The OFFICIAL Pokemon thread ver 2.5

The good or bad thing is that it only gets STAB Dragon… and there are only 2 non uber-Dragons with no secondary typing ,weird…

I like some combinations, like Fire-Psychic, Dark-Fighting, Grass-Steel, Ghost-Fire, and of course Ghost-Ground = no rapid spin for you and Stealth Rocks for me yay!

Also sandbox team looks strong
Tyranitar, Meguroko, Doryyuzu, Ghost-Ground Poke, Grass-Steel(for bulky waters), Mold Breaker Ononokusu yay!

Do you still have to use WEP for DS’ or have Nintendo finally allowed people to use decent wireless security?

Wouldn’t mind getting the new Pokemon game, but not if I have to mess with my wireless security.

Im so on the fence about Gen.5. Some of the pokemon look like straight ass while others look really cool. The Gym’s sound really awesome and unique though. The Gym’s were starting to become stale and formulaic; I’m glad they were switched up.

There’s no dark gym, but whatever. I want Buffalon on my team if I get the game. I’m going to nickname him Bushido :smiley:

Well, looks like the leaked final starter evos are legit, if the Japanese DS pics on 2ch are anything to go by.

Holy shit, that karate rock muppet looks awesome. Also not pictured there but I can’t believe how bad ass the crocodile’s evolution is. What pokemon crosses their arms in a fight?

Reminds me of Tauros in the Saint Seiya anime, so cool…

And that judomon looks lol, like gonzo of the mupphets

the electric horse reminds me of ixion from FFX

Pokabu final evo has a fire beard. Wow.

I mistaken it for an ice type at first :looney:

gastrodon protected itself!

Base Stats of New Pokemon - Smogon Community

Starter stats of just aweful D=

Wow at … Dragon 147 atk with Mold Breaker >.<

And the Dark/Dragon is the 600 BST legendary, not Ononokusu, there is another Altaria dragon BST also…

this pokes are going to replace a lot of the older ones, and i think Salamence will go back to OU to counter his cousin dragons XD

Full pokedex with good pics.

This Gen is super hit and miss but i can accept it because the Hits are really dope.

Wow I love gen 5 pokemon designs. So sick. Can’t wait for this game.

some stats are already going to put many old pkmn out of a job in OU (that mummy one is waving goodbye to dusknoir) that grass/steel is already now going to compete for a spot on my first B&W team.

There seems to be a lot of physical sweepers this gen too. That fire monkey has ridiculous attack. I definitely see him in OU

Things I’m liking so far:

Dageki
Monkey trio (decent stats!)
Warubiaru (decent speed + good attack + Earthquake Spiral = OU)
Denchura (if it has Sleep Powder)
Shanderaa (looks like a good scarfer)
Terakion (good defenses + good speed + good attack + good STABs if it has a good fighting move. typing isn’t too shabby either)
Zeburaika (if there is a good physical electric STAB now)

Hopefully, they will all have good movepools.

Dageki has Sturdy! Kickass!

Ground/Dark Croc is my favorite Pokemon to use this gen, no contest!

Balrog Bison has good stats! HURRAH!

Wargle has surprisingly decent stats as well!

Power Ranger Pokemon looks like it’s designed to murder people. It’s freaking Gyver.

Terakion has a cool stat spread!

Mechwarrior Bug is badass!!!

This game hasn’t been so fresh and exciting since Gold/Silver!!!:bgrin:

i do agree! i havent been exited for a pokemon game since gen 2, and there are a lot of great pokemon desing than bad ones, and the stats on most are just in the right place!

Shandaraa is awesome, my favorite so far with Ground/Dark Croc… goodbye Rotom!!

Lot of imagination with the Pokes this gen - great to see a bunch of new types. I can tell I’m going to like the new fossils and the hermit crab w/ giant slab of earth on its back. And that lamprey… a pure electric type with levitate? Can you say “no weakness”?

Also, Booger Bear is cute.

EDIT:

Double post. Let’s salvage it…

The pidgeon final evo (almost pheasant-like) has a cool gender difference:

starters suck. fire/fight pig will be NU

Ghost Chandelier, mold breaker dragon, dark/dragon (holy god it looks badass), steel/bug pokemon, that electric eel looking thing is awesome too…and sooo many others look great
