All I know is that I am going to go with Oshawott on my first play through.
I also tend not to nickname my Pokemon on my first run so that I can learn their names better. |

I think I will also be using Oshawott, though, I haven't been following this so I don't know if the grass one might be better (I'm absolutely NOT using the fire type, it's so ugly ) |

Makes sense, Lunaria. I wish they would ditch the concept of giving us a Pidgey and Rattata clone at the start of every game
They should be more creative and start the game in a different environment, like a mountain or desert  |

Mountain? Spearow clone - see GSC.
Desert? Some weak vulture.
There is no escaping.... the birds.
They're coming for you in every game.

Can anyone with the Japanese version tell me what's the average normal type Pokemon you find at the very beginning of the game? Is it at least cute and good?
I liked Zigzagoon.  |

Ahh, you mean this cute little puppy that evolves into this atrocity?
What happened to cute Pokemon like Arcanine and Wigglytuff?  |

It seems as if most of the Pokemon in this gen. have lost the cuteness.
I mean compare Machop and its evolutions to Dokkora and its evolutions. Especially the first evolution of Dokkora since you will be able to capture it in the wild. Seriously, if I ran into that thing in the grass I would run as fast as I can trying not to piss myself. For the love of god, it's holding a steel girder!
You're right, I looked through the Pokemon on Serebii and I didn't like most of them ... but I think Chillarmy makes up for all that :O  |

I dunno, the formula hasn't changed much.
Small cute pokemon evolves into big ugly pokemon. Styling is a bit more sophisticated nowadays though. |

That comic is awesome! I have to show it to my friends who've also been complaining that the new Pokemon are ugly.  |

Eh, I don't really see what's so good about many of the older ones...
(then again, I like [trope=RuinedFOREVER]Hoenn[/trope] the best...)
Anyways America gets the games on March 6. Europe on November 30, 2012.

Is the patch good? How much of the game has been translated so far?
So far it seems really nice. They kept making new ones for awhile and everything I saw so far (up to the 3rd gym) was translated.
Plus, when the game is released in the US you can just use same save. ____________________ This text fades out because it can... |
