Dude, I still play FireRed and Emerald on weekly basis. :P

I'll probably buy White (because the Legendary looks sick) and because I want to see how well the new generation works out. I hate the starters though.

[Aerowyn]

I am underwhelmed by the starter pokemon. None of them give me that, "Boy, I just picked a SERIOUSLY badass pokemon" feeling like 1st gen, or even Diamond/Pearl. Let's face it: Empoleon is an extremely intimidating-looking pokemon. Somehow a fire-pig or sea otter doesn't make me feel like a force to be reckoned with.

Since I chose Squirtle on Pokemon Blue, I'll probably take the sea otter pokemon on this game, depending on what the "gyms" are like. I think I only picked Squirtle because I knew I'd have to fight Brock and I would have a better chance if I chose a water type. Oh, I just don't know anymore.

Though, I am going to strategically consider which game I want to get based on the legendaries. That's so stupid, haha.

It's just that I use Jolteon as my electric type, and Rapidash as my fire type (and that will never change, since they are my favourite pokemon). Since the white legendary is Dragon/Fire, and the black is Dragon/Electric, I don't have a need for EITHER of them. But if I had to pick based on badassness alone, it would be the black legendary. But the white one is so much more graceful. I just don't think I can pick, haha. And new pokemon mean I get to re-think my pokemon party. OH, GOODIE. :P

Having over 500 pokemon is just going to make it frustrating for people like me who just can't make up their mind about anything. I guess I'll need a bunch of different parties.

I guess this means I need to get off my lazy butt and buy a DS... or will this be for the 3DS when it comes out? This also means a new Pokemon Stadium/Battle Revolution-type game will be out for Wii, which is exceedingly exciting. <3

sorry to disappoint he isnt a starter

its always water/fire/grass

I enjoyed Steel pokemon. "Gear" looks retarded and an insult to all Steel types.

Fuck you Gear my Steelix would plow you into another world.

[Aerowyn]

Fuck you Gear my Steelix would plow you into another world.

This. I'm tired of them supplementing the pokedex with WORTHLESS pokemon. Who in their right mind is going to have a level 100 Chimecho in their party? Or a Purrugly? Or a Wormadam? They're completely worthless.

Unless that gear pokemon turns into something completely and totally boss, fuck it. Steel pokemon should be large and in charge.

I'd rather have 50 new, completely and totally AWESOME pokemon than 200 shitty ones with a few gems mixed in. I personally think they need to eliminate the "bug" type pokemon, they suck. They currently suck, they have always sucked, and they will always suck. Poison sting only ever does like 2 damage no matter what level the pokemon is at. The end.

[Lateksi]

New pokemans look like toy plushies, unlike the first gen ones which mostly resembled real animals. What comes to the stupidness of them, I hope it's like Magicarp -> Gyarados.

What's that? I couldn't hear you over the sounds of my 151 first-gen BADASSES.

First-gen is the only gen, kthx.

What's this? You think I don't play first-gen Pokemon? I'll have you know I bought my Gameboy Colour and Pokemon Blue at the same time, and I have all 151 as well. So you can suck on my e-penis. :P And then my Mewtwo's when you're done.
