10 bucks says if the starters were part of the original 151 folks wouldn't know the difference.

I'm actually not a huge fan of gen I's designs for anything other than nostalgia - I was just saying that design philosophies change, whether people like it or not. I really like the gen VI starters.
Let's get him, Team Chespin
It's the perfect ability for him (attacks do 50% damage when at full health), given his natural bulk and his ability to recover back to full health with Roost. He also picked up Hurricane which makes Special sets in the Rain (he can run Thunder and Surf as well) effective. And he has an amazing movepool for support (Thunder-Wave, screens, Tail Wind), setting himself up, can go physical, or special, or mixed wall breaker.. has priority moves. Great Pokemon.

grass evo will be the coolest. fire will be a smug fox, water will be a ugly toad and the grass will be a cool happy super nuttank.

They're both pokemon, simple as. The only difference is the glaringly different artstyle. The new one is more anime influenced where as the former looks like it's trying to look more natural.
I can't
oh god what is this?
I stopped using his site after this. Worst part was he DOUBLED DOWN on it when people called him out.
BW2
XY
It practically looks 2D. Cel shading was invented to look flat and this game is coming out on a stereoscopic 3D system.
For comparison, here's Pokemon Stadium 2 for N64 (hardware over 16 years old)

3DS Pokedex
I've played every generation of pokemon -- I'm a fan of the series but I'm annoyed by how slow it moves forward. Based on what they've shown so far, XY isn't going to convince me to get a 3DS
Chespin evolution, obviously.
Eh, I'd have to see them drawn in the old art style.

What makes the starters not look like Pokemon?

I don't see it...
If you put Fennekin on a white background without that glow, it would fit right in.

most of gen 1 had anime like eyes/design

I can't
I almost burst out laughing when I saw that.
I think the fire starter looks great. Definitely my pick. The grass type definitely looks like a pokemon, just not a really appealing design with all the brown wearing like a hat/coat of green. Typically I would expect all green for a leaf/grass. It reminds me of a mix of that bunny pokemon and bidoof. In my opinion, would have been great for one of those first pokemon you encounter in your journey, just not very good choice as a starter.
I don't know but the water one. It doesn't fit in.
Man, still in shock that this is worldwide, it's going to be awesome. If the 3DS stays relatively unhacked, we could be in for an unspoiled, not-dumped-and-accessed, fresh title. Discovering the pokemon as we go instead of looking them all up online.
I'm pretty darn pumped. They have like 9 months to iron out the kinks.

Cel Shaded >>>>>>>>> Normal 3D
The former is for the worse, imo. The eyes and the stupid smirk.
Did you read the GAF threads when the 3DS was unveiled? People claimed it wasn't more powerful than the DS.
I'm afraid they are.

Yikes. I just noticed gen 1 had a lot of purple in it. Its not a bad thing, but it wasn't very noticable to me until I saw them in that list.
That final stage evolution was pure bullshit.You'd be wrong.

Ah, we've arrived at the Pokeymen don't look like Pokeymen stage already. Dat cycle
Combat looks better in Stadium 2 as far as I'm concerned.

People really forgot what n64 games look like.
If you want to get into battling, I'd check out Nugget Bridge. Firestorm is a GAF regular and also is one of the people that runs the site. They do some awesome articles and also have a Pokemon Showdown! server.
I bet Diglett won't even be able to fly.

Honestly, I didn't notice it. The outlines are very subdued.
What else would you call this?

I wanna use this as my avatar, but its already taken by two people. Idon't think theres a rule for having the same avatar as someone else and atleast two different people already have this avatar so I'll be taking it if thats ok. (If its not pm me since I may mnt see your post. Still early into the thread.)FENNEKIN FANS
I worked really fast on this.
Avatar size
yeah okay
This is even being kind to Pokemon Stadium, because it was never so clean and crisp looking.
yeah okay
he got the n64dd and it don't look like that in his memory so.

Years of emulation and upscaling do that to people. I bet they don't even play their old systems on CRTs anymore!
