Pokémon 5th gen is GO
 

http://pokebeach.com/news/0210/pokemon-z.jpg

So here we have it, the silhouette of the first Pokeyman from the next generation. He will be fully revealed in the new Pokeyman movie, Pokéman Balls Z or something.

Looks like a Digimon!

Pokemon Balls Z?
 

.... Really, they couldn't come up with a better name so they snaged DBZ's?

Meh, whatever. Well I hope they go back to basics with gen 5. I'm getting kinda tired of seeing robot looking pokemon.

This new guy looks like he could be a grass/fighting type. Or maybe this is the game where they introduce beast-type.

*Is sad*

I just got Platinum! I am gonna get SoulSilver! I don't have time to start caring about this new generation, I'm only just now getting my fourth gen fix! Exclamation!

I am curious if it's gonna be for the DS, or some new-fangled system Nintendo will announce later on. If it's DS, I guess I'm good to go for once, since I already have one. If it's some new system, though... Well, maybe I'll get around to playing it before 6th gen hits :sweatdrop

Edit to Kyanbu: I'm totally expecting this to be a Lucario evolution. Lucario is already half-DBZ anyway, he just needs a long head of hair to be complete.

The movie's actual name is Ruler of Illusions Z. Tsk tsk, I was joking.

I totally knew that
 

Oh... yeah I knew that.

<_< >_>

I am TWO. fucking Pokemon away from finishing my goddamn pokedex. Then they pull this shit. ARGH. I was starting to get a social life again!

He looks kind like a Ninetails. Maybe a new evolution?

Well, it'll be fully shown in two weeks, but odds are it isn't an evo. The first movie that featured a 4th gen Pokemon did the same sort of thing, "Mew & the Wave Guiding Hero." A few weeks later we got a Lucario silhouette, then the whole thing, and his name was thrown into the title. Manaphy was the same as well. The new guy is the "Phantom Ruler."

Edit for clarification: Lucario is obviously an evo, but at the time it was a stand alone Pokemon, since it wasn't part of any current mon's line at the time. Phantom may be an evolved Pokemon, or it might be a Legendary, but it's probably not connected to any current Pokemon.

Am I the only one who looks at that and gets reminded of John Talbain from Darkstalkers?

I'm reminded of the Werehog. :(

A beard that sprouted legs and arms? AWESOME!

It's okay, it's gonna be allright, there are'nt any werehogs here to hurt you, you poor poor man, just weird, ugly-ass pokemon.
*hugs, rubs head*

I was totally expecting it to be Lucario's evo, but then I noticed it lacks spikes. So yeah.

...Wonder how many new ones will there be.

Most likely 100 to 130 new additions.

Ooold news, man.

Why aren't any of you bastards playing in the Pokemon League I set up?! RAWR!

But uh, yeah. 5th gen woo.

I don't have Pokemon DP/P (yet) so that's kinda why. Other wise I'd join in on the fun.

You know the funny thing is that back when I was in school, there was a guy running a BESM campaign set in 2010 (note that this was roughly ten years ago) and there was a kid who decided to roll up a Pokemon trainer character. Rickert actually mentioned there were "now" over 500 Pokemon. Given that there are already 493 of them (I don't know if this includes all Unown or not, but that's a different topic), I guess it turns out he was right. XD

Apparently on the show this was revealed it was mentioned that you will be surprised thinking "wow, this is Pokémon!?"

Obviously they sold out and now are doing Digimon.

Suspiciously, only one box...

GASP! That kid was from the future! O_O /jk

EDIT: To Tera. Yeah that is odd. Does this mean that Pokemon 5 will be just one game?

Pokemon sold out? oh shit! what will we do?!

Don't be silly. Then they couldn't whore the same game three times for money.

I am looking forward to finding out which HM I receive first this time around!

Probably something like defog, because the fog is apparently too dense to make it to the next town.

Alternatively they'll introduce something new and stupid like the HM jump, and put a ledge in your way, and you're going to have to teach a pokemon to jump. It's like teaching 'flying' pokemon how to fly. Sigh.

Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
 

Rudolph is a pokemon?

You couldn't have gone with Stantler in your title, Noncon?

I'm a failure as a Pokemon trainer. I'll never be the very best like no one ever was.
 

I... I didn't know there was such a thing.

It's okay Nonie old pal. You're blue. Like that one good version of Pokemon.

You mean Sapphire?

I think he actually means Blue, since Red/Blue/Green was the original generation. Then they added Yellow and shit got real.

So... Red wasn't good?

I want to say something mean about you young whippersnappers and your crappy, real life based Pokemans... but then I play Gen IV, and I'd be a huge hypocrite.

Red was actually better. But it was NonCon posting and not Synk.

Actually, the imbalance wasn't THAT bad. Besides, Blue had Caterpie as a common catch, which made it a LOT easier to beat Brock. Sure, you could technically get it in Red, but the find rate is so ridiculously low that a lot of people thought it just plain wasn't in there.

Personally, I preferred Blue.


Edit: This is taking note of the fact that when we got our Xmas presents of Red, Blue, Yellow, and Zelda: Link's Awakening, I got Zelda and Yellow. When borrowing Red or Blue, I found Blue to be the better of the inferior titles.

But... but Red... had Scyther... and Mankey... and Electabuzz...

Blue was my first, way back when...I still had the old grey Brick. I still got it somewhere...

I'll have to dig it out sometime.

Mankey is the only one I really miss of those, though. Sure, having a Scyther is pretty cool, but IIRC, it was in the Safari Zone, so good luck not spending days on end trying to catch it. Or if it was in the casino like in Yellow, prepare to face the slot machines. Great to have, but not absolutely necessary when there are other good mons that take less effort. Also, Pinsir has most of the same moves, anyway.

Electabuzz is actually pretty sucky. Very few moves and the only two worth a damn are Thunderpunch and Thunder, and the way Thunderpunch misses, well...


Edit: I take that back. Another one from Red I would have preferred was Growlithe, if only because I like its look better than Vulpix's. I really don't remember how their moves or power levels compared, though.

Edit Edit: Vulpix is apparently better in that it has Fire Spin.

Ohhh yeah. Those kind of moves were SO abusable back then....I remember just continually wrapping up Lance's dragons....and they couldn't do anything.

To this day, I am convinced that wrap and Sand attack are the malicious machinations of Satan himself.

Unless I use them, then they are an unholy gift from Satan.

Either way, they're pure evil.

I don't think people are gonna have the brain capacity to enjoy Pokemon in after about 10 years, they'll have to make it a required course in school just so people will get the basic understanding of it.

And then we'll be in our rocking chairs, talking about the days when there were less than 1000 Pokemon and less than 40 types. We'll wonder if the next generation even remembers Pikachu anymore. Game Freak will be bigger than Microsoft by then and genetic engineering will result in actual Pokemon being created (PETA is already crazy enough as it is, think about what happens when you introduce 1000+ species of creatures who are capable of leveling cities) the environment will be thrown off and there will be a rigged vote on whether or not the Pokemon should replace the current creatures.

Our grandchildren's grandchildren will have Growlithes and Glameows as pets. Actually, those would be obsolete and the kids would have fluffy-flying-fire-steel-dark-dragon type things instead, that could be rented out as assassins if their allowances seemed too low.

I just realized that the world culture could be enslaved by the Pokemon creators if we give them 40 years to progress as much as they do now.

First two were revealed today.

More will be revealed next month. Turns out "Z" is an evolved pokemon, just like Lucario was. It's design is actually kind of cool. >_>

EDIT: It's been 4 hours(ish) and Rule 34 doesn't apply to Gen V yet. More at 11.

So Zoroark is the new Lucario. Here's hoping they don't decide to screw Mewtwo and Lucario over for this guy in the next Smash game.

Hey, maybe we'd get more Drill Dozer then.

I'm pretty sure that, about the time you were making this post, I was exposed to Zoroark porn. I did not go looking for it, but I saw it. So, yeah, it's out there.

Bumping the fuck outta this because:
