O wow... the designs are fail, we already have a crocodile/alligator pokemon.
To much reused. I also see digimon there.
can this please be the last gen?
Oh you people. EVERY generation all of you say the same thing.
"They don't look like Pokemon!"
"They look like Digimon!"
"OMG THEY'RE SO UGLY."
That Chinchilla looks like it's a Pokemon. o_O
Looking back on all the other old Pokemon... how does Unown look like a Pokemon? How does Kecleon look like a Pokemon?
It's 'cause we've gotten used to them. So you'll get used to these.
Times are different. Gosh, I wouldn't want them to make the same classic, old Pokemon over and over again. Sure, I love Bulbasaur, but I don't want all my Grass starters to remind me of him! I want someone different. Same for the newer Dragons, same for the newer Legendaries.
Steel-type Robot Pokemon? SURE, WHY NOT? As long as you make the game fun and exciting. Even if it gets boring and repetitive after you beat the Elite Four and etc, but doesn't that happen to every Pokemon game?
I wanna catch different monsters, not the same old ones over and over again.
This is why I appreciate the different-looking Pokemon, even if they looks so modern/crazy. But hey, there's always those down-to-earth critters that do "look" like Pokemon. "Look" because the creator decides what is a Pokemon or not.
If it has a Pokedex # and it's in a Pokemon game, it's a darn Pokemon. Get over it.
Whine, whine, whine.
It's not running out of creativity. They ARE coming up with more Pokemon games, yeah? Shut up and appreciate it then. You know you're gonna buy it anyway.
Pokemon is the second-best selling franchise of Nintendo. First one is Mario.
It will therefore go on for a very long time.
Venusaur resembles the mammal-like reptile from the Triassic Period, Kannemeyeria, as well as toads, as do its pre-evolutions Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. The flowering plant's origin is unknown but it appears to be a palm tree. The flower itself resembles the parasitic Rafflesia.
Torterra has aspects of a snapping turtle and an ankylosaurus, a species of armored dinosaur. It may also be based upon the world turtles in various mythologies that carry worlds upon their backs, or perhaps the Xuanwu/Genbu of various Asian myths. It also may be based on the minogame.
I hate the alligator to tell you the truth. It looks plain silly.
I hope it evolves into something meaner-looking.
