them all. I really can't find a better Pokemon movie than this one. :)
So to me, Pokemon: The Power of One. The best of the best! :^.^:

^^^You didn't answer my previous question. Guess you didn't see it. But anyway, I'll ask another one I guess.
What is your opinion of Lucario? Very general question I guess, and I expect a well thought-out answer. And I'm not just talking about the Lucario in the movie. I'm talking about character dynamics and potential for the overall character in later movies as well as fanfictions and perhaps even a more....complicated relationship between human and Pokemon than we've seen in the movies and TV series so far. I'm probably overly-obsessed with complicated dynamic characters, and Lucario scores a 10/10 in my book.
EDIT: I know I'm asking you to write a lot. Maybe this is a question better suited to email/PM or MSN (though I really don't do MSN anymore). Feel free to email me if you don't want to write a book in one topic response.
-
Sorry about not answering, LBTlover. I really didn't see it. :D
Anyways,
Okay, now to a real question here. WTF was up with Chikorita (probably misspelled that, but...)? Am I the only one that thought they way he/she acted towards Ash was a bit....oh I dunno....creepy and inappropriate? Then he/she (I'm working on grammar here, can you tell?) evolved into...uhhh...leaf-something and it got even more creepy....at least for a while. Then it was like...gone. Then Ash like dumped all his PK and it was like WTFH?
There is a simple answer to this, but you may not like it. Brock basically said it best when he observed the behavior himself.
"I think Chikorita has a crush on Ash."
Yep, that's the whole explanation to it. She simply had an over-affectionate crush on Ash. Even up to the point when she evolved into Bayleef, she still had a crush. In episode though, Ash just exploded and told her NOT to tackle him anymore. For this episode, Bayleef thought that Ash didn't love her like she did him, so she ran away. This is true. Ash doesn't love his Pokemon in that way, but he does care about them. Even Bayleef. So basically, Ash went after her and showed that he still cared.
This experience for Bayleef helped her mature and now she just doesn't do it because it's what her master wishes of her. Despite the truth she has learned, she still does love Ash that deeply. She just knows they can't be together like that.
Despite all this revelation that has come forth with the show, some fans still have unusual fantasies of Ash and Bayleef being in that kind of relationship and becoming mates. (You'll most likely find this in Fanfiction.net with the M-rating filter on. Or on various Pokemon Porn sites.) To be honest, I am against the whole Pokemon&Human Shippings, but I find some people do make good, well-crafted stories out of them. So, it's not all bad.
Still, I don't like it. -_-
What is your opinion of Lucario? Very general question I guess, and I expect a well thought-out answer. And I'm not just talking about the Lucario in the movie. I'm talking about character dynamics and potential for the overall character in later movies as well as fanfictions and perhaps even a more....complicated relationship between human and Pokemon than we've seen in the movies and TV series so far. I'm probably overly-obsessed with complicated dynamic characters, and Lucario scores a 10/10 in my book.
IMHO, Lucario is overrated. However, I guess it deserves the fan support it has gotten. First off, it is a cool looking Pokemon. Perfectly designed for the role of fighting and giving the animators and designers a chance to work with the "Martial Arts" Genre in Episodes and Movies. An area they've hardly tackled, but obviously do well at when it shows.
Not to mention in the games that it's just powerful. With the power it holds and the awesome coverage with it's moves, it can hold it's own against a number of the Legendary Pokemon, but does not qualify as such. Still, it can put up quite a fight.
The combination of such made the fan-support that came with it highly expected. There have been many fanfictions already made on Fanfiction.net with this Pokemon. Even ones where Human&Pokemon mating actually exists. (Even ones that have the result of children sometimes.) There are some with complex story-lines of how the world doesn't approve of such relationships and everyone wants to kill them both. (Yes, literally kill them.) However, those are few and far between.
In my area of fandom, I could just expect Lucario to be yet another member of the team. Though it's not a favorite of mine, if I need that kind of coverage with my team, I'll put it in. I'm not a fan and I don't plan to be one. :)
-
Ummmm....I really don't know what to say about most of your post, but I was thinking of a more complex relationship between human and Pokemon in a different way. Since Lucario can speak, it can really challenge the belief that many humans share that Pokemon are for nothing but capture and training. There's one thing that makes PK and animals different and that's that PK can actually understand humans and respond in a human-like way to most situations. Sounds to me like the basis for an amazing movie, or a fanfiction if nothing else. I'd prefer a movie though. There aren't many good writers out there. Of course, a theme like this might be a bit to "deep" for kids though, so I doubt they'll make a GOOD movie about it even if the roll the movie out.

