Well, it's obvious isn't it. Satoshi Tajiri, assuming he's still alive, and his development team, are in it for money, not for the original fun of it. Sure, he saved Nintendo when they came out with the GameBoy Color, and had a limited amount of games for it, but that was when he had a dream. Now, you guys are right, the Pokemon may be powerful, but they're look is a little questionable. It seems like someone just looked at something and said, "I'll make that into a Pokemon because I'm running out of ideas," and viola, a semi-retarded looking creature is born who easily beats the other generations. I miss the old days when Gyrados was a dragon type, and Alakazam kicked serious booty. It's not the same anymore.

Gyarados never was a dragon type pokemon... you might have thought it was dragon because Lance had two I think of them.

EDIT: Corrected 2 typos

Woah... I think this is the first time I've even had to re-read one of Jerry's posts because of grammatical errors. That's actually pretty impressive, for over a thousand posts...

Anyway, cortex, I haven't seen a problem until B&W. Considering how many pokemon have been made so far, you can't accuse him of not caring about anything but money. HUNDREDS of completely made-up animals, and only now are they getting weird. Even the first gen... That was over a hundred pokemon. Obviously the more you make, the lower the quality of each unique pokemon is going to be. Besides, there are still plenty of awesome new ones, so there's no problem.

No wonder... I was eating and typing with a hand and also performing calculations when posting this... I think I shouldn't do this again

Well, about the Gyrados thing, there was a glitch in R/B/Y where an ice or dragon type attack was super effective. I thought it would be a little humorous to point that out since it only happened to Lance's Gyrados at a random time. And, yeah, I think it's all about money now than anything else because the ideas are getting too weird. The first three gen. were at least clever. The fourth was a completion, and now the fifth is like starting over. Seriously, can you think of any other possibility? We also know that in a year or so, there will be a third game with more features than B/W that won't work for B/W, like platinum, emerald, crystal, and yellow. It's marketing at it's best, but robbing the past idea.

I realised the other day that all the Pokemon in Gen V remind me of enemies and tameable monsters from the old school Monster Quest games.
