Oh wow SG xD I am most definitely choosing wotter.

Also, WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE MONKEY POKEMON D:< eff the grass money, it's a waste of a pokemon.

We only have three monkey families preceeding it, four even if you count Hihidaruma's- which is way cooler when you know what a daruma is- who is an ape and more of an inanimate object even then anyway. There are more dogs than that, and you know damn well you'd like fun new dogs, or cats, etc. If it's revealed to have no evolutionary line, low stats, and nothing in its movepool to make it a viable choice in battle, then you may call it a waste of a Pokemon (though I never saw you say the same of Luvdisc before it got an evo or other similar 'mon), and even that would still be debatable. '^^ Point is, just because monkeys aren't your thing, you have no justification to bash them. They can't make every new Pokemon based on the same ten or twenty awesome animals, and it'd be boring if they did, so there are going to be ones you find "meh" and ones you dislike, but they're not a waste. They just cater to a different part of the fandom.

There are enough monkeys already to satisfy them, hell they got the last fire starter. I just mean that they should come up with pokemon based off animals or other things that they haven't done before.

My recent trip to the zoo actually led me to at one point say aloud, "This is why I don't mind seeing 'less originality' in the number of things they base Pokemon off of." 'x3; A lot of those animals they haven't done we do have something at least similar to or are just straaaaange, heh.

They have in fact done quite a few new things this generation. Technically Buizel was a weasel, not an otter. We got a chinchilla, a zebra, a meerkat, a pigeon (despite the name, we all know Pidgey never was one any more than Mr. Mime is all-male), an eagle that also embodies average views of traditional Native American culture, a swan, a flying squirrel, a cell, a gem node, and more to come.

As Emonga shows (unless as I keep praying it is Pachi's evo and just breaks all precedents regarding ability and height change), doing a new animal doesn't always mean originality. As the sarcophagus Pokemon shows, new and original things are just as likely to be just weird and unsettling as they are cool and creative-feeling, too. 'xD;

So yeah. I'll take the second kitsune family that embodies the illusory rather than ancient/physical aspects of the legends and the second dream-related tapirs that create rather than feed on dreams gladly over more sarcophagi-level things, thanks. 'x3;
