The next generation of Pokémon is finally here! All-new 3D graphics, new monsters, new evolutions, new online social features, and a brand-new adventure is all packed nicely and tightly in the latest entry in the mega-hit franchise. And what do you know, the critics seem to love it, too!

So, who all will be joining me in this latest (and apparently greatest) journey into the world of Pokémon? Will you be the very best? Like no one ever was?

Why not sign up for a (free) account?
   
 
Is it just me, or is kind of odd that the creatures all have animal-like cries/barks/yells/chirps/etc....except Pikachu?

I thought it'd be off-putting, but for some odd reason, I don't mind it.

@ploot

C'mon, the Pokémon games have memorable one liners all the time! Who can forget "I like shorts! They're comfortable and easy to wear!"

Classic.

How naive of me to think I would have time to play this game.

"Go my super bug Pokemon" has always stuck with me since I first played Blue. I don't know why, but I gave it a jingle at the time and I always catch myself saying it randomly.

I think some of Pokemon's lines are "accidentally quirky," at least, that's how they come across. By most measures, they seem to be straight-up translations with very little flavor added, and this can occasionally result in a line that feels unintentionally droll. It's good for a chuckle but I wouldn't call them very witty at all. I mean, this is a series that has a major element of the battle system coined as "super effective." Pretty cornball!

I'm about to crack open my copy... quite psyched!

@GameDadGrant I liked how there was a character in Gold/Silver named "Firebreather Dick."

I have been planning to go with Fennekin since they all were revealed... but I at the last moment chose Chespin for my starter.

I had bought a pack of Pokemon figurines from Toysrus on Sunday and for some reason the cute little hedgehog Chespin and the weirdo Wobbuffet caught my attention more than Fennekin and Meowth. Now I can't stop thinking he's my favorite. Funny how that happened.

I made a big mistake picking Chespin.

My team for most of the game has been Chespin, Squirtle, Torchic, Ralts, Pancham, Honedge, and their evolved forms. When looking at what I knew about their final forms, the team seemed pretty balanced in terms of types. Yeah, I had two fighting types, but I could manage since they weren't solely fighting type pokemon. It wasn't ideal, but it worked.

Well, Chespin just became its final form which, unbeknownst to me, is part fighting. So now I have 3 pokemon that are part fighting type. Half of my team will drop from a single decent flying type attack.

@Hero_Of_Hyrule

That's sad to hear. Though I knew Chespin was part fighting before going into this, so I'll have to just avoid other fighters in the future. Maybe you can trade him for something else?

Also, what did everyone use as their nickname? I have all my new friends calling me Homeslice now. It's pretty funny.
10/16/13, 04:49   Edit:  10/16/13, 04:57
I made my nickname the same as my regular name, so my friends call me the same thing as everybody else.
10/16/13, 05:03
@Hero_Of_Hyrule

I thought about that, but I didn't realize this would be a very prominent thing... apparently it is. It makes me laugh though so I'm content with the situation.

Just Chespin and Homeslice, two bros, brought together by destiny.

@Mop it up
Eep. I hope Nintendo irons this out.

@DrFinkelstein
My name is my name, and my nickname is Plooty. I couldn't really think of anything!
10/16/13, 05:09
@DrFinkelstein

I should've made my nickname Ricky Bicycle.

@Hero_Of_Hyrule

Absolutely you should have! Nickname two pokemon that so you can at least see it in your roster.

And hey, who agrees that this game should have allowed photos like Animal Crossing? Holding L and R for random photo ops? Most if not all games should have that functionality in there somewhere, button-allowance pending of course.
10/16/13, 05:32
Anybody else feels bad using the DLC Torchic? He grows too quickly, and is OP at the first gym.
10/16/13, 05:56
So how come the Pokemon don't actually make contact with each other during battles? Do you think that would push it to a T rating, and obviously Nintendo does not want that for Pokemon?

Champion defeated! I really enjoyed this and I can say with certainty that it is tied for 3rd with Gen 4 as my favorite Gen so far.

A true scientific advancement.


(you could say it was a great...feat?)
