    I'm just upset that we're getting fire/fighting. Again.

    I don't mind one type starters, but after Empoleon, I kinda wanted something to match/exceed it's awesome typing. Ah well. Looks great either way.

    They only implied that all of the Pokemon found in the Isshu Region are entirely new.
    It's probably using a system similar to Diamond and Pearl, where new evolutions are found after getting the National Dex.

    Agreed, both about what BonBon is saying and what Ice says. I don't want another Fire/Fighting. Some alternative would be nice.

    We've gone two gens without a natural Water starter. I think it's nice to have my little mystic sea lion thingy.

    The water Pokemon starter looks the best IMO, including evos.

    I'm definitely picking the Water one. I picked the water one last time too (Empoleon4ever), but this one just looks so ... right.

    That snake one is intriguing, but not nearly as awesome. Can't believe it was inspired by western culture ... what's western about a mythical snake monster?

    I know that not very much has been revealed thus far, but is anyone else extremely disappointed with the Pokemon so far? I don't mind the design of some of them, but damn, more normal Pokemon? Another Fire/Fight starter? A shit load of legendarys again, plus a bunch of gimmick weather Pokemon that will end up sucking. I hope the list gets better.

    I like the idea of Steel-Ground, plus that one Dragon Pokemon looks pretty awesome too.

    I'm actually quite the opposite - other than the fire/fighting pokemon (and the fucking electric flying squirrel), I'm quite pleased. I'm really digging the whole "Ice/Dragon" combo, and I like that there isn't 40 psychic legendaries this time around.

    I also love the afro bull. Shit is so fucking sick. I'm going to have like, 3 of them on my team.

    There are some Pokemon in this gen that seem like they should go with past gens.

    The bull is noted for Tauros.

    What do you mean by that? Like they should have been in prior gens?

    As much as I like the afro bull, the fro and the bling on it's horns keep dragging me back to a certain stereotype.

    I'm the opposite as well. While I'm not too crazy about Fire/Fighting again (I wasn't going to get the Fire starter anyway), I really really like the designs and concepts of most of these Pokemon.

    And LK, remember that in this scan it's showing a lot of the basic, boring, route 1/generic cave Pokemon, and the triple battle sponser monkeys (which I actually love, but I get what you mean). Not to mention only basic, unevolved forms of these.

    You're forgetting about the ones already revealed, like the gothic girl, the green ghost blob, the coffin, the war eagle, and several others. Plus there's 156 new Pokemon this gen; we've only made a dent so far. But you knew that I guess.

    Ooh, and great news for your complaints of more normal types. In the last news story, it was revealed from a leak that there's 7 new Ice Pokemon and 7 new Poison ones (usuallys there's only a couple of those). Also, from what's been revealed thus far and the info leaked, there's more Ghosts than usual (usual being about 3). It would seem that neglected types are getting more attention this gen.

    Ohh, never knew that Toge, pretty good info there. I'm getting more and more excited for this game every day.
