pokemon as a whole.

the entire global culture is based around sending a pre-teen out into the world with only a bag of and what surmounts to a glorified guard dog.

these children, barely outside the womb, are hurled into a violent world where wild animals fearlessly assault you and other people, from children to adult, will attempt to jump you and mug you using their trained animals so they can steal what little pocket money. after having this happen enough, your protagonist becomes hardened to the world at large an becomes another cog in the violent cycle.

after having your "pet" viciously maul enough animals it will suddenly undergo a physical change into another creature in a time frame of seconds. these supposedly natural changes can be stopped either manually or unnaturally via the application of special materials. heck, some of these creatures have such unstable bodies that simply applying enough minerals to them can force a change. it also seems that a few are susceptible to changes in a horror-movie scenario reminiscient of "the fly" where teleportation+foreign object = WTF?

you then require this child to go around the world unsupervised with a horde of these animals in tow willingly participating in what amounts to a regulated dog fight.

and this doesn't even go into detail about the performance enhancing drugs you can legally buy, or forcefully inbreeding them to gain particular qualities or traits, effectively creating a cute and cuddly ubermench. the fact that you can also bend the creature's mind and forcefully unlearn abilities and make it learn others it cannot naturally add to just how wrong the world of pokemon.

you know, i think "black and white" is the first appropriately name for the series as it accurately describes the contrast between the outside appearance and the true nature of the game.

also: yeah, that bag is one big WTF. i just assume it's the final evolution of the bag of holding (to use D&D terms). i mean, mine contains a few thousand pokeballs, several thousand yen, gord knows how many hundreds of pounds of fruit (which always stays fresh?), a bike, many many fist sized rocks, fossils and ceramic/metallic plates, about as many DVDs then my own personal collection, etc...

it's effectively Felix the Cat's magic bag, only transposed in another world & mass-manufactured.

one other thing: why is the protagonist always the one to save the world/country from the evil organization? i mean, "oh noes! team rocket and their level 20 army!"

the only time i've seen this done otherwise is when Lance decided to roll the base with his dragonite and just happened to bump into the player and asked if he/she wanted to come along to shorten the time needed. there are a LOT of high level trainers even outside of gym leaders & the elite four/champion. get them to save your world... it's not hard to get a pokemon past level 20!



Then, we go to team tocket/magma/aqua/whatever: So most of them try to rule the world sending grunts that have mostly... dogs (poochyena), blind bats (all of them have at least one) and freaking rats.

Also, something that I always wondered: when you see Pokemons' descriptions, most of them talk about how they hunt or run from enemies... can you imagine a bunch of Weaviles pursuiting and beating to death a Bonsly, for example?

But what I think is the worst thing there is when you breed for the best IV's. If you are an advanced player, you know how it is. You have to breed several times, and then get the ones who have the best IV's and breed them again, to get even better IV's. But man, let's think about it. So you make a couple to 'breed' until they have a strong child. All of the others newborn, defenseless babies are sent to the wild to be hunted by, let's say, Gliscors. THEN, you get the baby, and make it breed with its MOM!!! If that's not enough, when they have a child that's strong enough, sometimes you get that other baby and you make it f****ing breed with its grandma/grandpa, or even older parents!

Just... think about it.

I think this is a little too much detail to go into the flaws of a game. You coulda just said, "I don't like it" or "There's some problems" and this all would've been summed up in one short sentence.

OMG. When I read that I was like everything he said was true. No wonder Team Plasma wants to free all pokemon we are slave traders!

Tbh, at first i though the 4th & 5th gen Pokemon had plastic surgery, but after a while i got use to them. I love Pokemon and no matter what the Pokemon's look like i'll always get use to them, and of course i can see that Nintendo is running out of ideas for new Pokemon, Just look at the new Pokemon 'Gear' (Magnemite rip off much?) even though they're running out of ideas, they will still have original Pokemon.

Pokemon will always be FTW!

when i firstt saw 4th and 5th gen i was like wth??? arceus created the worlds?? all new legendarys making new things?? what happened to mew??

pokemon will rule no matter what

lets see you make a better pokemon

oh come on! i didnt say i hated them! it was just 5-7 of them i didnt like! rest of them was awsome! but if you wanna see me make a pokemon by my own here goes! dosent say its better

Zonieon
Steel type
Evolution of Eevee



Fungeon
Bug type
Evolution of Eevee

The 3rd gen were all new pokemon aswell (except for oddish and magikarp) so this is just a new revolution. Expect that if 6th gen (doubt it) comes out, some 5th gen pokemon are in it, or else its all created.
