Two things they missed. 1. No lion pokemon. 2. no platypus.

really, they spent a year to make Chimchar?
turtwig is just grass squirtle, but I could think of anything better than Chimchar in a day.

Nintendo would be missing the gravy train if they don't remake G/S/C. Think of all the diehard fanboys you be letting down, Ninty!

I personally think Diamond and Pearl are inferior to the superb 2nd and third Generations. Slowing down the game messed up the whole thing for me. Quick Attack should be a quick attack, not "oh, I guess I'll hit you now" attack.

Man, D/P are probably the best ones so far. I think the only "problem" in the series is that you can't get other regions starters, except for Fr/Lg. I hope pokemon never dies. I'm glad there won't be any core games for consoles. anyway... I think it's kinda funny how they said the whole "if you can't expand on a pokemon, it gets rejected" thing, but there are still pokemon like Girafarig and Lapras that can't evolve. Then again, that's what Gen. 5 Is for!

I think Pokemon was my first game on the old black snd white gameboy. Such a great game, kept playing it for years.

@Clucky: Psyduck is based off a platypus.

also @ Clucky: Manetric is a lion based pokemon.

I personally never got the appeal of leccy poke's, too easily knocked out and could easily be neutered by a rock/ground pokemon, which are fairly common.
Oh and Machamp FTW, Closely followed by Graveller
don't like Golem tbh
too much hype for a 3rd level pokemon and it wasnt that much better than Graveller
Then Gyrados and Magmar

My 2 favourite poke's from newer generations are Shedinja and Walrien.
Shedinja for the obscurity and insane special ability
Walrien because it was my first ever shiney pokemon ^^
Caught at level 19 when it was just a Spheal, he's purple/pink (instead of blue) and level 98 now.
Nicknamed Sparkle.
Because im lame xD

The only shinies I've ever caught were low grade pidgeys and zubats, the lamest of the lame pokemon. Such space wasters, they are.

ok hold on.
before anymore people say "i love pokemon" or "pokemon forever"
i bet you cant even name all 400-something pokemon in the game.
i use to be in love with pokemon..but then it just kept growing and growing like a tumor.
I could name all 101 pokemon by heart but i just lost track.
QUIT MAKING MORE POKEMON ROSIE O'DONNEL'S VAG CANT HANDLE IT ANYMORE!!!
