How about instead of saying generation, we just agree to categorize games by national dex and say "dex 1" and so on? The endless screaming matches between people who can't agree on a definition of "generation" are getting tiring.
That way, if s/m are set in kalos with no new region and can trade and battle freely with XY/ORAS but have a new pokedex, we could categorize it as a gen 6 game with a 7th dex.
Changing the name does not change the meaning.
If Gen 1 means 151 and Dex 1 means 151 then what's the fucking point?

What about Unova2?
i haven't played a new pokemon game since pearl so i was thinking this new gen was a good new starting spot should i play or should i stay off the ride
>>25825622
Stay away from the cancerous piece of shit Y/X and AS/OR are, they are fucking garbage that only autistic fucks and 3 yolds like.Unless you want to get used to the retarde mechanics of X/Y for Sum/Moon, don't play this "game".
Just stick to platinum instead.
gen6 is extremely accessible, you can catch everything between the two games.
Oras has some QOL improvements (except graphics, which is very evident in cutscenes), XY has a better region and trainer customization.
Mostly people are bitter because XY has no postgame (being the first in its gen), and ORAS is equally lacking compared to the extras that the past remakes got.
Sunmoon is also a 3ds title so you might want to just skip to that, it's out in less than a year anyway.
OP here i'd like too add that i havent actually beaten a version since silver after that all i cared aboot was the beauty contests
>Buy Pokémon Moon
>insert it to 3DS

>>25825557
To be honest, this doesn't looks like a terribly bad fakemon.
A user has posted this pic on 4chan 10 minutes ago but he has removed it after 5 seconds, why?
Because it's fake

>>25824228
no dude i swear he was inpokemon green
That's just some dude's shiny raichu.
I know, it was weird the first time I saw a shiny, too.
What is with the meme that Bulbasaur's line are based on frogs? Not all Gen I Pokemon are clearly, directly based on things. Take Koffing for example, wtf is it supposed to be? Is it made out of rock? Is it supposed to be nival mine or something? It's much more loose compared to Pokemon in later gen, but it's general concept is that it's based on gas and air pollution- not a specific object or animal. After all, at this time Pokemon were still literal monsters with magic powers, and I think Venusaur is perfect representation of that. I think Venusaur isn't a frog or a dinosaur, it's just a bulky monster with a flower on its back.
But if you still think it's based off a frog lets take a look
Frog/Toad-Like Traits
>it's crouched like stance reminds one of a frog
>it's warty
>it's vaguely reptilian-ish
>wide mouth
Non-Frog/Toad traits
>it's got mammalian ears
>it has visible, fang-like teeth
>it has claws, which contrasts to all fully evolved frog Pokemon that have fingers.
>doesn't appear to go through any metaphorosis unlike every other frog Pokemon to exist, including poliwag's line. If it was a toad, it's starts off a toad and stays a toad
>Bulbasaur's name in Japanese name is fushigidane; meaning "isn't it strange?" which may add to the fact it's a generic monster and not a natural creature like an animal-based Pokemon
It's quite possible GF took some inspirations from frogs and toads, but in the end Bulbasaur's line are not frogs. Many Gen I Pokemon often had a concept behind them and their design went around that; in the case of Bulbasaur's line, the concept surrounding it was the flower on their backs- not what animal it was.
>>25824076
cool story breh
>>25824076
>meme
Everything about your post is valid except this. Can we stop calling everything a "meme"? A commonly held opinion, however wrong it may be, is not a meme.
A lot of the appeal of starters is the simple elemental animal design that lets kids pretend they have a pet [lizard/turtle/penguin/etc.], so Bulbasaur and Chikorita tend to bother some people for not being obvious animals. I think Gamefreak wanted the animal aspect to be vague in order to focus on the plant aspect, but since Grass was the least popular starter 2 gens in a row they started making Grass starters conform to the "obvious animal" rule.
So I started a red playthrough because I got the New 3DS special ed., and I went and chose Charmander and I forgot that there is no pokemon in between Pallet Town and Pewter City that are good against Brock, so any suggestions?
>picking shitmander
>there is no pokemon in between Pallet Town and Pewter City that are good against Brock
Nidoran
Mankey
Butterfree
Any of those will do.
Restart and choose either Bulbasaur or Squirtle.
I found these "leaked Pokemon" yesterday on a thread here that was apparently found on 2ch (or another Japanese site) that is originally from the studio that makes the Pokemon anime
ITT: we give these Pokemon names and/or types
they're obviously fake but I thought this could be fun hahaif you want to, post fake leaks you find and give them names and/or types. knock yourself out
