Im rather sad as to how so many of the names are terribly uncreative. Chimchar? Starly? Im going to get used to them, I know, but I think that NOAs not doing a huge effort on this. I do like Croalurk and Carnivine, though, which is just as well considering that Gregguru and Masukippa are some of the my favorite Pokmon from this generation.

Pidgey does roll better off the tongue than Starly... Chimchar is too much like Charmander come to think of it.

Turtwig
Chimchar
Pochama
Starly
Kricketot
Shieldon
Pachirisu
Floatzel
Buneary
Glameow
Happini
Croalurk
Carnivine

Carnivine and Kricketot are excellent names in my opinion. They did a great job on those. I wonder why they kept Pochama and Pachirisu... I do like Pochama, but I'm not too sure about keeping Pachirisu.

Actually Pochama might not be the name and I think Pachirisu makes sense but that's probably just because I know some japanese.

I do agree some names on the list are iffy but I'm not too phased. My favorite name is Carnivine.

Buneary, Happini, and Croalurk are definitely low points. Carnivine's pretty clever, though.

*Reads the list of names and shakes his head in disgust*

See what I mean? most of these names are uninspired and are just bad.(I'm sorry but that's as nice as I could put it).

Here's a thought. Do you think Pokemon is going down the drain ever so slowly? (I love pokemon so don't think that I hate it and want to see it fall) I hope it's not. Well maybe in the area of names but as far as concept, no.

*Looks at list of bad names again* SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS!!!!!!!!

I don't know, I thought Ruby and Sapphire were extremely weak in comparison to Gold and Silver. It was just..more of the same. I'd love to see a 'gotta catch 'em all' Pokemon handheld RPG with a different goal or twist that doesn't come off as a contrived.

What do you mean by different goal or a twist? Are you like tired of having to stop the bad guys from doing something bad? I think that it should be more like the show. Also, the contests should defitnitley be like the show. If your pokemon does an attack, the next attack you use should have some effect on it whether it's good pr bad. It's sorta dissappointing when you watch the show and so and so used bubblebeam and Pin Needle and the bubbles pop and everyone likes it but then you play it on the game and you can't really do a combo like that.....

... hate the anime... Only part of the anime I liked was the first episode, the episode with the giant Claydol and the first, second, and the 8th full-length movies. Anywho, I'm tired of the whole get 8 bages and beat the pokemon league. I want a new focus on the games. Or maybe added focuses where you have the pokemon league and stuff but you have other purposes that last the whole game like the league does. The battle fronteer was more or less headed down that path but was only seen toward the end of the game. Actually, what I'd really like to see would be a new purpose for them other than to battle. Like run a business using them as pets or whatever. Sounds cheezy but I've played things like that that were actually really cool.

What would be totally awesome is a 3-D pokmon adventure game for the Wii. Not like Stadium or Colloseum, but real-time, maybe Zelda/Mario-like with worlds to travel. Perhaps a game that lets you be a pokmon again, like the Mystery Dungeon games.

Frankly, Pokmon is a formula that works. Even today, the focus and main story of the game is pretty much the same with new Pokmon, attacks, graphics, mechanics, characters and locations every time. Franchises like Castlevania and The Legend of Zelda use the same "If its not broken, dont fix it" motto, and theyre doing very well. Considering how fast Diamond and Pearl sold in Japan, I think that they will stick with the formula for a long time to come.

...Besides, Pokmon spin-offs tend to be really bad.

Except Snap. Well, it wasn't very long or challenging.

At least Mario shakes it up once a while with stuff like Paper Mario or Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga.

It would be cool if we could become a gym leader or apart of the elite 4 and actually fight as the champion, or a battle brain. I think that a pokemon game with the focus of a zelda or mario game wouldn't be that bad....... at least it sounds interesting. Oh, and maybe if we can make our own pokemon in the game like, draw it on the touch screen of the DS and color it give it attacks and stuff make your own trainer and attacks......you get the idea.

I really agree with ShinE but I'm not sure if that is what would go in the pokemon company.

Well, they need to think outside the box for once. I mean they're thinking out of it a little bit by letting you become a pokemon but they're still stuck on "if it's not broken, don't fix it" as Darkwolf said. But I agree with Deckuzora that they won't make such a big step in fear that it'll suck but sometimes it's good to take risks because it can work for the better.

I think it's a little sad that there is only, what, 93 pokmon this time around? Are they so squeezed for ideas that they can't come up with anything? If anything, the new pokmon for each game should be their primary goal before they start to work on anything else.

Another thing that scares me is that last pokmon, I forgot what it's called, but it's the Final Pokmon and looking at how it can be any type in the game, its starting to make me wonder if it is going to be the final pokmon.

There was a guy over at our affiliate Pokémon Treasures, who when he left, made a speech about how he worked at Nintendo, and that they were going to end pokémon and distribute the source code to the public. The guy also said he owned the original night Rider car, but hey, perhaps he was right. It would certainly be hilarious.

As I said the last time this news was mentioned, I take the idea of Nintendo making Pokmon open-source with so much salt the Dead Sea's jealous. It would be the exact opposite of Nintendo's usual adamant stance on the subject.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo ended the typical Pokemon RPGs with Diamond and Pearl (excluding perhaps remakes of previous ones). They almost seem like a closure to the series with their reliance on the original games and Gold and Silver plot points and devices, their introduction of numerous legendaries, and especially with the introduction of the most powerful Pokemon possible...that is also the "God" of Pokemon.
