I say it's an April Fools joke. No money in the Pokemon games? Please..

It was an April fool's hoax, but nonetheless I still enjoy the concept. Take a few years out of the rpg concept and move Pokemon in a new direction, say a mmorpg?

Plus, then they could take the time to create a platform version of the games in 3D. It's about time they smartened up and made the games accessible outside of hand-held gamers' hands. I still have a hard time understanding the lack of a truly console based rpg in the entire series' history. They've done so many amazing break-through concepts from using the link-cable as a source of non-competitive gaming to using voice commands and linking hand-held games to consoled games. I think it's time for Nintendo to make the leap...

Imagine the possibilities if Bioware had the rights to the game? They know how to bring about a good RPG, like Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins...

simple...

that goddamn Jynx because i've never agreed with a female jello mold waving her tits and singing at me...

Farfetch'd cuz they made him useless

Sudowoodo, why don't you do anything epic?

and above all else, I hate how the pokemon moved from acceptable mixes of animals and other things, into these ridiculous combinations of crap. Best example ever in 3.....2.....1.... http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nosepass_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29

this is not an animal. it is a rip-off of easter-island statues that now have effing legs

what happened to the realism?

how do you do pixel art?
I wanna get in on this

thanks spirit. I just love bananas 

not sure about this contest idea though

resurrected Jesus offers you a healing so he slaps your head and shouts that you are teh BANNED!!

Gary Oak was the nice guy...
In the original Pokémon Red/Blue, when you encounter your rival in Lavender Town he asks whether or not you know what it’s like to have one of your Pokémon die. At this point in the game, he no longer has his Raticate that he used in previous battles.

Your rival battle before this took place aboard the S.S. Anne. Your rival’s Raticate sustained serious injuries from the battle… but, because crowding and confusion on the luxury liner, he was unable to make it to a Pokémon Center in time and the Raticate passed away. The real reason your rival is in Lavender Town to begin with is to lay his deceased friend to rest.

Despite all of this, your rival never outwardly tells you that you’re responsible for the death of his Pokémon. He hides his grief and instead channels that energy into the motivation he needed to continue his quest to become Indigo League Champion. The death of his Raticate effectively destroys your rival’s impish, childhood innocence. Although he tells himself that he doesn’t hold you responsible, he subconsciously holds a great deal of resentment towards you which further fuels his ambitions.

Tearfully swearing upon his Raticate’s grave to not fail in what he set out to do, he trains hard in hopes of becoming better than you… defeating you… and to eventually make it to the Pokémon League. Mere moments after he became Indigo League champion, he was defeated… by you. Although he fulfilled his promise to his fallen Pokémon, it was only for a painfully brief instant.

In the end, your rival is scolded by his grandfather while you receive the professor’s praise. During the course of the game, you steal your rival’s innocence, crush his dreams, and ultimately snatch away the love of his own grandfather.

Oh, and by the way, your rival doesn’t have any parents. He’s an orphan.


Saw this, and knew it had to be added ^_^
