RAAAGGEE D< (About next gen)

[Admiral Striker General]

Okay. As you've all probably seen, SG may well be one of the most tolerable and supportive fans in the fandom. I will DIE if Emonga is not Pachirisu's evo but its own one-stage Pokemon, but other than that SINGLE one I've been actively DEFENDING the new Pokemon and other features and COMBATING complaints made against them. I went so far as to make a nice comprehensive chart that ACTUALLY PROVED Mamepato (pigeon) looked much less like Starly than Pichu did like Plusle when Daci and I had that convo, even. (x'3 Which was quite fun, really. *paraphrased of course* "Prove they look more alike." "You keep saying that but I don't see you doing so either. Prove your side, then." ">3 I AM." x'3)


BUT THIS. D<


I have always been supportive of Pokemon in everything they've done. It's always been rare for me to find a complaint and when I did it was minor and often temporary. There are some Pokemon I dislike, and I admittedly disagree with decisions to make certain families have new evos or prevos without messing with Kangaskhan in all this time (*still praying for a proper baby this gen*), as it's ridiculous it's been born full-grown with a baby of its own for over 10 years now. Overall, though, my biggest complaints have always been retardedness of certain dub names. ("Leaf"eon? That's the best you could do? Or "Lickilicky". C'mon. I didn't know it until later of course, but "Mr." Mime ended up being pretty bad too.) Normally I even get over those within a few months. (x3 Still think it was lame, but Leafeon IS my favorite evo.)

I was never that fond of May, but I didn't DISlike her, and I certainly wasn't on the "D< OMGITSNOTMISTY" bandwagon. Dawn is actually my FAVORITE female protagonist. (Because she has a much more believable backstory than the others, realistic aspiration vs ability, and ACTUALLY STRUGGLES at least at first, even if she did end up turning into the same sort of omgprodigy chars normally are.) I liked Tracey. It's sounding like they'll probably replace Brock again in Best Wishes; I'm sad to see him go, but also curious as to why and excited about Dento because he looks interesting and new faces are fun.


HOWEVER. At long last, I have found something that EVEN SG is just SO PISSED OFF about she can't stand it. D<<<<

THIS.
RIGHT HERE.
WTF.

Best Wishes summary on Serebii.

THE BOTTOM TWO PICS.

WHAT. THE. HELL. IS THAT!?



... Yes, I took three lengthy paragraphs and all that drawing out to say "No more Joy and Jenny clones". Yes, I know most of you won't care and a few will be excited. 'xD; I DON'T CARE. I AM PISSED DAMMIT. D<

'x3;

[Ethereal]

YESSSSS those clones were scary. I'm pleased with this.

[Admiral Striker General]

xD And you are the REASON for the "and some will be happy" remark.

But you know good and well they're just going to make these NEW clones, so it's not like they're getting any more personable or individual, it's just a regional difference... x''3 Like, all the old ones were Western Shellos (which are more common despite sucking apparently) and the new ones are Eastern Shellos (except East = <3 and new nurses and officers = D<)... 'x3;


... x'DD You know, when you think of this in an evolution/regional/etc sense, like how Galapagos Island species evolved differences and stuff, it's actually MORE creepy in a way...

[Jay]

Am I the only one that freaked out and thought I saw Lovrina as Nurse Joy in that image ._.

[Admiral Striker General]

....Who? ';

[Daci]

I wouldn't care so much... if they'd at least designed the clothing better. OMFG The Officer's clothes are FUGLY... and I can't tell if the officer is a dude or a dudette, And Nurse Joy's clothes... TOO MUCH PINK. Give us some better scrubs, please.

[Admiral Striker General]

'xD; INORITE? I'm certain the Jenny IS in fact a female due to the eyelashes if you look, but still. 'x3; I know they CAN design short-haired females that still look distinctively like chicks without full-body shots or having to squint looking for lashes. (See Zoey.)

[Daci]

What I love about 5th Gen tho is that the Professor is a FEMALE! <3 <3 <3 And that the trainer sprites are older, and the female is not pigeon-toed.

But still... Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy need to be seen by the Fashion Police. They'd be arrested.

[Jay]

Lovrina Although the picture of her there kinda sucks >_> she still has the pink hair and I see the new nurse joy kinda like her for some reason, lawl.

[Admiral Striker General]

x3 We do all love the hot young female professor, though giving her a canon also-in-research similar-age female friend is BEGGING for yuri, imo. xD And SG doesn't even like yuri most of the time.

xD And NICE. YES. Lovrina was TOTALLY related to the Joy family. x''3 Those green eyes are CONTACTS I say!

[Jay]

xD and in the Orre region where we don't have the option of Nurse Joyness I swear every time I saw her I was like >_> "You are so a demented Nurse Joy lol" xD sad she didn't fight with a Blissy or something <_< although Venus had a Blissy from the previous season lawl.

[Puppet]

Ew. Omg. They're killing the classics in the series. Next thing you know, Brock's going to turn gay.

[Admiral Striker General]

x3 NICE. Well, technically it's never been addressed so ANY character could be bi. Clearly if that's the case, Brock is MORE interested in women as a whole, but nothing's to say he couldn't fall for a specific guy, at least to my knowledge. Just sayin~


x.x JAY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HER OUTFIT?/HAIR?/WHAT-IS-THAT-I-DON'T-EVEN?

[Jay]

Venus's <_< ya IKR?? She ruled the Under and dressed like a.... LADY GAGA *is gangshotdead*

[Admiral Striker General]

xD YES.

x''3 Oh God, SO off-topic but reminds me.. My hubby was having me watch this vid of Pink live in concert, and she did this weird thing where she was hoisted up and dunked underwater a bit. And I was like "Wtf?? O.o" So my hubby's like "It's the Madonna thing! =o" "O.o The what?" And he was telling me about Madonna a bit, and then was like "She was like Lady Gaga back in her tim-" "WAIT. x__x' ...If THIS was considered LADY GAGA weird back then...? ..... ;-; Oh my GOD what is our CHILD going to grow up to...."

x''D

[Jay]

x'D oh my lawl. >_> a very interesting life is ahead *is shot*

[Daci]

Still can't decide between Tsutaja, Pokabu and Mijumaru, tho. >-> (not that SG's story isn't hilarious, Daci is an on-topic person)

Every time I research the Starters a new thing about them makes me want to cuddle them and DESTROY ALL OBSTACLES with them ^^'

Though I'm leaning more toward Mijumaru this week... but who knows. Last Week I was stuck on Tsutaja. And the Week before I luffed Pokabu.

This doesn't help, and it makes me wish I could draw... and that I had a tablet T^T

[Admiral Striker General]

YES. I'm almost certainly picking Mijumaru, unless Pokabu's evos end up just amazing or- and it would take even more- Tsutaja is the most orgasmic quetz EVAR and I just can't resist. x3

--

xD Speaking of starters, what are you guys's favorite fan-made English names so far?

[Daci]

Pignition

[Admiral Striker General]

x3 For Pokabu I like Piglit and Pignition both. (Not Pignite though; that doesn't work for me.)

Mijumaru? What other name IS there? WOTTER<3 *will die if that's not its official name*

And Tsutaja? Yeah, you can Smugleaf all you want, I'll pass. x''3 I saw one on dA that was just OMFGLOVE. I simply can't use another fanon name for it.. xD MARIGUANA. *dieslaughing* DRUGSAREBAD. But you have to admit, especially with its expression and the ease of manipulating that tail, it's HYSTERICAL<3 x'D
