One of the new mons, a normal type, looks like a Yorkshire Terrier.

SOLD.

<R2> I'm so excited for the new generation to come out.
<R2> Not because I want to play it, but because it obsoletes everything I know about the series.

Serebii supposedly has a list of all the new pokemon now, since the game is out in 17 hours.  I really really don't know how I feel about them.  I hope a lot of them are fake.  Also, some of the sprites shown seem FAR too detailed compared to others.  I dunno.  Whatever, I'll know tomorrow.

Yeah. A good deal of those don't look right. A some pretty obviously have parts of other pokemon in their sprites.
But oh well.

It seems like maybe they're legit.  This makes me sadder than when Gold and Silver came out.  I remember hating so many of those designs, but they weren't even a 100th as bad as some of the ones in these gen 5 sprites.  In case you want to see them, they're right here.  They are really disturbingly awful so beware.

I made it a point to list all the ones I hate, because it's the only thing that makes me less angry about them:
525, 526, 531, 534, 536, 538, 539, 560, 561, 564, 565, 568, 569 the most of all ever, 583, 584, 588, 589, 597, 598, 601, 615, 622-625 belong in like megaman or something, 638, 639, 648 is way too human, and 649 is a fucking robot and likewise belongs in another game.  Fuck you new pokemon.

An hour or so of trawling the internet would reveal the same thing being said about every concurrent generation of pokemon.

Anything new scares people. You'll end up buying the games and finding some adorable just as you did before.

Fuck you new pokemon.

You're still gonna buy both versions.

I hope the mushroom-pokeball (590, 591) is the new "monster in a box" pokemon to replace voltorb in this region.

Overall I think the designs are decent considering how few original ideas could possibly be left.

Just remember kids, pokemon has always had a very... broad definition of what constitutes a mon.

Porygon; Magenetite; Voltorb? Remember those robot guys?
This is not news.

The less said about Mr. Mime the better though.

I said some are tremendously awful, and I even listed which ones, and yet people still misconstrue my words as meaning that I hate them all.  Really cute.  And my point still stands--when like, a third of the new pokemon are terrible, that is not the same ratio as every other game.  Each gen had a FEW hit-or-miss pokemon.  Every gen had those.  None had as many as gen 5.  I'm not even going to argue it since it's all about what everyone likes, but that's how I feel and no one is going to convince me otherwise. 

You know how many I didn't like in gen I?  3--Jynx, Mr.Mime and I've never liked magmar.  I mean look at that fucker, he's weird.
Gen II?  Murkrow HOLY SHIT murkrow, steelix, croconaw, chikorita, aipom, sunkern, and slugma and magcargo.
Gen III?  Slaking and Loudred
Gen IV? Chimchar, Empoleon, Prinplup, and Kriketune
Gen V?  525, 526, 531, 534, 536, 538, 539, 560, 561, 564, 565, 568, 569, 583, 584, 588, 589, 597, 598, 601, 615, 622-625, 638, 639, 648, and 649

That's a fuckton more to hate when I write it out for everyone to see my own personal hate lists.  That's substantially more pokemon that I am completely unhappy to see.  Yeah, there are a bunch of cool ones too, but I don't like to think of how many grossly hideous designs were squandered on cool typings.

I'd like to note that there's OVER 150 new pokemon listed there.  Compare that to 100 in Gen 2, 135 in Gen 3, and 107 in Gen 4.  Even if there's 30 stinkers in there, that still makes more total decent pokemon than most other generations.

Also, now that the sprites are fully animated, I'd like to see them in action before really judging how bad they look.  I'm guessing that some of them will be a lot more appealing with motion.

Apparently Pokemon Black and White has the most hilarious anti-piracy measure since Earthbound.

In this case... No exp.
