    I stopped playing during Gen 3 because my rival was being polite to me.

    Listen, Pokemon, you make my rival a giant asshole I can't stand right this instance!

    You had Silver version too? I freaking loved that game. I remember one playthrough I beat the Elite Four with my Pokemon at level 38 or so. Sadly the battery wiped out soon after...
    I had such a good time when Soul Silver came out. Oh man, those nostalgia feels. And then Pokemon from Gen 3+ started being used and I had to sit with a Pokedex next to me so I could figure out what types they all were because I couldn't tell from the names.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    Of course on the bright side only a small few of them showed up. And Kanto was completely restored, with the old legendaries and areas that were previously blocked off due to space restraints once again accessible. Pokemon Black and White were like what Pokemon Gold and Silver were for the previous generation, and they were glorious, but there's absolutely no Pokemon from the other generations available in game until after the credits roll so... if you're not into that I can't recommend it.

    But this generation.... good lord it's awful. The starters and the box legendaries were the only great looking Pokemon in there, and the upcoming remakes of Ruby and Sapphire.... I dunno if I can take those. Even the names suck. Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby? I've seen fan remakes do better!

    Adding new evolutions and whatnot bothered me. I am very attached to my originals - I don't need super awesome mega special Charizard or whatever. Charizard was always my (very cliche) favourite because I always went with fire starters and I love dragons, and he was the most dragon-looking of Gen 1. Dragonite was a massive disappointment. How did something as beautiful as Dragonair evolve into Dragonite? Derp.

    Actually, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the new Charizard evolutions. Which of these seems to make more sense?

    I might've loved Dragonite if he looked more like ​that.

    Eh, I don't think I could have. That entire design makes no sense and just plain wouldn't work. Those.... feathers? There's no supporting structure there so if he tried to fly with them they'd just bend and not catch the wind. And the eternal flames... Wouldn't he run out of fuel? As for Dragonite I thought it was cute but it could have been done a bit better. But I still love the bugger. I guess it just grew on me.

    The Pokemon itself is fine - it's the lack of continuity in the evolution that bothers me. Dragonair is sleek, stylish and blue; Dragonite is none of those things.

    That sort of reminded me of a theory I once heard about Butterfree and Venomoth. Supposedly Venomoth was supposed to be Metapod's evolution, and Butterfree was supposed to be Venonat's evolution. Why the two were switched is unknown, but a lot of people theorize that cause of the eyes of both Butterfree and Venomoth matching Venonat and Metapod respectively.

    I... can't decide a favorite. There's Mew and Butterfree and Wigglytuff and Ninetails and Lugia and Mewtwo and Giratina and Charizard and Togetic and Yveltal.... and a couple dozen others.
