Title: Some game designer and the like may just be a little stupid...
Post by: Tom on 09 Apr 2008, 20:18
I haven't played a video game, apart from FFXII, in what seems like eons.

So, today I decided to start playing Pokemon Pearl.

nothing wrong just running along, work my way through the intro get into the actual game and what do I discover...

Everyone looks like what would happen if Toad some who got into the pokemon universe and travelled back into the time when humans were Mankies and decided to fuck a few of them.

Seriously Gamefreak, what the fuck

You're speaking about how ugly these new pokemon look?  I've honestly found it hard to care since they've expanded on the original 150.  What I love is how the game can only fit in about 100 pokemon and yet they feel the need to make and add a whole bunch more to the game when they really don't need to.  The newer ones really look stupid, but then again look at Polygon or Jynx....where did they come from?

well......this is the computer and video games forum....and Pokemon IS a video game.....and since he's talking about how the new pokemon look idiotic I thought it would be self evident...

that and I want to see if this would end up travelling off into other tangential discussions about stupid vide game art/designs.

I thought he was referring to the people in the game, not the Pokemon.

So pokemon is suffering from Megaman syndrome...  Shocking?  No not really.

After so many iterations of the same general concept, you run out of ideas.  It cant be helped.
