Sounds sweet, but this new generation of pokemon is the era of "weirdly shaped, designed pokemon."
It's as if though the developers just ran out of design ideas and put whatever that struck their minds first.

KonohagakureFC4841d ago

They did run out of ideas its true, in one of the interviews they spoke about how hard it was to design 150 new pokemon and how in previous generations there are pokemon who are similar to the new ones

TheColbertinator4841d ago

They certainly over used the spikes.Most of the new Pokemon have tons of spikes

Yep, I'll be picking mine up in 7 hours or so. I don't get off work til Just before midnight so since I'll be out anyways I'm gonna swing by the midnight launch where I reserved and pick it up. Not expecting too many people to be there, but I'd rather just get it on my way home rather than the next day. Can't wait to get started on another journey!

Jack-Pyro4841d ago

While I admit some of the new pokemon are laughable to say the least, there are a few Gems in there, I think all the Starters look good, as do their evolutionary forms, and I think I found a new favorite in the Centipede Pokemon.

I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.

Popsicle10d ago

I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.

Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
