All 5th Generation Pokemon are Now Revealed

All of the 5th Generation Pokemon are now revealed on Serebii (http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml).

I have to say in general, the 5th Generation Pokemon are rather... odd looking. Though I'm glad they've got quite a variety of Pokemon, in terms of animal representation, appearance, and type.

I guess when it comes to favourites that I'd want to put on my team, there's Daikenki, Yanakki, Zeburaika, Doreida, Warubiaru, Shinpora, Abagoora, Aakeosu, Shanderaa, and Ononokusu.

And please, if you're going to check out the link and say that they all suck or something similar to that, at least mention one Pokemon in the 5th Generation that you like (or you're close to liking, if you hate them all that much).

[Edit] Since Serebii isn't showing the sprites for the new 5th Generation Pokemon, I've added a new link to the sprites on Psypokes (http://www.psypokes.com/dex/sprites.php?view=regular&gen=5).

Denchura is cool, bug/electric
Sazando looks kinda cool... dark/dragon

based purely on looks Zeburaika looks awesome

I probably won't ever get this game though, I can't really get into pokemon anymore as much as I try

Man the art really has gone downhill after the first two generations

Man the art really has gone downhill after the first two generations

Agreed. That's basically after I stopped caring about pokemon (anime and otherwise) so I don't recognize anything. Also nothing looks like a cute animal, or there aren't enough cute pokemon.

[Depression Moon]

I don't see their sprites.

[ljkkjlcm9]

I don't see their sprites.

serebii and a couple of other sites had to take stuff down, due to Nintendo copyright lawyers. Essentially, they received their info through a hacked ROM instead of the actual game, and Nintendo did not like this.

Yeah, it's really disappointing that Nintendo told Serebii and Pokebeach to take down the pictures. It kind of makes this thread pointless. I wonder if I'll have to take down the picture of the candle Pokemon then.

But what's even more disappointing is some of your responses to the 5th Generation Pokemon. It's as if you're not even trying to like it simply because it's not the 1st Generation. That closed-minded mindset really annoys me. I mean, that's exactly why I was hoping for you guys that don't like the 5th Generation in general, to name at least one Pokemon that you like in there. At least it'll sound like you're trying to give it a chance that way.

And last of all, it's a game. You're supposed to enjoy it, not let it make you all miserable. Try to enjoy it for what it is, not what it isn't.

[Agent Proto]

That candle pokemon art is based off the sprite, so it's fine because it's not a direct sprite. The problem with Serebii and Pokebeach was the fact that they used an illegal rom of the game to make their screenshots of the game.


Edit: i also want to add that I actually like some of the new Pokemon in this new generation. I'll post the ten that I like so far (not including any starters).

It's just some people online. Why let them ruin you're enjoyment? Why give a fuck if they give something a chance or not when it doesn't affect the fun you get outta it?

I couldn't see the sprites, but I have no problem saying I wasn't impressed with the vast majority of Pokemon from 4th Gen and a fair amount from 3rd. Still, SS made me remember why I love the games, so once this is on sale I'll probably pick it up, if for no other reason than the interesting looking type combinations.

[Ultima Shadow]

Shanderaa and Sazando are my new favs.

Ononokusu is looking awesome too. Finally a dragon that's just a "dragon" and nothing more. But considering its absolutely insane Attack stat, good speed and ability to learn both Dragon Dance and Outrage, it's so totally going to be used by every single person in the universe... and maybe even moved to "uber" eventually, just like Garchomp was.


Genosekuto is pretty nice for a legendary. It's a freaking terminator robot bug with a laser-cannon on its back. How awesome isn't that? And while its stats are good, it certainly doesn't look broken. So it might be OU material.

I guess you've got a point. It's just that what others say or think affects me quite easily.

That, and I'm pretty sure that the 1st Generation purists would have at least one Pokemon that they'd like out of the 156 New 5th Generation Pokemon (http://www.psypokes.com/dex/sprites.php?view=regular&gen=5).

I'm pretty sure that this link to the 5th Generation Pokemon sprites will be staying, seeing how they claim they were used with permission, and they're already sticking around longer than the ones on Serebii.

This is totally going to be my new team. Boxcrab is going to be the de facto leader.

[Depression Moon]

where'd you get those pics? Bunny are all of those really pokemon? One just looks like some gears, another one looks like snow ontop of an icicle, one looks like a chandelier, and the one on the end WTF is that?

[Bunny]

In order:

The evolution of gears (in which after every evolution you add a gear), a severally deformed ice cream cone (the left cone suffers from mental retardation and the right cone suffers from Straw-in-Brain syndrome), Boxcrab (MOTHERSMURFING BOXCRAB), A displeased mushroom with Pokeballs for arms (thus the displeasure), the homosexual ghost of a chandelier , and Nintendo's artistic interpretation of what a snowflake made entirely out of metal would look like. It also has a mustache.

