Would you watch Pokemon if it was centered around Max?
>>
No, Conan's already got his own show.
>>
No.
>>
Nah, I prefer Kai. He fits the series better.
>>
Nooooooo way.
>>
>>11590345 (OP)
Not in those pants.
>>
>>11590345 (OP)
no, but hilbert, arin (X and Y male protag), or cynthia would be 10 times more interesting than that pleb, ash
>>
>>11590366
Go back to /lit/
>>
>>11590345 (OP)
No, but I would watch if it was handled in a loose structure where the journeys of both main characters of whatever new game (X and Y or later gens) are covered.

No Team Wile E. Coyote/Doronbo rip-offs. Play the evil teams straight.

Something that the BW2 trailer suggested but for other protags. We need a refresher on the formula.

Not gonna happen though. Ash and Pikachu evryday.
>>
Might watch it for dat Misty.
>>
>>11590366

but that pleb ash would be 10 times as more marketable, which is the whole point. Deal with it.
>>
No.

what does /lit/ have to do with this?
>>
>>11590345 (OP)
I would watch pokemon if it was still the original 151 and not all this faggot shit like "block-a-mon". Seriously, a fucking pokemon thats blocks. Fucking seriously?!

I just can't get behind the new pokemon. I just don't like them. It has nothing to do with nostalgia.
>>
>>11590574
I wasn't trolling. I was being serious.

jimme (gold) had his own tv thing for a bit and i would love watching a season or 7 with him. but max? nope. also pleb ash kids recognize same with pikachu but im so tired of them
>>
>>11590507
>"block-a-mon". Seriously, a fucking pokemon thats blocks

I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about
>>
>>11590582

That's even worse.
>>
>>11590578
There is no rational reason not to like the newer Pokemon except nostalgia. Any complaints about design, concepts, etc. are all just nostalgia, because there's no difference. There are good designs and bad designs in each and every generation. If you "just don't like them," it has everything to do with nostalgia.
>>
>>11590611
I think that after the original 151 they were really pushing for just new content in general. I like the old ones because they were familiar. For the most part they actually represented creatures we know. I think my problem with the new ones is that they aren't relatable.

there's nothing like "block-a-mon" though. There are actually some good new 'mons, don't even say "they're all unoriginal" or some crap like that.
because seriously, voltorb is a pokeball, muk is a pile of shit, several 'mons are just 3 of the first form, and charizard is bland fire-dragon #3791
I'm not denying new gens have unoriginal designs, look at trubbish, it's fucking garbage
none of us want to turn this into a gen war thread, but have some logic
>>
>>11590630

I think if you compared the old and new ones, you'd find about the same proportion of relatable concepts and more out-there ideas. Nothing terribly relatable about a levitating magnet or a creepy mime.

imagine for a second, would you like gen 1 if the gens were released in reverse order?

It should be centered on Gary.

Gary Oak thread
>>
>>11590640
I said "for the most part". But if you think listing less than 12 out of 151 qualifies as "most" then I guess there's no speaking logic to you.

>>11590647
There's logic in what I said. The old ones were more relatable.

>>11590671
Yes, I think they look cooler too!
>>
Well, it was a nice thread while it lasted.

Here comes an unfunny forced meme.
>>
>>11590699
>>11590706
Nice samefagging
>>
>>11590715
Not like the thread was any good before that.

But anyways, I was being sincere when I mentioned Gary. It would be fun to watch, and his character development would be interesting to see.
>>
>>11590710
If you'll acknowledge that there's as many as twelve families which is about between double and triple that in actual 'mon in the first gen that fall under this, you need to realize that every other generation has a similar figure here. You might be avoiding the new generations based on the tiny percentage of unfamiliars while the rest is stuff you would love. You have to give stuff a chance, and when in doubt don't be afraid to look up what something is based on. A good example is Dusclops. People see it as a mummy cyclops, but that's not what it is at all. Paper Lantern Ghost thingie.

>>11590630
What animal is Machop's line supposed to be?

What animal are the Hitmons?

Fuck, Bulbasaur has claws and teeth so that shit is NOT a frog.

Magmar? What animal. Ducks don't have claws but it has a duckbill and it ain't a Platypus either.
>>
>>11590860
Machop and Hitmons are similar to Humans, obviously.

Bulbasaur is similar to pretty much a dog, I believe, in his behavior. I don't think his "plantyness" really came through in his/her persona. However, in the later evolutionary stage he/she seemed more sluggish and plant like. He was animated more as a large tentaclus fighter rather than a nimble pet like bulbasaur.

Magmar - Familiarity doesn't mean 100% like the original. You've already pointed out some features of magmar that you've seen in real life so I don't feel like I have to go into this.

>Bulbasaur
>Dog

Nigga what have you been smoking?
>>
>>11590345 (OP)
No, he's worse than Ash
>>
>>11590860

The gen1 Hitmons were based on Jackie Chan & Bruce Lee
>>
>>11590894
Do you know what "persona" means?
>>
>>11590909
I just don't see it.

I would google a gif of an instance of him panting like a dog but I figure if you cared enough you could do that.

are you seriously retarded?
