I'm really hoping we get some cool Fossils this generation. They are always the highlight of the game for me.

Indeed. Bastiodon and Rampardos are letdown central.

[vaporchu]

Rampardos had the ability to be cool...but he went and had to have bad stats. A glass cannon that is slow?

[Stuckey]

I almost had Rampardos working in a Sandstorm team. I should monkey with that some more.

[Legionmaster]

But he's ugly as shit. All the other fossil Pokemon are cool, except the 2 recent ones.

[Stuckey]

He's just a little derpy looking. That's all.
Kabutops and Cradily are some of the best Pokemon though. Not sure why they aren't OU. Hell, I use Kabutops in Ubers and he rapes.

Kabutops does see use in OU. And Ubers. And UU. And I've had success with Cradily in OU. Both are awesome. Armaldo is pretty sweet too. Omastar is still cool. Aerodactyl is coolish. Stupid DP fossils? Lameeeeesauce.

[Stuckey]

I really hope they keep the name of Chillarmy for the English name for Chiramii.
And I hope they breed quickly.
So I can use this phrase, "The Chillarmy are reproducing at a chillarming rate."

So... I'm not entirely sure if I should post this in this thread, but I'm working on a Pokédex of my own, to go along with a fanfic I've got cooking upstairs. I've got ideas for the starters, and maybe the Pseudo-leegendary, but if you guys get any ideas you'd like to see realized (albeit in words, unless you want to take a shot at drawing them yourself), feel free to PM me. I'll take ideas for legendaries, but might not put them in, since I vaguely know what I want.

So... Thus far I have the grass-type starters:

#001- Wikeaf (From Kiwi, a small, flightless bird, and leaf)
Type- Grass
Ability- Overgrow
Height- 1'06" or .45m
Weight- 7.3 lbs. or 2.4kg
HP: 43 Att: 60 Def: 45 SpA: 50 SpD: 45 Spe: 75

A small green Pokémon with a small head and long, yellow beak. Its body is covered in grass with small, fuzzy leaves for wings. It has no visible ears and small brown eyes.

"It cannot fly because of its tiny wings, so it nests underground. It uses its keen sense of smell to hunt for prey underground."

Start- Scratch

13- Agility
16- Dig
20- Grass Knot

At level 16, Wikeaf evolves into...

Height- 3'03" or 1m
Weight- 44 lbs. or 20kg

A medium-sized Pokémon with palm leaves for wings, a long, slender neck, long brown legs, short beak, and large dark-brown eyes. Its body is still covered in grass.

"It propels itself in high-speed zig-zags by combining the force of its powerful legs and flapping one wing at a time. It is unable to run in a straight line."

Stupid DP fossils? Lameeeeesauce.

What's this now? I seem to do pretty well with my Bastiodon...

I LOVE BASTIODON!

Am I the only one that kinda finds Omastar to be a little worthless? I much prefer the other fossils to it.

NEW POKES AND NEWS

[Legionmaster]

The water Pokemon with the highest special attack outside of Ubers is a nifty title to have. Combined with Swift Swim, Omastar can turn into a crushing sweeper, or use its defenses for support, but it sweeps better.

And I'm hoping that new deer is a Stantler prevo. And that Stantler will also get an evo that is a moose.

[vaporchu]

Sorry, but I like my fossils to be a little less...awkward. It may be great for battling, but I honestly do not see any appeal in its design.

Anyways, the new trailer = Holy Shit. Were the routes actually changing seasons or were they apart of the version differences? Either way, these games are beautiful. I thought the Bell Chime Path in HG/SS was stunning...it seems like they are going to take that and make it the entire game.

The cutscenes look great. The 3D on the DS is kinda meh, but they seem to be making great use of it.

[Legionmaster]

ZOMG. Pokemon. Now. Has. Black people.

[vaporchu]

ZOMG. Pokemon. Now. Has. Black people.

A gym leader and some Football players!

That kid in the trailer was just so funny looking I had to put him as my avatar. Crap quality, but all I can find is that youtube video. Kinda sad, cause Filb.de usually has a high quality video up...

[Stuckey]

This new region definately is based on America now that I watched that trailer. Black people and football players? Sounds like America to me.

On another note, Anti-Lead 'Nite is so very happy that Salamence is no longer around.

[Mothra Freak]

ZOMG. Pokemon. Now. Has. Black people.

Sadly, that was the first thing I noticed, too.

[vaporchu]

As if Wargle didn't make it obvious enough already. Plus the Chinchilla's name is apparently Chilarmy when romanized.

God I can't think of the Football players without thinking of Super Mario World. I swear if they name one of them Chuck I'm gonna have a good laugh.

EDIT: Er, anyone here know if there's an R/S/E soundfont? The only way I could think of making a song using those instruments would be to actually hack the song into the game itself....which I'd rather not have to. I just want to see what some of the newer songs sound like with the R/S/E instruments.

(Also, this Lance Remix is pretty kickass. Makes me want to play Liquid Crystal.)

I hope they bring back the Surfing Pikachu minigame at some point. That one was awesome.