Which is the best PokÈmon fan fiction you have read?
Do you like dark PokÈmon fics or no?
And this: Have you read Latias' Journey (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2053520/1/Latias_Journey/)?
Plot of Latias' Journey: When the Ghost King destroys Latias's home city of Alto Mare and kills all of her friends after she spurns his advances, she is forced to embark on a long journey that takes her across the Pokemon world. There, she meets up with Ash and the other Chosen. Together, the Chosen are forced to embark on many adventures across the land.
Oh and the fic is EXTREMELY violent and has some sexual content.
-
Which is the best PokÈmon fan fiction you have read?
To be highly honest, it is hard to give one of them that was the best for me. One thing I will tell you is that some of the best just NEVER appear on Fanfiction.net. I'm not kidding here. As many Pokemon Fics as it has, it just does not contain some of the best. Under most circumstances, you would have to search hard for them, but I'll save you the trouble.
(Note: I ask that you be patient with some of these links. There's SO many people on this place at one time. Due to that reason, it takes up a lot of bandwidth.)
Fate and Destiny of Friends (http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=14334)
If you are into the concept of Pokeshipping, (Ash & Misty Love Relationship) I highly recommend it. The story takes place before Ash earns his eighth Houen Badge. Basically, they meet again at Sootopolis City, and what happens from there, I will not spoil. Even after being banned, I still go back on as a guest just to check it out. It is one of the best I have ever read. If you are into Pokeshipping, please read it. You will not regret it.
Also on Serebii Forums, if you go to the Completed Fics Section, look up a guy named Brian Powell. He is just incredible. He is one of the best Comedy Writer on that forum. Just read a few of those and you will definitely PYSL in no time.
Finally, if you are into blood, I highly recommend this.
Pokemon, Asylum of the Damned Style (http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=42018)
This was the first violent Pokemon Fanfiction I ever read, and I absolutely loved it! It takes the simple concept of a Pokemon Journey and brings the violence to the ultimate level. You will be on the edge of your seat with this story. I sure was.
Those are my recommendations. Remember, the best isn't on Fanfiction.net, it's on Serebii Forums. Where good writing is taken seriously.
Do you like dark PokÈmon fics or no?
In many cases, yes. I will share with you one of my favorites that I still remember to this day. It is so popular, that it's way of writing is considered the norm for writing a Dark Fic. It was the first Pokemon Dark Fic, and to me, it was the best.
Pokemon Master (http://members.iinet.net.au/~aceywacey/pokemon.htm)
Warning: The fanfiction is so violent, that it was banned from Fanfiction.net. It is not for the faint of heart.
And this: Have you read Latias' Journey?
Plot of Latias' Journey: When the Ghost King destroys Latias's home city of Alto Mare and kills all of her friends after she spurns his advances, she is forced to embark on a long journey that takes her across the Pokemon world.

Oh and the fic is EXTREMELY violent and has some sexual content.
Nope, haven't read that one. I'm going to have to check it out. :)
And thank you for FINALLY posting me a new question. I was wondering if anyone would ever give me another one. Thank you for revitalizing this topic. :)
-
Nope, haven't read that one. I'm going to have to check it out. :)
Trust me, if you like dark fics, you will love Latias' Journey.
By the way, Pokemon Master is not banned on FF.net.
And trust me on it when I say Latias' Journey is violent.
Also, what is your favorite music from the PokÈmon games?

By the way, Pokemon Master is not banned on FF.net.
Shh! People aren't supposed to know that!
Also, what is your favorite music from the PokÈmon games?
Ooohh! Tough one! The battle music has always been good. Aside from that, there's hardly one I don't enjoy. To be honest, it's just TOO hard to choose for me. :)

Hey John, it has been a very long time since I have seen you on MSN. Do you still use MSN sometimes?
Ah dang! I kind of forgot about this topic! Sorry for not answering this earlier!
Anyways, the truth is that I've given up MSN, mainly because I never use it. I do have an account, but the truth is that I've abandoned it.
To be honest, I haven't been on there in MONTHS! I'm not even sure why I left in the first place. In fact, I don't even have it on my computer because of the fact that I don't use it anymore.
Will I ever get back on? Truth is, I'm not sure if I ever will. We'll just have to see.
So yeah, I do have an account, but I don't use it anymore. Sorry! :(

With version Black & White coming out in Japan, I'm ready for more, guys! Bring on the questions! :)
-
Here's one that's baffled me for a long time. In the anime, there is an episode involving Porygon (excuse the spelling if I messed it up), that was banned because of the flashing lights as well as the use of guns. Why couldn't the producers of this episode put a warning in the beginning that the episode contained such content? I don't really think banning it was necessary.
-
Do you liek Mudkipz?

