I don't know what it is...I know red/blue had crazy lookin pokes, but they look more...natural? reallistic? believable? I'm not sure what the word is, but don't you get that vibe that a lot of the pokemon in rby/saph and dppt look almost...too fancy?

Look at Dialga and Palkia....being considered dieties is one thing, but dont they look like they are too much for being pokemon?

Those are just 2 examples and I used them because they are legendaries.
But don't a lot of the newer ones just look...not real? (I know its fake, but imo the gameboy pokes had a more real look instead of cartoony look)
Is it because they use brighter colors? is gamefreak just running out of ideas of pokemon?

I may be alone on this one, but I think gamefreak is just making the game almost too cartoony for my taste.

You're not alone. I only got to like the 3rd gym in Pearl and I thought they had improved over Ruby/Sapphire which was almost horrendous. Yes, they seemed like they were running out of ideas.

And a lot of Pokemon in that game were straight up UG.

i dont know why u mock so much 3rd gen, the 4th was the worst (talking about sprites) and the 1 had a lot of ugly and nowhere near real ones too (mr.mime, jynx, lickitung)

I think they've improved the designs. Compared to the ones from gen 1 which were very simple to the ones more complex from gen 4. That doesn't mean that every generation has had one or two pokemon that doesn't fit the game.

I liked the 3rd gen more than the 4th gen. 2nd gen was the best imo.

exactly. behind its mask this is just another "i only like the first gen pokemon games!" threads. IMO they've gotten better over time. the majority of my favorit pokemon (metagross, flygon, gardevior, swellow, slaking, ect) are 3rd gen, and i like quite a few 4th gens as well (porygon z and drapion, to name a couple). admittadly, there are some odd pokemon, but in a strangeness contest, i dont think dialga is even in the same league as mr mime

First and second generations were the best. Starting on the third, it seemed like they were low on ideas. Snorlax = Slaking Rhyhorn/Rhydon = whatever aron turns into there's more, but I forgot all of them because I hate them. :P I just remember playing through Sapphire and noticing a lot of similarities. The fourth generation did okay, but still had some uninspired pokemon. Those three mew looking ones are an example. All the same thing. :?

I agree the first 151 pokemon looked awesome. Now we have like birds with musical notes for heads and a cat that is ugly?!?!?! also in red and blue there was one super legendary pokemon (mewtwo) and three legendary birds (articuno, moltres and zapdos) now in the new ones theres like 10 legendaries and 5 super legendaries i cant even tell the differece between legendary and normal becos in red and blue legendaries looked awesome and different from normal pokemon, bt in diamond and pearl every pokemon is f*ck*d up so the legendaries dont stand out

aaah, this again. People loved the first gen, and flamed the second gen for being a rip-off of the 1st. Then people started to like it again and started hating gen 3 for whatever reason. Now people are still hating on gen 3, and dislike gen 4. Anyways, 3rd,4th,1st,2nd 3rd: It was the most unique game to me. Lots of exploration, lots of caves, lots of different geographic environments, and the pokemon were unique too. 4th: It was pretty cool. Lots of mountains, and snow. Too many legendaries, but it doesnt bother me. 1st: It was pretty much to foundation of Pokemon, but thats pretty much it. The pokemon were original (of course) and had a decent plot. 2nd: I still dont get all the hype for this gen. the plot was pretty much like the 1st, had a 2nd region, and a exclusive shiny. The pokemon were....weak. With Kingdra, Tyranitar, and some others as exceptions of course. But most of the pokemon posed little or no meaning. Quilfish? Dunsparce? Unown? Corsola? Delibird? They need some evos.

Lets not forget that the 3rd gen pokemon brought Ludicolo and mudkip so show some respect.

Ps. Shaymin shouldnt be a legend! It sucks
