"Pokémon X and Y may have gotten its fair share of cool new features, but let’s be real for a moment: the most obvious new enjoyment comes from the addition of new Pokémon.
Not too long ago, I chronicled the hideous Pokémon that made us all question Game Freak’s sanity and hydration levels. This time around, I’d like to list some pocket monster designs that actually deserve some credit.
Here is a top ten list of the new creatures inhabiting the France-inspired Kalos region. Their placement in this list is purely subjective on my part. These are tiered moreso in terms of their design, and not necessarily their usefulness in combat." - Stephen Hilger
Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.
why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.
Answer should be obvious.
No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
looks like Hawlucha has a camel toe in the picture.
Number 1 should've been Klefki.
fail list...
Hawlucha is by far the best new pokemon. It's just a fantastic design and it's great for HMs if you need that. My second favorite is Delphox. I don't know why, but I just like Delphox a lot. I mean he even has a wand and everything. I really liked Pokemon Y compared to previous generations. Very impressed and already have 85 hours in it.
Top 10? that's like half the kalos pokedex
