So to get off this whole Gen deal since its really going in circles...

Today at my campus they had an event called Chalk the Walk. It was about 3 hours long and I was in class so I couldnt participate. They would give you a bucket of sidewalk chalk and a sidewalk square to draw whatever you wanted on it. The sidewalk was COVERED. I spent some time walking around looking at them all when I saw my favorite..

Right beside it someone had drawn..

I dunno. I kind of like the Musketeers. Genies... there was no reason for another trio. >.> I'm usually fond of the trios save for the Genies and the Golems. Not really fond of them.

Also, I like the ice cream Pokemon. If I ever get a craving, I can just send them out. =D

I just can't get past their designs :S but to each their own and all that.

You know if D-arts does anymore Pokemon figures after the Gen 1 starters come out I'd like a highly posable Eevee and it's Eeveelutions. Just start with the Gen 1 ones and move to the others. So Eevee first and then the others.

I also think they should of made the grass and ice ones evolve from items and not leveling near a rock..... Or at least make a rock in each game that does the same thing. Is there one in B&W or do you have to trade?

I'll admit it. I like the ice cream pokemon. And yeah, the leveling near a rock was a pain in the gyro. I like Keldeo. He's my rainbow pony. :D (Yes, I'm old. Yes, I still like rainbow ponies. DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT). I still adore Skitty.

I dunno, I'm with Cow. Not a huge fan of the Musketeers. The biggest offender to me is Cobalion. Legs just don't work like that. I'm sorry. They don't. They look twisted on and backwards and it really ruins the pokemon for me. If I had to choose among them, I don't really mind Virizion. But long story short, just not a fan of the Musketeers. Their designs are kind of weird.

As for gen hate, eh. I understand having a preference. S'cool. It's when people start bashing other gens that I roll my eyes and call them stupid. I don't care if you hate the new gen or think it's uncreative or whatever. Again, no one is forcing you to play it. And besides, it's understandable to not like it, that's alright. It's cool to like the first gen. Just don't call people who like the new gens stupid or silly or whatever condescending nickname you can come with. /shrugs

The genies though. Agh, certainly not my favorite and I dislike them far more than I dislike the Legendaries. I'll admit it, of the new batch, Reshiram/Zekrom are my favorites. (Though I'll certainly grow to love the fuck of Yvetal once I get my hands on it. Aw yis.)

I'm not entirely fond of the Musketeers, I love the two lesser genies (not Landorus), I love Reshiram and Zekrom but Kuyrem looks like a dragon on a long crack addiction (though to be expected considering he's the leftover shell from Reshiram and Zekrom's separation.

All in all though, I haven't been so crazy for legendaries since Gen 3. I do like Giratina Origine forme though, and Darkrai. Mespirit is also cute too. I still go back to my ruby and giggle at the graphics and trollop through the grass Zangoose spawns in (my first lvl 100 was a zangoose and I was/still am completely obsessed with them so its a special place for me XD). I miss my emerald so bad.... it was my second highlight of Gen 3's existence, running up the tower, racing across the ruined floors, seeing Rayquaza stare at me with all his snakey awesome glory. /floats away in her nostalgia

Long crack addiction! If that is so, then why did he sound so perfect in Granny Kuyrem mode?



And honestly, I'm gettin' rather sick of hearing y'all fuss. They're made up creatures in a fantasy world, let's just leave it at that! For cryin' out loud people, you have your opinion, others have theirs! No need to get in a tissy fit cause y'all got different opinions! Seriously, people, it' getting old and annoying to hear y'all fuss over which pokemon ye like and which on ye don't like.

To be quite honest nobody is in a tissy or being overly hostile. If you don't want to participate in the discussion then don't... It's a Pokemon thread it's for discussing Pokemon whether they be the ones you like or don't like. /shrug

Just opinion sharing for now, no worries Star, nobody seems fiery or upset. Everyone's just taking the time to present their own opinions when they can. It's fun to do sometimes. Though thank you for the notice, t'is always good to remember. :-)

I'm a pretty big fan of Virizion myself, think it's a very pretty design and I love the eyes. Cobalion I'm still unsure what I think of; its feet make me very unhappy, but it was the titan of my team for a while and I have a healthy respect for it because of it. Not really in love with the other two, but hey, glad other people like 'em.

I'll be the odd one out and say I rather like the genies, hehe. Not as much in their original forms, though I kind of like how their faces work. I adore Thundurus' Therian form, for example, and Landorus doesn't look too shabby either. ...I think it's mostly the mustache fangs. Those are stylish.

As for favorite legends... Well, I didn't really *love* any of them until Yveltal. Now I'm pretty much sold forever.

The first pokemon that comes to my mind that I really dislike is Bidoof...Its the eyes. Just...ehhh. For every generation there are pokemon I like/don't like. If I don't like them, I don't use them. I've never understood hating an entire generation, nor the mindset that gen 1 is the only "true gen" but people will be passionate about things they feel strongly for.
I can't say I've ever felt a desire to use the Djinn pokemon, at least not until I got their Therian forms. Which I Love every much, they are perma-members of my B2 game. The musketeers are nice, I don't dislike them, but I feel no real strong urge to dislike them. Cobalion is my least fav, but I prefer more stream-lined (graceful-like) pokemon over bulky ones. I am sure if I used him more I'd like him more, but there are pokemon I prefer over him.
I am pretty sure this newest generation will have pokemon I would like, but I am pretty sure its going to have some pokemon that I am just going to drool over. Heck, Xerneas already has my heart racing. I absolutely LOVE stags, and the rack on that one, the colors, the awesome tail, everything about it I love. On the other Hand, I look at Yvetal and scrunch my nose at it, trying to figure out what the heck it is. It has 3 hand things...tiny legs, reminds me of something skinned...head looks interesting, but the vulture ruff around its neck just reminds me of a scavenger bird. Yet some people really love it. To each their own. The creators can't please all people with all things, but they do strive for a big selection to pick from.

You know what would make a awesome legendary? Bigfoot. Don't make it easy to get too make him one of those roaming ones that would suit him. Make him normal fighting or something and then make a ice version of it based on the Yeti and another one based on the Yowie (Aussie bigfoot if you did not know)

I'd dig that.

On a completely different topic, I restarted my Heartgold. I'd like team advice! Current plan:

Typhlosion
Alakazam (ffff trading)
Scizor (ffff metal coat AND trading)
Nidoking
Lanturn (ffff FISHING)
Pidgeot

I desperately wanted a Gliscor, but the Razor Fang can only be obtained after Elite 4 so that's not happening. The trading part will be annoying, as will the fishing, and the metal coat obtaining, but oh well.

Do you need someone to trade with? (and/or provide you with a razor fang?)


edit: Also had 3 random battles today. 2 wins, 1 loss. First win was a really easy 3v3 battle, my dragons outclassed my opponent. 2nd battle was close, but my opponent did some masterful volt switch/U-turn combo's that left me chasing shadows and wore me out. 3rd fight was slightly tricky but after taking out their speedy outrage flygon (my team is all dragon type combos), the rest fell easily, along with some really lucky scores on freezing my opponent's Ferrothorn and I got TWO consecutive hit survives with focus Band! I love my Kingdra/focus Band combo so much!! Not to mention people keep thinking Kingdra=water, thus they use grass/electric moves, which are not super effective since its only weak to dragons XD

And if someone can provide me with a Razor Fang, hacked or not, I'd just about die of happy. I really, really like Gliscor.
