Have to say I agree about the crazy amount of legendaries though.
I think I picked charmander the first time I played through red, but quickly swapped over to bulbasaur as my favorite and stuck with him most of the other times (did a few squirtle starts but still fell in love with bulbasaur). As for eevee, I think it is pretty cool how they keep coming up with new evolutions for it, and with all the different types they could easily keep it going for a very long time, but after a while it becomes the same as with the legendaries. "oh hey look eevee can change into something else," type of thing and then what. I say my main concern about pokemon though is the lack of originality for the pokemon and the lack of attempt for pokemon designs. I mean trubbish and garbodor, a pokemon made of trash? That's pretty messed up. As for my comment about the redesign of Gen I pokemon in Gen V, timburr is a perfect example. Timburr and it's evolutions are just a reimagining of machop and his evolutions. Purrloin was another meowth, tympole another poliwag, throh and swak a pair of hitmonlee and hitmonchan, klink were magnemites in a sense, I could go on and on. Granted for as many reimaginings there were twice as many originals, but it makes you sad knowing that kids these days won't enjoy the regular trio and the few legendaries.

Yeah I was very worried about that happening with eevee for a while. I do have to agree though it lacks the sense of accomplishment (as much as one can get from a game at least). You used to be a beast if you had managed to capture all of the legends without cheating. Now it's like well congrats you now have one of twenty lol

Still some of the designs that are original are kind of interesting, but at the same time I feel pokemon has lost the magic that it had when it was still in it's first few generations. I haven't even touched pokemon x and y because I'm kind of worried about the pokemon I might see.

You don't need to call yourself that, everyone is new to something at one point in their life so we have all been noobs. I will say that D&P was a decent series just because of the awesome legendaries (mainly giratina) so I don't really have much negative to say about Gen IV besides the number of legendaries. But don't think less I the fact that you joined the pokeverse later than others. That's what this thread is for, to just share your viewpoints on the different generations of Pokemon without thing to be an ass to those who joined after you did.

it had all the good stuff: chasing Suicune, pitfalls, free pokemon (like my charmander with flamethrower i got from the egg on my first playthrough) and getting the 4 base element stones from trainers
I never actually played crystal but it looked excessively interesting to be honest. But lets talk something else pokemon that most people don't really talk about much, the pokemon console games. I'll admit I played the first pkmn stadium game quite extensively and have started on the GC games, so far it's actually pretty interesting if I knew what I was doing. what are your thoughts on those ones.