I like the yeti bear. http://www.psypokes.com/dex/regular/614.png

[Markus. D]

Misses and Hits for me. More misses, great hits though <3! They seem to be going with an entire standalone no-crossover gen line-up, is this confirmed?

[Ultima Shadow]

I just realised how awesome Aakeosu is going to be with a Choice Band.

140 base-Attack, 110 base-Speed, Rock-Type and learns Head Smash (Rock-move with 150 base-Power).

150 + 50% type-bonus = 225 Base Power with a potential 416 Attack + Choice Band = freaking insane damage.

And 110 speed makes it outspeed almost every other powerful offensive pokemon. Only drawback is the recoil from Rock Smash, but that's a minor issue when you'll be able to OHKO like 9/10 of every pokemon ever.

[Fynn]

I actually find the 5th generation very appealing. With small exceptions (Victini is just weird), I think all the Pokemon are very imaginative. And Emboar! Damn, I'm going for the fire starter again, with no regrets. I must say it's the best-designed fire starter since Cyndaquil's evolution family... I hate, however, the fact that it is part fighting again... I mean, grass and water get interesting combinations so why does every smurfing fire starter since Blaziken have to be fire/fighting?

[Ultima Shadow]

The Water starter is the most appealing for me, by far. Not just because of the design though.

Semi-bulky Water with decent attack that learns Swords Dance, Aqua Jet and Megahorn? Yeah, that's nice.

Grassknot combined with its good Special Attack should make it a great choice for dealing with other Bulky Waters too. The only great move that really seem to be missing is Ice Beam.



...actually, scrap that. If the new ability "Perversity" reverses self-inflicted status modifications as well, then I'll totally go for the Grass-starter. At first I thought the Grass-starter was the lamest of them all. But with this ability, it becomes sooo awesome. Leaf Storm that increases your Special Attack further instead of decreasing it is no joke. And Glare (which it can learn) now has 90 accuracy, making it much more worthwhile.




...and yeah, I'm not disappointed either. But since I care more about possible pokemons to use for a competitive tournament-worthy team than "catching them all", it only takes a couple of cool/interesting "powerful enough" pokemons to please me. =P

And B/W certainly got some of those.





Edit:

Old pokemons now have the possibility of learning entierly new abilities. Ditto can apparently get "Auto-Transform" (transforming upon switching in), which means it might actually be quite useable in battle now.

Other interesting abilities learned by previous gen pokemons includes Espeon learning "Magic Coat" which reflects most non-attack moves back at the opponent upon switching in, and Dragonite learning some ability that halves damage taken as long as its HP is full (in other words, first hit will only deal half damage, making it able to survive an Ice attack or opposing dragon's Outrage etc as long as it has taken no prior damage.)

Some major changes has also been done to certain moves, like "Thrash and Petal Dance" now have 120 Base Power just like Outrage, and Glare now has 90 Accuracy rather than 75 (my personal favourite change). Full list of move-changes can be found here: http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/oldattacks.shtml

Something like Chirachiino interests me... not outstanding but useful
Let's break it down!
http://www.pokecharms.com/games/images/2/2d/BW_Fr_573.png

Normal type,
Phys attack base of 95 (just below top 100), speed of 115 (top 25)... PS: These numbers aren't exact yet, they're estimates.
Can learn technician (for the 50% damage boost on less than 60 dmg attacks), as well as the now boosted physical type Bullet Seed, Rock Blast, Technician to 37 damage each hit, chance at 185 damage (I believe only self-destruct and explosion are more powerful than that).
PLUS Sweep Slap is a normal version of the same thing which gets the STAB, meaning... what? 55 each hit? chance at 275 damage... which would be even stronger than explosion....

Granted, their chance based, but still, very strong if it works, even just two hits from them will be a decent 74(BS, RB) or 110(SS) damage.

Strong against
Ground, Water, Rock, Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice
with Bullet Seed and Rock Blast moves
the Normal Sweep Slap is a good cover for everything except ghost, rock, steel (but grass is strong on rock)
I'd probably put Wake Up Slap (60 damage fighting to 90) for Steel types
Ghost types aren't a worry as their attacks don't damage normal type.
Plus only weak to fighting cause it's normal type.
Cheer Up is another option for the 4th slot, for the attack boost.
Protect is another option, to help due to the sub-par defenses.

Or Dream World skill for the ability Skill Link which ensures these multi-hit moves hit 5 times, equaling 125 damage anyways, everytime. (I still prefer the technician one)

I'm going to have a team of unevolved's if anything. A lot of guys I like have evolved forms that make me unhappy.