Why couldn't the producers of this episode put a warning in the beginning that the episode contained such content? I don't really think banning it was necessary.
I only know all of the info given by Serebii.net, but to me, it actually makes a lot of sense. You see, the flash during the episode hospitalized multiple children when it aired in Japan, and that's one of the last things you want for an episode to have. According to the information, the episode put the show on a four-month hiatus and nearly ruined the franchise for good. In the end, to ensure the same incident would never happen again, they had to ban the episode. It was just the right thing to do in the end.
Do you liek Mudkipz?
I do like Mudkip. If anyone says that it looks ugly, I have half a mind to slap them.
-
I understand why they had to ban the episode, but at the same time I don't get why a warning couldn't have been put in the beginning of the episode, alerting people that such use of flashing lights was in the episode.
-
I understand why they had to ban the episode, but at the same time I don't get why a warning couldn't have been put in the beginning of the episode, alerting people that such use of flashing lights was in the episode.
I guess they just didn't think there would be any problems of it when they completed it. Which might explain why there's no warning in the first place.
Then again, the rules of censoring are totally different in Japan from what they are in America. Sometimes, I can't believe what kids are allowed to watch in Japan.
-
Is it just me or are Pokemon getting uglier? The evolved form of the three starter Pokemon (torchic, treko, and mudkip) are absolutely hideous. The worst is torchic's final evolved form. It looks like a big flaming chicken person. :x :rolleyes:
-
I wouldn't say they are getting uglier, and to be quite honest I think Blaziken looks awesome. I think the producers are just starting to run out of animals to base pokemon off of. When you think about it, look at the first generation of starters. One thing I've noticed is that the Water pokemon have gotten progressively cuter and cuter. Squirtle will always remain to be my favorite, but look at Puplip. I'm sorry, but that does not scream awesome starter.

Is it just me or are Pokemon getting uglier? The evolved form of the three starter Pokemon (torchic, treko, and mudkip) are absolutely hideous. The worst is torchic's final evolved form. It looks like a big flaming chicken person. :x :rolleyes:
Well, there's only so many good looking forms you can come up with without making it look like a total rip-off of some other franchise. So I'm not surprised that they started to look ugly by the third generation.
However, if you think those are bad, take a look at the upcoming ones for the fifth generation in the link below.

I think the artists gave up TRYING long ago. -_-

Ok, I can't take that list seriously at all. There's maybe four or five in there that look cool. Otherwise, this isn't looking too good in terms of uniqueness and variety.

^^^Ugh! Seriously?! I thought Megnetite and Magneton were bad, but "Gear?" That's just frickin' dumb. Why do they have to have even MORE of them? Aren't there like 500? I agree that 151 wasn't enough to keep it interesting, but 500 is certainly plenty. There are enough ugly ones in the ~500. I can honestly say that only 2-3 of the PK on the list above were even acceptable. None were actually good.

I'm not very happy about the list either. There's only a few of them that peak my interest. One of which I have my eyes set on, I bet I'll have to use a cheat device to get, but otherwise, there's not much here.
As big of a fan as I am, I am actually considering NOT buying Black & White when it comes out. Shocker, I know! :)

You know, I've been thinking about these new ones, and I would not be surprised if a number of the "bad" ones actually increase in popularity when they make their Anime debut. The reason I say this is because it has happened before. The Anime tends to have a completely different art style than that of the games.
One such incident was with the pokemon Mawile.

When this pokemon first appeared in the games, it just looked hideous. You seriously could not love it. Basically, it all had to do with a bad angle that did not show off the beauty of the pokemon. The popularity for this pokemon did not look good. That is, until it's big debut in the Anime.

If you ask me, they did an excellent job bringing out Mawile's true beauty. From there, the popularity of Mawile just skyrocketed. There seems to be an endless number of fanarts of Mawile out there today. (Turn Safe Search On if you're going to look. This pokemon has a good amount of porn.) You can even find well crafted flash video of it. There's even a good amount of webcomics with it now.
Oh, and one last thing, Mawile is often portrayed as a "she" by fans. Considering the look, not surprising.
There are indeed other pokemon that owe their popularity to the Anime, where the games nearly killed them. I wouldn't be surprised if the Anime can do the same for some of the newer pokmeon. :)

Okay, the list has been updated and a new number has been established.
There are now 644 Pokemon total. I think you can stop now, Nintendo.
Other than that, I would not look at the designs of the starter evo's if I were you.
Also, one Pokemon looks like they are ripping off themselves design-wise. Try to guess which one I'm talking about.

This is just a BIG disappointment.
And this was meant to reboot the series. Designs aren't helping.

Is there something, what would you like to be featured in new Pokemon game, or idea for whole new game, which was never in any game, or just vaguely, and you would love it?
